"Real" Zelda Music

I was just looking at the Zelda Reorchestrated site again for new updates and stuff and decided to download the entire soundscapes volume 2, because all of the songs were being shown as new. I didn't realize that the soundscapes are actually the music from the game, but with background noises that make it sound really authentic and interesting. I especially liked Faron woods and the Fishing hole tracks. The sound quality isnow 192kb/s, an upgrade of 32kb/s from 160kb/s...

Meaning it sounds clearer.

If I were you, I would definitely check it out just to see if you like it.

Zelda Reorchestrated Downloads

Wired is Wired!

I got the latest Wired mag and for $10.99 a year its an amazing deal, every article is interesting and really informative, if you get the chance, check out the April 2007 issue. Particularly the cover story and the article titled Mixed Feelings.

Retro... Future?

I found an interesting blog called Paleo-Future, it is a blog talking about people's perception of what the future was going to be about.

There are some really cool articles about sea-cities and futuristic transportation as well as a bunch more articles on similar topics. There are currently 46 articles posted in march alone! So plenty of reading material.

Music!

I'm thinking that I will start listing the different artists that i'm listening to whenever I have enough new ones to talk about.

Right now i'm listening to Hotel Song by Regina Spektor. I like the way she sings, its kind of this carefree singing that forces you to go along with it and be happy at the same time. I listen to it when I go to sleep and it's really nice turned down.

I'm also listening to John Mayer's new album Continuum. Most of his songs are worth listening to however the tracks: The heart of Life, Waiting on the World, Gravity, and Stop this Train are my favourites.

I recently came across a site where you can download all sorts of Zelda music! so I kind of went crazy and downloaded about half of the tracks and some of them are now leading my play count in iTunes. (Wind Waker has some great tracks!)

Juno Reactor's album Labyrinth has been amazing, and I just recently got another of their albums, Shango. I really like some of their songs but others i'm not so into. Highlights are Nitrogen Part 1 & 2, Solaris and Song for Ancestors. Insects has a really great sound to it as well.

Shiny Toy guns, Joe Hisaishi, The Sounds, and Muse are also getting lots of playing time.

Twilight Princess is a Gem

The Legend of Zelda Twilight Pricess is either my favourite or very close to being my favourite game. Every moment of the game is magical somehow. The art, the music, and the overall smooth gameplay really work together flawlessly to deliver one of the greatest videogames of all time.

Get Your Copy Today! lol

No seriously it really is a sweet game all around. I say very close because it gets strong competition from games like Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, LoZ A Link to the Past, Halo, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and a plethora of great games that have been released over the years.

CAD is amazing!

CAD, or ctrl alt del, is a must read series of webcomics that is both funny and quirky. Some would say its a blatent rip off of Penny Arcade, I've just begun to read PA so i can't really comment. CAD does seem to take most of their ideas, but the presentation is totally different. There seems to be an underlining story going on in CAD, if there is one in Penny Arcade it seems like it would be an afterthought, not the core meaning of the series. CAD and PA are very similar but so are many comics in newspapers and they seem to work.

check yesterday's comic for a hilarious wii based comic.
