geeky tutorials, tips, guides and reviews
Alright, routing issues are fixed – and I think all my web sites are back in working order. Now to get back to business, I have found a great music source for those of you who love all the tunes from the various Metroid games and lovers of heavy metal alike. Feast your ears on Metroid Metal.
In my top ten video games of all time, the Metroid series would have to be somewhere in the top five at least. Due to the popularity of my first Metroid-themed wallpaper find, I thought I would search the Internet for more Samus Aran goodness. Enjoy!
Not so much these days, but years ago the music in games were much better. I miss those days, of getting certain video game themes stuck in my head. Maybe it is more nostalgia than not – but I don’t care. Here are my top 10 favorite video game themes of all time…
Ridley’s Theme from Super Smash Bros Brawl (and Metroid)
Pit’s Theme from Kid Icarus
You would be amazed with the stuff I find when I have nothing else better to do than randomly search around online. Need an example? Via this very cool small custom wallpaper site I found this awesome wallpaper version of the final boss battle from Super Metroid.
They have both a 1024×768 version and a 2560×1600 version for you to use. (source link)
Looks like the web site where these were hosted went down, however I did find the high-res version and uploaded it here.
Also, found another copy of it here, just in case.
Makes me want to fire up my version of Super Metroid I have on my Wii right now. I was a big fan of the SNES version too (couldn’t tell you how many times I played it all the way through).
If I had to pick my top ten gaming franchises, Metroid would have to be only second to the Legend of Zelda series for me. So, in tribute to that though (and the fact I wanted to play with creating some more desktop icons) here are both the classic Samus look (suited samus) and Zero Suit Samus icons for your enjoyment.
This time around I included both .png and .ico files (due to your suggestions last time around.) Feel free to use them as you wish. All that I ask is you subscribe to the feed!
The two icons are compatible with the following sizes: 256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16. Enjoy, and let me know if you like ‘em or not. Might make a few more.
