    Movies are entertainment. Films are art. Masterpieces are both.

    Do you listen to soundtracks from games you've never played?

    EDIT

    JODO KAST Thank you for that link and for mentioning Crows Claw. I just youtubed "Immortal Madness". If this is an average venture into their music, I will be spending some time getting more acquainted with them.

    You're welcome. You can occasionally find some of their cds on ebay, through the seller champ_des_pins. That's where I got most of my Crow's Claw music. For the remainder I had to scour the internet. One thing to keep in mind is they always use PAEG in their catalog numbers, which stands for "PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT GUITAR". They also make original music (not from video games) and what I've heard is insanely cool.

    is all of their stuff like "Blacker than the Blackest Black" or do they have less... metal stuff?

    cause that album was way too metal for me but I'm not above trying their other stuff

    You're not kidding. It's solid metal, really dark. I've heard most of their albums and I'd recommend "17 Division" or "Broken Phantasm" if you want something a little lighter.

    Here are a few of their albums (for sampling):

    The last one on the list is "17 Division". Crossfire Barrage and Frozen Frog both arrange music from Touhou, rather heavily. But no where near as heavy as "Brutal Games for Reminding of Death".

    I've listened to a few soundtracks from games I've never played. A few hundred, quite close to 1,000. That's typical, though, of people like myself; those that are a little bit not normal when it comes to game music. My latest discovery is the Touhou series and there have been a few albums made covering that music (more than 1,500). Crow's Claw (a Japanese doujin group) is the master of arranging Touhou music, by a long shot.

    A few others that I've never played (but with great music):

    Lord of Vermilion (Nobuo Uematsu), Etrian Odyssey (Yuzo Koshiro), Cyber Org (Yoshihiro Sato), Death Smiles (Manabu Namiki), DoDonPachi ~A Peaceful Death~ (Manabu Namiki), Romancing SaGa series (Kenji Ito), Wizardry series (mostly Kentaro Haneda), OZ (Michiru Yamane).

    And Dracula X. It would be mightily expensive to play the original, as PC Engines are not cheap, nor is the game itself. I did play the SNES remake, but that doesn't count.

    Oh, and every Castlevania game released for the Nintendo DS (3 of them, I believe). All badass music.

    Not So Known Video Game Music

    I'm making a playlist on Youtube of not so known video game music. I have 15 right now.

    Updated this link:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNMTvSSZfU&feature=PlayList&p=BB57DB322EB55970&index=0&playnext=1

    Any comments are appreciated.

    I hope this list helps people look for songs that aren't remixed all the time.

    I listened to the NSN playlist and this one was my favorite:

    Madou Monogatari "14-Cave"

    I didn't recognize any of the music despite having heard more than 1,000 game soundtracks. Considering that there are probably more than 50,000 game soundtracks by now, one could never known the 'genre' entire.

    Here's one that qualifies as 'NSN':

    http://www.mediafire.com/?yijzzznztzm

    It's an arrange album from a Super Famicom game called 'Sword Maniac'.

    Math

    From my point of view, math is entirely tolerable with the exception of proofs. I enjoyed calculus and differential equations, but when I took advanced calculus (which was all proofs), I had to drop the course. I can do proofs, much like I can clean outhouses. In other words, proofs and outhouse cleaning are equally pleasurable.
