Begone with that shitty version. Here is the :obviously: Original on a real Roland Sound Canvas.



One of my favorite trivia facts about SS1 is that Greg LoPiccolo, the guy that did the music for SS1, went on to become the Project Lead on Thief 1. It's basically what Looking Glass did in a nutshell: find ridiculously talented people and give them a little freedom to experiment with other jobs throughout the company. Soon you have LoPiccolo going from audio director to project lead, or Terri Brosius going from voice actor to cutscene writer to level developer.

And for a SS2 music trivia fact: working on SS2's music was one of the first professional gigs for Ramin Djawadi, who is the composer for Game of Thrones (including the opening track).

LGS didn't do anything, they just were MIT graduates. As nerdy as you can get.

Nerds make best games. Real nerds, not modern hipster shit I'M SUCH A NERD

Yes, I'm quoting the post and video here, but go listen to the music in Jaesun's post and watch that avatar at the same time...

EDIT: Nuts, Jaesun changed his avatar. Oh well, something good came out of this.

most stupid part of tv tropes is the broadness of tropes- they basically have a page for every single thing you can imagine, it's basically an encyclopedia of every little imaginable thing that has ever appeared in nerd media, with lots of quotation and autistic descriptions and catalogations.

Anyway I think it was commonly accepted by now that tv trope is total shit, reading that poster obliviously linking to it felt like traveling back in time.

I find it a very usefull website. Sure, it has a lot of fluff, but you can easily sort out what's relevant if you have a decently working brain...

I only tried to use tv tropes when i really really like a trope and want to find books that use it.
I never found out new information. Fucking tv zombies.

That's what you get from too much multi-platform popamole shooters.
