The Ocarina Of Rhyme

Look at what the Grey Album hath wrought.  This is the cleverly named “Ocarina of Rhyme” which does what you dorks probably think it does, mash-up hip-hop with songs from Legend of Zelda:  Ocarina of time, mixed by Team Teamwork.  I honestly can’t tell you why I like this any more than:

- I like the original hip hop songs and verses
- I like the soundtrack, and it brings back a lot of 6th grade-era memories and warm fuzzy feelings
- The juxtaposition/novelty factor is straight through the roof bonkers

So as we move in to this period of fall, hoodie weather, and hockey season (!!!!!!!), let’s pause and remember the simple things.  Like walking through the Lost Woods and straight sling some yay like they do it in Virginia.  The rustic leave colors really add to the ambiance there.  I’ll be honest with you, most of the songs are just “aight” but…I mean come on!  The Clipse and Zelda!  The fuck?!

So bang this out as your weekend mix, try and find some Triforce pieces in Queensbridge, and come back next week where we’ll discuss how people find new music with this ninnernet thing.  Wait a tick…I think this is even an example!

Halo and its Multiplayer Games

God did I loathe Halo and everything it stood for. It was the flagship game for a new video game system whose controllers my 15-year-old hands could barely wrap around (“lol xbox is huge”) and, most importantly, I sucked at it. Big time. My town, like many others around the country I assume, became a hub of Halo activity. People were bringing over TVs to play, stringing LAN cables from house to house, throwing hours and hours away to this stupid game where a pistol could be used as a sniper from thousands of virtual feet away and had a shotgun that instantly killed people from twenty feet out (something Dick Cheney could only dream of). And while I hated for eight months, my friends got better, so by the time I started playing, the game was awful. Little did I know I would soon fall in love with it.
