Game of Thrones Opening – Metal Edition
78 months ago
How awesome is this cover of the Game of Thrones opening music? It was done by a sound designer, Roger Lima, and posted on his website WhiteNoise Lab. I think it really emphasizes the brutal undertones of the series and it also gives me MAJOR CHILLS every time I hear it! Nice work! \m/ \m/
And here it is set to the actual opening credits:
How much are you loving the show so far? I made a little tribute to Hodor today on Twitter, and the actor (Kristian Nairn) liked it! Kind of made my week.
We’ve also been recapping Game of Thrones on Sword and Laser a lot lately, so check it out!
Playing The Go Game
49 months ago
Despite the cold and the rain (check out my awesome rain boots, huh?) I set out to visit the HQ for the Go Game, a company that specializes in creating team building events and get-togethers. From their website:
The Go Game stages technology-fueled, creative games and activities for team building, marketing programs, sales training and just pure fun. Based in San Francisco, we stage unique, interactive events and scavenger hunts for groups of 3 to 10,000 players anywhere in the world
Joined by some of my friends, including my endlessly patient partner-in-crime Ryan Block, we traveled around the Mission district of San Francisco, completing quests and finding clues. Check out the video to see who was victorious!

I’ll see you in New Vegas!

Remember I mentioned that I was recording voice over for an upcoming game? I’m excited to say that I’ll be voicing not one… not two… but three characters (not all human) in the upcoming DLC for Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues! There will be many more details coming in the next episode of Qore, hopefully out next week, including the names and descriptions of all the characters I’m voicing (none of them are named Felicia… sorry everyone!).
Anyhow, I really excited about it! The whole experience of recording voices for actual characters (and not just being myself) was totally new to me, and I loved it. Thanks especially to Jason Bergman from Bethesda, who helped to set the whole thing up! It’s safe to say that this truly is a dream come true for me.
And no, I don’t have any secret insider info on when the PSN situation will be resolved, but hopefully it’s soon!
Chiptunes with 8-Bit Band ‘The Glowing Stars’
19 months ago
The Glowing Stars are a relatively new band in the 8-bit scene, but they’ve already played a huge show with Anamanaguchi and Peelander-Z at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco! Oh, and they totally rocked it, too. In this episode of Tech Unexpected, I went down to their practice space to talk to them about how they create their video game-inspired tracks, and we even get some samples from Terry Cruze to make a brand new piece of music!
Here’s part of their performance from DNA Lounge!
If you want to download the song we (ok… they) made, called Cruzeratta, click here! They’re also on Twitter too.
