Here comes a new composer!!





Do u know this woman? No? Well it might surprise u to know that this woman had been around making video music for sum time now. Born October 19, 1967 in Japan, this woman's life has been filled with music. With musical scores for 17 games, including Street Fighter II and Final Fight, she has been given the title of "the most famous female video game composer in the world". From 1993 to 2002 she worked for Squaresoft(now Square Enix), where she composed for a further eight games, including the popular Mana and Kingdom Hearts games. Since then she has worked as a freelance composer, writing for over a dozen titles. Her works have gained a great deal of popularity, and have been performed in multiple video game music concerts, including one, Sinfonia Drammatica"greatest hits" album, and half on the music of a previous concert. Music from several of her games has been published as arranged albums and as piano scores.

U might be wondering by now, who this woman is. Well I'm getting to it. See, this woman has been given the position of chief composer at Square Enix............ ill say that again, this woman has been given the position of chief composer at SQUARE ENIX. Still lost? Ok, Square Enix recently lost its then-composer Masashi Hamauzu this year, and since the great  Nobuo Uematsu had left before him, the company needed sumone with the balls to handle a certain franchise. One by the name of Final Fantasy versus 13. U can say that the music of this upcoming wallet eater has just fallen into the laps of Ms. Yoko Shimomura.

The above theme is set to be FF versus 13's main theme music, and I gotta say, it coaxes emotion from u. It's amazing. It delicious. It's, Yoko Shimomura. May have to upload more music from her soon if I keep getting emotions to grab the kleenex because of this chicks music!! U be the judge.

My impression of MAG






First off, DANNNNG THIS GAME IS SEXY, second why aren't I playing it right now?..... hmm, Idk either, anyway in the video, executive producer of Zipper Interactive(the company that made the game) sits down with GameSpot to go over game basics like the overall theme of the game, how it works and so on. Personally I luv the way the 256 player matches have been broken up so that the chaos is controlled. Graphically the game is good if ur playing in hd, and honestly I don't like the whole sticking with one of the 3 sides of either Valor, Sven or Raven for my entire game experience but sum may object. I guess the whole loyalty to one side schtik actually appeals to ppl. U be the judge.

I likes Mugen



Or more technically known as, sprite battles with beloved characters to the death lol. But as a whole, what u see in the video attached(for thoughs who don't know) is called Mugen. Mugen is a game players dream application on a 2D scale, utilizing tools from a laptop or desktop players can potentially create any kind of scenario their minds can concoct. Whole fan made stories have been crafted and set on YouTube for all to see, sum even rivaling 3D games made by big name developers. U luv Dragonball Z, u luv Street Fighter more? Pit them against each other. What about a Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe prequel, it can be done. With patience and understanding of the programs ull be using, u could go so far as to craft ur own characters and do battle against everyone. Nice. Oh and by the way, this is not my video.
