Rhymetorrents has released an excellent compilation of Halloween-themed nerdcore hip hop tracks free on their site. There’s quite a bit of first-person zombie shooting, vampire berating, Satan-hating, and even some dice-rolling and router-rebooting gone wrong. Here’s some of the standout tracks:

Rocket Propelled Geeks – “No Carrier” [NSFR*]
What if you power-cycled your router to reboot your internet connection but ended up resurrecting the internet itself? Think of how scary it would be to have a cat watching you from the ceiling and a bunch of Nigerians in your living room.

MC Lars & MC Chris – “Roommate From Hell (Ice & Fire Mix)”
You’d be regretting not trying to find off-campus housing on Craigslist if your dorm roommate ended up being the Prince of Darkness himself.

Able-X – “Dark times”
A funky, bleepy, creepy take on Armageddon.

MC Loki – “Prince Of The City”
More of the n00b pwning.

High-C – “Schizo” [NSFR]
Best line: “I’m dropping more than clues if you want to hunt the Wumpus but you couldn’t find your rump with a motherf***ing compass”

ZeaLouS1 – “Zombie Killa”
A geeksta rap about owning zombies.

*Not Safe For Radio

Here’s the entire compilation: Rhyme Torrents Halloween 2.0.

Guys you’ve lusted after our Molecule Jewelry for a long time and were briefly placated by our Testosterone Keychain. Now here’s your chance to proudly sport serotonin on your person: the Serotonin Tie Tack.

Serotonin is responsible for the regulation of mood, sleep, and appetite, among other things, and low levels of it can be responsible for anger and aggression. So if you’re suffering through a boring presentation by a bunch incompetent underlings right before lunch, glance down at your stylish tie tack and remember to keep your cool.

Here’s an interesting blog featuring tracks from video game soundtracks, along with a bit of insightful commentary and historical context. Not only do they include symphonic renditions of tracks from Final Fantasy, there are nods to more obscure tracks such as the medievel-eque vocal track“You Were There” from ICO [PS2], “Let Mom Sleep,” the breakdance-inspiring title track from Jet Grind Radio [Dreamcast], the brooding, Eastern-European “Waiting For Action” track that opens Hitman 2 [Mult.], and the instrumental 90s-Jrock combat accompaniment, “Blue Water, Blue Sky “ from Guilty Gear X [Arcade].

I had Hitman 2 for the PC and loved the puzzle-solving / strategy aspect combined with the creeipiness of the environment and badass factor. Hearing the soundtrack makes me want to dig up those disks and pretend to be a bald super assassin once again.

• The Super Mario Brothers Flautist with beatboxing added
• Beating Super Mario Brothers in 5 minutes *SPOILER*
• The Super Mario Bros. theme song played on two Tesla Coils The nerdiest of the nerdiest.
• If you’re feeling bummed you can’t play the original SMB in 3D like your current favorite games, now you can
• Line Rider, Super Mario Bros. Style. No doubt you’ve played with making a track for the scarf-sporting little “dude” in Line Rider, but I bet you haven’t seen him ace the first level of SMB.
• How about Mario Bros. World of Warcraft style?
• Or even better, Live Action / Talent Show style.
• And the best alternate-universe version, a crazy Mario world that’s like a bad dream or extreme food poisoning where flower pipes float and gravity is somewhat… unusual
