My Subreddit Floating Is Fun
My subreddit Floating Is Fun
Hi, all! I’ve been away adapting to my new life as a dad. Reddit and its great RSS feeds have been helping me keep up with eclectic music fans, retro gamers, the FGC, CAP makers, dreamers, explainers, and otaku. Still, those don’t scratch my itch for a feeling of floating, so I made my own subreddit for that!
At Floating Is Fun, we play around with things that float in the air, real or fantasy, and it doesn’t take much work for me. If prolonged loss of contact with the floor sounds like a good time, come on in and give us a push!

Rob Scallon – Enter Sandman (backwards cover)
Rob Scallon is back and he’s really outdone himself this time. His cover of Metallica’s Enter Sandman was played in reverse on each instrument, then reversed back around the right way in editing. Even the vocals were sung in reverse! As always, he has fun with the video.

Metallica’s Enter Sandman… BACKWARDS!
TwistedJiko
I have news on my highly anticipated, long delayed project! Jiko and I got engaged under the blood moon! I can’t wait for more magic and adventures with the love of my life and our family. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Maldita Castilla
Locomalito makes hard traditional 2D games that can be beaten in one sitting, and he releases them for free out of his love of arcade culture. Check out Maldita Castilla, his love letter to dark Nintendo Hard platform games like Ghosts ‘n Goblins and Castlevania. Most of the monsters come from Spanish myths we don’t normally see in video games. Find the hidden Moura’s Tear item in each stage and try not to lose your soul. The developer also made Hydorah, a brutally difficult horizontal scrolling shooter with powerups.
For God and Castile!

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 27: Music from a handheld game From Bravely Default (3DS, 2012)
JDetan keeps telling me about Bravely Default’s fantasy rock soundtrack. He also says I should never trust a fairy, whatever that means. If a portable RPG rocks this hard throughout, I’ve got to play it.
Edit: Yikes! The first YouTube video I had here was taken down today! Here's a different upload. I use official YouTube Music uploads where possible, but none exist for Bravely Default's soundtrack. Edit 2: I had to replace the YouTube video again.

Savaged Regime – Boss 2
30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 16: 16-Bit music From Xeno Crisis (Genesis/Mega Drive, 2019)
Holy crap! Is this Prodigy-sounding jam coming from 16-bit hardware?? This narrowly beat Vapor Trail for my Genesis/Mega Drive pick.

Spruce Creek Fly-In Community
It’s 2015; where are our flying cars? In his search for flying cars, James May visited Spruce Creek, Florida. This village treats airplanes like cars, parked in garages and taxied right down the street to the local runway. If every town was this well adapted to small planes, we’d all be flying from place to place, right?
By the way, my Friday night stream has moved to Hitbox! I’m attacking games like Super Back to the Future II, Panorama Cotton, and Sayonara Umihara Kawase, so stop by and chat!

Weird Al SHREDS!!!
The first CD I ever owned was Weird Al Yankovic’s album Bad Hair Day. The wisdom tooth pain and root canal I’ve been recovering from for the past week remind of the track Cavity Search, so thought I’d make that the first song I post to the blog. Trouble is, I can’t find a decent way to embed the song that’s in any way legal, but you can play it on Spotify if you don’t mind getting an account there.
For the rest of you, you can still watch Weird Al shred.

Stan Freberg – St. George And The Dragonet
From 1951, this is St. George and the Dragonet. It’s a parody of the then-new TV show Dragnet…with a dragon. We salute you, Stan Freberg!

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 19: Cover of music by a different artist (Robin Beanland and Mark Betteridge) From Killer Instinct (Xbox One, 2013)
Maya’s already catchy Killer Instinct 2 theme got a big EDM upgrade. This criminally overlooked reboot stayed Xbox One-exclusive too long.

Junya Nakano – Town
30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 5: Hub world or overworld music From Threads of Fate (PS1, 1999)
This game’s town acts as a hub world. You’ll be greeted with this song between stages as you get to know everyone in town.
