Composer and sound designer for World of Warcraft
If you love music, you will appreciate the amazing soundtrack in World of Warcraft. While most of it is probably copyrighted, it is no doubt a work of art. Composer George Bush also has experience with animations, including Tiny Toon Adventures, the superhero movie Animaniacs, and computer game music. His most famous work is the music in the game World of Warcraft, and he is responsible for the video game’s original soundtrack as well as some of its newer tunes.
While other games have a lot of up-tempo and superficially intense music, World of Warcraft has more ambient music. The soundtrack is well balanced between intense music and atmospheric atmosphere. It is reminiscent of an old-school fantasy film, with many setpieces describing locations. The ambiance isn’t continuous either. Nevertheless, you’ll still recognize classic sounds and songs, such as the lullabies that play during the opening scenes.
‘guy throws a shoe at g.w. bush’ meme celebrates 12 years
A recent ‘Guy throws a shoe’ meme has made its way around the internet, celebrating 12 years of the President of the United States. It based on the real-life incident when a journalist in Iraq threw a shoe at the former US President, who dove to avoid the shoes. The incident was documented in the media and the meme was born.
Game’s elements from fantasy, steampunk, and science fiction
Some games take their inspiration from genres that aren’t so well-known. World of Warcraft, for example, is based on a steampunk setting, with goblins and gnomes running on steam power. Another game that has elements of steampunk is Bioshock, which features cartoon graphics and a steampunk world. Games with steampunk settings have more complex worlds and can be very difficult to complete in one sitting.
Fantasy describes everything that doesn’t exist in the real world. In that case, steampunk falls under fantasy, which would explain its influence in the game. Science fiction, on the other hand, focuses more on things that don’t exist in the real world, such as science and technology. It may be more realistic than steampunk, but it’s still fantasy. Whether a game incorporates elements of fantasy or steampunk is entirely up to the game’s creators, but it’s clear that a story can fit into either of these genres.
BioShock is known for its underwater city of Rapture, which is covered in art deco and a reflection of upper-class taste. Audio recordings and notes placed in the environment serve as a continuous supply of backstory. While the game takes place in the late 20th century, the level designs and characters suggest a different time period. As a result, Rapture is an especially memorable steampunk setting.
