Aersia

Hey, take a break from watching Star Warz for the 12th time in a row, I've got something to say!

Anyway, it's that time of the year again, one of only two birthdays I can actually remember! It's been 7 years since the VIP was first created. That's an incredibly long time in Internet years, and it still looks exactly as it did after all these years. Hell, YouTube looked like THIS around the time when the playlist was released. I guess...

Aside from the smoothest of jazz, the most powerful of metal, and the most epic of orchestrals, I've always loved the most melodic of Celtic music. I was going to do an update on games with monsters and stuff, seeing as it's Halloween and all, but I decided to forego that notion and do a Celtic update instead("Celtober" sounds pretty catchy). Besides, Halloween has Celtic roots, so it makes a great deal of sense.

• Let's start off with a semi-obscure game called Cladun, a dungeon crawler for the PSP with a sequel on Steam. Much of this game was composed by Yoh Ohyama. He may be pretty unknown, but he's...

Whoa, the Mellow updates are becoming almost like a yearly thing. I'll try to make that not happen.

This update comes to us from a Japanese duo known as GENTLE LOVE, which is comprised of Norihiko Hibino and Ayaki Saito. Norihiko has composed works for loads of games, some of them being the Metal Gear Solid series, the Zone of the Enders series, and even the Bayonetta series. Ayaki has contributed towards some Etrian Odyssey games. Together, they make some painfully slow and jazzy pieces. These are just some tracks from their Prescription for Sleep albums.

As every gamer already knows, Satoru Iwata died last week and was funeralized just recently. I'm not gonna write a whole eulogy right here, as I'm a man of few words; and the words that come out might be a jumbled mess. I will say, however, that he was a glorious programmer who managed to rescue, from seemingly impossible hurdles, some of my favorite games from my childhood. Without him, Kirby, EarthBound, and Pokemon G/S wouldn't have been the same. They probably would not have even existed. So I thank him for that. I...

Forgive me, Aersia, for I have sinned. It has been 3 months since my last update. For my reconciliation, I will do 3 updates this month. I don't think I've ever gone this long without an update. Spring and summer are my laziest seasons. It has something to do with allergies and heat. I got incredibly lazy this season. So no, I'm not dead. If I were dead, someone would've taken my place, probably a son that has yet to be born from a mother I've yet to find.

Speaking of death, last month on June 2, a great composer known as Kirill Pokrovsky had died of unknown causes at the age of 53. Upon hearing this news, my heart sulked. Kirill is best known as the composer to every Divinity game. He was a brilliant pianist who liked to play as much as he could. He's also a literal rock god.

Here's a piano concert:


The Kickstarter party stream for Divinity: Original Sin was and still is the best countdown...
