Minilyrics...

If any of you out there are like me and sing along to every song on your playlist no matter if you can hit most of the notes well I think you'll like this lovely plug-in.

http://www.crintsoft.com/

I use it with WMP and I have to put it on after every format without fail.

So it basically allows you to do other things while the lyrics of the song pop up in time with the music. The way the lyrics show are highly customisable.

Lately I have been uploading some apparently lesser known songs to the database like the Suck Soundtrack.

Anyway I urge you to have a go as it is completely free :)

Peace.


P.S. Can't believe I had to upload Newton Faulkner lyrics. Really??

Completely Unrelated.

QUICK REVIEW: Scott Pilgrim vs The World

Okay, let me set the scene.

You are sitting in a comfortable chair in a dimly lit room with dark figures surrounding you. The figure appear to be ignoring you. You look forward an see a large blank screen. There also seems to be music in the air. Oh, it's Abba. That's awful, ignore it.

You see a few a small lights where some of the faceless figures appear to playing tetris on their phones?!

The lights go out. The phones turn off. You see the Universal logo, it seems a bit more pixelated than normal. Then, you hear this...



That feeling you got just then, the "holy shit this is awesome" stays with you for the

I can't even. 
Seriously.

Not only is the movie outstanding on it's own two feet but Shaun of the Dead Edgar Wright brought that comic series to movie in a way no one else could have. All the little details kept the same, it was truly a masterpiece. His passion and understanding of the genre shone through in every frame.

My favourite parts for me were the fight scenes most definitely. So beautifully choreographed I couldn't look away to the find the popcorn I dropped in awe! The in-jokes come a close second. This movie made me feel like being a nerd was cool! Games really bring people together so thank you Bryan Lee O'Malley


I hope by now that everyone who would appreciate fully it has already seen it. I can't wait to get the DVD and I have to have that soundtrack!

9/10

Bootsale!

Morning all!

I am having a massive clear out of games, parts and DVDs among other things hoping to make a bit of money.

The Humble Indie Bundle!

6 DAYS LEFT

THE HUMBLE INDIE BUNDLE



Just like an earlier post, another "Pay What You Want" sale is on for indie games!

Sometimes it is nice to chill out and play a non-graphic intense game. Something silly and fun. Indie games are great because they are someones little baby :)

This time instead of one game you get a cute pack! For Windows, Linux and er.. the other one.

Games included:

World of Goo
Fantastically addictive puzzle game. Hilarious too!

Aquaria

Gish

Lugaru HD

Penumbra: Overture
A great horror series is what Penumbra is! This is the first of the three and my favourite! Now I do NOT scare easily when it comes to games, but this bloody freaked me out. It is tense and down right scary. Also, if you buy this pack now, you get a voucher code in the Penumbra files which allows you to purchase all three games in the series for $5 from Frictional Games!

MONEY GOES TO TWO CHARITIES

and thanks to Elvis for pointing this out to me :)

CHECK IT!...you son of a bitch

As you know I have been unemployed for a long time now. Most of the time was due to my studies but now I have no ties. So I am trying something different! I know my main area is Accounts but my love for games is stronger. So I will be pestering all the video game stores in Cardiff with my simplified CV and this attached:



Yeah. I know I look dumb.

But it's different.

QUICK REVIEW: Video Games Live

...was one of the best concerts I have ever been too.

Since we arrived early we had a peek at the merch outside the hall. Selling the usual T-Shirts, Posters and CD's. They had really awesome necklaces there though which glow green via a small LED. Love it.

We got to our seats near the front and even with no one on the stage it's pretty impressive. Orchestra instruments set up and big screens everywhere. Rather intimidating haha.

To inform everyone that the show was to start soon they played a video on the big screens which some of you probably already know:

It's rather chucklesome but not really my thing as it's mainly Anime related. A lot of the crowd loved it but most gamers now seem to be anime fans too. Probably Final Fantasy's fault >:(

Then on rolled the cosplayers in a line ready to be judged for the competition. I unfortunately do not have a camera at the moment so I can't show them to you. There were some good and some half-arsed, but it is Cardiff. My favourites included Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island), guy dressed as Princess Peach (Super Mario Bros) and the four Splicers (Bioshock). Splicers ended up winning :D

A Michael Jackson tribute was then put on. Gamer Style. Followed shortly after by a Ms. Pacman thriller.

The lights went down low and the stage lit up with green. The composer, Jack Wall, came on along with the orchestra (Lucy Morgan) and choir (Cardiff Celtic Voices). Now just a note, every video game piece was introduced by the creator of the game via a video and then a montage usually of game cut-scenes and/or footage while the music plays.

#1 Classic Arcade Medley - Featured a wide range of classics. Everyone was going wild seeing some of the stuff we hadn't seen in years. Rough video here.

#2 Metal Gear - What made this piece extra interesting, was the fact that half way through, when it got intense, a bloke all suited up came onto the stage and skulked around, followed by a cardboard box. The best bit though was when the exclamation mark shot up behind his head along with the sound. Bloody great. A rough video from someone else that night can be found here.

