   Nobuo Uematsu has a band!!! Geeks rejoice!
A few days ago, my friend Caru hands me this burned CD. It says on the front: "Nobuo Uematsu: BLACK MAGES". Instantly recognizing the awesomeness that is Nobu, I popped it into my CD player. And as I said, Nobuo Uematsu, the man responsible for the beautiful, cool, etc music in most of the Fianl Fantasy games, has his own band. Ironically, he named it "Black Mages". :D Humor.

All of the music is from Final Fantasy games. What's great about it is that the songs are done in rock-ish styleness. It sounds great, and it's really enteraining (and creepy) when you hear a song and instantly attach it to a certain character, game, or battle sequence. Just don't start ranting about the sonic awesomeness that is Nobu around people who don't play Final Fantasy, or are just "too cool" to do so. You'll only be wasting your breath and time.

In other news, I've managed to borrow the latest Dynasty Warriors game from a friend, and all I can say is: GOOD GAMING. I've played Dynasty Warriors demos before, but I had no idea the games were that good. There is only one complaint I have with this game: The multiplayer screens have, from game to game, remained the same. That is to say, too small. But the game in and of itself is insanely awesome. Which is another reason why I can't wait for Samurai Warriors, which is Dynasty Warriors... with samurai. Go figure. Oh, and the obligatory ninjas/kunoichi. Must buy!

A final complaint: Why is it that my school's internet filtering program is such a piece of crap? It has everything related to the Otaku domain (including this blog) blocked under the reason?=GAME category, whereas the site for X-Play (a video-game-only show on TechTV) is not blocked out. Not that it should, but neither should Otaku. And it's also got John Maddox blocked out (properly under reason?=OBSC ). Snap.

Itte ki masu. And join my boards! Debate Here!!!
