The Path,…..Cold Steel, Enchantment, and Cthulhu

A really fun and well done Arthurian/Lovecraftian/Swords and Sorcery web-comic, This would be one hell of an RPG setting! About the Author— bio James Riot was born to unstable parents. They were a happy couple, but were perturbed at the idea of having to raise a child…as it would cut into their favorite game of tricking the local kids into eating their own pets. At 20 months, Riot was learning to speak when a doctor told his family that he seemed to be developmentally delayed and possibly mildly retarded. His father took the opinion to extremes, believing that he was profoundly retarded. He took him to the ocean and threw him in. Rescued from death by the horrible denizens of the undersea city R'lyeh, Riot was raised under the sea: playing amidst the massive slumbering form of Cthulhu. This close proximity was not without incident, however, as when Riot emerged from the bosom of the sea 25 years later, he returned to the world of man with malice in his heart and destruction on his mind. A weapon of the Great Old Ones, tempered at the unfathomable depths of the unforgiving sea.Then he discovered whiskey, moved to southern California, and makes a living doing freelance artwork and drawing comics. He lives in Long Beach with his girlfriend, likes re-reading Lovecraft to the point of insanity, Orange Chicken from Panda Express, and B-grade horror movies. influences Mike Mignola, Matt Wagner, Mike Allred, H.P.

Dark Side of the Moon Patrol – The MOON8 Review

Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most important albums in popular music. With over 45 million copies sold, an unbeatable record 741 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart and the standard by which audiophiles show off their sound systems, it is one of a rare group of albums that truly are required listening. So what happens when you take one of the most legendary recordings of all time and recreate it in the chiptunes style? Come inside and take a listen. You may just be surprised. Now I am a huge chiptunes fan, but when it comes to these kinds of recordings, they really have to be done right to be listenable beyond mere curiosity. Not only does MOON8 sound good, it transcends sounding like music done for a video game. Sure, the tones are undeniably old-school NES, but nothing has been done to tweak the music to sound like it actually came from a game. This is a chiptunes recreation in its purest sense. What I find truly stunning about MOON8 is just how much effort has gone into the recreation of nearly all of Pink Floyd’s instrumentation. This is obviously not something that was cranked out in a weekend to say “hey, look what I can do.” The music is a labor of love, for both the source material and style in which it has been recreated. I was skeptical before hearing them, and then completely blown away by, how well the explosion of clock chimes at the beginning of “Time” and the cash register opening of “Money ” were done. Both pieces precisely capture the spirit of the originals in the chiptune style. Frankly, it’s pretty mind blowing how good the whole album sounds. The pulsing analog synths of “On the Run” sound frighteningly close to the original and the bleep-creations of Clare Torry’s vocalizations in “The Great Gig in the Sky” are spot on. It makes me wish LA’s Laserium hadn’t recently shut down (again) because replacing their regular DSOTM laser-show with this music for one night would be beyond cool to see.

Review: Resonance of Fate

Sega presents Resonance of Fate , a new JRPG from Tri-Ace. It’s a role-playing experience that swaps swordfighting for gunplay, and it’s designed from the ground-up for hardcore fans of the genre. Jason D’Aprile has logged in dozens of hours on it, but according to him, it wasn’t necessarily time well-spent. Here’s why: “On the surface, Resonance of Fate offers up a veritable smorgasbord of destructive possibilities. It is an RPG focused entirely on acrobatic gunplay where you upgrade and level up your weapons
