Options / Game Over - Daffy Duck in Hollywood -

Nominator: GameBopAdv (5/9)

(7.7, 6.5, 7.1)

[*laughs* Oh, this nomination takes me back. Some time way back in the boards historyI dont wanna know how longone of the VGM group regulars had a VGM ranking topic that I submitted a few songs for. There was a song from Rhapsody that he hated (though I cant be sure if it came in dead last or not), an average tune from Vanguard Bandits (he found it unremarkable and I concur, though I personally give it a few bonus points for nostalgia), and this song.

He liked it, but he called me out. There was some long running VGM topic on the board and this song was something hed submitted for it. He made a joke about me being the only person who cheated by submitting one of his own picks to the list; it was all in good fun, but I never really went into that topic series, so it was all a coincidence... I got so embarrassed, I couldnt bring myself to show my face in the topic again.

And now things have come full circle. This is great.]

Ah, this nomination probably brought the most laughter, so thank you for that. I haven't been able to figure out who the user in question was; I'm thinking it might have been TomNook7? He did start "Post a VGM a Day" which sounds like the topic series this song was first posted to. Like I said, it wasn't anything I participated in, but I do recall something about people posting one song a day--I'm confident whoever did that music ranking topic was one of the regulars from that topic series... and since I can't find any trace of that series other than the fact that Tom started it, I'm just going to presume Tom had the music ranking topic unless someone from back then has evidence to the contrary.

Also not that you were likely to ask, but the other two songs I nominated were

Let's Go On (Contest) - Rhapsody:

It's...a bit too cheesy and childish for normal people, I suppose. </.<

Honestly, I really like it though.

Time of Battle - Vanguard Bandits:

...I think. Honestly I'm not a fan of the soundtrack and most of it blurs together, so it could have been Broken Wings or Destiny. Time of Battle feels right though.

It's...okay? I have a certain level of nostalgia for the game (but also a lot of hatred for how Working Designs butchered the game as Vic destroyed everything he touched), so it probably gets a 6 from me? I dunno why, but I was in the mood to nominate something average and that was the most average game song I could think of at the time. A song I loved that I didn't expect to do well (though I hoped for a better reaction than it got), an average song, and something obscure--this video you nominated was titled "obscure VGM #1" so it was my first hit and I enjoyed it, so it made it in as my third nominee.

Apparently I needed to search for something more obscure than this, considering his response... well, I tried, at any rate. And he still liked the song, so it's not like it was all bad.

Song is nice. It blatantly doesn't fit an Options Screen or a Game Over screen so you can tell it was created for an unused level, but it's still good. The opening has a very "falling through space" quality to it that I like and the endless coincidences related to this song's history in ranking topic make for a good source of laughter.
