Yeah the more I look at this Kickstarter the more I think it's just disappointing and awful. It's a mess really and the only reason I got excited about it was the name "Descent" and a 14 second video. Sad and hosed up

On the subject of playing games with the wrong soundtrack, I learned of Quake's CD support when it started playing the redbook audio on the CD for Clickteam's The Games Factory, which was intended for use in the sample game Magician's Lair. I only really recall the game's title music being used on the "hey you killed Chthon" screen, just as the proper soundtrack uses Quake's title theme for that scene; it seemed oddly fitting, even though Magician's Lair has far more upbeat music than Quake's does. Also, I already told this story a while back, but while I was testing func_mapjam2, the map "jam2_tronyn" didn't set up the audio track correctly, and thus it tried to play Track 1 of the CD. My rip of the Quake soundtrack for use in the sourceport (I think I was still on Darkplaces at the time, but I did the same for Quakespasm) obviously didn't have a Track 1 (since that's the game data track), so it resorted to a CD that I'd picked up from a thrift store and had been ripping to my hard drive earlier. Thus I wound up playing it to "Amigos Para Siempre". It's almost fitting.

I don't see the Pyro anywhere in that new Descent kickstarter, so what's the point in even backing it?

I played through Hexen listening to a Gnarls Barkley album on repeat once. Now I can't listen to Gnarls Barkley anymore for fear of flashbacks to that lovely game  I actually quite like Hexen and don't much care for Gnarls Barkley these days, but if I hear "Crazy" I do get reminded of inane switch hunts and being very confused.

I always wanted someone else I knew to own it so we could play against each other, I thought that would have been absolutely amazing. I don't remember it allowing jumping, but it's incredible how much functionality you'd get out of a 3-button controller. I'd love to see the end someday. I remember making it to the second (or third?) tower. It's been forever since I've played it.

Conversely, what game would you say you listened to the most music you got introduced to with? I played so much cs as a kid, I've listened to drat near everything with it.

site posted:Conversely, what game would you say you listened to the most music you got introduced to with? UT'99 by far. What, nobody listened to Creed's "Human Clay" album on constant repeat while playing custom UT'99 maps? Scrubs.  I can't even think of that album now without remembering the endless rounds I played in DM-Dogtown, fighting with and against a list of bots with meticulously-built personalities. Homer Simpson, Tom Servo, some sort of cartoonish Clown/Mime thing, transformers and comic book characters--they all perished under sniper fire to the tune of Creed's "What if"--a fate worse than death. It's weird because when I first experienced Quake's soundtrack, it didn't sound like much beyond ambient sounds--whirring drills and distant voices--but I listen to that album a lot nowadays, along with the rest of NIN's discography. It's almost as if the Quake soundtrack I listened to in 1996 was a completely different soundtrack. Cream-of-Plenty fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Mar 11, 2015 |

There are people who don't listen to UT99's soundtrack? UT99 has some of the best ingame music I've ever heard. Who'd want to turn that off?  UT2004 I understand though, that game has a pretty boring soundtrack.

Dude I listen to the poo poo out of the UT'99 soundtrack. I have it in my music library to listen to while I do other things, and play it practically every night when I jam out in Doom. But why wouldn't you occasionally "mix things up" by replacing that music with Creed, I'm wondering?

I never played a CD as the background music in a Quake engine game deliberately, but once I accidentally went through a Wages of SiN stealth mission with PM5K's System 11:11 on a loop because I forgot the disc was in the drive. It was working for me though, so I just let it loop for the whole mission. Edit: I might have also been drinking Bawls at the time if you really want to complete the picture SilentW posted:ZPC! gently caress, where do I get a copy of that game?

Alexander Brandon recently re-released some of his tracker works (when he was known as Chromatic Dragon, and later as Siren) on the bandcamp, but if you grab modplugtracker and take a look here, you'll be golden too. Recommending also his works from Tyrian and Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

I associate Toxicity with Best Buy, because it was my first job and a co-worker introduced me to SOAD by blasting that poo poo after-hours while we were stocking shelves and cleaning up and closing.  That was such a lovely job. My first day there, the head of the computers department told me all about how the ladies loved him to go down on them because of his handlebar mustache. He then failed to show up to all the shift meetings and was fired no less than a week after I started. Nostalgia about that time period reminds me that we don't talk about Tribes in this thread enough. Tribes and especially Tribes 2 was some pretty magical classic FPS. I miss that poo poo. I guess I should give Tribes Ascend another chance but it didn't have the same charm when I looked at it last. Anybody still playing Ascend, or for that matter, 2?
