I love chiptunes as much as any person on this site, but this set of works takes the cake. A musician by the name of Quinton Sung recreate two of Radiohead's signature albums, Kid A and OK Computer, in the 8-bit music format. I think he did a great job on both albums, but I found OK Computer to be more entertaining. His use of classic Nintendo sound effects to replace certain instruments is inspired.


Top THAT, Bieber.

I recently read about this blog on Ars Technica and thought I should share it with the CAG community. Created by Ashly Burch of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin', the site posts personal stories submitted by fans about how games had a positive effect on their lives. It's much nicer than the circle jerk of haterade video games usually receive in the media.

Unfortunately, my current home, DC, isn't represented, but I was certainly amused by the selection for my home state, Florida. I also think Cheapy will be pleased with the selection for Michigan. ]]> The Great BM http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=17287 Nice http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=16932 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:48:54 GMT Well, I have been looking to purchase a PS3... ...

I know that the concept of a nerd that showers can by oxymoronic, but I stumbled upon this site and thought it was worth mentioning: GEEKSOAP.



A brilliant young soapmaker by the name of Lesley Karpiuk created a variety of soaps that go beyond the seashells, tuna, or whatever other crap you'd find in your grandmother's powder room. Lesley was gracious enough to turn the stuff we like into stuff we can wash our asses with. I went ahead and posted the SNES cartridge, which is one of six cartridge models offered by the site. GEEKSOAP's collection extends beyond the gaming world, with items from such beloved franchises as TMNT, Doctor Who, and my personal damn favorite...
