Kefka’s Theme

By Iain 25 September 2014VideogamesNo Comments

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_gkOZ1M0xI This is a remix of Kefka's Theme from Final Fantasy VI. Don't you tend to find that chip-tunes tend to work better as electro remixes? This is some skanky dubstep right here, lots of drops and distortion, love it.

A new approach to updates

By Iain 12 September 2014Music, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments

I've decided to take a new approach to these weekly updates. I like the idea of doing an update once a week on a set day, so that aspect is staying. The whole "Friday update" thing is getting old - it's quite boring to look down the recent posts and basically see the words "Friday" and "update" repeated twenty times.…

Happy 25th Gameboy-day!

By Iain 21 April 2014Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

So, the GameBoy is 25 years old today, what a way to make me feel old. I remember when I got my first Gameboy - although I can't pinpoint the exact dates, I roughly know the period. I had left school, and finished college, it must have been between me working at House of Toys in Debenhams and going back…

Final Fantasy X-2 review

By Iain 28 February 2010Internet, Reviews, VideogamesNo Comments

Again, written for Poopgang. I found the "slices" (as I liked to call them) for this one. For some reason I didn't mind the dithering caused by saving them as gifs. Format: Playstation 2 Developer: Square Enix Publisher: Electronic Arts Release: February 2004 Final Fantasy. One of the oldest videogame franchises that still has that special something. The series began…
