Honestly I think gameplay concerns should run secondary to concerns of narrative in games driven by narrative (although the reaction button did sort of detract from the gameplay at points, certainly). Yes, I just said that, go ahead and mock me, Miko.
you really do often come across as actively wanting people to be angry at you.
Honestly that was just me trying to prepare myself because I don't want to get into a bitter nasty argument over that particular thing.
"Yes, I just said that, go ahead and mock me, Miko. " does not sound like trying to avoid a nasty argument, it sounds much more like trying to intentionally create one.
see, whenever i hear video game music outside of the game that it's in it just seems flat and lifeless
same goes for (most) movie soundtracks
because it's designed to support something and without the thing it's supposed to be supporting it just doesn't work for me regardless of how well composed it is.
because video game music is hella lame #shotsfired
Yume Nikki had a great soundtrack.
All told though I find a lot of the time people gush about VGM and I don't understand why.
Well, tastes in music are a thing that varies quite a bit, and there's also a lot of associating game music with enjoyment of the game itself.
I usually try to wait like six months or so and then see if I'm still thinking about the music and getting it in my head without thinking of the game first. If so then I probably like it.

I think there's also a thing about western games and movies more frequently having music that's more ambient and less tuneful or memorable.
Game soundtracks, full stop. You know how people say they're just dumb beeps and blips? They are. To people on YouTube who replace the music in their gameplay vids: I salute you for not making your viewers puke to death from the horrible beep sounds.

is this something you agree with or is this something you're posting because you disagree with it
Video game music tends to work better when you are already familiar with its context in-game. Soundtracks are about mingling with other aspects of the experience for maximum emotional impact, so oftentimes, divorced from that, they don't hold much weight.
@Odradek: does that post mean that you don't think much of videogame music?
@Kexruct: well, not necessarily. Sometimes they are works of standalone merit (aside from looping, but that's a whole nother issue) that just add additional meaning to a scene or area. This tends to be less the case with ambient tracks and more the case with older tracks that were of the catchier, more attention-keeping sort.

The Firefox revamp wasn't exactly a secret--I first saw it myself some months back when I played with an alpha version--but it only just hit the "stable" release channel a couple days ago, so a lot of people are seeing it for the first time as their browsers auto-update...

Although the bonkers ones from the countries that don't actually expect to win are the best.
Very true, although there didn't seem to be many bonkers/out there songs this year, aside from Poland's. And Austria's performer and her song were actually really, really good this year.

I'm up to the Saved by the Bell review now...the jokes have been getting better, and his rhythm is improving (I noticed that his comedy beats and diction were kind of forced on the Space Jam review).
I know one thing, though: This is a whole lot more pleasant to watch now, 6 years later, after the most irritating fanboys have moved on, and the phenomenon of That Guy with the Glasses has boiled off.

I remember being frustrated that tropers considered every word out of the Critic's mouth to be gospel truth

I remember that, too, and I also participated in some of it myself. I think it was actually sitting down and watching The Garbage Pail Kids Movie unriffed that made me stop taking his reviews so seriously.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead

...actually come to think of it I like the stuff that Ben Frost has done for soundtracks
maybe because his non-soundtrack stuff already has a sort of "soundtrack for an invisible movie" quality to it.
and occasionally a person pronouncing nonsense to the tune of a melody
depends on the tune in question, y'know

I do not hate videogame music
edit: oh i see, it became an administrivia page that's locked.
Whether that means it holds any weight outside of the game it was composed for is another matter entirely.
Also, this is pretty interesting
where you can remember like every single plot detail from a thing
but not the name of the thing
I FOUND IT
