Quick Questions XIV: A Question Reasked (Part 1)

maybe

Video is timestamped for a particular song. Does anyone recognize the extremely bizarre noisy repeating melody in the right channel?

I swear to god I have heard this in another game, and I can’t place it. The melody that comes in on the left channel seems unfamiliar.

Paging @ellaguro because I feel like I heard it in one of your digital mixtapes but…maybe not.

if it helps this was composed by Jeroen Tel who I guess did a bunch of C64 stuff? This whole soundtrack is absolutely bizarre in the best way. (yes i’m doing research for pulse wave)

the version i used was from the NES Bram Stoker’s Dracula. it was famously made fun of on the Angry VG Nerd show for being a “scrambled mess” or some other nonsense:

OH there it is!! for some reason searching for it on my music player didn’t bring up this track. Thank you!!

it is the same melody huh? The speed change definitely messed with me.

god this is such a good song, this whole soundtrack owns

the speed change might be due to the difference between PAL and NTSC regions.

this is the part where he makes fun of the song on the Angry VG Nerd btw, lol

that’s a pretty mild criticism lol. i sorta like AVGN in retrospect because he’s actually like, way milder than most screamy youtube video game dipshits.

but i also hate avgn in retrospect because he became the vanguard of “loudly hating a game” that enabled a whole culture of screamy youtube video game dipshits.

there’s a world of difference in dignity alone between posting and carrying on like a goofy jackass on video

The medium outweighs the message then?

I think the distinction people are trying to make right now is that there is a line between criticizing things and manufacturing outrage as entertainment.

Unfortunately, people vastly prefer the latter.

This is entirely true

avgn is a hilarious troll and its not his fault people took him at face value. like his sequels video alone makes it pretty obvious its a bit. i never understood all the AVGN clones that came later that were just ‘avgn but sincerely’

also avgn went on todd tuckeys arcade machine fixing channel so that gives him points

avgn sucks because he made everyone think dark castle is a terrible game when it was just the ports, and the original was a mac classic that was ground breaking in many ways, maybe he would know that if he wasnt such a fucking CASUAL, try doing research asswipe

also his videos arent funny

i made fun of him in my video about dark castle and every now and then i get dipshits getting all defensive about it in the comments lol

is the emulator pSX still around?

Hasn’t been updated since 2008 and is closed-source. Only thing notable about it these days it seems is that it has low system requirements so I remember there being a version for it ported to the OG Xbox and such.
