| TsunamiXXVIII 04/01/20 10:41:05 PM #12: | Scourge of the Universe Tonitrus Dead Neon Hell City Aw yeah more Terraria Calamity! I loved just about everything this game was putting up last contest, and looking at the video, was this in last contest? No, it wasn't. I guess they just use that purple worm graphic a few times. Still, another nearly 8 minute song! I don't like that at all. Alas, I have to put up with it, because early impressions don't hold up. Just yesterday I was well over two minutes into the first song in a match when I stopped with the assumption that there was no way I'd vote for it, except its opponent sucked, and it turned out if I'd waited five seconds longer I'd have been good! There are times when I love B8's taste in music, and then there are times when I have no clue what they're thinking. Kirby's Return to Dreamland certainly does have some good songs--I think I actually tried to get Desert Area into VGMC13, to no avail. This? Not so good. And I was able to get that much written, pull up my list from 2014 to determine which song it was I'd tried to nominate, and get back and was like "wait, I thought this song was shorter than that?" and then it turns out I'd only been listening for two minutes. Felt like so much longer. I have no words. And that was even before I found out it was a lyrical song! This is proof that I shouldn't fill out brackets without listening to everything, even though I don't actually do pure favorites brackets anyway. Kind of like a wishful thinking/cynic/goddamnit B8 bracket. I went to check to make sure I had no problem with this song retiring, and as far as I know, I don't, but my bracket has it losing this match! Not that SEISMIQ is bad either. It isn't bad at all. In fact, it's going to be a damn fine sight when I put in the buttload of greater-than signs and it's my number 2! Oh, no, wait, it's just Ayesha's soundtrack that I hate. I always had it in my mind that this was one of the Ayesha songs that I hated, and every time I see that it's actually from Shallie, I figure it must've been both Ayesha and Shallie that I hated. But I like this song! I don't know why I have it in my mind that I didn't. I think for some reason I see the title and always think about YOATI. I tend to remember things incorrectly though. Another reason I tend to have an aversion to the Ayesha soundtrack is because of Slag Dance, which I think I hated on its own merits but also the title reminds me of Meridian Dance, which I distinctly remembered being tortured with for multiple rounds but the record of past contests says it's never made it out of Round 1. Though it did have 3 appearances so there's that! Except one of them was in VGMC2 which was before I joined Board 8, so I'd have only heard it in a VGMC twice. There is something about "Demon Truck - Dead Neon Hell City" that instinctively makes me want to put the words in an order other than they belong in. Maybe it's the fact that the game's name is Demon Truck, but there's also the fact that for some reason I want to switch Neon to after Hell. Still, this turned into my least favorite kind of day: a 1/3/5 day. You know... Tonitrus >>>>>>>>>>> SEISMIQ > Dead Neon Hell City > Flying Clouds, Drifting Haze > Scourge of the Universe >>> Waterworks Area ...Yeah, that kind of day. When I have to not vote for my second-favorite of the six, but do have to vote for my second-least-favorite. Though there was only one I outright disliked so at least I'm not voting for something I dislike, just that I liked all four of the songs in the other two matches more. --- Also known as Cyberchao X. ...
