About Me
-About Me-

As an undergraduate student of Biology, I don't have a lot of time or money to support a gaming addiction, but I still enjoy talking about games and analyzing the sub-culture as a whole. I'm a relative gaming newcomer, having only started seriously following the industry with the advent of the Console Wars between the Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube, but I've been playing Nintendo games nearly all my life. As a result, I'm quite a fangirl for the company, so beware of some bias when I post.

A Critical Ear: Analyzing Music in Video Games

If there's one thing that I like more than talking about video games, it's talking about music in video games. As a classically trained pianist that has been playing for more than twelve years, I take a look at some of my favorite soundtracks and how they contribute to the gaming experience as a whole.

There Will Be Brawl - Episode 7 is out!
SWE3tMadness | 7:46 PM on 08.22.2009 3 comments


Finally, after more than two months of delays, the seventh episode of the web series There Will Be Brawlwas released on The Escapist this Friday.

And holy shit, it is definitely worth the wait. My jaw was open for about the last third of this episode. I can't even imagine how they're going to top this with the final two installments of the series. The plot thickens and our protagonists find themselves launched out of the frying pan and into the fire when they discover more clues regarding the serial killer and the corruption plaguing their own Mushroom Kingdom. New allies and old enemies appear, but will Luigi and his friends be able to save themselves and uncover the truth in time to save what they hold dear?

Unfortunately, that's about all I can say without including MASSIVE SPOILERS in this post. Just enjoy the show and pay some respect to the amount of effort that goes into this project.

If you're not already familiar with the series, watch the whole thing from the beginning first because it's very plot-intensive, and nothing will really make sense if you try to jump in with this episode.
