Awesome! Still for me SID > Gameboy Music. That said SID + Gameboy Music would be sick!
This stuff is actually pretty impressive.
That was the best edited Engadget show piece i've ever seen..
@sshole Our editor Michael Slavens is a beast. He rules.
@Chad Mumm
He complements you on your piece and you call him an asshole??? That's messed up dude :)
sshole: briliant nick ;)
@kaplanfx oh no, how could I spell brilliant wrong :)
@sshole You sir, have an account name.
@werty1432k meant to say, have a great account name, my bad.
(Engadget needs a comment editor..)
The music can be ok, but the visuals are just too wacky/random to enjoy.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@weaky6
Yes I am!
You should ask cTrix to perform as well, he has some made Chiptuning skills
The geekiest human beings on the planet! haha I love they guys. AWESOME!
that 8 bit chick is SMOKING HOT
@Fantastadon yeah...outpt is ultimate geeky hotness...but the two dudes are so...OLD. Oh well, guess that means I can consider 8-bit musician as a hobby when I reach my golden years...
This kinda stuff isn't for me, much prefer a bit of Boy 8 Bit instead
Anamanaguchi FTW!
Great episode and and another thumbs up on the editing.
I love the visuals and I hate to say it, but the music literally rapes my ears.
Great episode, I was wondering exactly WHAT they were doing during that first Engadget taping, they were all standing there playing on their handhelds, cool to know they were actually mixing music in real time!
Machinae Supremacy was one of my first introductions to any sort of "video game" music. SID Metal FTW

Smaller size link (at least I'm hoping it's smaller, not going to download it at 70+ MB - the ipod link) is a 404 at the moment.
@(Unverified) The Zune feed is also not working
The ironic thing here is that not long ago, pepole were paid money to make this stuff for the games that we used to play. Now, people are doing it as a hobby and for the "art".
FFS Chiptunes are much older than Gameboys... do your research! Look up "Rob Hubbard"!
@bigsofty
rob hubbard is a god. giana sisters FTW
I couldn't get the iTunes feed to download, but luckily I was able to download the HD download link to work as a consolation :)
I'm getting a download error in the Zune store. Hopefully someone at Engadget actually reads this stuff. Your feeds are breaking!
they need to sort out the ipod feeds there broke i need to download for my ipod
@facelessloser and everyone else, we've fixed the broken link, thanks for the heads-up!
