Videogame Photo of the Day – Track & Field NES 8bit For Real Olympic Race Wallpaper Artwork
Hahahaha, run lil man run!
I never really played these games as a kid, but I do recall this one girl I used to like who was 8 years old and lived down the street. Her name was “Carolina” and she owned this game along with the Power Pad for NES. Of course, I always played the cooler games like Excitebike, Batman or Contra. Now I feel like I missed out!
I saw a funny comment with a guy saying him and his friends never actually stepped on that mat to play, they simply pounded their fists into it to make the lil olympian run!
If you never played these games, they were (in many ways) the precursor to the Dance Dance Revolution series and it’s mat-based Dance/Music/Rhythm gameplay.
Here’s a video of Track & Field NES gameplay in action.
Song of the Day – Time Is (Ticking Away) (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Free At Last Album
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Time Is from their 1992 album Free At Last. This is track #9 of 17.
Time Is (Ticking Away) from DC Talk’s 1992 album “Free At Last”, in my opinion, marked a glimpse at the future, and at the Rock Band direction that DC Talk would take with their next album. Although “Time Is” has hip-hop elements, it’s a very rocking track that is absolutely awesome sounding, and in many ways feels out of place to the rest of the album (IMHO).
Time Is Ticking Away Song Lyrics
People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the stories incomplete
Satisfaction, seems a million miles away
So I’m moving to another state of mind
I’m believing there’s no better place or better time
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
Little sister, put aside your fear and breath
In the secret, do you hear the voice of heaven (sayin’)
Come together, hope is stronger than it seems
Where your standing there’s no running out on love
Only human, but you’ve set your eyes on the things above
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
A chance for you, a chance for me
A chance to serve, in a time of need
A chance to live, a chance to tell
A chance to lose yourself (for somebody else)

About DC Talk Month
March 2013 is dedicated to the Christian rock pioneers DC Talk, arguably my favorite Christian CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) rock band and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month and February 2013 which was Becoming the Archetype Month. March will feature songs from most of dc Talk’s discography (1992′s Free At Last, 1995′s Jesus Freak, 1998′s Supernatural and 2000′s Intermission) featured daily throughout the month, one a day. Whether you like rock/alternative/hip-hop music, believe in God or not, check these songs out as you may be pleasantly surprised and hopefully you will discover some new-to-your-ears music to enjoy. DC Talk features lots of variety in their tunes, from hard rock to hip-hop to slow ballads that will pull on your heartstrings to singable power pop, so there will most certainly be something you’ll like.
