Yeah, eventually. Haven't been able to at the moment.

Mario RPGs in general have this ridiculously recognisable style of music, but I don't find that much music in the Paper Mario games is actually memorable, which is kind of a shame. Mario & Luigi and SMRPG (same composer for those two) have some great music, so don't be surprised if they show up in the future.

It would be cool to organise an IRC music trivia session, in a few weeks. It might even the playing field a bit, and give me something to do with the songs that are too easy for forum trivia.

Back. Anyone have any thoughts on doing this in IRC? It would probably be on a Friday or Saturday night, which for most people here I'm guessing isn't currently being used for anything.

A little too recognisable, maybe. Good, though.

Megaman Battle Network (the first). Not really sure of the name, but it's used near the end where Lan learns megaman is actually his brother or something like that.

I saw Sage come online right after I posted that, I thought he was going to get it. On my soundtrack, it's called "The Fatal Moment", although the MIDI is just called "Hub.bat".

Starfox 64 - Map music. Do a barrel roll and such, although it's a wonder Peppy ever passed flight school, because what he's actually telling you to do is an aileron roll.

It's a little bit too obvious with that main Star Fox theme in there, isn't it?

I think another good reason for IRC would be that the two point system would actually have some meaning. I came up with it for chat trivia, but here we almost always have someone getting both at once. I'd like someone to at least, you know, comment on it, though. It wouldn't be too hard to set a time, it just depends on what works for you.

Also, it might mean that anyone can try and score, not just the same two people every time.

It sounds like the music from wild arms when the kid gets kicked out of the village, but more than likely I'm entirely wrong like usual.


Actually never mind, that isn't it.

Its the ending theme from Ico. And the only reason I know that is because I had just happend to have used it in one of my craptastic rm2k games I had tried to make years ago.

EDIT: Oh, and as for doing this on IRC, we could do it, though I never know when I'm going to be able to get on the computer (usually I can be on anytime, except when I'm actually needed :? ) And, I feel I'd have my ass handed to me if we did it over a chat...

I'm thinking something like 7-8 PM EST, Friday or Saturday night. And yeah, that was it.

This might be a hard one to get specifically, but I suggest at least trying to give me the right idea.
