I don't think even our pal Lipton has posted this stuff yet.  Check out some of the first single player action I have seen from StarCraft 2:



I do have this backed up if it disappears (PM me) for some odd reason though it is hosted on our GiantRealm servers so hopefully that doesn't happen.  Video is courtesy of one of our extended network sites Incgamers. 

On top of that an NDA must have been lifted today as all sorts of sites have their first hands on previews of the single player action courtes…  More

I’m excited to announce that the 4 minute prelude to Illegal Danish 3 will be released today right here on Gameriot Myndflame!  It is a frame by frame parody of the Starcraft 2 Cinematic trailer recreated inside the World of Warcraft universe utilizing composites and 3D visual effects not quite like anything that has ever been done before in Machinima.

The original Illegal Danish movie won five first place awards in the Blizzard Movie Contest (Best Comedy, Editing, Music, Dialogue and Action Scen…  More

After yesterday's *****-fest when people around the internet found out about a lack of LAN play in StarCraft 2 you had to know this wasn't the end of the issue.

First up was a statement from Blizzard PR man Bob Colayco:

All sorts of news has been creeping out of Blizzard recently regarding StarCraft 2 thanks much in part to a press event last week.

Starfeeder as usual has all sorts of new media for you to sift through including this video footage below with commentary from OverSky:


Some interesting news came out regarding this long hiatus without any new StarCraft content.  It seems World of Warcraft was one of the reasons behind such a long delay in StarCraft 2.  Rob Pardo recently informed Eurogamer that while …  More

In case you guys haven't been keeping up on the news there is this little known game titled StarCraft 2 heading our way sometime soon.  Possibly even this year?

News broke today via the Activision conference call confirmed that the beta for Starcraft 2 will be out this summer.  Assuming the beta goes off without a hitch I'd have to see it is quite likely that we see SC2 before the year's end and probably in time for the holiday season.  This of course makes the most financial sense as that is the…  More

The very first time I saw a Rage Against the Machine concert when I was 16, not only was I blown away, but there was no doubt in my mind that the music gods decided it was time that my audio virginity was to be deflowered. I have never been disappointed by their performances since. In fact, some of their shows have undoubtedly been some of the best live music experiences I've ever taken part in. Not just in the sense of audio alone but also crazy, unadulterated, political angst in the form of one of musics most innovative guitar and vocals duo of Zack De La Rocha and Tom Morello. When I first heard that the band and it's members would be parting ways, not only was it a massive hit to the music industry as whole, but I was incredibly disappointed that one of my first music loves was no more. That's not to say I didn't get my fair share of pure insanity in the form of multiple sets though. …  More

I have to admit, I was a little bit disappointed when I heard the very first (of what has become many) UPS commercials sporting one of the electronic melodies created on behalf of Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service. Although I had moments of nostalgia as I daydreamed back to when I was first introduced to Such Great Heights back round 04'- the very song that I was now hearing used as a background to what appeared to be some sort of gimmicky new-aged commercial - I was hard pressed to believe the witty, long-haired individual that appeared to be …  More

As you might have noticed, I've brought on a couple of writers to contribute along with me on Land of the Emu(sic). My ultimate goal with this side project is to approach all genres and directions of music, albeit with caution and patience. Simply put, that is something that one man or woman's interests obviously can never come close to covering alone. Hopefully, Caaaro, Oradol, and my yet to be found third contributor will able to cover bands and music projects that I don't have interest in or haven't heard of myself, and you enjoy everything they write as well. Definitely show them your support whenever you can. They will be contributing 1-2 articles a week each, but also might have large gaps between when they post, just as I might.…  More

While the article I wrote on Sage Francis was generally well received, the most common complaints were that the delivery and flow of his tracks leave the listener wanting more. I stand by what I say in that he is poetic and his lyrics have a lot of relative substance, but I wholeheartedly agree that he falls short in comparison to other artists in all other areas. Today I chose to talk about Aesop Rock, a hip-hop artist with one of the most unique styles of flow and presentation I can think of. The exact opposite of Sage Francis.…  More

I consider the musical compositions of TOOL to be some of the most alluring and equally saturating sounds ever created. They are one of the few reasons I have ever spent more than 10 dollars on a pair of headphones or had to pull out a dictionary to figure out what the hell that last word I heard even meant. When I was first introduced to the band, the complex sound of Ænima was nothing short of enlightenment when it came to the music world. Once Lateralus was released, my taste and intellectual grasp of music had expanded beyond baggy jeans and chains - thus, for one of the first times ever, I spent countless hours in what felt like a state of eerie lucidness listening to the mantra like sound of the album on repeat as opposed to worrying about the presentation of my metal image. The almost diabolical sounding guitar riffs in combination with the soft, angelic voice of Maynard was a rewarding escape from your more popular bands of the period such as Limp Bizkit or any of the one hit wonders that were an offspring of the combination of ludicrous sounding rap and guitars with an unnecessary 7th string. Of course, at this point my experience was limited to the sound capabilities of my original 10 dollar earphones that i later ditched, so once I managed to attend a concert when TOOL came through Chicago in 2001, I was joyfully reintroduced to the band in a completely new light.…  More

Be warned, this is not going to come even remotely close to sharing the same tone of previous articles here on emusic. Read at your own risk.

Jasi: I have high hopes for this blog, and from the responses I've heard thus far, it seems that people are interested and I'm glad to see that. Our goal is to provide daily content, and thus I have added a contributor whom I feel will bring a different perspective than my own to the blog. I hope that you enjoy both of our respective styles of writing, and will participate in discussions that follow. Without further adieu, welcome Caaaro to the blog.

I too have been recently begged to jump o…  More

It's unfortunate, really, that rap and hip-hop music of your conventional mainstream sorts, apply a much larger focus on club-ready beats over a goal of emotional absorption, intellectual immersion, and lyrical quality wit…  More
