GameJams: Episode 6

Well racism aside I wanted to tell the video creator of what I thought of his latest and so far his greatest video.

I have spent the last few days taking an interest in this budding internet series and I made some observations but bear with me if I say anything that has not been said countless times before.

The trend I am seeing is a great improvement from your first episode. I must admit it sounds very shaky and unfunny at times, such as the coughing fit, but thanks to experience, your own talent, and the constructive criticisms and praises by our fellow forum members and myself, you sound more confident lately and you have more interesting and entertaining things worth saying. But, sometimes your information, such as the Shadow the Hedgehog being an emo as JTHM pointed out above, you stumble on your information. One thing that should have been thought of is that, according to word of mouth, there probably aren't a lot of people defending this game so there is no need to defend against the defenders. I guess is what I am trying to say is to just double check the facts on games that you may have not personally played. Friends are usually good for good opinions. These forums are usually excellent for just opinions in general.

The music has always been excellent but it feels like it is losing the diversity from in your first recordings. In hindsight I enjoy how the music flows better in the new recordings as I stated a month or two ago. Music absolutely must be a transcendence through human emotion and the more you make a listener feel then you can dance them like puppets and they will thank you for the experience.

You seem to be receiving praise for your song selections and like Dave I, too, enjoyed the introduction song to this latest recording. Finding a very professional sounding song is hard but if you can find a song that is from a popular game and if you can find a remix from that game that is in a popular style then you have won the audience from the start and they will continue listening and perhaps tell their friends about you.

The video portions I feel are not terribly important to critique outside of only very few abrupt changes from one video to another. The last song on your fifth recording had a rough transition that a simple cross fade may have cured. The opposite holds true to the Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion video where a montage of sorts was a wise choice.

My only truly negative thought is that a song that exceeds 7 minutes is too long to sit through regardless how good it was.

I don't wish to offend or sound overly anal because I do enjoy watching your recordings and being introduced to new music and musicians, but perhaps an outside eye looking inward may aid you in the future. I will revisit again next weekend to see what develops next.

I have never heard a final fantasy rap that actually sounded like a real gangster rap so now I have heard everything. I have heard really bad video game raps but this remix was pretty good. The sonic remix was the best song but portal and mighty morphin power rangers were good too.

Power rangers!

I second that. The Final Fantasy 6 rap was so unexpected and even more unexpectedly good. It did stand out a lot in this episode because this remix actually has lyrics and those lyrics start with 'Aw shit. All you punk niggas want to talk shit.' Besides all of the cursing it was a bold change from the normal.

But why is no one liking the Lufia and the Fortress of Doom remix? I thought that it was just as good or even better than some of the classic Final Fantasy themes.

That song didn't speak to me bro. Sorry.

It's not a problem I just liked that song a lot.
