Video Game Musicals

   To Whom It May Excite,
        Amidst squeals of glee and excitement, I discovered yesterday that a preview cd of the Phoenix Wright musical, which goes by the name of Turnabout Musical, was available for free download. I have been following the progress of the project on and off for over a year now, both on Facebook and by actually checking on the site from time to time. I love the Phoenix Wright games. I'll never claim that they are true to real law, or even that they take a real amount of logic, as any point in the game can be surpassed if one simply saves and tries everything available. But if you look past that failing, they are enjoyable games (that technically aren't called Phoenx Wright in Japan) with a great sense of humor, for a fairly low price.
  Enough shameless plugging of the game itself. The musical, which to the best of my knowledge was officially endorsed by Capcom, and with luck, it should turn out to be a fresh take on what can be done with video games by the fans. And considering the slew of things like remixes, fan art, and fan fiction, something original is always good. Even if, due to circumstance, I never get to see the show performed, the fact it is being developed gives me faith for other similar shows to follow...like perhaps a stage version of The Protomen's Megaman rock operas. 
 
 In less epic news, I have finally worked out the kinks in having applets on my blog posts, so here is a rather basic one. All you have to do is press the click button, driving the square to the top before it falls. The slider sets the difficulty. Have fun.

--EDIT--
The click game was crashing things. So it's gone now.
