Loooooooooved it! Absolutely fantastic. Chorus especially, just really keen on the words. <3

I read the entire comments list before submitting my own, and found another rendition of this source track done by Nekofrog. Nekofrog does better at making the source his bitch, in my opinion. With that out of the way... Sixto your solo is flat out awesome. I would have loved to hear more variation on your guitar rhythm, like what you pulled off (in closing) around the 4:05 mark.

Just listened to Portisheads album Third, and one track, Machine Gun, is titular and reminscent to a few different VGM tunes I've heard. Anyone else out there know of any artists/tracks that are reminiscent of VGM?

Rust In Peace, metal god. \m/ My bud called me about this after work yesterday so we took a few pils and went to the beach on a rainy afternoon, set up a boombox with Dio and started singing the classics. Metal pioneer and great humanitarian to boot! The world is a little less for his passing, but alot better for his time when he was with us.

I didn't bother reading the OP linked marketing sham, but I'll touch upon the ones I remember: 1) Gyromite showcased a miniature version of Johnny 5 that helped you keep the good doctor alive in his hellish pipe dreams. Too bad my allowance at that age couldn't keep his E-tanks full 2) You wanna talk about gimmicky peripherals? N64! You don't need to look farther than the controller... I mean come on whats the point of the D-pad in 70% of the games. Gaming never gave me blisters until Mario Party 2 on N64. 3) I was ultra-stoked when first word of a multi-player Zelda reached me.... until I learned it required 4 GBAs, 4 copies of the game, and 3 $%$^*$%#^#$%^& Link cables! I mean COMON! (said like Gob) 4) Nintendo Wii requires periphery due to the design of it, but the one that irked me was the first party "zapper" gun mount for the Wiimote and nunchuck. It really only worked for rail shooters like House of the Dead, and for those, it worked wonders. GL in games like Resident Evil 4 though... better off saving your cash. 5) Game-specific keyboards have been available on the market for your various forms of MMO-crack, whichever flavor you favor. They all serve the same purpose. A fool and his money are soon parted. If you need a graphic printed directly on your number pad to tell you what the key does, then I hope to PvP Vs You in the near future. =-) I don't understand the hate people have for the Wiifit board. Granted I've only tried it with a rabbid rabbits game (they crack me up over there at Ubisoft) but I thought it was the cats meow!

I realized the majority of you listen to the video game music of the games your playing as you play them, but then I thought to myself, "Self! You do not listen to computer game music when you play computer games, as you have so much more music already playing!" So I ask, with no small amount of anticipation, what are some of the songs that get your gaming groove going when you listen to stuff published by non-VGM artists? I generally play strategy games or shooters on the ol' PC, so to that effect I love listening to classical or instrumental music like Apocalyptica or the Kronos Quartet for the former, industrial anger-filled audio like Nine inch Nails or Psyclon Nine for the latter. To name a few.
