Random things.
It’s once again time for music. And let’s start off with some 90s cyberpunk with Syndicate.
Simple in its structure, but oh so awesome. Futuristic, hard, and ominous. With this introductory tune, you are about to be thrown into a cyberpunk world full of strife and mind melting.
Continue reading “Food for the Soul (gamer style) – Volume Three”I do not usually do straight-up promotions for products, but seeing how cool this project is, I just had to. It’s a futuristic RPG/Survival Horror, as gritty as my egg-sandwiches with bacon, and oh boy does it look good. Check the video down below for some rusty space tunnel trudging.
Let us continue the relaxing with some additional great tunes from the gaming world.
Fallout got many iconic songs, but one that always stood out to me is Metallic Monks (Lost Hills).
If you listen closely you hear it tell the story of the world of Fallout. Marching boots, an air-raid alarm, and a combination of the droning wasteland -esque music it makes for an awesome tune, and a piece of great storytelling.

I, like many others, am patiently waiting for Tempest Rising since it looks like a nice shot at doing a revival for the RTS genre. But who is even making this game?

In a rather surprising move, the team behind Jagged Alliance 3 got the original designer (Ian Currie) of the Jagged Alliance game onboard. Going by the video released concerning this, he sure says all the right things, and it got me more excited than I used to be for this game. However, it’s unfortunately not a recipe for success as seen before with games like Phoenix Point with Julian Gollop at the helm. To be honest, it all has become a bit of a meme, especially for us that took part in the RPG Kickstarter revival. Still cool, though, and another interesting thing is that the lead designer seems to play and like Jagged Alliance 2 if you go by the video. He mentions he plays and finishes it at least once per year, so hopefully, his love for the game translates over to the sequel.
