Music for Nerds, Vol. 1337

Simon over at GameSetWatch has posted a number of cool music-related things in the last week or so. First was the four-disc nerdcore compilation, which contains a whopping 80+ tracks of hit-and-miss geek rap. With subjects ranging from World of Warcraft to Emma Frost's hard outer shell, there's bound to be something here to tickle your fanboy bone. Next is the extremely nerdy Cave Story remix project. This is remixed music from the soundtrack of a homebrew sidescrolling freeware PC game from a Japanese developer. That's so hardcore, it's like adamantium-mixed-with-vibranium hardcore.

By the way, all this music is made available for free by the artists, so there's no reason not to check it out. And if you haven't played Cave Story (also free), then you really need to. The game has been making waves in the game community for its quirky style and high level of polish. Seriously, it's awesome. R2 called it "one of the best platformers I've ever played." Again, no excuses!
