Board 8 > You rank 100 songs, as submitted by azuarc

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sorry, xp. I'm so wrapped up in repeats for the over-50 crowd that I'm not looking carefully at anyone else's repeats. Going to give that whole set to someone else then. And yes, that was dumb of me. You did practically all of those in round 2. =x


th3l3fty:

Trine 2 - Main Theme


Gran Turismo 2 - Moon Over the Castle


VVVVVV - Positive Force


Baldr Sky - Ruins of Silence


Legend of Heroes VI - Silver Will




xp1337:

Final Fantasy Legend II - The Legend Begins


The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Theme


Left 4 Dead 2 - Re: Your Brains


Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Sacred


Mirror's Edge - Still Alive





Kenri - yes, you were supposed to do Sloprano. I made a copy-and-paste error and put the song in Leon's list by mistake. He was supposed to have done Path to the Heavens. I thought I had corrected for that error, but apparently not. I'd tell you to rank that instead, but you've had it before. So I'm going to juxtapose a few things and pray this works out.

Instead of Sloprano, can you put the Tyson training theme into those rankings?



Ark:

Super Mario 64 - Dire, Dire Docks


Donkey Kong Country - Fear Factory


Dungeon Fighter Online - Hamelin


Castle Crashers - The Race Around the World


Seiken Densetsu 3 - Path to the Heavens




Edit: taking out the last 5 set because something's screwed up and I need to figure out what.





NOTE TO PEOPLE WITH OUTSTANDING SETS:

I'd like to finish this, so I may reassign your songs to another willing party soon. This includes KirbyDamasta, Jeff Zero, KamikazePotato, and TheKnightOfNee from round 4. There's also two from round 5 (Ainoxi and Ytterbium) who I'm hoping just haven't gotten to it yet.

ok, Mana, taking away Durandal theme to give you Glade Action. So that gives you:

Chrono Trigger - Undersea Palace


Jazz Jackrabbit - Sluggion


Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King - Heavenly Flight


EverQuest - Felwithe


and

Sanctum - Glade Action



And that leaves me with 5 songs left, and a hesitancy to assign them until I confirm I've got the right 5 songs left.

ok, I've got it right. The final five songs, which I'm going to leave up for grabs while I go to work, are:

Marathon 2: Durandal - Main Theme


Dynasty Warriors 5 - Primitive Power


Impossible Game - Fire Aura


Mana Khemia: Alchemist of Al-Revis - Stigmata


Legend of Mana - Title Theme



If you want them, take them. Sign for them first. Just check to make sure you're not duplicating.



And if you are not eligible to take these five, or if someone beats you to it, I may still give you songs since there are a few folks I don't think I'm going to hear back from.

Ed (unofficial set #2):

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - King Dedede's Theme


Trine 2 - Main Theme


Xenosaga III - Hepatica


Guitar Hero 2 - Jordan


World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Nightsong

Final Fantasy Legend II - The Legend Begins

Eh. As I was saying earlier, I think I just don't "get" a lot of chiptunes.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Theme

Skyrim's theme is way superior. Morrowind's is just kind of there. I mean, I suppose that's not necessarily bad, but it also isn't necessarily good.

Left 4 Dead 2 - Re: Your Brains

Oh, good, I can rant again. I mean that sincerely because it will give me something to do during the duration of the song. Speaking of things I don't "get" - this "genre" of music. By which I mean these songs that just make blatant attempts at humor. Still Alive, Want You Gone, this, etc. At worst I just think they're bad on top of trying way too hard. At best, I think they're okay almost entirely in spite of what it's trying to do (Read: everything except the lyrics are good.) Take this, this song does a number of things I really like, but the vocals/lyrics just start driving it into the ground. And I feel like the rest of the song starts suffering in an attempt to accommodate for it and augh.

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Sacred

I suppose I was pleasantly surprised by this, to begin with I was getting a bad feeling out of this, but it pulls itself together well enough. Well, enough to keep it from plummeting to the bottom/second-to-last.

Mirror's Edge - Still Alive

Speaking of Still Alive, this right here is the vastly superior one. And far and away the best song in this set.


+5: Mirror's Edge - Still Alive
+4: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Theme
+3: Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Sacred
+2: Final Fantasy Legend II - The Legend Begins
+1: Left 4 Dead 2 - Re: Your Brains


I suppose I'll take another group if it's necessary, but I also can't take the last remaining one.

These aren't even being ranked anymore, are they? =P

You gave me Trine 2 already, by the way.

Not as of the last one you gave me, no. And dammit, if you're going to claim that everything I've given you was already done, then pick your own damn unofficial set of 5! I think you've still got Fire Aura, Glade Action, Scrap Brain Zone, and LoM Title.

Dammit. Well, thank you for being kind to the poor Mana track. I'm pretty sad at how poorly it's done, and I even have myself to blame.

I still need someone to take this set. Other than that, I'm waiting for responses at this point. If anyone wants a set but can't do this bunch because they've already done one of the songs, I'll look at the assignments that appear to have been abandoned.

Thank you, ange.


The following people still need to give me their rankings:

KirbyDamasta
Jeff Zero
KP
Nee

Ainoxi
Ytterbium

Tom Bombadil
th3l3fty
JC


I'm a bit busy today and tomorrow, but I hope to start the list topic on Friday. That, of course, means I'll need rankings to be done by then.

