Some chiptune tracks from micromusic for today.
The third videogame music episode.
I got seven days of free World of Warcraft time for the pre-release of Mists of Pandaria. I decided to check out the state of the game. It wasn’t as exciting as I remember it. But, I made a field recording of my experience (points) to share.
It should probably be noted that these sounds are recorded from me playing World of Warcraft, and so probably also remain the property of Blizzard. But it’s just for fun anyway, so why should anyone care about the legality? First thing I’ll do when I rule the world: kill all the lawyers. How do you even “own” a “sound,” man? Whoa.
I have been playing the shit out of Realm of the Mad God. So much so that I hear the music in my dreams; music by one Craig Stern. Great shit. By the way, Realm of the Mad God is now on Steam and free to play. beep.

Almost done with 2011 already. Can’t let it go without some sound module (MOD file) music. Thanks to @smaatiboy on Twitter for pointing out Terminal Velocity to me. A classic PC game which, after many hours, has trained me fully in the art and science of space combat — also: Fury3.

Everquest is pretty much the Yin to Ultima Online’s Yang. You can still play both in their old-style, archaic, beautiful madness if you look at Project 1999 and Second Age, respectively.
Rendered from MIDI via FluidSynth, these few songs make a good way to vaguely call back to the last episode while reminding listeners that the feed address is changing, as of December 1st, it will be http://feeds.feedburner.com/4040AD.
