Nine months after creating the internet sensation, Sales Guy vs. Web Dude, The Website is Down is back, and they’ve taken on a new task: Excel.
In Excel Hell, Chip takes us on a wild ride into the life of a master salesman, and we see how many sales he can make in a single video. (One? Maybe?)

World of Goo has been an indie gaming sensation, and now Kyle Gabler has made the soundtrack that he created for the game available as a free download.
The majority of the instruments you’ll hear are computer instruments, with a few live performances on top to add a bit of warmth. For the older music, I used one of those Sound Blaster cards that let you load samples into memory. More recently, I’ve been using the freeware sfz soundfont sampler. I have an m-audio keystation 49e midi keyboard for picking out melodies. Influences include Danny Elfman, Vangelis, Bernard Herrmann, Hans Zimmer, Ennio Morricone, and all the big movie guys. I grew up listening to them, and they remain a big influence in everything I write.
Many of the songs were written specifically for the game, but a few were also salvaged from previous projects that he had worked on, but if you’re looking for some interesting music to get you through the day, then give the World of Goo Soundtrack a try.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen a Line Rider video that I had almost forgotten about the sledding sensation. Big thanks to UNEASYsilence for reminding me.
