Music, Game: Marathon Phoenix

I recently found a new awesome Marathon scenario! It's called Marathon Phoenix, and was made by a guy who's basically the only dedicated Marathon mapmaker left in the whole world, who goes by RyokoTK. A little bit more info about the scenario here.

So yeah, it's really challenging and a lot of fun to play. But half the reason I like it is because of its amazing soundtrack. It has a different feel than Eternal, which was generally peaceful, and Squadron, which was more industrial. The soundtrack of Marathon Phoenix consists of really short & sweet electronic tracks, which serve to bring out the action in the game even more.

Here's a sample: http://www.supload.com/listen?s=wloxEF

That's a good example of one of the action tracks, but there's some excellent songs that are more laid-back in the game as well. Having said this, "Animosity" and "Chronological" are some of my favorites.

Here's a zip file with the rest of the songs: http://www.mediafire.com/?656bmhieccxta4a

(these are really good biking songs btw)

Music: Minecraft Song by Bobby Yarsulik

Here's a video with a really nice song someone made about Minecraft. I like to play it sometimes now when I play Minecraft.

Starting this thing up again

Hello (nonexistant) world!

Today I am starting this blog back up again, and I will update it in my spare time with brief blurbs on:

- music
- anime
- games
- etc.

...for anyone who is interested. Specifically, I am restarting this for my sister and her friend, but it's stuff I'm interested in so the blog will basically just stay the same as it was before.

Will update later today!
