Having done the rounds of geek-empowering underground club music with 8-Bit & Chiptune parties popping up all around the world, it appears now that the flip has been switched and that some bright spark called ‘Virt’ has managed to catalogue a whole range of old-skool games from way back when and replace all the midi-orchestrated sounds and replace them with their lifelike equivilants for your viewing/listening pleasure…

Nothing says “classy joint that wont poison you” like the laziness of using a black marker to scrawl a cheap offer across the windows of a dark, deserted pizzeria. Then just to add the cherry to the top of this pie (which may be just a dog turd with a crust instead of an actual pie) add white pieces of A4 paper behind the black writing to highlight the cracking offer! Nice try lads but suddenly I feel like a pizza hut.
It seems even machines are lazy. Programmed by humans I guess that’s only to be expected. Spending my Saturday in an edit suite (as I’m sure we all do from time to time) it comforts me to know that rather than giving me a full list of what I have left to capture- the machine instead decides to list four and leave the rest to my own imagining. Brilliant- will I be here for an hour or nine? Who knows? Etc indeed!
