So, a friend of mine, @Arkin_Dmitr , has “gained a love for [my] love of chiptunes” and requested me to “share [my] infinite knowledge of chiptunes.” Let it be known that Someone asked for my supposed knowledge of something and I’m going to help.

A new video going around by Simon Cottee, creator of Rule, in which he explains the pixel and what it means for people, or rather what it could mean, alongside interesting points brought up by SiD creator Jason Rohrer, chiptune artist Dot.AY, and Studio Joho.

With Tron Legacy on the way, now is a pretty good time to look back on a classic geek icon and pleasantly sigh with nostalgia. Especially so with a tribute to the original Tron in the form of 8-bit chiptune mixes of Wendy Carlos’ original iconic music by (guess who) 8-Bit Weapon.
Tron Tribute is a free MP3 album consisting of 5 mixes of two tracks from the original Tron soundtrack, Tron Scherzo and the Tron Theme and Ending. Be sure to download this fantastic tribute to Tron on 8 Bit Weapon’s music page to get it. And you better get it! It’s free and fantastically awesome!
