12.15.00 - Gates of Valhalla

"Lo there do I see my father
Lo there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers
Lo there do I see the line of my peopel back to the beginning
Lo they do call to me; they bid me take my place among them
In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever"

13th Warrior anyone? Most excellent movie. I do heartily recommend.

Oh, right. The whole "Can not resolve Hostname" deal. DNS expired. Should be golden now. If you're still having problems and can't reach the server, then you aren't reading this, are you?

And yes, this week's title is in fact a song. A good song. By a good band. If you know who it is, then good on you.

Random Music Reviews The following random reviews are my personal reflections upon the author's work. If you disagree with my views, make sure to let the author know what you think of their pieces! MP3 Remixes "Tribute to Y's 1 & 2" An awesome tribute to the first two Y's adventures. Highly recommended! Midi Composition "Force Your Way" Mikey continues to present us with grand piano arrangements! A lot of time must have gone into this, congrats! "Sounds of Final Fantasy" A great compilation of different songs from various Final Fantasy's. Digital Music "Wind Scene (Freak Mix)" A most exceptional remix of the Overworld music from 600 A.D. The techno bit in the second half was a bit unexpected, but hey, that's what remixes are all about! Dig that! "Chester's Theme" I need to grab a copy of this sometime and see if the game reminds of me Mega Man as well. ;)

Creation Tips This week's Creation Tip comes from Blake Childers. A very good read on the overtones of music creation. Definately check this out! Creativity Tips

Current Competitions While I do have plans for releasing full details of the next RPGamer Music Competition, I have not had time to finalize what exactly I want this to comprise. More to come in the future! Yes, this is the same text you've seen four times now. No, I still haven't had time to write up the full details yet. Sorry! =)

Weekly Silliness The previous week's title comes from none other than the (now defunct) Gods of Grind: Carcass. (I was going to use track #7 from Reek of Putrefaction, but I doubt it would have gone over too well..) Kudos to the following people who sent in the correct answer: Pretzel Eyes With Wounds Gilluin Bluestar Hutta (even though he didn't send me an email. again. lazy!) The above mentioned people rock. =)
