Sometimes small candy stores etc in Japan keep cabs outside near the entrance, sometimes these have little wheels to make em easier to move, it probably got blown by strong winds in a typhoon or something

Driving at night people found an arcade cabinet in the middle of the road unexpectedly, pushed outside by the storm and flooding. It was a fighting game, and someone had written on the side of the cabinet how to perform the famous 'dragon punch' technique from street fighter. The typhoon is still ongoing and very dangerous so please stay at home" Or maybe it fell off a truck, IDK.

Acid is a dude. I think you're all discounting that he deliberately lies to people to scam/manipulate them and is good at doing it (see Rufus jumping in to defend him every time he's brought up). I wish someone had tipped off the IRS about him because among other things, he was definitely a tax cheat to the tune of thousands of dollars.

I finally got around to putting the parts together for my PS2 to read off SD. I bought most of the parts ages ago, but the IDE-Laptop IDE adapter didn't fit right, so I just said fuckit for like a year. I added on a ribbon cable SD card extender to make it easier to change the games I have stored.  I'm just going to keep it taped to the back until I'm sure it's not just going to fail on me. If it makes it long enough, I'll run it through the empty space where a hard drive should be and mount it out the front of the system.

Some folks asked me why I was even trying to help a bunch of miserable ungrateful fucks. They had a good point. Take some time to ruminate upon these truths. When someone tries to help you get unfucked by a hosed thing the answer is to not scream incoherently and gently caress yourself harder. (Also I don't know or really give a gently caress what gender Acid or anyone else is. Especially in an online subforum devoted to nerd poo poo. It's more are you an rear end in a top hat or not. And while Acid has never been an rear end in a top hat to me what happened to other people is in fact unacceptable and hosed UP.)

I didn't like the music in Galactic Attack (aka Rayforce and Layer Section) on the Saturn, so I always put on Orbit's Libido Speedway. It synced up so "Medicine" came on during the shaft-dive level. I never could make it more than twenty minutes into the game, so to this day I remember the first six or seven songs of the album very well and couldn't tell you a thing about the second half.

Zaphod42 posted:Mario RPG is forever tied to the Matchbox 20 album you or someone like yourself for me because I got both as gifts at the same age. You fuckers are makin me feel old as poo poo. Like, I was kind of out of the Navy when some of this music came out. Like I got out in 96 and a store even had a JPN N64 for sale and demoing before it was out in the US. Bloody hell. Also Matchbox 20? Smash mouth? What's next? Hootie? Alien Ant Farm? Ace of Base? Man I spent my teen years listening to 60-70s rock and getting a proper music education. Like Ultima 4 was completed while listening to the Doors. And for some inane reason I equate Genesis SHMUP Hellfire with the Beatles cuz the station had BREAKFAST WITH THE BEATLES Saturday mornings and one Sat AM I was playing it. I also equate Super Hydlide with Skid Row for odd reasons involving doing laundry and a magazine actually having a guide for that game. It's not precisely a GOOD game but I find it interesting and compelling... Also extra odd music to game due to the fellow above? Mechwarrior 2 to Garth Brooks The Hits. I really liked Thunder Rolls and The Dance Oddly as much as I worshipped pre Load era Metallica I just don't really equate them to any games or anything. Same with GWAR except they never had St Anger to be so bad even the indie hard rock station apologized for playing it. It was sort of the twilight of radio in cars for me outside of like NPR. Podcasts and the original IPod Nano were like manna from Heaven. More weirdness? Thexder in DOSBOX while discovering The 36 Chambers of the Wu Tang Clan. Hmm.. Lots of the games I mentioned had really good soundtracks to begin with too. It is too odd to ponder. But it's almost time for bed and I clearly need to go look into getting a walker and some Werther's Originals because I am clearly old as hell.  Edit the second. I have some dumb thoughts equating said Fab Four and Nintendo and how I respect but don't worship or much like them a ton but I need to equate Paper Mario to the White Album in being legit loving great, and McCartney and Lennon's solo careers to Advance Wars and post GBA Fire Emblems in also having some top shelf quality. I'll just go with that and then quietly pretend the 16-32 bit 2d Metroids also fit in there someplace. Or maybe the Metroids are the solo stuff and AW and FE are really like the Stones or the Who or Pink Floyd. Maybe it works. It's too late to figure it out. Discuss amongst yourselves or make me feel super old by not even knowing about some legendary bands. And would that make Sega Led Zeppelin? I mean they have never beaten a groupie with a shark but they do beat Sonic fans on the reg. And Goatsce us Phantasy Star geeks...

