Morning Cup o’ Music

by under READ on Nov 28th
It takes serious balls to say that you’re starting a band that covers nothing but old video game music and there are very few groups that do it right. This week, I hope to share a few that I listen to on a regular basis and get you to appreciate how awesome the world of gaming music really is.

by under PLAY on May 6th
Who doesn’t love playing classic games on their computer? Sometimes an emulator is all I need on a nice long bus ride, enjoying a relaxing game of Super Mario World or even something like Pokémon Red. Well I’ve recently come across a flash game online that makes the classic Super Mario Brothers even better. Think you could run the game better as Link? Swords are handy against Goombas, afterall.
