Video Game Music, Waving of Stick Proved Impossible

Check out this amazing new Overclocked Remix of Gitaroo Man’s ‘Legendary Theme’:

(h/t Dante)

When I went searching for the original tune on Youtube (I found it here) I also discovered a great playlist: It’s called ‘Best VGM’ and it’s by a user called ‘SupraDarky’. Nonetheless, it has a number of my favorite songs from across genres and systems.

Indeed, that’s only the *first* playlist. There are several and at least 1000 songs he’s earmarked in total.

To conclude, here is something fun and delicious, or something like that:

Are You a Wizard?

I know what you’re thinking. But the answer may be yes.

Was Merlin Irish? Yes, I think he must have been. [NO BIAS I SWEAR].

Of course, I’m not a believer in the Arthurian mythos, I much prefer, along with Chesterton, to accept the factual and far more awesome St. Alfred. It may just be that I’m not French enough.

There are new memes to be made. Great meme makers of the west, I call upon thee! Ride!

And The Poor Ye Shall Always Have With You

Andy sent me this article:

The Fraying of a Nation’s Decency

An excerpt that sums it up:

Far beyond official Washington, we would seem to be witnessing a fraying of the bonds of empathy, decency, common purpose. It is becoming a country in which people more than disagree. They fail to see each other. They think in types about others, and assume the worst of types not their own.

Firstly, I think the article is not very good. I think it is well written, but it reads like a slot machine that keeps ‘near missing’ on the third seven; it goes just past the mark.

The problem, dear writer, has nothing to do with stereotypes. Stereotypes involve an immediate, intuitive assessment of someone based on predetermined categories. Even our wisdom writers have this to say:

30 A man’s attire(clothing), and excessive laughter, and gait, shew(show) what he is.

But first, a message from our sponsor
