This is part of my continuing series of playing and reviewing random SNES games I’ve never heard of. Some of these are just quick looks at the game, and may not be too terribly in depth. Today’s game is……Barbie Vacation Adventure! (more…)

C-jeff’s album Electric is an expansive chiptune album that breaks from the realm that many tread in the genre – catchy, percussive, driving, consistent. This isn’t to say that Electric isn’t any of things, because it is all of them. Where this album differs from the majority of the chiptune crowd is that it is primarily a virtuostic performance. Think Garth Brooks versus Brad Paisley. Jeff Buckley versus Jeff Beck. Europe versus White Lion. Anthrax versus Megadeth. The latter in all of these artists or groups contained a supreme soloist, a performer that would step out into the spotlight at center stage and rip out a twelve or twenty bar solo that would both melt and blow away the audience with talent.

I received Dragon Warrior III as a gift back in the days when Nintendo games were still in the stores. I was an absolutely rabid fan of RPG’s at the time (which really hasn’t changed much), and considering how much I loved the previous two installments, I thought Dragon Warrior III could quite possibly be one of the best games ever. Suffice it to say, I wasn’t let down one single iota. There have been a lot of great RPG’s that have been released since Dragon Warrior III came out, but to this day, I believe it is one of the best RPG’s out there. Sit back, and let me tell you why.

From the moment I saw the first preview of this movie, I knew I was probably going to like it. An acoustic version of Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” in the trailer mixed with brilliant and surreal imagery by director Spike Jonze all but sealed it for me. Still, an excellent trailer and a good movie are two different things. And it’s understandable to be cautious on an adaptation of a classic children’s book that basically had no words, and change it into a full fledged movie with considerable characterization and depth to it. But this is a wonderful movie, and easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in ages. (more…)
