Island In The Sun

Do the 8-bit (or surely it was 16 or 32 by then) beeps of the Super Nintendo era games make your rivers flow in your pleasure centres? Does Weezer have just enough pop referenced grunge to make the blood in your veins turn angsty? Then the Pterodactyl Squad and the following link: http://www.ptesquad.com/more/pte018.html are for you. Seriously, these cool dudes have remixed some of Weezer's top stuff (except for Beverly Hills, where was Beverly Hills??) into game beeps that will have your childhood jizzing it's irreverently patterned overalls. My favourite is Island In The Sun. The Castlevania-esque fake out lifts my heart everytime.

Hilariously enough, I have never been, nor will be, that into games. I play the cutesy ones I used to when I was kid, like MarioKart, Yoshi's Island and Harvest Moon, but I haven't finished a single save since before I had boobs, so, issue. The most I know about games is stuff my exes used to play. Thats not to say I don't like games, I do, I actually used to enjoy watching them play and tune in for the storyline bits. Hell, even now I look up the storylines. Lame. Its still nostalgia though. Its only an issue because I like my gentlemen gently nerdy. One day I hope to find a nerd gently into music as well.

Maybe I should attempt finishing one of my saves one day. I'm half way through my childhood anyway.
