The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess videos
Gamespot has some new videos from the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Scroll down to the “Gameplay video” section. The game looks amazing, but watching the video, it doesn’t look like gameplay has changed much from . On one hand, that’s a good thing. But on the other hand, couldn’t at least some of Link’s grunts and the incidental sounds have been changed? I’m hoping that not much of the music from Ocarina of Time is reused (as opposed to both Majora’s Mask and The Wind Waker). Yes,Ocarina of Time’s music was amazing. But it was also uniquely Ocarina of Time. Reusing it is a slight against the new game.
Indy Custom Radio for Linux
Posted by Biffster in Debian/Linux, Digital music on May 18th, 2005
Indy Custom Radio is now available for Linux! Well, sorta.The Indy team actually released a pure Java version of Indy, which will run on any OS which supports Java 1.4+. Linux is one of those OS’s, so Indy now works in Linux.
Of course, this is all semantics. The important thing is that this experiment in collaborative filtering for independent music is now available for Linux users. To me, this seems like a no brainer. Linux users tend to be more open-minded about everything, including music. Indie music should fit in well. Hopefully, a large number of Linux users will find and adopt Indy. Hey, maybe we can actually get the Indy team to do a native Linux version!
