Riptor posted:Nuclear Strike or one of its predecessors? No, IIRC this one didn't have a story or any other enemies on the map than the opposing team(s), where every team had an identical base and the same three-vehicle setup. I vaguely remember there being some rock-paper-scissors mechanics to the gameplay as well where every vehicle was strong against one other but weaker against another. Like the tank could easily blow away the jeep, but was vulnerable to the chopper's missiles, and so on. EDIT: Found it! It was Return Fire. Turns out it was actually four different playable vehicles.

It doesn't help that the lyrics are super generic and his voice is super common sounding. It's a decent song, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was like a one off for a movie or something.

There's a book that's mostly empty pages but with some text in the middle or thereabouts, and the title is something like Arial Oblique or something, maybe a year as well.

I'm far from fluent in french, but it sounds kinda like "je n'ai tu tu as", which didn't really help anything in my google search. If I had to guess, I would assume this was some french-canadian band, but it does seem kinda odd that something from relatively recently and so well produced could be so elusive, even if it were just some sort of one off filler song from some obscure show/movie

This is not enough information to accomplish anything but you lot have had some amazing catches so here goes: Back in 2002 I went and saw KoRn at Philips Arena. There was some music playing before the show (as venues do) and there was this one song I absolutely loved. This was pre-Shazam and no amount of Googling when I got home then up until today has given me any correct results. I *think* the chorus lead in is "I'm the best, motherfucker," with the end of "motherfucker" really stretched out and growly. Fit in well with the generic early 2000s hard rock/industrial/nu-metal thing going on in the era.

Back when I worked in retail we had such a system with some admittedly really catchy songs that i'd never heard before, and half the fun was googling the lyrics later to try to identify them. Most of them, I couldn't. This really does sound an awful lot like the kind of thing our store used to play. Catchy, memorable, but unidentifiable. It's driving me crazy trying to find out, to be honest!

Maybe a long shot but w/e here goes. Can anyone identify what song this is a midi of? https://voca.ro/7jZH0648Bun My only context for it is somebody using it as background music for a computer paper doll program when I was a kid. A lot of those tended to have pop songs or video game bgms play on loop (My Oh My by Aqua or At The Bottom Of Night from Chrono Trigger for example are ones I've been able to identify on my own), never could figure this one out though Entirely possible it was just some royalty free poo poo that got passed around back in the day but hoping it has more of a backstory For what it's worth the paper doll in question was a Sailor Moon character so it could've been a midi of some anime image song I'm not familiar with as well

I think a late season simpsons episode used it and it’s in a lot of media. Somebody probably answered already but this is almost 100% Hoedown, from Rodeo composed by Aaron Copland.

I wonder if the .mp3 file itself has any additional data, like the album name it came from or the release date. I'd imagine they probably already checked, but sometimes it's easy to overlook things that seem obvious.

I was driving through northern New Mexico about 12 years ago when I heard a cover of "Papito" by Manu Chao on the radio. That it was a cover of this song is all I was able to determine. It was in a completely different style from the original. It was sung by a woman who sounded almost exactly like the character Milla Vodello from Psychonauts. I've had no luck tracking this down.

I'm trying to find a puzzle book from the 80's or early 90's It was a short book with large pages, fully illustrated drawn with detailed lord of the rings style art, like this: Very detailed line work and a quasi medieval motif. It was 20-30 or so pages of wizard challenges. The story was minimal, the artwork was everything. You had full page puzzles to solve like picking which tap to shut off to stop a maze of pipes from flowing. The other puzzle I remember was a large double page spread of a Wizard/Magicians workshop where you had to find a ring. I never found that drat ring, so its a challenge within a challenge. It is not "The Merlin Mystery" or "The Key to the Kingdom", nor is it anything else listed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Puzzle_books The cover was red or had a red border. Find that book, then find the ring in that book and I can suffer a few less sleepless nights.

Sadly no, none of the Christopher Mason books are it. Though the title for "Practical Alchemist" sounds exactly like what I'm looking for, sadly it is not it either. oh poo poo, but you did lead me to it via Goodreads puzzle books list. Its "The Tasks of Tantalon"  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2571171-the-tasks-of-tantalon Thanks! Next I'll buy a copy and post that god drat find a ring puzzle.
