Free Ghostbusters Game Sound Effects

To promote the new Ghostbusters game, they're giving away free Ghostbusters sound effects .wav files. There's a proton pack blast, a PKE meter, and two Marshmallow Man roars. Reminds me of 90s-era IRC, when everyone played their favorite/sound clips. I even had a Babylon 5 computer voice rigged up to my FTP program: "Transfer of data complete."

Oh man, I am such a nerd.

There's a new Level Up - Video Game RPG Podcast online. This time it's about a subject dear to me: RPG Sidekicks. Yes, we cover all the delightful weirdos that have nothing better to do than find a brave young knight and his lady fair and then glom onto them for the rest of the game.

Episode 006: RPG Sidekicks
Warning: this is a we-hate-Yuffie zone. Yuffie fans, prepare your tear drop anime emoticons. ;_;

New Level Up RPG Podcast - MMORPGs Part 2: The Quickening

Level Up - The Weekly Video Game RPG Podcast has been updated. We discuss our favorite MMORPG moments (Googleshng loses his pants, while I was lured into the woods by a creepy foreigner), recommend MMORPGs for beginners, and talk about the games we would, in no way, recommend for anyone other than ironic consumers and digital masochists. (Not that they aren't all in Second Life, anyway.) Plus, Silkenray totally spoils Forumwarz, and it's all good. All that and more more more, in! Episode 004 – MMORPGs Part 2.

The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull (or, There's No Such Thing As Bad Publicity)

eMusic trials are fun. 50 mp3s, plus an audiobook? I'm there, dude.

The dirty trick is to hand pick singles or find albums with really low track counts. I love They Might Be Giants, but I'm not going to blow half my downloads on a single 23 song album.

So, there's this album called The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull. I previewed a track and immediately liked what I heard. Slow, heavy, southwestern rock, with no lyrics.

Let me put it this way: When you walk into a room, and everyone turns to see who's standing in the doorway, this is the kind of music you want playing.

Just out of curiosity, I checked out Amazon's reader reviews. Skimming down, the lowest review (3/5) I could find caught my eye:

"Sounds like a score to a post-apocalyptic western"

It just goes to show that however ambivalent or negative a review may be, it can still -- sometimes accidentally -- help people decide to buy the product. That "average" review sold me on it more than the five-star gushers. Any time I play this album for my friends, I'm introducing it as "post-apocolyptic western music."
