First impression: These chips smell awful.

Man the Chemical Plant acapella is far and away my favourite Smooth McGroove thing.

@GnomeSlice Guile's Theme is really good.

@Fluttershy I don't know that one, so the nostalgia factor isn't as good for me.

@GnomeSlice Wait what?

Chemical Plant from Sonic 2?

The Chemical Plant one is fucking amazing though.

I want to know what this is.

In other news, I was at a pig roast today and it was glorious.

@Fluttershy I WIN

@GnomeSlice No, I clicked the YouTube link.

@Fluttershy won.

You're stupid

Aaaaand, boom goes the dynamite.

@GnomeSlice That's not very nice.

If it was a race I won.

@StrixVaria You're right, I apologize.

Anyway I think bandcamp has some kind of affiliation with Apple and I hate Apple.

So I went for the non-possibly-Apple-affiliated link.

@StrixVaria What. No they don't.

Apple has iTunes. Why would Apple want to partner with a competitor.

Not sure how I got that impression then.

Bandcamp is like the most indie thing ever.

I thought bandcamp was some kind of indy self publishing offshoot of iTunes.

Bandcamp has gotten really awesome in the past year and shit.

@StrixVaria Yeah, it has absolutely zero to do with Apple.

@GnomeSlice Good to know.

@Fluttershy This is amazing.

All the shit I've bought (and paid for, doesn't include free shit)

@StrixVaria All of his stuff is fantastic!

Although tracer is free, but I donated because it's fucking amazing

Skyrim is installed

@Fluttershy But not his album art.

Download ALL the mods!

@GnomeSlice It probably looks exactly how he wanted it.

@Fluttershy I sure hope not.

@GnomeSlice What you like != what everyone else likes.

these chips are awful.

@Fluttershy It doesn't matter what I like. Ask @BenBrocka. Good musicians can have shitty album art.

They make the American chicken and waffles chips seem like a revelation.

@LessPop_MoreFizz The maple moose ones? They sounded bad.

It's pretty common actually.

@Fluttershy This is all @GnomeSlice's fault

they taste awful and smell downright foul.

@LessPop_MoreFizz Thank you for making me feel bad again.

@GnomeSlice anytime sweetcheeks.

Maple chips do sound kind of nasty

@GnomeSlice Correction: Good musicians can have album art that you think is shitty.

@Fluttershy How can you not think this is terrible

This is that whole "abrasive opinion" thing they were talking to you about the other day.

hi

It's horrible.

@GnomeSlice Wow even his album art is great!

Did he pick those colours out of a hat or what.

@GnomeSlice meow

@GnomeSlice To you. I like it.

If I end up buying any of it when I get money, I'm going to make custom album art.

@Fluttershy lol. Okay.

The Mute City one is pretty cool too.

He did To Zanarkand!

I think I wanna have his babies.

@Fluttershy This one was great even though I don't think FFX music is particularly good compared to the rest of the series.

@StrixVaria To Zanarkand and Suteki da Ne are probably the only two really good pieces of music from FFX. They also happen to be two of my favorites.

I think the best piece of Final Fantasy music was from FF9 though.

This is amazing.

@BenBrocka Are you here

@Fluttershy I wasn't trying to be insulting, I apologize if I offended you.

I just really don't like his album art.

@GnomeSlice It is okay for you not to like it.

@GnomeSlice You didn't. You were just doing that whole "abrasive opinion" thing that they were talking to you about the other day.

@StrixVaria You don't look like Fluttershy

@GnomeSlice And now you're just being downright abrasive. O_o

=P

@StrixVaria NO IT'S NOT!!!!!1

CONFORM

How are they all so good?

@Fluttershy Wasn't trying to, sorry again.

@StrixVaria My favorite Final Fantasy music.

It's not acapella though.

@Fluttershy Will listen in a bit.

I do like One Winged Angel, and the battle music for Laguna in FF8.

I haven't played FF9 enough.

Since 7 just launched on Steam, I'm hoping they release 8 and 9 also.

Although 9 was never on PC in the past, so that one might be more farfetched.

@StrixVaria @Fluttershy I'm sorry, I'm not trying to upset you guys.

