If I can use the word “literally” figurativly, I literally shit all over the room when I saw this video. Someone is actually trying to make a bad-ass Mortal Kombat movie. This short film was released with no credits as a pitch for a reimagined Mortal Kombat film.
I always get a kick out of looking at the waveforms for chiptunes, they always seem to look the way they sound. The old chipsets didn’t have the resolution of modern recording equipment, so the waveforms always come out blocky and sweet like a sprite in a nintendo game. Here’s a shot of the waveform from UP, an off-the-wall-hard-core chiptune track by Spamtron. This track is so intense my volume meter barely even moves it just sits right at the top fucking my earholes open. awesome.
And of course, here’s the track.

It’s off the album D-PAD and is available on Spamtron’s Website
It’s a big day for me, my original song “Run to Japan” that I recorded at Moving Box Studios just got licensed to Armor Games.
Last year, I wrote a fun little asian-inspired song called “Run to Japan”. I recorded it at Moving Box Studios, I hadn’t written music in a while and needed a break from the other studio works I should have probably been doing. I posted it to Newgrounds, the online flash community, and let it be. It was a fun and kind of dorky little beat, I figured someone would probably dig it. I couldn’t help but imagine animation going along with it, the song structure is progressive and it felt like taking a train into a jungle and then running into a japanese city.
It was around march I was contacted by Newgrounds user Jimp who was working on a game called Sushi Cat, he wanted to use the song in his flash game. Fuckin sweet, go for it. I was recently contacted by a rep from Armor Games who was working on porting the game for the iPhone. We worked out a deal and I granted a license. I framed my contract, cause I’m a huge dork. >B]
I ran across this post on GamesRadar today, it’s got a killer collection of mega man art including ALL THE ORIGINAL BOSS ART. It’s totally nutso nerd-tarded (and I definitely downloaded everything to my desktop just now.) Are you geeking out yet?
