Der Berliner Stammtisch
Imitation, flattery and false friends

I realized why I was somewhat disappointed of the music of Deus Ex: Human Revolution this year. And actually it’s quite simple. DX:HR’s music is not Daft Punks sublime score of Tron Legacy. The two seemed to be pretty similar at first glance. But eventually were not. 

Take a listen to this.

And then compare it with the “Theme” from DXHR. And then tell me I was wrong to expect DXHR to go down a similar road musically.

The formidable Jim Sterling improved the voice of BANE.

SOPA threatens the Internet’s very existence.

If this passes, fanart and pretty much anything that uses copyrighted material and intellectual property that isn’t monetized by the owners will disappear from the net.

Mal Wieder Stammtisch

Da es mal wieder VIEL ZU LANGE her ist, dass der Berliner Stammtisch getagt hat, versuche ich jetzt mal, diese wunderbare Tradition ganz ohne dazugehörige Forencommunity wieder aufleben zu lassen. 

Ohne größere Umschweife, ich schlage vor nächsten Mittwoch den 16.3. im NeverNeverLand.