#3 God of War - The choir really knocked this one out of the park. It was bloody beautiful.

Our host Tommy Tallarico then popped out of the cardboard box which was left on stage though the GOW performance and introduced himself. Then we were told someone in the audience was to take part in a competition live on stage to win a desktop arcade machine which had over 5000 classic games on!! A girl was picked from the crowd and she was brought onto the stage and dressed in a very large shirt with the ship from Space Invaders on. She had to be the ship. The game was put up on the screens and she had to beat the first level in 2 minutes. Would have been a piece of cake if not for the immense stress haha. Poor girl almost got it but lost all 5 lives with 2 invaders left :( She did get some consolation prizes though.

We were then treated to a really cute video of Ralph Baer (Father of Video Games) playing ping pong on the television set. I was told it was 1968 but the video here says 1969.

We also got the honour of talking to him live via Skype video! 89 years old now. Such a lovely man.

#4 Kingdom Hearts - Instead was accompanied by original Disney film footage of all the characters that turned up in the games. The video and music was synced beautifully.

#5 Sonic the Hedgehog - Music was always good, should have let the series die a while ago though in my opinion.

#6 Metroid

#7 Legend of Zelda - Got the biggest cheers for this one of course

20 Minute break which allowed me to transfer all of my review notes from my arm to pieces of paper which Dewi pointed out :/ Of course writing on the CIA flyers put on our seats would have been smart. Damn it.

To ensure everyone was back to their seats in time another video was played. This time Nintendo based. Unfortunately I cannot find the video at the moment, but I shall keep looking.

The ringing from the Metal Gear series started and Snake answered. Just rang to introduce our host back onto the stage :P

#8 Starcraft 2 - Video was made up of mostly artwork but some quite good game footage was put in.

#9 World of Warcraft - I am here to appreciate the music, not the "game". I am here to appreciate the music, not the "game". I am here to appreciate the music, not the "game".

#10 Super Mario Bros - The place literally filled with cheering. Everyone loves these games.

#11 Chrono Cross + Trigger - Apparently the most requested video game music for them to play. Tom came on with his electric guitar and rocked it. Jack joined in on acoustic later on. Definitely some damn good music.

Tom asks Jack if the laptop is ready for the next bit. Jack says no way. Tom explains that it's a mac. Crowd understands.

Instead a young man that won an earlier Guitar Hero competition for Video Games Live was pushed on stage and given a guitar controller. Tom explained that if the young man can get over 17500 points on Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion (Hard) then he can walk away with shit loads of stuff including Koji Kondo signed merchandise. The young man simply states that he would prefer expert. Crowd goes wild cheering him on: Expert! Expert! Expert! Tom seems reluctant but allows it.

Now this young man plays like a legend. It was incredible! The orchestra and Tom on his guitar played the song along with the game and halfway through the young man and Tom played back to back rocking out. Fantastic show. He ended up with a score of 300926 and a streak of 509 notes.

#12 Megaman - Tom still had his guitar and was pulling the strangest faces when playing haha!

Jack exclaimed the laptop was ready. Tom excitedly told us that we were going to talk to, live on Skype, the composer of Halo, Marty O'Donnell!

Wait... Connection lost.

N00bs!

Oh well on with the show!

#13 Halo - Tom really out did himself on this one. The solos were amazing! Also at the end of the song Masterchief ran on stage waving a flag. The crowd went mental! Rough video here.

The orchestra and choir stayed on stage while the composers Jack and Tom bowed and left. Obviously waiting for the encore. Of course, Cardiff obliged.

Tom and Jack came back and took their places. Tom changed his guitar to a fantastic looking Spiderman one. He was obviously going to do some seriously shredding now. He asked for everyone to put their phones and whatever tech they had in the air and wave them. Slipped in a comment of "Hold on, the PSP's are still booting". Together we sang/hummed the Super Mario Bros theme which was rather amusing :P

Tom asked us to guess the next games music they were to play.

The company is Square Enix

The composer is Nobuo Uematsu

Everyone yelled "Final Fantasy!!!", well except one guy who yelled "Duke Nukem" lol.

#14 Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel. The video for this amazing piece was made up of cosplay photos. Professional and amazing ones only thankfully. This song is great anyway, but live, it blows your mind. I have never liked any of the series but this piece of music is just too amazing to dislike. Tom was shredding like mad. He obviously loved playing this because he was even head banging with the cellos. Jack even did a creepy close up into the screen which freaked us out haha! Nice touch with the "Cosplay FTW" at the end of the video.

Tom mouths to Jack "One More?", Jack nods. While Jack sets up the next piece Tom take the opportunity to promote their album "Video Games Live Volume 1" and exclaims that this next piece is the last song on that album

#15 Castlevania - Got the crowd involved with this one quite a lot and did a great jump and shred finish on the guitar.

They received a well deserved standing ovation.

I was sad to see them go. However they did do a meet and greet after but I was far too nervous and my arm was covered in ink :P

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEEING THIS IF YOU CAN.

Video games aren't just for kids and they are certainly not to be overlooked. It's culture now bitches and it's here to stay.
