8-bit Jesus, the NES themed chiptune holiday album

8bitjesus.jpgIf you Blip Festers haven't come home all burnt out on square waves, the wonderfully named Doctor Octoroc has uploaded a 9-track preview of his unfinished (how many more can he come up with?) Christmas chip-tune album, each song done in the style of a different NES game from 'Little Drummer Nemo' to 'The Legend of Noel' to 'Super Jingle Bros.'

Try as I might, I can't come up with any suggestions for the second half (due by the new year, at the latest) better than one commenter's wish for "a Metroid title music inspired 'Silent Night.'"

In the webcomic Something Positive, two of the main cast of SP have a webcomic of their own, which is never actually seen. At least one of the main characters of that fiction webcomics is called... 8-bit Jesus.

A recent strip featuring an SP character in costume as 8-bit Jesus, encountering some fans. And no, this strip isn't typical of the series.

This is the awesomest of the awesome.

Is there a good source for this kind of stuff anyone can recommend?
