So, what's happened since I dropped off the face of the earth and had to climb back up?

I started this music contest thingy. We're pretty close to starting the voting, but we're just a couple nominations short of a full bracket. Maybe you can fill in that gap.

[/shameless plug]

As for other (potentially more important) happenings... uhh... we haven't had a day with more than 100 posts since the end of March...

Somebody else with better memory than me should be able to give a better answer.

I want to be President of the Great United States of America!

Failing that, a either an engineer or a programmer (outside of the game industry).

Hero Core - Tetron

Nominated by yours truly

VERSUS

Mother 3 - Love Theme

Nominated by Haz

Vote!


Also, I have one more thing for you guys to vote for today: since we have twice the number of nominations that I was planning on having, I was thinking about having this contest go twice as fast by having two matches per day. How does this sound to you guys?

Voting ends July 28 at 11 AM PST.

The Love Theme sounds decent (I guess), but I suppose that it's one of those songs that sounds better if you know the context.

Tetron's theme, on the other hand, captivated me as soon as I heard it in the trailer and augmented/was-augmented-by one of the most legitimately "epic" and intense final bosses I've experienced this year.


Still, even though I nominated it, it's not my favorite track in the game. I prefer the songs for Army Storage, Guardian Zone (10/10), and the Core. However, I felt that my obession with those songs was a result of some rather strange eccentricities of my musical tastes, so decided to go with the game's most "awesome"/"epic" song instead.

Both songs are good, but when trying to compare them I can't help but feel rather indifferent. I'm going to abstain for this round, unless a tiebreaker is needed.

Match 3 is a tad difficult considering the songs have drastically different tones. However, after listening to both songs several times, I've determined that (for me) Please! Help Me! has more staying power.

For Match 4, I'm going to vote for the Mega Man 3 song, even though I don't think it's that good. Tales music, while competent, rarely does anything for me.

Match 5 is actually pretty tough. I nominated the F-Zero song because I really like oppressive-sounding songs, but man that Ocean theme is good. I'll have to think about this one for a bit. EDIT: I'm voting for my nomination (Chapter 6).


Match 6 is easy. The Decisive Battle is a much more engaging song.

I'm curious to know why people put icons and things on their desktops. Wouldn't that mean you would have to minimize everything every time you wanted to get to something on the desktop?

Every version of Windows since 95 (possibly earlier) has had some sort of button that minimizes everthing automatically.

Match 9: The SMG2 song reminds of why I'm not particularly fond of orchestrated game music. Clash on Big Bridge, on the other hand, is a really really good battle theme. Not top tier, by any means, but still excellent.

Match 10: Field of Expel tries too hard (especially for a world map song). Within the Giant manages to be much simpler and much better. I could listen to it, like, forever (dude).

Uematsu wins this round.

Brackets A and B are being treated as one super-bracket. The only reason they're separate is because this contest was originally going to have 32 songs, but then it expanded to 64 songs. I would have just expanded the bracket to 64 songs, but Bracket-Maker seems incapable of changing the size of a bracket after it's been made, so I just made an extra bracket.

I don't really like either song for Match 11, but Fury Sparks at least has the decency to not bore me to death.

Match 12 is considerably more difficult. I'll have to think about this for a bit. EDIT: I'll have to go with the Zelda song. It's rather soothing.
