Videogame Music Trackers: Sonic 3 - Hydrocity Act 2 by Baleoce

Hideously complicated and yet beautifully simple at the same time. One of my favourite tracks from Sonic 3 thrown into a tracker. If you enjoyed that then check out this sweet 8-bit version.

AeroPress “Ritual” by Sandwich Video

I have one of these marvels. They make super smooth coffee. I went straight to this from instant coffee and the difference is amazing.

I now work in an office full of coffee lovers and we make them in batch using a cafetiere and fresh beans. I now realise why the AeroPress is so highly revered.

Not sure I will ever get to the level of grinding my own beans at home. If you are a tea fan, try this morning tea ritual instead.

There is something undeniably fun about cycling in the rain. You dread it when you leave the house, but once you have done it and gotten to your destination you will look back and realise how warm and comfortable you are now.

Jetpack Joyride by Halfbrick

This excellent game is absolutely free at the moment so go and grab it. It’s super addictive and once you start playing you won’t want to put it down. Once you have grabbed it see if you can beat my score of 5,114. Now go grab it.

FEZ by Disasterpeace

I have a soft spot for video game soundtracks and another good one is about to be released for a nice game called Fez. Sadly I will be unable to play it for quite a while but that doesn’t matter as I can enjoy the soundtrack on Spotify.

You can listen to the whole album above (via Spotify) but if you like it I reccomend you support the artist and buy the album from their Bandcamp page.

Edit: Spotify have removed the album, here is Soundcloud instead.

Salvonic - The Driver (C418 remix)

I’m a sucker for C418’s music ever since I played Minecraft and his music mixed with the addictiveness of a Weebl track is a powerful mix.

This may be the hidden moral of the Mario games. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but I really love this image. The image is by idrawnintendo, which also makes astonishingly nice art.

Something About Us (8-bit Remix) by Dj CUTMAN

One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums, mixed into juicy 8-bit goodness. If you like this then try checking out Daft Punk’s greatest album or a nice little chiptune album called 2008 by She, the Chiptune Superstar track is the best.

While we are on the subject of amazing filmmakers, go and check out the entire range of videos by Freddie Wong. They also invented Rollercoaster Day and I admire them for that too.
