Music/Update

So I got KMFDM's first album "Opium 1984" awhile ago. I hadn't said anything or posted a blog in awhile so what the hey, why not talk about it. So far, I think it's the best KMFDM album, pretty calm, nice synth and guitar work. The album is preformed entirely by Sascha Konietzko, Raymond Watts, and Ton Geist. Most of it is instrumental songs, which is pretty cool. What was disappointing (for me) was that the version I got was a re-release so I was expecting a story in the insert about how the band/album came to be. Other than that it kicks total ass, get it.
Also in music news, Combichrist comes out with a new album in January and they have a preview up on their Myspace. It's pretty cool!
Also I'm getting a discount on my next synthesizer at Sam Ash because I found a cheaper price. The synth I'm getting is a Novation Xiosynth. The original price was $300, I'm getting it for $240 and free shipping. I'm going to order it when I get some more money.

Some site updates, like a couple new links, a new poll, and that's it. Nothing Special

Tracker Music

I just now discovered tracker music. It comes in a MOD format so you'll need Winamp to play it. The music is all 8-bit/16-bit music, it's great!
You can check out some great tracker music HERE!
This site also has a link to the Winamp site in case you don't have that. Well there's nothing else I can really say so... enjoy!

Something New

I really need to make a new post and I didn't know what to dedicate this post to so I'll introduce you guys to new stuff!
The first thing is a freeware game called "Warning Forever." It is one of those top down flight shooters, but it has a classic essence to it, it's completely 2D wireframe except the gunfire and explosions which is really cool! It's nothing but Boss battles as well. Each Boss has a new weapon and amount of that weapon making each one cover more of the screen. Here's a screenshot for you all:

You can download it HERE!

Speaking of guns and gunfire here's a new piece of weapon technology that I find super cool! It's an AR Five-Seven. It's like your standard AR-15, but with a lemon twist that makes it so much better than your standard AR-15. It fires a Five-Seven (5.7 x 28mm) round. The magazine, get this, sits atop the front assembly and is in the style of a 50 round P90 magazine. The shells eject from the classic AR-15 magazine port. Unfortunately if you want one of these beauties you will have to pay somewhat far out the ass to get it. One rifle with one magazine (50 rounds) costs $750.

For more information on the rifle go HERE!

Fear (That old show on MTV)

There used to be a show on MTV called Fear in which a bunch of college kids were thrown into scary locations and asked to do a bunch of tasks... at night. My friend and I talked about the show and we realized this was what the entire show was:

Person X gets thrown into "the Hole" for an hour and they're sitting in the dark with the camera trained on them and they were all like, "Oh my god.... *crying* uuuuuuuh.... *scream, cry*." Then they came back to the chapel crying and then they sent some other douche bag (Person Y) into a jail cell to write with the ghosts and then he locked himself in and started screaming and crying and saying, "Why did you lock the door!??!?!!?" When Person Y came back, Person Z was sent on some other stupid task and they were running around like a moron flailing their arms around because they're being chased by a ghost and then they fall down a flight of stairs and at the same time all of this is happening they're screaming and crying and yelling, "OH MY GOD! *scream, cry* STOP! *scream, cry* Leave me alone! *cry, scream* Leave Brittney alone!!!!! *scream, cry, fall down the stairs* WHY DID YOU PUSH ME DOWN THE STAIRS!!!!!!????? *cry, scream*" Then meanwhile back at the chapel Person X and Person Y are sitting there going "Where's Stacy?" and Person Y replies "I 'unno *shrug*." MEANWHILE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS!!!!! Stacy is screaming and crying in her little valley girl pile on the floor. Then she's going "like o-m-g *cry, scream* this like totally sucks *scream, cry* Like o-m-g I'm gonna text Jennifer about this *cry, scream, text, repeat*." Then eventually once Person Z finally got up and realized how much BS the show was she returned to the chapel and they got their prize money of $100,000.
MTV - making people look like idiots!

