Just like Armando to bring a MIDI chip to a SID fight.
It stung to pull that lever.
I’ve made it this far in the competition without googling what the difference is and I don’t intend to stop now, dammit!
Never get outta the car, man.
I’m so excited at the prospect of plucky Monty mole going up against the Dragonborn or the history of human civilisation. My girlfriend just asked ‘What if Monty wins?’ ‘The forum goes up in flames.’
BFG Division lost out to Phendrana Drifts, and Luchador to Monty on the Run. Gusty Garden and Disco Descent, the alliterative tag team buddies, are hanging in there against the two heaviest of weights but this is looking like the last round for my last two selections and I’m not even mad. Such great music!
I adore the Skyrim theme, particularly the climactic Nerevar reprise, but the triumphant joy of Gusty Garden Galaxy – and crucially how that is sustained for its duration – is magnificent.
I could go either way with Disco Descent and Baba Yetu, they’re such wildly different tracks, but I fell on the side of Necrodancer because in these later rounds, when we’re down to brass tacks, I prefer the Soweto Gospel Choir’s vocals to the in-game version. Crypt of the Necrodancer makes no such ‘missteps’ and besides, it was never going to win! :-)
The way the voting has evolved is fascinating. We started out like “I like this song better than the other one,” and now we’re like “That song beat the other one, so I’m voting against it forever” and also “My song lost, so my friends are now dead to me.” But, like, lovingly.
I am soulless husk of a man after seeing Journey fall to Starcraft. I mean, I was before, too, but it was still super sad to see it happen.
Life is bereft of meaning and all is pain.
Oh sorry I’m not talking about music I just woke up
SHIMARENDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
For a moment there I thought Gusty had it.
I liked the necrodancer track enough that I brought the game over the weekend. It’s pretty good. Apparently I was banging on the keyboard loud enough (in an effort to keep beat) that I woke the house up (couldn’t tell because I was wearing headphones.)
Good luck, it’s such a difficult game!
While I was aware of Necromancer prior to this tournament, I was mostly aware of it as a concept, I hadn’t played it or heard the soundtrack. Since the tournament entry, it’s been in my regular workday music rotation. It’s an absolutely fantastic soundtrack top to bottom.
I guess I should try to play it someday.
Same. You missed a sale just this weekend though (80% off) I imagine that as an older indie it’ll go back on sale frequently.
Skyrim and Civilization IV advance.
Only three matches remain! The final match will feature overtly electronic synthesizer wizardry in one corner and bombastic orchestral chanting in the other, but which one of each will it be?
Match 61:
- Brigador
- Monty

Civ 4 vs Skyrim? How does one choose? HOW!?!!?
Oh geezus, hardest round yet.
Sod it, I hate sharing Giphy links.
I’m going to be flipping the Skyrim and Civ vote a lot, I can feel it.
Literally the hardest vote, yet. I could see this one going either way, with good reason for whichever one wins.
I’m down to counting the goosebumps during each track. It’s still close.
