Breakpoint 2009 wrap-up Part One

77735Yeah this took me ages… 

Sorry, I am very busy with my real life and cannot commit to post as much as I used to.

But I still guess a lot of the releases on Breakpoint have passed by most people’s noses so here’s a sum up of what I thought was most interesting, on the oldschool/wild categories. Even a month after Breakpoint has ended, you could find a few gems here to enjoy . Hey, it beats reading about a retarded pussy who takes pride in the fact his bicolour hair covers all his face and that he just painted his Gameboy in 32 colours.

So find contained herein a bunch of videos and babble from yours truly!
Part one covers the DEMOS only. part 2 will cover Music and Graphics

HEY NINTENDO!

Thanks for :

  • Continuing to be associated with kitschy mario jump sounds.
  • By ignoring all the cool stuff being done without your help (homebrew) and with it (ds-10) and focusing on gimmicky things that no one will use after owning the DSi for more than 18 seconds.
  • For making me learn who Jamie Liddel is.

That being said I do appreciate the cat sounds.

DuckSlinger Appeared!

screenshotDuckSlinger is a new Tracker for the Nintendo DS that was announced at BlockParty. The interface looks a bit spartan, but the website has demos from Coda and Virt, so you already have no shot at being the best composer for it.

EDIT:  Forgot to mention this appears to be a PSG based tracker. This means you use the Internal DS sounds instead of samples to create your sounds!
