VGM remix: Sonic the hedgehog - Spring yard zone

Written by Random J •
I tend to have tunnel vision sometimes when it comes to things I like. The only 2 pieces of music from the first Sonic game I remembered vividly and loved were Green hill zone and Marble zone. Anything other than that, to me; just wasn't worth bothering with. But during my friend and I's fan boy conversation about "sick" video game soundtracks, he brought up Spring yard zone from Sonic the hedgehog. I said I didn't really remember it and that I wasn't fussed about it. Then he played it...and memories of it came rushing back. It was f**king awesome!


I did this remix back in 2006. I played it recently and didn't change a thing. It's one of the few remixes I've done where I've not had this urge to go back and tweak 'n fix anything.

Would Sonic and Yuji Naka approve? I'm sure Sonic would. I doubt he cares. Since when has Sonic cared about quality control. You've played his games lately.

    Finally; a remix from a game I've actually played :D
    I like this remix very much, I would like to hear more remixes of yours from Sonic games more often.
    I do personally love the music from the early Sonic games, I currently have Green Hill Zone as a ringtone on my phone - have done so for the past few months.

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

Written by Random J •
So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Nintendo and the Switch 2 pricing shenanigans

Written by Random J •
I am one of the few people in existence who does not own a Nintendo Switch. Y’all. Even my mum owns a Nintendo Switch. It’s crazy, because I have been with Nintendo through thick and thin and owned near-enough all of their systems. Nintendo has been a constant presence in my life. But the Wii and the Wii U left a sour taste in my mouth which made me apprehensive about buying a Switch. And because I had Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild on Wii U, I had no real incentive to buy a Switch early on. And then there was the Joy-Con drift issue which was a thing from the very beginning. But by the time the Switch had blossomed into this great system with a fantastic library of games, I figured ‘I’ll just get the rumoured Switch Pro when it drops’. Of course I knew this probably wouldn’t be the name, but I was adamant that a revised version of the Switch would release at some point and hopefully Nintendo woulda fixed them damn Joy-Cons. System redesigns mid-way through a console life cycle ha...

Review: Bayonetta | Bullets 'n' booty

Written by Random J •
So, what do you do when a franchise that you loved and created lies in the hands of a company you no longer work for? Easy! You make a game just like it. Except better. With more guns. More bloodshed. More hair. And a contender for the sexiest female character of all time in the lead role who strips naked to kill people. Enter, Bayonetta. Bayonetta is developed by the creator of Devil may cry, and this shows from the start. The button configuration is similar, the way you pull moves off is similar, the styles are similar. It really is a spiritual counter-part to Devil may cry. It's easy to turn your nose up at this, and cast it off as a re-hash, or a regurgitation of what we've had before. (Especially if you hate Devil may cry as much as I do). But Bayonetta is much more. The game seems shallow when you take it at place value and see nothing but half nakedness and open legs in the gameplay footage. But beneath the surface lies a damn good game, which trumps the franchise t...
