Dreamfall
Best video game ever? I dunno, I am not such a regular game player. I can only say I am thoroughly impressed that someone has been able to pack such an emotional story into something as “trivial” as a video game. I believe this soundtrack gives you a good indication. I am also very happy … Continue reading
It’s All Over
According to this map the world is already overtaken. I, for one, welcome our new Blackjazz overlords. Ok, this is “PHASE 3″…
