Eternal Lands

MMORPG fans, it is time to treat yourselves once again with an open-source game, that really nails the coffin with its gameplay, structure, playability and looks. It truly is a beauty with a bite of its own. The game is called Eternal Lands. Being an Indie project created by Radu Privantu, it really crosses all expectations and will surely put a big grin on MMORPG fans' faces. The game just launched the version 1.8 last year, meaning that the game was in Beta since 2003. That is one huge Beta period folks.

Mayon: So High/So Low

Listening to Mayon makes you want to grab a hammock, lie down and gently fall asleep to its beautiful folk sound. Unfortunately, there's hardly anything about the singer online. It's almost as if the only thing that represents her is her BandCamp page and that's it. Nevertheless, one listen to, So High/So Low, and all your stress seems to go away. Instantly you're transported to some vintage 60s/70s, hippie folk commune where you're invited to simply enjoy the sound.

Mark.Nine: Bicycles

Containing a mix of flowy and sometimes gritty instrumental tracks, Bicycles is more of a metaphore for how these two wheeled contraptions allows us to travel and take us to places. Mark.Nine's sound is a lot like that. It's both soothing and disturbing (on occasion) compelling its listeners to seek what's beyond. There's a mix of uptempo rhythms, to ethereal sounding cuts; there are even slight dance tracks contained within some of the singles. Not much is available about the singer, even his Facebook info section only states that he's "a figment of your imagination." His sound is real though and it's quite worth taking a listen to.

Jack London: White Fang

White Fang by the famous Jack London is the perfect companion for a night of solitude. After its publication in 1906, this well-known novel has been the cause of the nature fakers controversy, a literary debate between science and sentiment on popular culture. Jack Griffith “Jack” London is an American author, journalist and an advocate of unionization, socialism and the workers’ rights. He was one of the first fiction writers who became popular worldwide mainly due to his masterpieces such as Call of the Wild, White Fang, Klondike Gold Rush and many more.

The Specktators: The Sunroom

Expertly using samples while incorporating catchy beats and using clever rhymes; the album showcases what the brothers do best: create some fun lovin' music for anyone who knows how to have a great time.

Crash Bandicoot fan-boys on Android, hold your horses for what is about to come. Tiki Kart 3D is the exact replica of the Crash series from the PS1 and boy oh boy this one lives up to all its expectations. Tiki Kart 3D is the only game that not only comes close, but actually is as good as the Crash Bandicoot game.

The Year Million: The Year Million

When it comes to alternative rock, the genre is often littered with bands that all sound the same. However, occasionally there are bands who up-the-anti and deviate from the usual mix to bring their own brand of sound; The Year Million seems poised to do this. This Boston-based band is made up of Scott House (vocals), Jason Calieri (guitar), John Salogiannis (bass), Rob Wu (drums), and Bjørn-Atle Reme (synth). Together, they play their own flavor of indie alternative rock. Creating subtle and enjoyable melodies that garner comparison to bands like Queens of the Stone Age.

PC Decrapifier

PC Decrapifier removes unneeded programs from brand-new and used PCs. It takes you step by step, giving recommendations on what to ditch. Software downloads often come with other add-ons or in bundles. But it's not only what you've download that can be a burden on your system - new PCs come with pre-installed software that you might never even use. Most of them are harmless but if you have more than just few they just could slow down your machine.
