killer playlist, can't wait to listen!
ReplyDeleteThis was probably the best "beyond" episode, despite Rob's absence (certainly not because of it!) The Baba Is You track reminded me of an 80's tune as well, but the closest thing I could recall is a Genesis track called The Brazilian, although it's much more intense.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there's a track you guys should really consider for a next Beyond 16 bit episode, which is called "Time Forecast" from the PS2 game Smash Court Tennis: Pro Tournament. It's hard to find on youtube, but it's a solid gold track.
Thanks for the shout out! Great show as always. "The Village of Inoa" brought back a lot of memories, and that Neon Drive track is very radical.
ReplyDeleteJust downloaded the first few eps. Very excited.
DeleteGreat jam sesh, really loved Gabe and Trevor interjecting here and there. (We missed you, Rob)
ReplyDeleteFor the jazzy SOTN track Brent was reminded of when you played Dracula's Tears, I think it's the Coliseum music.
Also, the piano technique you were defining is a descending slide or glissando.
<3
Dear diary: Today LMH played Undertale, Hollow Knight, The Messenger and Snatcher all in the same episode! Today was a good day.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese-only Master System (i.e. Sega Mark III) version of Solomon's Key (called Solomon no Kagi) has a password system and a continue option, making deeper progress much easier. (I think the screen has one fewer row of tiles, so level layout is slightly different. Also, although I believe there are still 12 zodiac tiles to collect, there aren't 12 different graphics for each one, so the symbols repeat.)
ReplyDeleteBrent,
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you listened to the whole Katamari Damacy soundtrack, but there are a couple other tracks I wanted to bring to your attention, because I think you would really enjoy them:
The first is the track Gin & Tonic and Red, Red Roses...

...and the second is Que Sera Sera...

Thanks for another great (even though Rob wasn't there) episode. Love the show!
That Katamari track always gives me that feeling of melancholy you get when you're at the end of a great game. You wish it wouldn't end, but you'll cherish the memories forever.
ReplyDeleteBest episode of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe Parasite Eve menu track “Out of Phase” is great. Certain parts of “Dating Start!” remind me of the Mother 3 ost. “Dracula’s tears” is my favorite track from Dawn of Sorrow. If you haven’t played it I suggest checking out Aria of Sorrow. I feel like Alundra is a mega underrated game. “Miami” track is perfect for cruising the Palmetto Expressway.
ReplyDeleteCurious what Beyond 16-Bit consoles the boizz have.
Great ep!
I wanted to comment on one of the episodes where Brent talks about playing Baba Is You, but rather than search through recent episodes, it's simpler to just comment on an episode that features its music.
ReplyDeleteI got the game (via Steam) at the beginning of August. Thanks for making me aware of it! I'm just under 80 hours in and on the cusp of 100%. (I seem to be short one more ****** ***** in ****, and have no idea how. Hopefully I'm clear through the asterisks to those in the know without spoiling others who may read this.) I'm curious to find out which level had Brent stumped so long; I certainly had several of my own stumpers! I also had five different experiences where I was stuck on a level and realized the solution (or in one case, a crucial mechanic through which I eventually found the solution) while away from the game, which I found more exciting than solving while playing.
On the subject of its music: it seems like the drum sounds are more muffled on the PC version than on the Switch. I prefer the muffled sound, but that might just be a result of having become familiar with the music that way.
Update an hour later: I took care of the asterisked thing! I have all the achievements now, but I hear the Steam version has one more level...
