Throw Them Horns

Rocked out for a bit in DOOM tonight to the new bangin’ soundtrack they included. Really enjoyed listening to E1M4 (Kitchen Ace). Totally made it worth the replay! I’ve stopped on E1M6 for tonight so that I can rest and do the adulting thing tomorrow. Have an early morning of work, then some more work when I get home with video prep and the like… unless one of my friends drags me into the many worlds of resonite again. That seems to be a reoccurring trend lately.

The Music Of Yakuza

I’ve been listening to songs from the different Yakuza games while working (slowly) on the ending for the Like a Dragon vid. I can’t decide who’s rendition of Machine Gun Kiss I like better, Adachi or Kiryu.

I like both, though Adachi’s rendition has more feeling to it, especially at the very end. It’s also funny because his voice actor in Japanese is the same one who plays Solid Snake. Now I can’t help but imagine what it’d be like for Solid Snake to bust out those dummy thicc notes. 😛

What is this fair use you speak of?

You know YouTube’s copyright takedowns are bad when newly released games start to include the following option:

copyright

I never thought I’d see the day when a game (and possibly more to come) would basically kneel before Google and the music industry to prevent potential copyright takedowns to those who may choose to show off their gameplay. We have fair use laws and Google lets these bigger industries trample all over them day in and day out. Things like this won’t fix the problems, it’ll only feed them.

I want someone to create a website for generic music, and the music on the site would consist of copyrighted songs being played by other musicians backwards with different lyrics JUST to piss off the big bad music industry. Naturally they should start with Metallica’s songs, it would be such poetic justice. :v
