Buying virtual things that no one will see

I took yesterday off from work due to feeling like crap, which gave me a lot more time to devote to gaming. Or at least that’s what I thought it would do. As it turns out, I simply devoted my time to doing weird time-wasting activities. Like going into Playstation Home. I hardly ever go there anymore. But the lure of Halloween events was too great, and I had to see what there was to…

It's come to my attention that the music player has vanished from my recent Halloween VGM articles. I'm working on getting them back up ASAP. Edit: Looks like the problem might be with the Chrome browser. The music player is still there if I view the site in FireFox.

For a change, this one is a pretty spooky song from a pretty spooky level from a not very spooky game! Super Mario 64’s haunted house level, Big Boo's Haunt was one of my favorite levels in the game.

Hey all! It's almost Halloween once again, and man do I love this time of year. This year I thought I'd put up some of my favorite video game music that gets me in a Halloween mood! This first one might seem like an odd choice; there's so many classic Castlevania tunes that people would probably sooner pick over this one, but there's just something about the simplistic Game Boy sound library, and the cool…
