CHECK OUT MY NEW C.D!
This C.D. arrived in my mail box from Amazon today!
It is (as expected) fantastic - I especially love the arrangements of "Not Alone" and "Roses of May" from FF9 - and it got me remembering the trip I took in the middle of 2011, while I was in the midst of blogging retro gaming. I drove all the way up to Sydney and saw the "Distant Worlds" concert at the Opera House with a meet-and-greet afterwards. I still can't believe that I actually got to shake Uematsu's hand! What an honour!
I highly recommend picking up all three "Distant Worlds" C.D.s if you like Final Fantasy music; they are brilliant!

This is just too awesome for words! I have finished Mega Man 3 a gazillion times, but I don't have a fraction of the skills that this guy has!!

SO EXCITED!
This just keeps looking better and better! 31st May can't come quick enough! I just hope they offer a much better battle arena than the last couple of games, which have been pretty darn disappointing. They still haven't bettered the arenas in Mario Kart 64!
Oh, and the counter tells me that I've now hit 60,000 views on this blog! Very exciting news!

THE BIG DELETE
I just deleted all of the files that I'd kept for making the videos off my computer.
Kinda felt like a big deal. That "Retro 2011" folder had been there since late 2010.
I did save it all on to an external hard drive. You never know when you might want a backup. But yeah, it's all gone now. It feels freeing and a little bit sad at the same time. It had to be done.
Meanwhile, I went ahead and bought Donkey Kong Country 5. Holy Mother of Cranky Kong, is this game hard! Retro Studios didn't shy away from the old-school challenge. I thought that the previous game was a bit too cruel, and I was expecting them to backpedal a bit, but I think they've gone in the opposite direction and made it even harder!
I haven't quite decided what I think about that yet. I don't like games to be too EASY, but when you have to spend 15+ lives just to get past a single boss by learning all of its patterns, I begin to wonder when "fun" becomes a "chore."
Speaking of challenge, I haven't yet got all of the stars / stamps / flagpoles in Mario 3D World yet. I'm a bit scared, since I've heard what the final level is like... I still have nightmares about that Grand Master Galaxy in Mario Galaxy 2. By the sounds of it, this is similar. And I don't think I WANT to go through that pain again... We'll see...
What are you playing at the moment?
