Profile: I'm a longtime gamer, and started playing video games during the transition from the NES to the SNES. Although I like retro games, I play mostly newer games on the 360. Still, my favourite gaming memories are from all-nighters filled with Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Smash Bros. in the late 90s.

I'm looking for a career in public service, politics or other fields where research and writing are critical. Though, the closer it's related to games, the better.

I make videos, animated gifs, podcasts and all kinds of random stuff in my spare time. I'm also trying to develop my own gaming website (details coming eventually).

Systems: NES, Super NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo 64, Wii, Sega Genesis, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, PC, Colecovision (my dad's). Also, many other systems (including arcade) that I not emulate.

Some Favourite Games:
Retro (NES-SNES eta): Megaman 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Sonic 3, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Robotrek, Illusion of Gaia, Megaman X, Lufia 1 and 2, Strider, Metal Slug, Twilight Zone pinball.

Retro Limbo (N64 era): Ogre Battle 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon, Goemon's Great Adventure, Descent: Freespace.

Modern: Halo: Reach, Modern Warfare 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Tales of Vesperia, Fallout 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 1-3, Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam, Hearts of Iron II, Europa Universalis III, Civilization IV.

Music Mind Teasers Vol. 6: And Reversi! Edition! Guncannon | 11:27 AM on 04.09.2010 10 comments

In this Friday feature, I take several pieces of music from different video games and mess them up somehow (like playing in reverse). Your job is to figure out what songs they are and what games they're from. I finally started putting things in a spreadsheet, since it's getting hard to keep track of all the people and scores manually. 1. odber: 9 2. Batthink : 6 3. EnoSachran: 4 4. AlphaDeus: 2 Bulkmailer: 2 vApathyv: 2 5. Anonymouse: 1 Changston: 1 Wryguy: 1 etirflita: 1 Here's the answers to last week's puzzle, and who got each right. The new puzzle format (multiple songs playing simultaneously) went over well, it appears, though I'll try to put in some harder tracks next time I do it that way. #1) "Sky, Land and Minerals": Megaman 2: Air Man, Sonic 2: Emerald Hill Zone, Zelda: A Link to the Past: Overworld. (odber got them all, so he gets a bonus point!) #2) "Battle on Space Highway": Final Fantasy VI: Boss Battle (AlphaDeus), Megaman X: Highway (vApathyv), Space Harrier: Main Theme (AlphaDeus). #3) "Gundam Trinity": First openings of Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam and G Gundam. (Batthink got them all, so a bonus point for you, brah!) As the title for the post indicated, this week it's back to regular reversed tracks. Most of you know the format by now, and there's no particular theme this week. Maybe a couple of them are a bit less known, but usually people surprise me by recognizing them. The tracks run about 30 seconds each. Here are the clues: #1) Easy: FABULOOOOUS STREET! #2) Medium: Really a nozz track. #3) Hard: This is technically a remix, so tell me the game that features this remix (not the original). #4) Hard: Trick of the Earth. #5) WTF: See you later... (Watch this if you didn't get the title and header image reference)
