UPDATE: It seems that Team Teamwork has received a Cease-and-Desisted and sadly the site is no more. However, this is the internet and I’m sure you guys may be able to find other ways to get these as I personally do love these mixes and should have been up much longer that it should of have.

Final Fantasy 7, one of the RPG’s that made an impact when it came out in the PS1 era and introduced us to what many would consider the greatest enemy ever, Sephiroth, who happened to be a momma’s boy. One thing about the game that I remember greatly was the soundtrack. It has memorable music and I could immediately remember any moment of the game if I heard a music piece from it. Well, Team Teamwork, who also brought us The Ocarina of Rhyme mix, has released their latest creation, Vinyl Fantasy 7. Sure you may think how dare they mix rap with this stuff, but after listening to the tracks, I can easily say, I’m impressed. These are well done mixes and they deserve to get some exposure. So head on to their website and check out the tracks, and if you happen to like it, there is an option to download the album for what ever price you want. Now all I can think of is if Tifa would have this playing in her bar with Barret trying to break it down to the beat.

I, like  you, have always wondered….why is Captain Kirk climbing the mountain??? WHY I ASK YOU!!? Thankfully today Greatwhitesnark.com ran across the answer.

But before I share the answer to this age-old question with you, dear nerds, I’d like to give you a few preparatory tips.

1. Get comfy…why not throw on some denim and flannel? Believe me you’ll thank me later.

2. Blur your lines between Captain Kirk and William Shatner, as “he” has done here.

3. Prepare for mid-thickness Shatner

Oooooooooh Shatner(d), you’ve done it again…you’ve made me want to go dig out my life-size poster of you that I talked the guy at Time Warp Comics (Boulder, Colorado) out of so many years back. Back in college when you were second on my crush list only to Leonard Nimoy (Spock Nimoy not turtlenecked In Search Of Nimoy…I’m not that f’ed up). I mean, just think, I lived in Colorado and had no idea you were trying to “make love to the mountain” — SO WAS I KIRK…so was I.

I pity da foo' who doesn't know what this is.

There are a lot of bad movies floating around, and there are a lot of bad songs that go along with them. Action films — particularly those from the 1980s — have many of the worst soundtracks, and yet some of our most iconic verses have come from Rocky, The Karate Kid and so forth. Did any of the Members Only-jacket-wearing producers at the time know this would happen? Of course not. Will they take credit for our love of cheesy lyrics and guitar solos? Absolutely.

After the jump, check out 10 oddly mesmerizing songs from the action films of yesteryear. Fair warning: these songs will suck up valuable brain space, and you’ll be singing them for hours.

Anyways, this is a metal rendering of the mario theme with the 8-bit vid to kick it off.

We’ve all spent endless nights slamming the buttons of a Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar, and thought that we were the freakin’ man.  Some of us take it a little too far, claims Mr. Chris of The New Underground.  “People have actually come up to me and said, ‘You play guitar?  My boyfriend is really good at guitar.  He plays Rock Band.’  It’s kind of ridiculous.  These people don’t know what playing a real instrument is like.”  

This has inspired me to create the [insert booming echoey voice] Scale of Legitimate  and Undeniable Talent or SLUT for short.
