Welcome to today's topic for Video Game Music Contest 14, a tournament of the best tracks from games, as decided upon by you, the voters.

Rules:
- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then. (Matches do not begin until at least 10:00 EDT.)
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

I keep getting Alto - Endless Desert & Aka - Desert mixed up in my head, which is annoying because I like one and dislike the other. Short Game Name That Starts With An 'A' Song Is A Desert. This is the one of those two that I like. But I like Final Destination a lot more.

very good day today. Final Destination is something I think is very cool, but An Endless Desert is something I think is VERY HOT (get it? because it is a desert !) Loser of this match is definitely getting points from me in the wildcard.

Yay this round I finally get to vote for deoxyribose!!!! I LOVE BASISCAPE

Wait, Final Destination actually made the bracket? Must've missed its first round match. Shame; I remember listening to it during nominations and thinking "I could've sworn this track wasn't that bad when I actually played this game."

Yeah, this doesn't sound familiar either; I must've missed this day of Round 1. It also doesn't sound like something that belongs in Round 2, which is still one round further than FD64 sounds like it belongs. Seriously, why does a final boss have a theme that sounds better suited for a menu?

Oh, wait, that's right, this is division A3. Or, well, that match was. This one's A4, which I remember being only mildly better. So I didn't miss it; I just blocked it out of my memory. Well, I can't count on the board getting the wild cards perfect so I guess I still have to vote for Snake Eater here, even though the only way we can actually get two deserving retirees out of this mess would be for Snake Eater to win the A4 wild card and Flightless to win the A3.

Snake Eater >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> seriously why are there so many bad songs in the same portion of the bracket

SNAKE EATER let's GOOO! I'm voting for it even though I have gotten tired of it. If I had heard that song for the first time, today, I would be amazed.
