It's okay I guess. I just feel that the original is better. Then again, the original KIU soundtrack is very hard to top.

Aldelaro confirmed to not be able to handle the SLAM
The fact that USUALLY, I dislike music with voices might also not help.

I tell you it is VERY rare that I enjoy voices in music. The only time that it happened is when I feel the music was designed to merge with the voice and the flow of the voice seems to be natural even tough it wasn't JUST the voice. In most cases, I feel the voice could be alone and really would do the same meaning, but the music that goes with them usually isn't specifically suited to make the voice more natural. When I hear a music with voice, I should never feel the music is separated from the voice because it would cause too much distraction. It's like my mind would be splitted between decoding the music and the words in 2 separate task...that creates less efficiency because that is the drawback of multitasking: you loose efficiency on individuals task the more task you do at the same time, but you gain in having the same efficency overall with differents task.

And actually, there's one thing I haven't told here yet: my mind is overconcentrated by default.

What this means is I can't stay still and do nothing because I do have concentration put to do so, but in most of the time, there's a considerable leftover that my brain learned how to use it. So, basically, if I stand still, I cannot prevent myself to balance me from left to right. By doing so (it is a reflex btw), I get less concentration to stay still, but I still have more than enough to not change anything.

There's other stuff like for intensive thinking which isn't heavy on my concentration, I realised that being in slightly fast movement like just walking fast without running, it would adjust my concentration level enough to think a lot more efficiently because if I stay still and try to think, I have so much unused concentration that it just overflows and I have to really try harder to sort of fill this unused part by just thinking which really lowers significantly my efficiency.

That is the bad side, but knowing that, there's a VERY good advantage: For task that needs high concentration level, I can simply entirely focus my energy on that task and have more concentration than usual people because by default, it is overconcentrated, but for intensive task, it is fine or a bit higher.

For example, as I type this, this is very intense. I have to think carefully while I type (and typing is something that demands good concentration). By doing both at the same time, I have no weird habits. My concentration is just fine with how it's used and so, it gets a more efficient task unlike the average level which would need to split more the task for the same result.

TL;DR: for intensive concentration, I can be more efficient while it also doesn't change the result in the end, but the effort I will do to get to that is lower.

Which brings me back to music and voices: hearing a music isn't heavy on concentration so, I like to do stuff at the beat, but with voices...that's more demanding. Decoding a speech is already very demanding because you listen, you decode in the language (quick access because you should know that language) and then you synthesise its meaning. Synthetising is demanding. Normally, if you focus entirely on listening to a speech, it's more than enough, but hearing a music at the same time...you want to make sure it doesn't overflow because it would make the words or the music more annoying to decode.

If however the speech feels like it was merged with the music, you will focus on the words while you have a very quick and easy access to decoding the whole sounds.

^This, however, is VERY rare. I usually feel the music is separated and it just split and so, the whole effort of the song is now less worthy than you would have wanted.

That is the reason I love vgm so much. I tried classical and I really should try more because I noticed a very similar feel to vgm in the way that by entirely focusing on something simple to decode, I have more room to decode the meaning. I tried turkish marsh and I really seem to enjoy it, but I still need to get why exactly I like it...

And of course, my sensitive hearing lead me to be very picky on quality.

Again, this is also the main reason stereo isn't just useful for immersion, but allows a lot more possibilities. By getting sounds in different ears, you help the decoding process by feeling more like all these channels are not separated but forms one big cercle that is the audio. If you try to play a stereo designed music on mono, it will get harder to decode because you would receive a lot more infos at the same seconds all coming from one place. So, you would maybe not even notice some sounds even though they are perfectly audible...but with effort.

But mono isn't bad in itself. It really depends on the music. After all, nes music was mono, but they were also designed to be on mono. This explains why they can be so good and yet, very rudimentary by having so few sounds every seconds. For example, the famous willy castle from mm2 is very simple to get and to decode because the flow of it is made to be fitting for one track.

The major drawback mono has is if you put too much sounds on the track...you would only get the same decoding, but with more efforts.

And of course, this also allows better immersion, but most of the time, stereo is used to make decoding easier and then maybe it gets oriented on stereo, but that depends on the composer.

Paper Mario series ost style is simple, it's filled with sfx and impacting sounds (even the smoothest music have very impacting sounds, but suited to be smooth). A good example is listen to march ahead from pm64. You should hear a sounds that sounds like a dog. Now, don't get me wrong, why?

Simply because it mixes with the main track to produce more specific atmosphere.

whole post TL;DR: it's very important in songs that the decoding process shouldn't ask effort or it will get harder to get the meaning the composer wanted.

Oh no, I meant as a local after-school tournament.
  1. Get people who would participate
  2. Once you get enough you get a teacher/principal
  3. Convince them (you will need other people) to hold it in a room
  4. Find a teacher who would agree to supervise and take the money.
  5. Host tourney
  6. Get money
  7. Donate
  8. ???

Seems logical. I'll talk to the leaders of the gaming club and anime club if they're interested.

So I'm testing out King Dedede just for fun. I keep destroying people with him. Man, FG can't even handle him. That's sad.

I think I've made the biggest troll in my life with Dr.Mario. I faced a guy on FG on played Lucario. The battle was intense because he was playing extremly defensively. The game was going to go on a sudden death. When the announcer was counting from to game, he goes off stage to make a fake suicide. So I go with Dr.Mario, trying to put him down. My UpB connects, make him hit the stage to spike him right to his death. He died when the announcer said 1.

I need to take a video of this.

This is exactly what happen with my Robin and Sheik! Well, almost. I hit her with my dash attack and killed her right after the announcer said 1!

I can't wait till people start lashing at critics for not giving it a perfect score.
It's bound to happen.

IGN's review.
:troll:
lol Looks like too much water is the next meme. Thanks IGN for making a completely invalid point of "Too much water" on the Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire review.

You know how TBoI had the Subtitle "Wrath of the Lamb"?
Well in Rebirth there actually is a "The Lamb" Super-Boss.
About time the game made sense.

So adding to the scores on Metacritic you have GameXplain's "loved it" (which is their maximum) and ZeldaInformer's 5 Reggies (which is their maximum). Dats gud. Oh and @ RamOne RamOne you have won the internet today. That image is too much water funny! :)
