I found a cd in my room with a free game making program. Score. I should clean up more often. But installation seems to be taking a while. :P
Speaking of games, I really wish I could get Team Fortress 2. I saw it in EB Games once but otherwise it's only available in the Orange Box, which is a bit too expensive for my liking. I also can't wait until the World of Darkness MMORPG comes out~! I'm wary, of course, it being a mmorpg, but WoD is just an awesome roleplaying game and I hope it does turn out well.
I wonder what game soundtracks would be the best? From Final Fantasy, Sephiroth's theme sounded awesome (One Winged Angel) though I don't know how the rest of the music is. Brutal Legend would be best if you're into rock (though even if you don't like that genre of music, I urge you to check the game out--it's from Tim Schafer, who's pretty brilliant, and while I haven't played the game myself it looks nothing less than AWESOME) but beyond that, I don't know. I guess, for the most part, the music is just mood-enhancing, but enough thought goes into some games that the soundtracks would be worth looking into. But idk, I usually don't listen to game soundtracks, I just mentioned this because I was on the subject of games and I like to explore different thought trains...
And Evil Dead the Musical is awesome, by the way. I showed it to one of the music teachers at school and now he wants to adapt "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" for the choir. Bwahaha. It's not the best song there but, my school being a Catholic one, it's probably the only one we could do without getting in trouble. It'll be interesting to see how the choir does this.
- Mood:
contemplative - Music:Look Who's Evil Now, from Evil Dead the Musical
I really, really hope the musical comes to Melbourne sometime. They obviously won't be doing the entire thing, as it goes for two hours, but it would be brilliant to see it done professionally, nonetheless. (Or at all.) It makes me really want to read the book.
I also got the album to The Hunting of the Snark. It's a musical based off Lewis Carrol's poem, of the same name. I don't think many people know about that one, but it reminds me of my childhood. :) I used to listen to it with my best friend, as her mum is heavily into musicals and participates in amateur productions from time to time. I don't think she ever performed this one in particular, though, but the music has charm, for me. Particularly Children of the Sky and Dancing Toward Disaster.
The music is kind of old, though I can't pinpoint the era I suspect it's from. Kind of like Abba, I guess, with all the harmonies and the beat in the background and soft guitar kind of sounds...? But don't trust what I say, because I never listened to Abba. :P And the music changes. The Snooker Song reminds me of those old Australian children songs I learned in primary school.
Enough about musicals. On to alternative music! I haven't got much of their music, but The Weakerthans are pretty good. They wrote a song from the POV of a cat. :D It's so adorable. Plea From a Cat Named Virtue is what got me into their music in the first place. I find it really easy to listen to, although I showed it to a friend and she was bored of it. :P But then, she's an anime freak, and nearly anything not in Japanese or sung by people from Japan is lame to her, so she wasn't the best opinion to get. I should shove the music on to more people. :D
Okay, enough rambling about all that. I should go do my Viscomm homework. :P I'm proud of myself, though, for not ranting about my personal life. Seeing those past entries bugs me, sometimes.
