Dustforce!

Nice little game from Hitbox Team
Download here!

crazy gameplay video:

foobar2000

My music player of choice: functional; free; fantastic. Grab it here! I find that most people are put off by its vanilla appearance and daunted when they see the levels of customisation available. Worry not! there are loads of people that have made stunning skins. I use NightLife by TheSmurth; you can probably find a load of great ones by looking here.

While versatile out of the box this can be enhanced by the staggering amount of components you can add on. Here are some of the notable ones that I use:

foo_audioscrobbler

foo_edcast grab it here

foo_discogs

foo_dumb

foo_scheduler

I'll add more stuff to this as I think of it.

Notch + Sonic Fan Remix

Tripping balls and other things

I found this quite an interesting read.
