Please forward that message to me, as well.

I practically cried because all those songs were amazing. While listening, I thought "what will become of video game music in the archives of human history?" Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc all made their mark in the history of music as pioneers of musical advancement in their time. The piano was just invented when they all became famous, so they had to learn the instrument through many performances. With that comes skill and knowledge of musical genius rarely seen today, when anyone can make "music" with just a touch of a button.

Inb4 close. Cerrax dominated this thread.

My definition of casual gamer is someone who plays games on Pogo or similar browser game sites. As many have said before, good/great games have existed along side shitty games since the dawn of the industry. Sometimes, a gem shines through the muck and mire. Like the economy, the video games industry is similar to a roller coaster; it goes up and peaks, and then it falls and has a period of suck. Just wait for that coaster to go back up. It's only a matter of time.

Happy Birthday!

That was a beautiful song. Totally blows what Guitar Hero has to offer out of the water.

And to think we've been discussing games that aren't as good as we remember. ..... I had an argument, but it disappeared. So how 'bout them daedra?

Very few games hold my interest these days. I think because in the past, there wasn't a lot of gamer magazines and the internet to do previews and shit that could possibly spoil any of the fun of playing a new game. That was the appeal; a new game to play that has introduced a new concept. Now we have GTA clones up the ass and really bad RPG's.

Me and my CS:S clan have been talking on our Vent channel since he was rushed to the hospital. Pretty intense and strange.

Happy Birthday!

I loved that games soundtrack. I blasted my stereo whenever I played it. Good to hear there is an actual orchestral version. I'll have to search for it the next time I'm at a record store.

When is it coming out? EDIT: Nevermind. Downloading it now

From a gamer that hasn't really played any of the new consoles, I'd have to say the 360 has the strongest base as far as how many solid games they've released. Seldom has a game been released that totally bombed (with the exception of those BK games). They took a hint from Nintendo's early days, looking of over the games and making sure it isn't a worthless mass of software only released to gain a quick buck.

OMG. I creamed my pants while listening to this masterpiece. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100.

I figured it out after leaving the theater after watching Episode III.

Am I too late to congratulate you on another year of existence? If not, .

I don't see it. Help, perhaps? EDIT: NVM. I just saw it. That's intense.

Happy Birthday!

Katamari Damacy, Kingdom Hearts(1 and 2), God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Dragon Quest VIII, and The Mark of Kri. Katamari for the sheer brilliance and quirkiness. Kingdom Hearts for their stories. God of War for the brutality. SotC for its awesome battles. Dragon Quest 8 for its intriguing story. The Mark of Kri for its innovative combat system My $0.02

So I heard April Fool's was epic compared to years past.

A huge smile grew on my face when I heard the trumpets start up. It's a perfect blend of ska and cheesy 90's guitar from the Sonic Adventure games. Beautifully executed, great job.

I wanted the Orange Box because of Half-Life 2. I think the Halo games are over-rated. Never beat any Mario or Sonic game. I dream that I'm the character in the games I play most. (eg. Oblivion, Counter-Strike, Half-Life 2) Not that I'm ashamed of that, I think its fucking awesome.

I'm glad you guys appreciate music. I hate it when some people won't even give some genres a chance. This song is just an example of how music has evolved from the jazz/blues days to what we have today.

Oh dude, I was listening to your ReMixes this morning. Happy Birthday.
