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.

Today Is Not That Day

I notoriously suck at these things. I've got blogs littering the internet like space dust on the Galactica. However, I have set the standard low on this one. I have not set myself a theme or a deadline (insert clever Douglas Adams quote here) and I'm not ashamed to post a picture or two of my cat in the future.

Also, I hate Tumblr. What's the point of a blog if all you are posting are everyone else's thoughts? Its like Facebook late at night, when you are too tired to make a comment, so you just end up liking a million posts, but of course no one is there to know what you are thinking when you like these things and your like is very easily misconstrued.

There have been dramas. So now there is a blog.
