Suggestion: maybe include the current set of prompts in the OP to make them easy to find?



I'm treating this as a music sharing thing with a theme, so if multiple came to mind, rather than picking one I just put both.

Done! Good suggestion I think I'll start doing that from now on.

Come now, that's clearly not in the spirit of the game:

1) You will be given three short descriptions of a certain type of video game music, and it's up to you to write down the title of one specific video game track...

Ah yes, good shout. OK:

I've updated my original entry as well.

Also, @Proxima - whilst we're reminding each other of the rules, please be sure to put my quote (in your previous message) in spoiler tags as per requirement 2. Cheers ;P 8-)

Good game idea Nessy, :) I like this one. It gets people talking about the games and music.

1.1:
Favourite music, now that's almost impossible to do within an hour. :P I'd have to first think of nominations for a while, and then listen to them all to rate them. I've got a list of nominations for Menu music for a video that I would like to do once... but that's a bit different from Title Screen music, I'd say.
After a minute of contemplation...

1.2:
Hm, a game I haven't played yet...

However, you could say that doesn't count, as I have played the game on GBA. Here's from a game I haven't played at all, then:

1.3:
I could only think of one game that was released in my year of birth, 1999, and it is my most played game of all time.

Man... That took an hour longer than I had planned. :lem-mindblown: I guess I should have expected it to take so long. :lix-laugh: It's really cool that so many people participated, thank you all! If you can, include a sentence or two about your pick, I think that makes it more fun. :) Unless other people disagree, of course. ;)

Now that I think most people have uploaded their choices, I'll start giving feedback on the tracks I listen to, and will update this post as I listen to more.

Ah, it seems that the little challenge I had with my friends made it to the Forum. I know that I'm late now (I was away for a few days) but if you allow me to, I'd like to put back my choices here too, since not everyone has access to Discord. Also, I'd like to point out that my choices are not my favourites per say, since my friends and I had additional rules to make things "spicier" (mine was to not reuse a game franchise twice).

As the next round is about to start, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions:

* I know it's not always possible, but please try to find videos of the music at its normal length rather than "extended". It takes enough time as it is to listen to all the entries without some of them being spread out for half an hour!
* If you have a playlist link (it will have "&list=" in the middle), cut out the "&list=" and everything after that. Again, this just makes it easier to listen to your picks.

I see what you mean, but most videos on YouTube fade the track out after the track's played twice (that's what I do myself :P). I don't know of many that fade it out after one.
(by the way, shouldn't these posts about etiquette and such be in the other topic? :$)

It's alright. If it turned into a discussion then yes.

So I wasn't expecting so many people to participate which is awesome! However, it does mean that maybe it's for the best to slightly tweak the deadline for this round to give people more time to listen and respond. So I think I'll change the end of this current round to July 25 at 13:30 UTC.

To quickly summarise a discussion we just had on discord:

I agree with Nessy that with the participation level being so high, it makes sense for each round to last longer than the originally planned 3 days, so that people have time to listen and respond to each other's picks. However, participation level will probably stay high, so it would be best to stick to the same round length throughout the game. I felt that going all the way up to 7 days would slow things down too much, as while it's nice to have time to respond properly to each other, I'm also excited about getting the next set of prompts. I think 5 days per round is a good compromise.
