After being attacked by a rampant AI from the future (and…well…due to general public outcry), Mysdirection has returned to live another day.
This won’t be a blog, really, since I can’t ever talk about things I’m doing (42 being the Apple, Inc. of the ARG world and all), but it WILL be a place to find info about fun games and things to keep you occupied. And no clue here, ever. Who would ever do such a thing??
Yeah, spokesmodel, you heard me.
After over a year of relative silence, mostly due to transitioning over to 42Entertainment, I’m going to be going public again in the next few weeks. I’ll be a guest on a couple podcasts netcasts, the first of which will be the ARG Netcast, which is pretty fitting.
No clues, just talking about my transition from one side of the curtain to the other, work on Last Call Poker and Dead Man’s Tale, and other fun meta-type things. At least, that’s the plan.
Be watching for announcements of more netcast appearances in the coming weeks.
Well, it turns out I had to wait until the last week of the year to find myself what I think is the best Soundtrack of 2005. Those of you who know me, know that I’m really a soundtrack junkie, as movie soundtracks comprise most of my collection. And I’m talking original scores, not assembled pop-song soundtracks, here.
I normally wouldn’t even mention this, but this score really is exceptional. I’m talking about the score from the The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. Original, moving, and a really pleasant surprise.
There have been plenty of good soundtracks out this year, but Gregson-Williams’ (Shrek, Metal Gear Solid, Man on Fire) gets my vote for the best, and it’s not just because I’m some rabid C.S. Lewis fan. In fact, track #2, “Evacuating London,” may be the best cue I’ve heard in 10 years. It’s that good, folks. I’ve been listening to this album repeatedly all week, and it’s been a long time since I’ve done something like that.
Maybe it’s because it evokes memories of the White Witch, who I think is hot. Is that wrong? :P
Anyway, do yourself a favor and pick this up, if for nothing more than the Alanis Morissette song.
Oh, as for best film of 2005? That one’s easy.

“Apparantly there is an one frame easter egg included in the trailer.
Fast forward to 1:46 and then go frame by frame. Just for kicks or a viral marketing trick?”
You can find links to screenshots in the comments on Digg. It’s a kloo! Why did i first read “Apocalypso?” :)
