Techno Future

I like techno. That’s right, I admit it, I have a keyboard that I need to learn how to play and I have a friend who just so happens to like techno too. I think I’m gonna start a techno band and name it something tight like… I don’t know, but I feel like I will when I need to.

Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of different funky beats. Being used to listening to alternative music, I naturally came across a guy named DJ Tiesto who remixes music that’s originally made by other artists, including Tegan and Sara (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0LO6v43YCo).

At first it pissed me off that he took another person’s song to remix, but it actually turned out to be pretty cool, I’ve listened to it about three times in a row now and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon. I don’t know, there’s something about the techno beat, I guess I can just feel it in my bones.

Stolen from Pirates

I found this kind of funny, apparently the video game company Rockstar, whilst trying to turn their game Max Payne 2 into a computer game so they could sell it online (http://store.steampowered.com/app/12150/ you can buy here), copied the new code from pirates who had already managed to turn it into a computer game in the past. The proof was noticed by Liamaj who posts in Steam’s forum. Liamaj was checking out the code for the game when they noticed the code had a pirating logo, or the word “myth” embedded into it. You can check out this forum and also view a picture of the code at this location http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1263556 .

I guess Karma does exist...