...! I forgot about the last two and didn't rank! It's hard to sort these songs too....

+5: Xenosaga 3 - Hepatica (It's a beautiful song, though it drags on for a bit though, and that annoys me a tiny amount.)
+4: World of Warcraft - Nightsong (It's a Warcraft song. It's fairly cool, but it didn't payoff as much as I'd like it to.)
+3: Megamari - Prologue, Title and Final Battle (My ears...they came close to bleeding here because of how loud this one was.)
+2: Double Dragon - Theme (It's peppy, but that's it. I had a hard time trying to enjoy this one.)
+1: Sonic the Hedgehog - Scrap Brain Zone (Come to think of it, anyone l istening to this song has their brain become scrap...)

LOL Nightsong getting a 4

reminder bump

oh my god did you seriously give me Positive force and Silver Will in the same set

that is just evil

+5 Positive force
+4 Silver Will
+3 Moon Over the Castle
+2 Ruins of Silence
+1 Trine 2 Main Theme

Silver Will would get +5 from me in literally any group without Positive force

top three are all favorites, and the bottom two aren't bad either

also you can give me 5 more if you want

--
thelefty for analysis crew 2008 imo -tranny
I have a third degree burn in flame-o-nomics -Sir Chris

Well, yeah, that's sorta by design. After the first few rounds, I ranked them and split them into four groups. Those songs were all in the top group.

Sadly, there is not five more to give unless I am giving up on people responding, however that actually sounds like a good idea and you haven't done so many that I can't find something left to give you, so try this:

Erana's Garden


Hepatica


M.I.S.A


Stigmata


To a New Journey



This list originally belonged to KP, who is now in a race against you to get those ranked, because I want to wrap this up and reminder PMs are obnoxious.

Would anyone else (besides Mana, Ed, Kenri or ArkOfTurus) like to be a replacement?

+5 M.I.S.A.
+4 Hepatica
+3 To a New Journey
+2 Erana's Garden
+1 Stigmata


whole lotta nothing happening here

...and then whatever Stigmata is trying to be

As I said earlier, I'm willing to do more, though I'm not sure I'm the best choice. IIRC, you'd have to break up some of the earlier sets because I don't think I could do any of them as they are.

GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX

Well, I don't see anyone else stepping up, and my biggest contributors have pretty much tapped themselves out, so it looks like I may have to do just that.


BGM


Heavenly Flight


Intro Music


Xanadu


Final Showdown?




The Final Showdown...? presents an especially unique challenge, because somehow it's been neglected four times. I already ranked it once, the first time I cleaned up the loose ends, but that still leaves thre holes, so I gotta find 3 different people to do it.

BGM

Well, this was kind of neat... for a bit. I don't think I'd say it's good, but I also don't think I'd say it's terrible either. Actually, for some reason it reminds me of something out of Mario Paint. Might just be some of the sound effects.

Heavenly Flight

This is okay, I guess.

Intro Music

This might be one of FFT's better songs. Which doesn't necessarily mean all that much coming from me, but it is definitely better to be one of FFT's better songs than one of its worse. Well, it starts out as one of FFT's better songs, then it makes me all sad towards the end there. Nevertheless!

Xanadu

Haha, this is really neat. I feel like this comes kind of close to crossing the line into something I wouldn't like, but thankfully it does not.

Final Showdown?

The Final Showdown is great as well.


+5: Xanadu
+4: Final Showdown?
+3: Intro Music
+2: Heavenly Flight
+1: BGM


I'm still willing to take more songs if it's needed, it's up to you.

xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out?
GotD (219/384) Melee v FFX

ok, xp.

Four


Mute City


Want You Gone


Teary Edge


Umbral Ultimatum



I might be able to do one more after that, but it would require cutting into JC's list, and I suspect he'll eventually get back to us.


But I have songs remaining that xp can't do, so if anyone's willing, give a holler.

I CAN GET TO IT

Four

Huh, this is kinda interesting, but nothing I'd say is great. Not bad though.

Mute City

Eh... F-Zero music is generally not something I like. There are a few okay/good songs in there, but Mute City isn't really one of them.

Want You Gone

This might be my favorite of its kind of song, but my rant from earlier still holds.

Teary Edge

This is good though.

Umbral Ultimatum

Umbral Ultimatum is not one of the better Homestuck songs, IMO, and I feel like I like Homestuck's music less than most of the board already.


+5: Teary Edge
+4: Want You Gone
+3: Four
+2: Umbral Ultimatum
+1: Mute City


Anyway, it sounds like I've hit the limit of what songs I'm able to take.

Links are on the spreadsheet. I've hidden the existing rankings in case you're worried about spoilers.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoS8GGHS9FDGdEdBOG04RWtuV0hSS0RhaVVWcW5xOXc


I can potentially rank any of these myself EXCEPT for Final Showdown, which I've already done. Conveniently, it needs two rankings still. So, given a choice, please take something with Final Showdown in it.

Dibs group 3

Thank you both...and I guess I'll just take it from here to end this. If anyone decides to do this again, five rounds is probably better than six. Or a change in the overall format.

I guess I'm supposed to post here that I started the actual countdown.