Maybe I should go for a bit

@GnomeSlice You're fine, dude. Relax! I was just pointing things out.

I'm not the least bit upset right now.

@Fluttershy Same.

@Fluttershy I really like this mix of the FF9 final battle, although I don't know the original at all.

Do we still have a sandbox chatroom

The entire FF9 piano collections are pretty good from what I remember.

@StrixVaria I'll give it a listen in a bit! You should definitely play FF9 though. It's pretty great. :3

@StrixVaria @Fluttershy You guys might both like alexroe.bandcamp.com/album/chrono-ark

amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Piano-Collection-Sheet/dp/4636252624/…

I am about to buy this right now.

Campfires are fun

Vamo' Alla Flamenco is my favorite from the FF9 soundtrack

@DragonLord Also in the piano collection

It's been almost a decade since I've touched FF9, though, and I cried when I heard this song a few years ago in MIDI form on VGMusic.com...

best Kickstarter reward ever.

Apparently Morrowind and Oblivion are on Steam now.

I feel almost obliged to buy Morrowind at this price.

@StrixVaria dooooooooooooo itttttttttttttt (only came in to enable youuuuu)

It's $5 for Morrowind + both expansions.

OMG JUST DO IT

Pass

1.5 hours left for Sentinel

Speaking of amazing video game music: youtube.com/watch?v=JGhlg4JqvQw#t=1m19s

Speaking of other amazing video game music.

I skipped the link to the good part.

Well it's all good

@GnomeSlice I'm all for music without a discernible beat or with weird time signatures, but this song does not do it well.

@spugsley Hat and long dress! I like! :D

@StrixVaria Uh. This has neither of those things.

@Ktash yay! :3 The mosquitoes ate me to pieces while I did this

@GnomeSlice It's just bad then.

@StrixVaria You'd better be joking.

@GnomeSlice No, I honestly can't listen to it because it's an incomprehensible mess.

What the hell is wrong with you people

@spugsley Is that @OrigamiRob's top hat?

@StrixVaria How can you even

@_@

You're making me cry

@spugsley Way to sacrifice for your art ;)

@StrixVaria Try this one.

@GnomeSlice It isn't bad, but it's a bit too busy honestly.

It doesn't feel coherent enough.

@StrixVaria yes it is :3 He let me use it since mine isn't nearly as nice!

One more try

@StrixVaria I can't believe you're saying these things.

@GnomeSlice Best so far.

@GnomeSlice was doing a ton of editing...why would I know about good musicians having bad album art?

@BenBrocka How do you know that's what I wanted to ask you

@GnomeSlice I just assumed given the previous @

@StrixVaria lifeformed.bandcamp.com/track/the-magnetic-tree

How about that one @StrixVaria

@BenBrocka How is this guy's art smoothmcgroove.bandcamp.com

@GnomeSlice Meh.

@StrixVaria You're unbelieveable.

@GnomeSlice "fitting" would be the word I'd use. Suitably low-fi, pixels for street-cred

Not low-fi...basic I guess

@StrixVaria How about alexroe.bandcamp.com/track/evoke

It's not from a game though.

I don't know if you listen to music outside games.

Spent a bit of time on Darksiders II: Death has this air of swiftness I've never experienced with any other character I've played.

Given my experience with the Prince of Persia series, the Assassin's Creed series, and a bunch of other action-adventure games, it seems Vigil Games has gotten it right when it comes to character responsiveness, in a way Ubisoft and others don't seem to get...

Any comments on character responsiveness and Darksiders II?

I made it to 10,000 words today! YAY!

@DragonLord I've not tried, but I've heard it's very tight.

@GnomeSlice :P

@StrixVaria I'm actually kind of lost for words right now, you just shot down some of my favourite shit like it was nothing

How can you not like it

It's unfathomable

@GnomeSlice Because we have different tastes.

@StrixVaria Unfathomable

@GnomeSlice This is one of my favorite songs ever. If you didn't like it I wouldn't mind.

I haven't listened to much Dream Theatre

I thought you said you didn't like shit with crazy time signatures

lol

Yeah this is pretty dope

@StrixVaria Because it didn't do it at all

I take it you like Tool as well then

@GnomeSlice A lot but not all.
