    I *think* I get what you were trying to convey with this entry but unfortunately it just didn’t work for me. It’s literally a guy taking a video from a train… scenery is ok I guess but it doesn’t improve the song really. And while I like Chemical Brothers this wouldn’t be one I’d be firing up when I think of them unfortunately. 4 for the song, 2 for the video.

    LCD Soundsystem - oh baby




    Good God man, you just broke my heart with this :(:( What an incredible video, absolutely heartbreaking. The first minute or so I wasn’t gone on because I hadn’t the foggiest where it was going but then I was just hooked. The song is just sidetracked by the video which is kind of what I was really thinking of when it came to this round – the top three here have captured that the best imo. Anyways, 8 for the track and a big fat 10 for the video. Great pick!

    All the scenery represents the different beats in the song, did you not get that Necro? Great video. (Chemical brothers)

    Not a good start for me and there are one or two of my picks for the other that I think might finish last, this is going to be a bumpy ride :o

    Don't worry. I almost certain my pick for the Star Wars clip will not only have me finishing last, but also have a target on my back from every Star Wars fan.

    We'll aim for Round 2 about the same time tomorrow I think... don't think there's anything else on...

    I hope it's the Star Trek theme... :D

    Oh that would have been genius... Why didn't I think of this?


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 53,775 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I’m a big fan of music in games, be that created specifically for the game or indeed licensed tracks appearing in franchises such as FIFA etc. RPG music in particular I’d be a big fan of… so kudos to anyone thinking along those lines…

















    Was very surprised some of these weren't entered tbh :D

    But how did y'all do? Find out tomorrow at 9pm!

    Cheers Necro, missed most of the reveal there but just watched the winner. Very nice, though not sure I understand it :p
    Well played Shane!

    Love that video, unlucky Barna


    I went for something quite different from your suggested game songs, hope you liked it :o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,505 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Oof, you heathen! That's Michel Gondry's finest work :D

    I can understand from Necro's position why it didnt score well. Its far and away the best thing that Noel Gallagher has ever been involved in.

    :D

    The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony






    Does seem a somewhat ‘obvious’ choice but it’s a cracker. The song kind of IS the video imo so it definitely personifies the round. 10 for the video, 6 and a half for the song, marked down slightly for overfamiliarity.

    I hate this song but great video so an easy choice for me. I didn't expect it to do so well as I didn't know how you were rating this round. Delighted with 2nd place.

    Great reveal Neccers and well done Shane

    This was my second, it wouldn't have faired any better (yes it's country), but c'mon ya gotta love a man who loves his pupper :D so cute!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    I don't think my video game song will score high but I just had to include a song from one of the greatest games I have ever played

    Tusk linked me to a brilliant version of that. I'll put it up if it doesn't feature in this round.

    No Tetris theme was entered, sadly. Would have done very well.

    Persona 5 - Last Surprise






    Funky number this but I just wasn’t enamoured with it at all tbh. I reckon it might have sunk in better with me if I was familiar with the series but I just didn’t get much from this. Sorry…

    Ari101


    The XX – Intro




    I actually really like instrumental music in games as it’s less distracting whilst playing them. This was grand… I did try the 7 minute version and gotta say that would have done… much much worse as it’s basically the same thing for longer, which gets a bit meh after a while.

    Irish Aris


    Lacuna Coil-Swamped




    I just don’t know about this song. The intro is really very strange and just puts me off the track immediately but the more I listen the more I enjoy. I think it’s her voice? It’s a bit weird. Anyways here was where it ended up.

    Cities - Beck (from Sound Shapes)





    This is kinda funky. I’m not a big fan of Beck anyways so this is about as high as it could really go in all honesty.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Hmmmm. No idea how I'll fare here, but I too picked a song from the greatest game ever...

    Final Fantasy 7 - Golden Saucer Theme




    Tbh, you could have picked pretty much ANY other track from FF7 and it would likely have been top 3 material. Boss theme, Main battle theme, Jenova them, One Winged Angel just wins the category straight up - just not this one. I dunno, it’s so sickly sweet and squealing at points it just puts me off. It’s still much better than what most games have these days but yeah, you could have been much higher :P

    Finished it, then started in Royal :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    I entirely don't understand how these songs fit into games. I haven't attempted to play anything much but puzzles since I was a teenager and I remeber moody stuff and electronic noises and some scarey alarm like stuff.
    These days even mobile game apps for simple things first thing I do is mute them :o
    So saying all that my placing is ok with me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,022 ✭✭✭✭ShaneU

    Haha, I still remember playing that Tony Hawk demo to death when it first came out, gave you the choice of two different skate parks iirc. This is a fun track and I enjoyed the entry. I was far too cheap as a student to buy the full game :D

    *Looks around nervously* You’ve been paying attention to my interpretative dance for this track haven’t you :eek: I just really like this theme with the chanting, it stands out a mile. Good choice.

    Haven't played it in awhile actually, might have a few beers and throw it on now tonight, to help de-stress after all that chaos in that other place this evening...

    Great choice, again I’d be familiar with this from the older FIFA games, 98 I think this one was, isn’t that mental? I’m going to take a few points off it for overfamiliarity again but yeah it’s a quality choice.

    Hahaha, I’ve no idea of the context of this as I actually haven’t played Portal but this is hilarious. Catchy song too! This might have done very well in the previous round as well actually, simple but effective.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,855 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Was that fifa 98 road to the world cup?

    You could the off side rule off, used to drive my mate crazy :)

    I think it was, I can't remember exactly. I do remember the offside rule being removable which added so much hilarity.

    Also the hacking down of the goalkeepers :D

    I’m going out on a limb here and stating this entrant is a bit of a gamer :P Nobody picks something like this without playing their fare share of them. Great choice, I do love RPG music a lot so playing to my strengths here with this choice.

    This is just a bit flat and meandering. I kept expecting it to go up in crescendo at some point but it kind just… stayed as is. Wouldn’t be rushing to play the game based on the soundtrack anyways…

    That being said..... the game was bloody great at the time :D:D

    Arguably a cheat code for this round but lookit, this is a quality track. I particularly like the beginning… TEST YOUR MIGHT – followed by the guttural roar… ah you get the point. Good choice.
