Master TF2 Spy

Best gaming video I’ve seen in a long time:

Maybe this technique is old news to you, but I’ve always been terrible at playing the spy, so watching so smooth an operator is such a joy. Team Fortress 2 is such a work of art. And these kinds of master players are clearly artists themselves. Brilliant.

Weekly Music Tip: Light in August

While there’s still some days left in August…
As fate would have it, two of my favorite ambient releases from last year are both titled around the theme of the Light in August.
The first release, by composer Danny Norbury, is drop-dead gorgeous. Massive recommendation, my favorite album of 2009:

Weekly Music Tip: Mogwai’s Special Moves

A stunning rendition of Mogwai’s legendary “2 Rights Make 1 Wrong”, off the band’s new live album, Special Moves:

The archetypal post-rock anthem. Highest possible recommendations!
Boy do I have fond memories seeing Mogwai live at the Fillmore in San Francisco, in 2004-ish. Go see them live, if you ever get the chance. And you may want [...]

The whole album, by Mental Abstrato, is really stellar. If you like your [...]

Bernie has been hard at work on his upcoming PSP game, Where Is My Heart?
He’s just released four “mini-trailers” to tease some of the new features he’s been working on. Here’s my favorite one:

I’ve been lucky enough to try the new build here at the office. The new rotation mechanic is very satisfying to play [...]

Weekly Music Tip: Into the 90s, Summer Evening

Here’s a perfect beat for hot summer nights in the city:

That’s Photek, all the way back from 1994. Man, it brings back memories. I’ve had this beat on repeat as I sit here and try to get some work done.
Coldcut picks up on this same beat on his legendary 70 Minutes of Madness mix. He [...]
