Behold... My ORIGINAL Sonic the hedgehog soundtrack!! *fireworks pop off*

Written by Random J •
Ages and ages ago during a period of my life when I used to update this blog daily as though it was my full time occupation, I had posted bits here and there of something I was working on. This 'thing' was never something I planned to do. It kinda just happened. I was in the midst of composing something and as I was working on it I thought to myself "This sounds very Sonic like..." So I finished the piece with Sonic clearly in mind; then all of these ideas for zones and sounds were running through my mind. And before I knew it I was actively creating an original soundtrack for the world's most famous anthropomorphic hedgehog.

Sonic has some fucking awful games in his gameography. But the one thing which never falters with any of the games is the soundtrack. Each very distinct in it's own way. Yet despite being helmed by different composers, there is always an over arcing sound which you can only describe as 'Sonic like'. I tried to draw on that for this soundtrack. Although in all honesty I didn't think too much about it as I worked on any of the music.

This soundtrack of mine has been on YouTube for YAARRS and YAARRS. But I recently set up a bandcamp account, as it seemed to be the easiest and most productive way to share this soundtrack as a whole. And it also enabled me to embed a nifty little player which allows you to listen to DA WHOLE DAMN TING!!


If enough of you say you like it and would like to download it, then I'll make it available for download. SEGA. HOLLA AT ME! Toss me dolla please.

    I am super late a hearing this, but this is awesome! I felt inspired to try to find the broken pieces of my old Sega so that I could mute the audio while I played Sonic and got my game on. I also felt the odd urge to break out in a twerk. Funny since I wasn't born with the ability to shake my a** at Sonic like speeds. I need a download of this in my life.

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...

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...

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

Written by Random J •
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.