I think my most co-related music/gaming thing is Doom II and whatever the Eugene-based alternative radio station I could receive on my clock radio was playing in the afternoons in 1996, 1997. So, off hand from memory: Pearl Jam's biggest hits, of course. "Hunger Strike" by Temple Of The Dog was pretty common, for some reason. "Good" by Better Than Ezra. Whatever hit songs the band Live had. "I'm Not An Addict" by K's Choice. "Volcano Girls" by Veruca Salt. "Naked Eye" by Luscious Jackson. "Head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails. "Plowed" by Sponge. A round up of Beck's big hits at that time. The big radio hits of Smashing Pumpkins, of course. There is probably stuff I'm forgetting, but I imagine it would be a pretty familiar sort of playlist to anyone listening to mainstream "alternative" music radio at that point in time.

An actual advertised feature of the first Ridge Racer on PSX was that the entire game loaded into memory at the beginning (while you played a game of Galaxian) and you were free to put your own music CD in. This was before I learned to appreciate Ridge Racer music for the awesomeness that it is so I'd always put in a Green Day CD or whatever other thing my 12 year old self liked. Foo Fighters and Aerosmith probably

I'd obsessively play Super Mario 64 while listening to Hootie and the Blowfish on a personal CD player; it wasn't even one of their good albums I don't know what the gently caress was/is wrong with me. I'd put in Green Day's Dookie while playing Quake on PC and I would play the levels just long enough to finish them when each track ended and was totally convinced that, if you recorded me playing it, they'd make really good music videos!!!

The GT games always have amazing soundtracks, the people who pick the music for those games seem to know the music of their time really well and there are always one or two songs in each that that make me go "holy poo poo!" when I first hear them in game, because it always happens to be a really current song I like by some artist I didn't expect to get into a game like that: GT1: Ash - Lose Control Garbage - As Heaven is Wide GT2: Soul Coughing - Super Bon Bon Boom Boom Satellites - Push Eject GT3: Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons GT4: Fischerspooner - Emerge Photek - Quaman Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers - Funny Little Feeling Kasabian - Reason is Treason By the time GT5 came out I could tell I was old because instead of making me go "hell yeah" my reaction was more like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3q4RZz-PfI , that's how you know they still have a good grasp of whatever the bleeding edge of the music zeitgeist is or whatever, they did use Borrowed Time by TC in the trailer though which was rad. GT6 had tracks by Underworld and Depeche Mode for the old people, which I appreciated d0s fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Mar 13, 2017 |

For me its Goldeneye and SF Rush on the N64 soundtracked by Outkasts ATLiens and Stankonia. I tend not to replace game soundtracks with my own unless its a game I've played so much that I need something else to listen to, which was the case for both of those games

I have a lot of fond memories of listening to Cradle of Filth while playing the Resident Evil series at my friends house over the summers. I was way into them in high school. I also remember listening to the Starcraft soundtrack while playing Diablo II. I'm not really sure why, the Diablo soundtrack is amazing. And who could forget, the carousel music in Roller Coaster Tycoon. When I was a kid I couldn't figure out how to turn off that music, so I would just listen to it. I'm sure that had to have some lasting mental impact. Chill out Rufus.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron PC demo with the Spawn soundtrack, for maximum 1998-ness. Got to trip AT-AT's on Hoth to this tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofamFBk92Pk Also Quake 1 had plenty of fun CD's that worked well with it; off the top of my head, the Mechwarrior 2 game CD and Bad Religion's Recipe for Hate were good choices.

I don't really have any particularly amusing "playing music not designed specifically for the game" stories, beyond loading up Quake with the wrong CD back in the day and getting the soundtrack to sample The Games Factory game "Magician's Lair" (the soundtrack for which isn't anywhere on YouTube, figures), or playing a func_mapjam2 Quake level that erroneously set the music track to 1 (the game data), causing the OGG playback of my source port to not kick in and instead play this Andrew Lloyd Webber music CD I had been ripping earlier. (It actually fit surprisingly well, even though the theme of the mapset was "vaguely Arabic" and the music is more Spanish/Hispanic. Also the lyrics talk about friendship and love, and the game is about shooting eldritch demons. Still!) I suppose I also associate "Oh poo poo!" by The Pharcyde with Way of the Samurai 4 thanks to an early modding video replacing the stock battle theme with it. (I've never played a Way of the Samurai game.)
