A rabbit hole I've since gone down:

How come nobody's properly documented what PS1, Saturn et al games have Redbook audio?

There's lists dating back as far as 2003, but they're incomplete and/or inaccurate.

Looks like I might have a project idea...

listening to the soundtrack of the Tomb Raider film from 2001 and we're missing out on the days where they'd get a bunch of industrial/electronic artists to contribute some banger tracks

Like, if your soundtrack doesn't have Moby, BT, The Chemical Brothers and Groove Armada, what are you *doing*

something I'm thinking about as I slowly rebuild my music collection to maybe add game music:

do I do what I did last time and sort them into specific playlists

or just throw everything into one big playlist and damn the consequences

New on the Secret Area: It's Quake II RTX.

The 1997 shooter gets a ray-traced makeover. But is it worth playing this over the original, or even the remastered version?

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.

been cleaning out some old books so we can get rid of them, and among all the gardening, home improvement and recipe books, I found a bunch of issues of WIRED magazine from 2008-09, one of which had an article I'm curious to read:

"why the music industry *hates* Guitar Hero"

the bobs... they ache

New Patreon post: It's Quake II RTX.

Quake II, a solid FPS from 1997, decides to get an HDified version in 2019. But is it worth going RTX ON?
