Obsessions

This being an adult thing sure is rough!
Sorry I haven't updated in quite a while. With long work days, the never ending job that is Parenthood, and all those awesome things in the world that continue to contribute to my severe case of adult A.D.D., I really have been neglecting this blog of mine.
So now that I have a moment to spare, here is a list of the current things that gobble up my free time:

• Instant Noodle Review - I really love imported instant Ramen. It's cheap and really good. This site has made it easy to pick out the good ones when venturing out to the Asian Markets.

• Smodcast - Kevin Smith has a whole network of podcasts that help my workdays fly by. I guarantee you will laugh out loud and your coworkers will think you are crazy.

• Asian Horror Cinema - It's October, usually I get in the mood for Halloween by watching nothing but horror movies, leading up to the big day. This year, they just happen to be mostly Asian flicks.

• Halloween Candy - There is candy and then there is HALLOWEEN CANDY. Those limited time sweets that are only available this time of year. My current Favorites are Pumpkin Spice and Candy Corn Hershey's Kisses.

• Puzzle Quest - I finally gave in to the hype and have been playing the first game on my PSP, and part 2 on PC. This game has a way of making you feel stupid when making the wrong move. I just can't bring myself to stop playing it...

• Minecraft - It looks like crap, it kind of plays like crap, and I really have no idea why I continue to play it. If you haven't played it or even heard of it, go see what all the geeks are talking about.

My Favorite Game Intros

Who can't forget the first time they played Ocarina Of Time?
Firing up the N64. Hearing the galloping of Epona's hoofs as the melancholy, yet beautiful tune begins to play as Link, on steed, rides into the dawn.
It was magic.

Game intros can leave leave a lasting impression on you, whether you realize it or not. First impressions can really be everything. Especially when dealing with that good old feeling of video game euphoria.

Here are some of my favorites...

My Favorite Video Game Music: Genesis Edition

The Sega Genesis. I didn't get one of my own until way later, and when I finally did, a year later our house was robbed and the crooks took off with my SNES and Genesis. Not to mention all the games for both systems. And oh yeah, my Super Gameboy and all my Gameboy games. "Sigh"...so is life.

So my brief time with my own Genesis and the time I had spent with others, has left me with quite a few fond memories of the game music.
Well, there is that and the fact that Sega likes to port their old games over and over again.
And now the best blips and beeps of The Sega Genesis.

My Favorite Video Game Music: 8-Bit Era

Oh the days of my youth.
In a way I have no regrets about never wanting to go outside and play all that much. Of course, I did go out quite a bit before "She" came into my life...
...good ole NES.

Video games in the NES era aren't all brightly colored sprites and princess saving. It takes a lot of talented people to put together a video game. In honor of the men and women who composed the sounds of my childhood, here I'm posting my favorite NES music of the 8-Bit era.
Enjoy!
