VGM remix: Sonic the hedgehog - Spring yard zone

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.

  1. 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”.

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

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...

Game Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake | The Real Housewives of Avalanche

So, originally I had written part of this as a '7 days with Final Fantasy VII Remake' piece, because I had thoughts that I felt compelled to type and share with all 2 people who know of this wasteland of blog. But I was so close to the end and had heard 'whispers' about the ending to this game, so figured I should just complete the damn thing so I can talk about all the things. And now here I am. Ready to talk about it all. This Review will be chock-a-block full of spoilers. So if you've not played the game yet, then read on at your own risk.
