Yes, I voted. I thought the sudden death vote was separate.
So you mean there’s an extended period where someone can vote who hasn’t already.
Yes, exactly. If someone missed voting on a given day, they can break the tie.
I also support this movement ;)
It was my second favorite of the group, behind fourth place Tak. Sorry @Enidigm, I liked your song.
That is not j-pop you crazy croc. He hails from the lineage of shredders and hard rock infused with varying degrees of neoclassical and prog. He has much more in common with someone like a Steve Vai and Richie Kotzen than any j-pop band.

Makes me wish I’d nominated a J-pop track just for kicks, but that’d put me at two tracks with no chance in hell of going anywhere rather than just one.
Wow, i thought it was jpop as well! It was my first taste of jpop tbh so it has a larger place in my heart than it otherwise perhaps should!
And interestingly, i like Steve Vai, so probably why i like this.
(obligatory Steve Vai link)
Heh, I had to. Mainly because I’ve listened to stuff from various Tak projects over the years. Not a particular favorite of mine, but firmly in the ‘decent song to listen to while I work’ category.
Plus, who knows, maybe an @ArmandoPenblade might not have heard of him, and would be interested to know he’s got an extensive discography.
To me B’z is Jpop (it’s easy listening after all), but that comes from the assumption Jpop is something audible, and not the horrible audio molasse it has become the synonym of in the new millenium, featuring hundred of underaged boys or girls trying to hide behind numbers their individual total inability as singers.
I’m grumpy!
Ha, that’s me, the End Run isn’t actually my favorite either (that’d be Grunt or Tali) but it is the most representative to me of Mass Effect 2 – big, dumbed down action movie of a previously excellent scifi game that I’m still oddly fond of. Thought it’d do better than this though :/
@left_empty I’ve listened to the soundtrack many times but Samara never stood out to me, but frankly I love the whole thing. It really fit the game well, such as it is.
Also this system of voting is pretty convenient for me since I’m on vacation, I don’t have the chance to listen to the other songs but I can still rate my own without guilt.
To me, it’s the arrangement that makes me love some of the ME tracks so much. Tali is right next there to Samara to me. I actually like the atmospheric versions (Finding Samara or Pure Krogan, from the sic Atmospheric Soundtrack) better, but the lack of melody hooks would be troublesome.
Yeah, I never had much hope of it surviving even one round, but I’m really fond of the music in Dwarf Fortress. Part of it’s nostalgia for the days when I could try to sneak in One More Season instead of writing one more paper. Part of it’s appreciation for the crisp juxtaposition between the soft, soothing strumming and the horrified realization that all my dwarves are dying of dehydration. …Because the brewer’s skull got cracked when the mayor finally snapped. …Because her lavish office was really more of a chair out by the woodpile.
…And the chair was really more of a cactus, but I don’t think DF is quite detailed enough for that part to matter.
I was super sad to see this go down immediately, but alas! And no, @CraigM, he was new to me, too, but it was excellent!!!
Out of Group B, as mentioned I loved the FF track and gave it a 5, and did the same for the fantastic Super Hexagon track. The guitar track from Dwarf Fortress was a bit too chromatic for my taste but I still liked it so I only gave it a 4, and the ME2 one was fine, but honestly now I don’t remember if I gave it a 3 or a 4. Is there a way to find out?
Never mind!
‘Hide results’ will give you the buttons again with your original choice.
I like FF music, but it tends to be Rousing-Neo-Gothic-Symphonic-Battle-March or Poignant-Sad-Piano-Arpeggios and not much in between.
We’ll wait until you get to my FF pick, because it is neither this time. It’s bittersweet march.
Last time was sad piano though, I’ll admit.
Man, I really like the Dwarf Fortress theme. And that Super Hexagon track is so dang catchy. Good round.
These are generally the only FF tracks I like, with a handful of exceptions (Zanarkand included).
Tbh RNGSBM is my second favorite genre after German symphonic power metal.
