Timely Friday update

Posted inReflections, Site Related, VideogamesNo Comments
Hey, I'm going to do a Friday update on a Friday for a change! I'm in the front room watching Jake while he sleeps rather than writing it in my study as usual, using my video-recoding laptop rather than the familiar keyboard on the main PC... I've never used this keyboard to type before, so I keep missing letters and…
Safe Room Remix

Safe Room Remix

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JuzZPzo6OU This week it's a nice little remix of the Save Room theme from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. The original was quite short and repetitive, and the remix plays with that notion a little, adding a new layer of sounds or changing it up on every subsequent repetition. Created…

Missed the update window again…

So here is an update on a Monday. I went back to work yesterday, which wasn't as bad as I was anticipating. Well, the department was a mess, but it wasn't so bad as to drive me insane. I've started tinkering with Sony Vegas, finally editing this Super Time Force video I've been banging on about since the first RFTV…
Lisa’s Theme

Lisa’s Theme

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nsq5ESIQgc Another week, another remix. This week it is a chilled drum 'n' bass version of Lisa's theme from Silent Hill. It adds a layer of beats under the main theme, and adds extra little flourishes here and there, but doesn't stray too far from the original, which is…

Fatherhood is very distracting

Yeah, so, I missed the Friday update last week. Not that it really matters - not much happened - we went shopping and bought some baby bits and pieces, and basically spent time looking after Jake. YouTube has dried up, RGF has dried up, there are two more VGMRotW scheduled and a few on the waiting list after that (thanks…
Take A Walk

Take A Walk

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. Hello once again. It's time for another random game, and this week it is Take A Walk. Take A Walk kind of combines the time-rewind mechanic of Braid with an auto-runner, but reduces both factors down so it becomes more of an experience than a traditional "game". Sure, there…
Cedar Woods Remix

Cedar Woods Remix

This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85cyCOwBtcU Today's remix is from Breath of Fire III - The Cedar Woods - and it's a really chilled exploration of the original, for sure. BoFIII was praised for it's jazz-infused soundtrack, and you really get a sense of that, even through this remix. Great track. Created by: Iceferno…

That went too quick

That did not seem like a week since the last update. Not at all. But hey, I guess that is the danger now, isn't it? Time will fly. Thing is - I didn't really do much! I got into these Lego Mixels recently - we were selling them at Asda for £1.47 each, so for less than a fiver I…
Pretentious Game 3

Pretentious Game 3

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
This was originally posted on the now-defunct Random Fury! videogame blog. I told you there was more to this series. Pretentious Game 3 is the next game, and it does things a little differently. It does away with most of the extra abilities that were introduced in the second game and focuses on narrative this time around. There are still…
