December 8 show - Holiday Spirit

Today's show was much more laid back than others, I'm afraid to say. Because of some excessive end-of-semester work, I wasn't especially prepared as I usually am.
For the opening set today, I chose "fan remixes." Video and computer games have very devoted fans, and I used the opening set to showcase some things these fans have produced. Among the played games:
  • "Wasteland Dancin'," a Fallout 3 remix by "Airshom".
  • "Starcraft Virus," a Starcraft remix by a currently-unknown fan.
  • "It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Dustbowl," a Team Fortress 2 remix by The Dead Workers Party.
  • "Twelve Days of Starcraft," a Starcraft remix by Blizzard, apparently produced as a joke by the company; nice when a company can laugh at its own product.
  • "Spy Sappin' My Sandwich," another Team Fortress 2 remix, also by The Dead Workers Party. A parody of a Christmas carol.
After tiring of remixes, I decided to move on to our "PRESS START!" where this week we went back to basics, playing an NES game. This one was going to be a bit longer than usual, being the game "Legend of Zelda." Didn't intend for it to go on as long as it did, but oh well.
No suitable song could be found for reflection purposes, so I moved on to our closing set, Paul McCartney. Songs played were:
  • "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five"
  • "Live and Let Die"
  • "Band on the Run"
About then, we were out of time on the show, and it was time for the next DJ. So, until next week...such was the end of The G-Man Presents. See you next week!
