I'm really surprised that a couple of mine got such a low score, but to each their own I guess. Honestly I think we need some more NES music fans actually voting in the live stream lol.

I knew I probably wasn't going to win because of all the "nostalgic" songs were already chosen, but I kinda expected a couple of the songs to do better.

Great competition everyone and congrats to David and yoshi and tyranit for doing so well!

Vanelan : so much for us doing well! lol WOW! Sorry man

Davideo7 : Wow, I didn't even get to participate in the stream, and got 2nd?! I am impressed. Hope to participate in the next music stream though.

Surprised not to finish in the top 5. One good thing that did come from this contest though, the fact that there's no more nightbot and moobot! David burned them with fire and left them to rot!

yoshirulez! :
tyranit :

Since you guys both got 2nd place, you'll be splitting the 2nd and 3rd place prizes. I owe you guys either 17,500 Viz or $5. Let me know which one you want.


Jordanv78 : I think we need more retro gaming fans in general in these streams. I was shocked to see some really good retro music get such low ratings. I think if more older users joined the streams, we'd get a better balance of ratings when doing older systems.

Users usually don't rate songs very high if they've never played them before I've noticed. My Blaster Master Area 1 song only got a 3.3 rating and most retro gamers would easily place that on the top 25 best NES songs ever. Also my Snake Man and Gyruss song got perfect scores in previous music competitions but this time got 4 out of 5 (still not bad but they were the highest rated songs in the competitions they were in).

Wow ,i got a score of 1.3 points  I did a neat job!

Davideo7 : I'll take the $5, send it to my Paypal, I'll send it to you again.

tyranit : $5 sent.

Jordanv78 : I guess the greatness of lesser known music just can't compete with the power of nostalgia.
It didn't help me either that my trump card was nowhere to be found. (The Solstice theme song)

Congrats to all the winners.
See you next competition. :3

Vanelan : Isn't nostalgia the reason we like any of these retro songs though? All of the songs you picked were probably chosen based on your experience with those games you've played. I'll admit that most of the songs I picked were from games I played a lot when I was younger (and all of the songs were from games that I've played before).

Sometimes a game is what makes a song great and if someone hasn't played the game, they may not appreciate the music that goes along with it. I think this is definitely the case with a lot of these songs.

Davideo7 : Yeah I see your point. Certainly people are looking more for the games/songs that they recognize.

I guess my point was that it would be nice to have people that have a better appreciation for "chiptunes" sometimes in the past when I've attended these events, it seems that some of the users in the streams don't really like this type of music to begin with. Which is their right. Just would be nice if we could get a good group of people that really can appreciate that medium of music.

Jordanv78 : Yeah I do agree that we get a lot of users in these streams that don't like chiptune music. There's always a few users who constantly complain about how bad all of the music is. I'd rather that those users just didn't show up to the streams, I want users there who want to be there to listen to and enjoy the music.

Davideo7 : Well, regardless, it was a lot of fun and I know I enjoyed it. :3

Jordanv78 : I felt the same way. I was expecting a few of mine to be a bit risky (like the Wolverine Title theme), but some of them I don't understand at all. 2.9 for Silver Surfer and Gimmick? Seriously? To each their own, but... I can't even begin to comprehend that.

Davideo7 : I'd like the $5 please

But uh, what form is that in? I know it isn't cash, but idk what it is.

Davideo7 : I can not see this uploaded vizzed stream to YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWqcDyYJiX4
