Music Feature - December 2023

I know I wrote that title as if I do this every month, which I don’t, but I may do more in the future!

Anyway, I wanted to share some music!

Here’s a fun little dubstep-y Vectorman remix by Tickle Whiskers on soundcloud! It’s also free to download.

This track is mysterious and a bit whimsical feeling, a quiet little tune from the series of Broken Notes Albums, which are inspired by the Silent Hill Series. All broken notes albums are free to download, too!

Some great angry metal music from the band “Spite”. I recently bought an album from these guys.

Never played cyberpunk, but it’s got some great music! Some of the game’s rap songs are typical shitty sexist crap, but you can find some great electronic stuff like this.

Slipknot’s pretty well known, but if you haven’t heard this track yet, it’s a good one! I dig that intro, which sounds to be a mocking clip of some conservative buzzkill complaining about good music. Great creepy lyrics too, sung from the perspective of an infectious virus.

And now for another big tonal change! (My wife describes my music tastes as eclectic, I have to agree)

Sol Deace is a beloved game from my childhood and I always found the soundtrack beautiful and a bit haunting at times. Listening to this song, I always imagined someone having a fight to the death om the middle of a street during a snowstorm.

And lastly for this post, some great DarkSynth music by artist SurgeryHead. I’m still grateful to Hotline Miami for introducing me to such cool musical genres.

Dead Space (Xbox 360) Review

Dead Space is a survival horror game set in - you guessed it - space! Specifically, the USG Ishimura. You'll follow protagonist Isaac Clarke as what started as a an attempt to fix up a spacecraft turns into an wonderful example of "everything that can go wrong definitely will". The story takes several twists and turns and you'll even get to venture beyond the game's central location a few times! As usual, I won't go too deep into the story because I'd like you to be able to experience it for yourself if you've never played the game! I quite it enjoyed it though, and the game created a good sense of isolated fear while also making me concerned for the safety of Isaac's few surviving crew-mates throughout the game. The combat is very intense as most of the creatures you'll encounter move in a very violent and erratic manners, and you'll want to target their weak points - usually the limbs. Thankfully, the game has a cool upgra...

Artist Spotlights - Natalia Trepenok

Natalia Trepenok is artist who makes wonderful animal art for story books. I recall seeing some painted murals in the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that even reminds me of her work!

The Stanley Parable (Steam 2015 PC) Review (Old)

This one is highly recommended! you take control of Stanley, and set out to discover what is happening at your office, with the trusty narrator at your side. Things get interesting when you realize that you can screw around in all sorts of ways, resulting in anything from a happy ending to surreal hilarity to your own tragic demise. Your narrator will do his best to help you along, but he can also only take so much of your bumbling... Pros Brilliant voice acting Hilarious, clever, brutally honest narration Well-made visuals and audio, highly immersive The Adventure Line! The demo is actually an entirely separate story of its own. that's pretty awesome. Give it a try too! Cons None that I can think of, unless you count running out of endings to discover. 2023 Additions: Since I wrote this review, the game has received updates and even been ported to Xbox One! So thankfully, you are no longer restricted to steam for playing this great little game. Someday, I want to sit d...
