I remember, back before I switched my blog over to WordPress — that was more than a year ago now — I came across an amateur-made fighting game online. Most of the characters are played by real people. Hilarious, brilliant, seriously impressive. I remember the author’s blog was called “Jiangxi Dinosaur’s Lair” back then. There were only a handful of characters, the story wasn’t finished, and there were plenty of bugs, haha. I downloaded it and played for a while, but after I reinstalled my system I never went back to it.

The game soundtrack Echoes of War: 战争的回响, produced entirely by Australia’s Eminence Symphony Orchestra, collects the full orchestral renditions of music from Blizzard’s blockbusters Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, and Diablo III, and is now available for online order. The idea came from the World of Warcraft tracks previously sold on iTunes, which unexpectedly won the support and purchases of many players. Players said that music is an important form of leisure in many people’s lives, and that being able to buy it openly let them listen to World of Warcraft music on their commute to and from work — until they got home and couldn’t wait to turn on the computer, log into World of Warcraft, and set off on their own epic journey.

It’s been a few days since I finished Chinese Paladin 3, but it still has a hold on me, and I don’t want to let it go. Those moving love stories have ended. All that’s left are scene after scene of vivid memories, image after image of bittersweet beauty. Those stirring background melodies keep lingering in my ears.

Sharing these two albums, SongBook 1 and Songbook 2. Even though they are French albums, most of the tracks are traditional Celtic folk songs from northern France.

The Chinese Paladin 3 TV series has been made too, and it’s currently a big hit here in China…

Having gotten bored of every other game, and with WoW’s Chinese servers temporarily gone, I was bored out of my mind. Into this gap stepped Plants vs. Zombies — a plain but adorable, simple but fun single-player game — and it was a real eye-opener. The art is just so kawaii.

WoW has left us for the time being — I really miss it. Over the past few days I played through the campaign again, starting from Reign of Chaos, and then I stumbled across “The Official History of Warcraft, Audio Edition” on verycd! A real gem from several years back.

Claire Kuo, the new-generation Taiwanese singer, follows up I Don’t Want to Forget You and The Next Dawn with another pure-love album, Singing in the Trees. The “The Next Dawn” creative team — lyricist Yao Ruo-long and composer Chen Xiao-xia — joined forces again to write her 2009 pure-love title track “Singing in the Trees,” and paired with her fresh new look (a short, sassy haircut), she kicks off yet another wave of ballad fever.

After the release of her second album Dear… I Still Don’t Know, Deserts Chang brought in her bandmates Algae, and the four of them buried themselves in the studio and the recording room for eight straight months. After grinding through that long production period, Deserts Chang’s third all-original album, City, finally hit shelves everywhere on May 22.
