Video Game Theme Song Covers

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

I don’t usually post about music or interesting bands here, but I figured that I make an exception for these guys. Mike from freeindie.com emailed me today letting me know about The Kode. It is a band which specializes in making covers for old SNES era video game theme songs.

After checking out out their rendition of Super Mario or Mega Man I have to admit they are pretty good. You can download their album for free at the Free Indie site.

But I must say this - using a myspace profile as your official website is incredibly lame and retarded.

Upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.5

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

This morning I decided to upgrade my wordpress version to 2.0.5. The whole thing went smoothly, but several of the plugins which require you to actually edit some of the Wordpress files broke. I think I fixed all of them, but if you notice any glitches, please let me know.

Also, my stylesheet was reset to the default version. I restored most of the custom styles that I added over time, but if something looks weird please post a comment in this post and I’ll fix it ASAP.

The Hobbit Hollywood Style

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

Recently I mentioned that Peter Jackson will not be doing The Hobbit. Today User Friendly has posted a brilliant comic accurately capturing my worst fears regarding that movie:

I think I would have to kill myself if this movie would see the light of day. This is of course the unrealistic worst-case scenario… But you know that without PJ this might likely be the general direction where the production is heading. Sigh…
