The coolest thing ever happened today when Dj CUTMAN told me he had finished a chiptune remix based on one of my favorite videogames of all time, Power Blazer! Oh sure, he labeled it as “Power BLADE,” but you and I both know what’s really up! I’m in such a grand mood that I also felt like showing off the above Power Blazer art that Ashley Davis was kind enough to make for me. Isn’t she the best, guys? Isn’t Dj CUTMAN the best, too?
