Before we get on to the music, I want to say something in regards to the current generation of consoles. I’ve been playing video games for a long time. I remember when I received my first NES when I was a little kid and playing games like Super Mario, Rygar, Paperboy, and other classics. With this history in the subject, I’d like to say that the current battle over the superiority of one system is stupid. Sure, I love the Wii. Sure, I enjoy playing 360. That doesn’t mean I think the PS3 is a piece of shit, though. My own personal misgivings over what I see as a lack of titles for the PS3 at the moment doesn’t make the system itself any better or worse, because in the end a system is only as good as its games. That’s the reason I still play my SNES all the time. In the end, it’s the games that make or break a system, not the specs. No one cares if a system has the latest and greatest hardware or not. They just want to have fun. They don’t care how “revolutionary” motion-sensing controls are if it’s not fun.
While we’re on the subject of the current gen, however, I would like to say that the Red Ring of Death is by far the most gut-wrenching thing I’ve experienced in a long time. Much like the Blue Screen of Death (go Microsoft and your colored indicators of death!), it makes my stomach churn. However, unlike the BSOD, seeing that RROD brings along with it the knowledge that it will be a few weeks before I can enjoy another 360 game. I’m glad that Microsoft has increased their warranties on all the systems, but it’s still annoying to only be able to use your system for a few months before death is imminent. I guess that’s the price you pay for enjoying anything by Microsoft, though.
Today is the letter F. Obviously, Final Fantasy would be included in this list but it seems almost a bit unfair to post music from a series that is already so widely known and block out some other, just as deserving titles. So for the sake of fairness to my collection and your interests, there will be no Final Fantasy posted.
He's simply awesome.
