    So I heard there was a remastered version of the Ducktales games for the NES, with a remastered soundtrack as well. Given that Ducktales has some of the best 8-bit music ever, I listened to some of them, and wow, the composer did a good job modernizing them. The theme for The Moon is brilliant, and it lives up to all the hype it probably got. Don't believe me? Listen to it.

    I'm also a fan of the remixed Transylvania theme. Be warned, it contains minor dubstep.

    Everyone, you probably don't know this, but my friend here Sybre has an OTC comic series going on called Sonic: Pure Chaos.
     
    It's an original plot with fan-characters, and I think it holds a lot of promise, so I'm putting this on my blog as an attempt to get his series more exposure, as he could use the comments and(constructive)criticism.
     
    Thank you for reading this entry, and I suggest you give the series a go!

    So how do you guys feel about third-party accessories for game consoles? Me, I'm perfectly okay with using them. I know third-party accessories are notorius for being of poor quality, my experience with them has not been bad.
     
    My first experience was buying a Dreamgear Wiimote Charging Dock. I really did not like using regular batteries, which is why I bought the product. It actually worked pretty well for a couple of years, providing enough power for what I did, but probably not for marathon runs through games. However, it recently stopped holding a charge for very long, which for four years and twenty bucks, was an okay deal. I bought an Energizer Charging Station to replace it, and so far my previous statements on the Dreamgear charger are still applicable.
     
    I also recently purchased a pair of Nyko Wiimote and Nunchuck alternatives, the Wand+ and Kama. Aesthetically, I like how the Wand+ had a very nice satin coating, which made it very smooth and pleasant to the touch. It also had larger buttons than the stock Wiimote, which it also nice. However, if I have one complaint, it's that the D-pad is mushier and clunkier than the original Wiimote. Overall, the Wand+ is a decent alternative to the Wiimote, though not without it's flaws. For the Kama, I'll just get this out of the way, I prefer MUCH more than Nintendo's Nunchuck. First of all, it's larger, meaning I have a better grip on it than I did on the Nunchuck. The C and Z buttons are also much larger, and the Z button now has and extended back like that of a trigger. Overall, the Kama is a much better experience than the Nunchuck in my eyes.
     
    So yeah, that's my experiences with buying third-party gaming accessories. Feel free to share your experiences or comment about anything in this post.

    Songs of the Moment

    By JiMing,

    This... It's just so catchy and energetic. The vocals in the back really add to the song, and the melody itself is wonderfully composed.
     

     
    This song is very subdued and slow, yet it has a trance-like effect which immerses me into the melody itself. I love it when a song does that. Oh, and the violin part is absolutely beautiful...
