The top of the page shows you were to download the Falcosoft midi player and the XG VST.

As a bonus here's a site with some original xg midi music from composers from around the world, very cool!

South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) says Valve agreed to cooperate in taking down a mod that “distorted historical facts” related to the Gwangju Uprising, a pivotal event in the country’s history (as reported by ThisIsGame).

The mod in question is a fan-made total conversion mod of the hit strategy RPG Mount & Blade: Warband, originally uploaded to the game’s Steam Workshop page. Titled “Gwangju Running Man,” the mod transformed Mount & Blade: Warband’s medieval setting into a modern depiction of Korea’s Gwangju Democratization Movement.

The Gwangju Uprising was a series of student-led pro-democratic demonstrations that took place in Korea in 1980. These protests are known to have been violently suppressed by the military, resulting in a massacre of civilians, but the mod depicted protesters as armed and violent criminals (according to YNA), thus framing the military regime’s brutality as justified. Additionally, the mod brandished the image of military dictator Chun Doo Hwan as its cover.

South Korean press speculates that the uploader may have been Chinese, based on reviews by the account being written in Simplified Chinese. However, users online argue that these may be a “cover,” as denial of the Gwangju massacre is more likely to come from Korea’s own far right groups than from abroad. In response to reports, GRAC initially had the Mount & Blade: Warband mod blocked in South Korea, but subsequently teamed up with the Korean government to ask Valve to have the mod suspended worldwide.

Valve complied, and the Gwangju Running Man mod was deleted from Steam as of June 12. Valve commented that it recognizes the importance the historical event has for Korean people. This is a somewhat rare instance of the platform taking acting upon local political and historical sensitivities.

God its so fucking good. I've never played a story-heavy game and then wanted to immediately replay it. I've played through chapters 3 and 4 twice in the past month and I wanna replay it again already. Honestly if you haven't played it, and you have any interest in story games, I recommend jumping in now. The release of chapters is such a fun and exciting time and I wouldn't wanna miss future releases. Also if you don't want to play, at least check out the OST because its without a doubt the best I've ever heard.

They went a bit crazy with game design, and as you can hear, flutes and drums.

An ARPG that predates Diablo, when starting a new game you got to choose your party of 3 out of 6 characters. Depending on who you pick as your first character, the end game will branch into one of three different areas and then final boss. The linked song only plays in one of those areas, meaning that only one in three players who finished the game once even got to hear it.

I plan on playing the remake of the 1st eventually too, I've just heard BioShock takes more after 2 specifically than 1, and that the games are fairly stand-alone so I won't be too lost just jumping in at the sequel.

If you're a midi head like me who has nostalgia for these tracks, this is imo the best way to play the game and listen to Uematsu's score outside of the psx sound chip.
