It's that time again! #ttt!!! blackdaisyft@blackdaisyft ablaze@ablaze mipiano@mipiano ravenmus1c@ravenmus1c bacon-dub@bacon-dub revise-sociology@revise-sociology

My music line up this week comes from video games. Even though it's Friday, which comes after Tuesday if you didn't know, it doesn't matter! I'm seated here with my smoking pipe listening to these tunes from these video games:

Neverwinter Nights

This is my all time favourite video game. Two decades old and still going strong. With a solid modding community who is still creating excellent, high quality, player build custom campaigns, like Swordflight, Aielund Saga, Baldecaran's Modules - Cave of Songs, Honor Among Thieves and Prophet.

The Cutlass Inn is a place in the original campaign. Found in the City of Luskan. A haven for the crews of the pirate ships docking in the harbor, the Cutlass was a loud and dangerous bar in Luskan that was famous up and down the Sword Coast. Owned by Arumn Gardpeck, it served pirates, merchants, fences, mercenaries, and all other sorts of colorful personalities. Notoriously dangerous, the Cutlass' common room was renowned for the brawls that broke out and ended up turning fatal.

The tune here reflects what sort of place the Inn is. At first it may seem a shady place full of crooks who look at you like a piece of meat, but as you get to know the place and it's people, it opens up to you. The people here live on their own terms, make a living out of the control of the Establishment. Their live is of adventure, risk and reward that many of us only dream about. These people are my sort of people in a society who's sole aim is to turn you into a number and a slave.

Baldurs Gate

After a long journey we come to the Friendly Arms Inn, where we may rest our spirits from the dangerous world out there on the Sword Coasts. If you haven't played this classic game before then you should. The Friend Arms Inn is one of the first major places we get to at the start of the game, where we meet companions who'll help us on our Heroic Quest.

The Elderscrolls: Skyrim

How many lonesome roads have i taken in my two decades of living a semi-nomadic life? From a young age I have been travelling and seeing the World. This song captures what it's like to be on the road, trying to make your way, with just two hands and a dream in the heart. This is my favorite track on the entire Skyrim soundtrack! It is simultaneously sad and hopeful, at peace yet with the slightest hint of melancholy. I love the way the harp and piano play off of each other intertwining the melody and counter melody to be overtaken by angelic voices that gives way to a solo reed. Secunda is like capturing that single shaft of sunlight that breaks through darkest cloud on a stormy day and sharing it with someone lost in the dark.....

These pieces are perfect pipe-smoking music...
