Corpse Run 670: Primed and ready to Echo
So yeah, we all got Amazon Echo Dots at our office Christmas party last week, pretty neat! I haven’t used it all that much yet outside of it being an alarm clock, but it’s kind of cool to say “Echo (I changed the activation word away from Alexa), set an alarm for seven am tomorrow” and it does it.
Now you might be saying, “Alex, you have alarms on your phone.”
…sure, but now I have another alarm!
I can also tell it to play music on Amazon Prime Music which is pretty sweet.
Also, Rich and I finished up the Chrono Trigger run we were playing and are currently doing a new game plus to see all the endings. While the game itself is pretty good, the real star of the show is the soundtrack. More or less every tune is fantastic on it’s own, and for all of these amazingly great songs to all be from the same game is pretty remarkable.
Even if you never play the game, I’d recommend checking out the soundtrack!
Oh man, when I first saw there were multiple endings depending on when you ended in new game + I was both amazed & confounded (it was the early 90’s). So much good stuff in there, so many side stories that alter the fate of the world.
On the music note (ha) frogs theme is a sure fire way to get pumped up fast. It’s one of the game soundtracks I went out & bought because it was so good. That said, there was a fan project a while back called Chrono Symphonic, and they did arrangements of the soundtrack. It’s really good too.
