Necrus Revisited (Part Three) REVEAL Thread
-
25-05-2021 1:04pm#1Howdy folks,
Time to complete this Walrus trilogy I guess
For this edition I'm revisiting former Walruses and categories I really liked - basically I'm going to be taking other people's categories and jamming them all into one Walrus. It's always nice to get a new, and different slant on previously used categories anyways.
Last Walrus (proper Walrus anyways) I ran had 10 categories. I'm going to replicate that again, I think 10 is plenty
1. (partyjungle's Walrus) - Song that is hugely improved by the video
I use a mixture of YouTube and Spotify when judging songs, I set up my Spotify playlists to have me drifting off to sleep, but when I'm putting my thoughts down I like to have them playing on YouTube. Hit me with a track that is enhanced by the video.
2. (partyjungle's Walrus) - Video Game Music
Be it a hugely popular song used in a game such as Rock Band, or an original piece used in a game such as Final Fantasy, I want your selections here. Always liked the idea of this category.
3. (Mollyb60 and AnLachaCorchra's Walrus) Song from a genre you usually wouldn’t listen to
Walrus is always a fun game for me, it really gives me a lot of new music I normally wouldn't listen to. So send me on something from an artist or genre you wouldn't normally be a fan of for my own perusal.
4. (Barney92 and MrKingsley's Walrus) - Song from a musical
Being a fan of the stage myself I love a good musical. There's so many that I haven't seen as well. Hit me up with your favourite
5. (Homer J. Fong's Walrus) - "You're from the 70's but I'm a 90's bitch"
Not too complicated this one. Hit me with a 90s track you love.
6. (LeVar's Walrus) - As Seen on TV
Nothing terribly complex or complicated here folks, give me your fave TV theme!
7. (ShaneU's Walrus) - Driving Miss Walrus
Interestingly, although I won this Walrus (my only win to date), I did not do well in this category. I've specifically decided to revive this one to see what entries people might send me
Send me a choon you listen to when Driving!
8. (Reberetta's Walrus) - Give that Scene some Music!
A rather different round here, from a very different (but excellent) Walrus before. I'll give you a scene below and your job is to cue up music that suits it.
Instead of the whole Walrus being based on it though, it's just the one round this time out. Scenes below, I will give you all a choice of two:
Anakin and Obi Wan Fight Scene
Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith (2005)
OR
D-Day Landing Scene
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
9. (Ectoplasm's Walrus) - In my hometown
Another fun and original round, give me a track from an artist based in your hometown. Home Country will do either if you're stuck, I'm not fussy.
10. (Rikand's Walrus, the Original) - Summer Songs
Getting to that time of year again, what better way to finish up a Walrus than with some Summery tracks
So 10 categories, and 16 players took up the call to arms and submitted their entries...
They are:
Deja Boo
Kolido
ShaneU
the purple tin
Homer J. Fong
Necrina
JP Liz V1
Sawduck
cee_jay
ari101
Barna77
Irish Aris
Trigger
fixXxer
Electric Nitwit
Also Starring LeVar Burton
First category reveal is tonight at circa 9pm.6

...I was similar. I never watch videos these days, so I had to go back to my comfort zone of the late 90sA song that is made better or simply becomes more enjoyable by watching the video. There aren’t a whole pile that come to mind when I think of this category...
I still start with my standard, misplaced confidence though!

Ah, I'm sure most people had plenty of ideas. Sadly I'd used the dancing astronauts in the quickfire space walrusSeriously I should have thought about it before the game :pac:
Spent about 10 mins staring at the word document when writing my blurbs going... Uhhhhhhhhhh what do I put down here?
All's well that ends well though... Probably...

It's the country songs - they numb your brain :pac:Seriously I should have thought about it before the game :pac:

I don't recall what I sent in on that or any of the categories, except one....
I didn't listen to the original soundtracks of the movie scenes, so have no idea what they are supposed to sound like. Only 2 songs I could think of matched the fight sequence. My second choice was no better than my first, lol but they both made me laugh (no offence to them masculine light beam warriors, they rock so!!!) :pac: 0 -

I am very proud with what I came up with for the Saving Private Ryan scene, even if Necro absolutely hates it.0 -

I have a message for all the Star Wars fans...

I've ventured into the Trek forum, that's for grown upsOf course there is. There's a Star Trek forum too, just for LeVar. 0 -
Welcome to our new players, and of course our Walrus veterans, great to have you all on board. As always, don’t fret too much about your placement, it’s only my opinion – and everyone else says that’s sh1te so it’s probably not too bad of a thing if you don’t do well :P
Just the single duplicate in this round. We do have one other song picked twice, but in different categories so that’s gonna be… interesting…
Kicking off in just under 30 mins. Just warming up now for the big show

Let Forever Be - Chemical Bros
This is some seriously weird trippy sh1t :pac: I quite like the song but I’m not sure the video elevates it, I found it very repetitive. Dance moves are pretty decent as is the replication of the lady but other than that… solid 5 for each I’ll be giving it.
Oof, you heathen! That's Michel Gondry's finest work 0 -

Coldplay – Magic
Now we’re talking. This is a good example of what I was looking for. I’m not a big Coldplay fan, I find Chris Martin a pretentious arse of the highest order. So I did a little bit of a sigh when I saw this come through but it’s a decent track… for Coldplay anyways. 5 out of 10. The video is very good. Really enjoyed the story it told and the payoff is worth watching it. 7 bells outta 10. Getting much warmer now0 -

Woohoo, I was afraid you might be a Coldplay hater (lots are), so nice to hear you were not tortured Glad I fit the brief, whoop whoop! 0 -
In 8th place with 10 pointsThe purple tin
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Into the Great Wide Open
I get the feeling tpt is a Tom Petty fan, they do like tossing his music into my Walrus :P It’s worked mainly too in all honesty
Very much enjoyed both the song and the video here, solid 7s all around. I’m not sure the video improves the song much mind, which is something I would say about the songs closer to the top of the rankings.0 -

You Need to Calm Down - Taylor Swift
I’m a huge TayTay fan but interestingly I had kinda forgotten this song existed! I think the song and the video are on a par here, really liking them both. 8 points each! I feel like this should be the anthem for the Current Affairs forum here on Boards lol, just calm the frick down :pac:
Others saying they found this category tough... This was easy for me. Love this video. It has everything. Ru Paul? Check! queens from Drag Race? Check! The fab four? Check! Todrick Hall? Check! A Taylor/Katy Perry reunion? Check! All my happy things in one place.
The colours are amazing on the video imo and the story is just perfect 0 -

In 3rd place with 14 pointsNecrina
Pink - Beautiful Trauma
I think this is why Necrina wanted to enter this Walrus and tbh I can definitely see why. Track is good.... but is made so, so much better by the video. Channing Tatum in a dress anyone? Just a great choice. 10 outta 10 for the video. 6 and a bit for the song. Nice choice but how will you do in the other rounds…. *sniggers*
Probably not good! But I'm happy with where this one ranked! 0 -
