oh hey, baseball's back

good of a time as any to say: fuck the yankees

If I told you there was a soundtrack album based on the game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," what would you think it would be?

@settinger designed and printed a comic sans typewriter ball so we're testing it on my IBM selectric this afternoon and it totally does work!

guys always love to telling people about" Machine Learning"
but they do not care of, "Machine Yearning"

New on Patreon: It's Black Ops, a mod for Half-Life.

I talk about this mod released in a post-Half-Life 2 world, and the two (TWO!) variations that exist, one of which is a callback to a HL1 mod I covered years ago.

Check it out here, for all patrons: patreon.com/posts/blackops-for

I am now listening to Who Wants to be A Millionaire: The Album.

It's a bunch of songs themed after the show, with a techno song about the show, Regis Philbin singing, and a techno remix of the freakin' Millionaire theme.

and each track is bookended by music and dialogue from the show.

Yep this is gonna be article material

after posting these toots, I tried to find the re-record of Tommy Tutone's 867-5309/Jenny that Rock Band 3 used, but with no success

honestly I feel like I could write more about this because I can't be the only one who finds this fascinating

Show thread

this is especially interesting during the Guitar Hero/Rock Band music game boom, where oftentimes they'd just use a re-record because the original studio masters were unavailable or lost.

it's a fascinating rabbit hole to get lost in, tbh

Show thread

will never not be fascinated by bands that like, re-record their old hits with the band's current lineup.

it's a case where it feels *close* to what you remember hearing but still feels off in some way.

watching baseball with friends.

come for the baseball, stay for the oddball trivia and bizarre US commercials
