Welcome back to Monday, this means of course that it’s the first day of a new series of Morning Cup o’ Music. This week’s theme is brought to you buy ME! I will be playing five of my top favorites from my video game soundtrack collection this week.
First up, I’m going to start with one of the best pieces of 16-bit music I’ve ever heard from Secret of Mana. This game…I have trouble putting into words how I truly feel about it. It’s honestly my favorite game of all time hands down.
I love all the Square Soft classics, but for me…much of my pre-teen years were spent wandering around the world from this game, and whenever I hear this track, I’m immediately put back into that mindset and I’m a child again. Here’s “Into the Thick of it” from the game’s OST by Hiroki Kikuta.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
