YouTube Channel, Killing Floor MP3s

Image A YouTube channel (zyntheticOfficial) has been created for various odds and ends of video. I've been getting a lot of tab request for several Killing Floor songs. Making a video takes far less time and may prove to be more helpful. Abandon All is the first How-To of these and I may do more as time goes by.

I also wanted to address MP3s of Killing Floor music (no, they aren't here). The fact that people are making MP3s out of the game music and sharing them is a completely different issue, the topic is really how it's done and the lack of understanding of what options there are for listeners.
I don't like people being taken advantage of, neither do I welcome the possibility of being misrepresented in that process. To make things clear, I nor anyone at Tripwire have released any of the music that comes with the game in any other format than Ogg Vorbis. Therefore it's impossible for any of these "high quality" rips to be better or even as good as the music that ships with the game. Yes, the music comes with the game and you'll find it if you look in the Music folder. The only problem may be playing it since some hardware and software manufacturers have been slow or reluctant to offer support despite their popularity.
Ogg Vorbis has been a widely accepted royalty-free alternative to mp3 for years and by using a media player that doesn't support it you're being artificially limited to what media you can actually enjoy. Transcoding one lossy format (ogg) to another (mp3) undeniably produces a lower quality version. It doesn't matter how high the bitrate is, it still suffers the same degradation of being a second generation copy, much like copying a cassette to another cassette.
The solution would be to use a media player that isn't crippled and take advantage of the content you already have.
 
Now on Facebook, Twitter.
Just a quick update to show that I caved and am now on Facebook . You can also follow me on Twitter for less newsworthy but perhaps interesting updates. If there are any other networking sites that you think I absolutely need to be on please tell me . While it may be in good faith, creating an account yourself to promote my music or whatever as myself is really very counter productive and does more to work against any good intentions you may have had.
 
PLAY - CBP3 Soundtrack Release
Image Long overdue but better late than never, [PLAY] - The Community Bonus Pack 3 Original Soundtrack is now available for download. Each song has been remastered and arranged for a better listening experience outside of the game. Album art and six songs adding up to just over 30 minutes are available for instant streaming or as a free download in several different formats and bitrates. Head over to the release page for more information and download links.
 
Killing Floor PC DVD In Stores Now

ImageKilling Floor has made it's way in EU and US stores via physical DVD. A great opportunity to pick up a great game for anyone that couldn't or wouldn't use the Steam store or just felt that buying games isn't the same without the unmatched love only an inanimate object can give you (ie: digital only copies). If you'd rather stay out of meatspace you can order a copy from GoGamer (EU version), Amazon (US version) or any other reputable etailer.
Even though the game is "out" there's still a lot of goings on. Community map contests and official content additions have been coming out quickly along side gameplay and stability improvements. Right now I'm working on several cool projects (mystery and intrigue) that should be a nice surprise for fans and as long as we have players supporting the game the chances of getting new and frequent official content are very good.
 
Killing Floor - Released!

Killing Floor , the new zombie action game from Tripwire Interactive - makers of Red Orchestra, is now available via Steam. Killing Floor features mutiplayer co-op action for up to six players, over 40 Steam acheivements, persistent perks to level up your character and a solo game mode for offline play.

Since it was available for Pre-Order, Killing Floor has floated among the top 5 hottest selling games on Steam and for the past couple days has held the #1 spot! The reception has far exceeded my expectations and working on Killing Floor with Tripwire has been fantastic. It's hard to find the right words to convey the gratification of watching Killing Floor go from a small mod community to be one of the most popular titles on the biggest digitial distribution service in the world. It's been a long four years but it goes to show: stick to your guns, because sooner or later the inevitable zombie/specimen outbreak is going to happen.

 
Killing Floor Going Retail

So it's time to confess why I've been silently unavailable the past several months.
