Video Game Music goodies or Mac cannot shut up about Hyadain.
 

I love me some video game music. Infact for the longest time I was working on vg music blog (on hiatus due to family drama + stress wee) and I have covered a wide variety of topics from the Nerdcore stylings of Random aka MegaRan (I even got a song dedicated to me) to the criminally overlooked Belmont album from Megabeardo to various OCReMix albums (which got me noticed by the OCReMix judging staff :dance: )

On my computer at this moment I have 5 gigs of music (not alot compared to some I know)

I have countless favourites depending on my mood so I ask to you good denizens of NPF, what are some of your favourites.

Anything by McVaffe. Fond of AmIEvil. Partial to DJ_Starchild.

Basically anything from classic OCR. I still listen to OCR almost every day. :D

I got the Xenoblade soundtrack on my computer, but most of my "nerd music that no one with any taste in music wants to listen to" is anime sound tracks.

By "taste in music," I refer to a preference for music about fucking strangers while intoxicated. This is what the radio tells me hyu-mahns like to listen to.

But, going way back to what you were actually talking about, I like "One Girl in All the World" and "All the World in One Girl." The latter especially. Also Ragnarok Online's soundtrack is enough to make me forget what an awful game it is.

Many of the songs in the Ragnarok Online soundtrack are quite nice.

I will never NOT bring up Bastion's soundtrack in a thread about video game music.

The Xenoblade Soundtrack is a must have and top contender for best soundtrack from that year. Some of the tracks feel like a successor to Chrono Trigger's music.

I also love the TWEWY soundtrack and the Jet Grind radio tracks

I've never actually played Neotokyo (it's an fps mod for half-life I think) but the soundtrack is fantastic. Link 1. Link 2. I used to just leave it on loop when I played Warframe or Dota 2 or Smite. I've probably listened to the entirety of both albums over 30 times, and that's a conservative guess.

And for something completely different, there's the Payday 2 soundtrack, which does a great job of getting your blood pumping. Note, tracks 29 and 30 are from the Hotline Miami heist DLC, so they will sound familiar to anyone who has played HM.

Also seconding Bastion (and here is a bandcamp link if you want to know the individual songs).

And while we're at it, here's the Transistor soundtrack for good measure.

I like to classify music as belonging to one of several ranks. Those are good, great, masterpiece, archetype and The Awakening:

It's very favoritest song in the world. It takes me right back to being sixteen years old and discovering the tiny world in my SNES cartridge all by myself, for myself; feeling at once crushed and elevated by all the strangeness and wonder and beauty of the world; falling in love for the first time and living out stories in my head about the saddest, bravest heroes; holding up a tape recorder to the television to try and capture the magic and listening to it every night as I fell asleep and trying to share it with people and seeing them get it even just a little bit.

I expect you guys get it a little more.

The FTL soundtrack is great! I would also recommend Binding of Isaac and Super Meatboy too. Arcade-y background music.

Anything by Jeremy Soule, from his first outing with Secret of Evermore:



to Guild Wars 1 and 2.

Seconding FTL, which has some really cool music.
