This morning I woke up from a long night of partying (it was a friend's birthday), and all I could think about was that I wanted to hear "Voices" from Madonna's album, Hard Candy. Justin Timberlake sings a little on the song, too. It's the last song on the album, and I used to skip over it, but I really like it now. Here it is ...

In other news, there is an updated version of my favorite video game ever, Final Fantasy IV, on the Nintendo DS. Now, I will not buy this because I do not have the Nintendo DS, and I think some of the graphics look downright awful (because they are designed for the Nintendo DS and not a more powerful system like the XBOX 360, PS3, or Wii). However, the little movie parts of the game do look cool, and it is very interesting to see the old characters of Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, Kain, etc., turned into 3-D computer animation. It's interesting to hear the music updated, too. Final Fantasy IV was actually Final Fantasy II in the U.S. Here is the trailer from www.gametrailers.com ...

  I don't have a PS3, so I will not be able to play the new Final Fantasy game (part 13, I think), whenever it comes out, but I will be able to play the new Resident Evil 5 game (which is called Biohazard 5 in Japan) on the XBOX 360. I can't wait for it. I read about the Resident Evil franchise on Wikipedia, and it said that some people believe the franchise was based on a survival horror game for the original NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) called Sweet Home (I don't think is proven, thouhg). I missed out on all of the Resident Evil games growing up because I never had a Playstation or Nintendo Game Cube. I had an NES (the first Nintendo system), a Super Nintendo, and then I went straight to the PC and Playstation 2. You can download a lot of video game system emulators, though, especially the original NES, and play the old games on your PC. I tried playing a little of Sweet Home. It was very much like playing an old Final Fantasy game (well, it was like playing part 1 I guess ... not as good as part II, which was part IV in Japan ... ok, this is getting confusing).

Here is the old NES game, Sweet Home (English version) ...

  I love the cheesy, creepy music.

Here is the Japanese movie, Sweet Home (I think it is "Suito Homu" in Japanese), that actually went with the game (they were released together) ...

Here is the trailer for Final Fantasy XIII or 13 ...

Here is the latest trailer for Resident Evil 5 ...

OK, that's enough nerding out for right now. ;)

Here are a bunch of remixes of "4 Minutes" or "4 Minutes To Save The World", whichever title you want to use. Most of these remixes are amateur, but they're still fun (well, some of them are).

Click on the "4" to hear the remix ...

Also, this "4 Minutes To Save The World" song has invaded my mind, and I am liking it. The video is pretty cool, too.

or you can just listen here ...

Here is Madonna and Justin Timberlake's new song, "4 Minutes To Save The World" if anyone is interested. I guess it was "leaked", and a French radio station played it. You can hear the DJ way too much during the song. The song is actually kind of hard to hear. It sounds OK, but nothing great. Maybe it will sound better when I hear the finished, high-quality version. You can tell that Timbaland produced it.
