Attack the Soundtrack Winner

We have a winner for the Attack the Soundtrack Contest and that winner is Albino Ghost Monkey with the song "Visiting"

After many entries and bleeding ears.  Albino Ghost Monkey had the winning song that sounded like it would fit into a videogame.

Head on over to http://www.myspace.com/albinoghostmonkey and check out the winning track "Visiting".  It's definitely 8bit inspired and definitely 8bit awesome.

Congratulations Albino Ghost Monkey and we'll be listening to your song very very soon.

Four-way Action in Galcon

The interns over in New York are extremely busy...as you can see in this video.  Just kidding of course, I'm sure this was done on their lunch break.  Either way, enjoy some four player action in a friendly game of GalCon!  Then get in there and play a game of your own.

Now I'm tempted to join one of their games to show 'em what's up.  I think I could take them...

Longer Loooong Shot!

Looks like Stoja16 may have incited a war.  Pafker (an intern in New York) has captured his long shot reaching 424 feet.  Is this the longest long shot we'll see?  I doubt it.
