About Me


Doing a lot of videogame music covers (mainly rockin')!



26 y/o dude, Sweden. Passions in life - games, music and the combination / creation of the two. Got a decent little nerd base of my own, but always struggling to stay afloat economically.



Spent super much time as a "competitive" FPS gamer, like this. Have lost the motivation though and found the work/time/headache to fun/reward ratio to be really messed up, so quit that right before newyears '09. Back to the roots - fun games for pure enjoyment! Mega Man fo' lyfe.



Big fan of the Destructoid podcasts. Will never forget you, RetroforceGO!

Three hours in, 2012 is feeling good so far. As things were exploding outside, I did something loosely related. Again, happy new year y'all!

More Pinball! (VGM)

Not a single comment or fap on the Mystic Quest cover the other day; I can take a hint... *sniffle*.

But I dun' wanna! Stumbled across this last night while looking at other Pinball-related stuff on YouTube and nostalgia'd all over. Definitely not that long ago since I played the game, but not only is the music turned off by default; normally no sound at all is preferred for... discretion. Hrm.

Anyway, hope ye likes.

The quest was mystical indeed (VGM)

Juuust got done with this one, came out alright I think! I remember it as if it was yesterday that NukaCola did his drum cover. Maybe not everyone's absolute favorite Final Fantasy game but it's got some pretty rocking tunes; there's at least one more really metal one I'd like to cover sometime :)

Anyway! Hope ye likes.

Unholy Pinballs! (VGM Cover)

You best believe it took a while to sit and listen out each and every one of these roughly five billion delicious TurboGrafx-16 notes (and then figure out what to do with them all). Quite happy with how it turned out in the end!

As I've already told Chad; I constantly had his high regard for this game (as expressed on RFGO) in the back of my head from the moment I got the link to the original soundtrack, so even though I hadn't played it myself I had that "this game is amazing, I'm so motivated to do my best tribute!" feeling while working on the cover. Of course, the game is amazing as I've now confirmed (please "enjoy" my first time playing it in the video, heh) and I'll absolutely be playing it some more for all the cool bonus stages etc that I've seen on reviews and stuff.

But man, the music in this. I'd play a lot more pinball games if Devil's Crush was the norm :)

Anyway, hope ye likes.

Thanks for the heads-up! Been playing the snot out of this game all weekend and it has been glorious. No idea how many hours I clocked in what was technically just two sittings, but my Soldier is level 22 so far.

Aside from some lag issues (for which I can't really blame them; userbase really skyrocketed this week and they've been working hard on it) it's so much fun. Everyone I've talked to and "partied" with so far has been super nice and helpful, and the game is... not for everyone, but sure as hell is for me. :)

Quickie (gotta get back to playing!) -

Never played this SNES game or even knew it existed until I watched a review of it; seems it was all for the best but it did have some badass music! Here be my rendition of the main theme.