My review on Mega64 podcast

On the previous Mega64 podcast they had talked about Force Unleashed and I sent in my review. They got my email and they said:
"Alright the next email is from Connor E, he sent in his review of Force Unleashed, but it's about ten pages long so let me abbreviate this for you guys..................... alright 7 out of 10."

First Original Song Uploaded

I just finished my first original song. You can check it out here:

Know this, I made a fatal error when I made it. I recorded vocals first, then the percussion, so I couldn't really do a synth line. Anyways I hope you enjoy it. The song is "Daft Individuals [Rough Demo Mix]"

Changes and What-not

So I changed the poll because no one obviously cared about the subject, so... changed to another music topic.
VOTE!
I added a couple things down at the bottom. The first being weird news, I get a kick out of it. The second is a zombie survival quiz, I'm a zombie-holic.
ENJOY!
New posts on the way too...

Force Unleashed Review

So I was at a friends' house today, he had gotten Force Unleashed, a game the both of us were looking forward to for a LONG time. He had told me how incredible it was when we were at school and I was excited to go play it. So when I started playing I figured out how to move and all that. The first thing that pissed me off was the camera. Good Lord. The right analog stick (PS3 version mind you) controls the camera so if you neglect that analog stick the camera embeds itself in a near by pile of rubble. Even worse is during the boss battles the camera stays in one position and you cannot move it period and when you have a metal titan attacking you you have no idea where you are. Speaking of not knowing where you are the lighting is so dark that I cannot see the main character or the environments a flood light would help. Going back to boss battles, they drag on FOR-EVER. The first boss battle I fought was on the scrap metal planet (or whatever it was) and I must've been playing fighting that Jedi for about a good thirty minutes, then when you are about to kill him you get the "God of War" button sequence finishing moves thing. After that thirty minute boss battle I had my cheek resting in the palm of my hand while my right hand was preforming the button sequence. Here's some B.S. for ya... kind of... in a boss battle I force pushed the boss off a ledge into some deep ass pit no one would survive. I thought, awesome, that was an easy kill, but I was wrong, the Jedi jumps back up onto the cliff unharmed, I pushed her off the cliff about three more times and into another deep pit three more times. By the way, the main character does not seem like a bad ass, he needs a scar across his eye and a deep gravely voice.
But it's not all bad. The story is unique, the level design and puzzle solving is pretty cool too. Except as I got further into the game I ended up avoiding almost every enemy, running past them, to complete my main objective. Using the force to push open, pull open, and destroy doors was pretty cool. Using the force to throw stormtroopers into other stormtroopers was friggin awesome. I also got to throw turrets into stormtroopers and then force push the stormtrooper into a pit. That's where the game excels, your options on how you want to kill someone. It's incredible. Another cool thing about the game is that you can change your costume and lightsaber color any time you want to.
All in all, I'm disappointed. When I saw the Euphoria engine trailer and then the E3 trailer I had high hopes/expectations for this game. Once I played it it just seemed to be Dynasty Warriors with Jedi and Sith. One thing I wished they had done was composed their own music, I'm kind of tired of hearing the same Star Wars scores recycled over and over again. Anyways, onto my score...
I give Force Unleashed a 7 out of 10.

...Jedi Outcast is better than this, believe it or not.

Chill Out (Hadron Collider)

So I'll start this by saying the activation was successful... at like 1AM today. Secondly, if they do create a black hole (which is unlikely) after smashing two atoms together it will have the same mass as those two atoms and the same energy as the two. The black hole would basically be a nanometer wide and with enough energy to support itself for maybe a billionth of a second. So having said that, nothing catastrophic would really happen. Besides that they're also smashing atoms in Aurora (Illinois) and have been doing so for quite sometime, so like I said before...

CHILL OUT!

Send this to your friends so they can chill out as well.

Gore Experiment

So my film-making buddy John and I were experimenting with blood and gore. We used Jello and Hawaiian Punch. Worked out quite well!
