Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has posted three new songs online.
It is unknown whether the songs,’Final Days’, ’Happiness’ and’Medicate’, have been written forKorn or for the solo album Davis has hinted about releasing in the past.
Listen to them by clicking below.
Davis played solo shows in 2008, including an appearance at theDownload Festival. However, his only solo output so far is a live album, ‘Alone I Play’, recorded that year.
Last month Korn guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer said the band were working on new material for their 10th studio album. He said that recording wouldn’t start until April, giving more credence to the notion that these new songs are part of Davis’ solo canon.
A developer who worked on the very first Grand Theft Auto has revealed that the game came extremely close to being canned completely, but was saved by a lucky bug that turned all of the police cars in the game into psychopathic maniacs.
“It never really felt like it was going anywhere”. Said Designer Gary Penn .”It was almost canned. The publisher, BMG Interactive, wanted to can it, as it didn’t seem to be going anywhere.”
Penn cites two critical reasons why the game was failing. The first was that the game would constantly crash, and was too unstable to even test. “The other thing that was a problem”, explains Penn, “was the handling — the car handling was appalling. The core of playing was fundamentally broken.”
Penn claims that a fortuitous bug turned the game around, when a quirk of coding caused the police cars in the game to become very, very angry. “One day, I think it was a bug, the police suddenly became mental and aggressive. It was because they were trying to drive through you. Their route finding was screwed I think and that was an awesome moment because suddenly the real drama where, ‘Oh my God, the police are psycho — they’re trying to ram me off the road.’”
With January traditionally being a slow month for retail in general. Some PC developers have gone the way of the app. store and were starting to enjoy some legitimately free games that are actually good. If you’ve never given an MMO a proper attempt, a good and free place to start would be Champions Online.
