Satellite Cop ”JEFF” YouTube video by hisakuni - Topic

I'd like to share a discovery with you.
Behold: Axel フ

two cards from the video linked in the previous post. they read: Andy Armer realized that his advantage in the games industry had run dry during a fateful incident in 2002: he scored a lucrative 18-month contract to score Ubisoft's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (for Playstation). But... When he got home, he got a call from the studio: "Turns out we can just stream music from the movie!".

this story is so wild to me. a painful portent of a changing industry.
i have a suspicion that this experience is not uncommon for people in the games industry, given enough time

ever notice how some of the tunes in Ecco Jr were super lush? how about the depths of funk in Genesis sports titles?
turns out there was a billboard-topping composer behind that.

michael grisham posts in 1993: Give a survey to any intelligent individual highlighting the specs and the prices, and of course the 3DO would not be chosen over the Jag. Slapping the word multimedia on a piece of hardware doesn't justify such a high pricetag. If they don't lower the price soon, 3DO will be the next CD-I, and no, that is not a good thing.

Jim Carroll posts in 1994: What makes us think that telephone and cable companies know what the consumer wants? Listen to senior executives of Stentor, and you will hear the word 'multimedia' sprinkled throughout the conversation. The word is almost stated with reverence, as if multimedia is the solution to all the ills placed on the company by telecommunication deregulation. Yet, what makes us think these nice people at Stentor even have a clue what they are talking about? They certainly don't have a good track record. Do any of us remember Telidon? Alex? iNet?

The majority of sound card owners is a mix of gamers and novice PC users. And I still don't like the word "multimedia". It's still draws a picture more like Encarta in my mind instead of something like say, Civilization.

Brian Phillips posts in 1996: I am sick to death of the word "multimedia". I hate hearing it. I hate seeing it. I hate thinking about it. Now, I like the CONCEPT. And I like the hardware. BUT THE WORD HAS GOT TO GO. Or at least several new words need to be coined that can be used interchangeably so that I don't have to see "multimedia" EVERYWHERE. Right out of the box I am taking more notice of the sound card than of the CD drive; the drive is just another drive, and it comes with a few more programs. So, I've got a few new programs; my shareware collection grows all the time, so what's a few more programs? (Yeah, yeah, I know; don't lecture me. The CD programs are much more VAST than anything else.) But almost ALL my programs have had a new dimension opened up with the addition of sound. No, that should be: ...with the addition of SOUND. No more beep beep, beep beep, like the Roadrunner caught in a temporal loop. But I'm sure that the CD drive will earn its keep. It's just not as noticeable as the sound card.

in the mid/early 90s, everyone hated the word "multimedia". it does have a specific definition: text, audio, video, and data combined into a single package. but it was overhyped and lost all meaning.
these usenet posts illustrate the sentiment.
neat right?
anyway, have you heard of AI?

I have a suspicion that it mirrors today by having three sort of tiers:
1. the hypemen that think it's the super future, who are making the most noise and writing most of the record.
2. the everyman that sees the hype and hates it
3. most ppl/everyone else. who doesnt know or care

OK NEVERMIND AGAIN
this does have interesting implications for the timeline of John's Sega Channel Menu song, though. but I already voiced that in my original apparently-correct-the-first-time video

a frame from my youtube video where the on-screen card reads: "Or maybe it's someone's pastiche of John's style?" followed by a comment from TheBricksterr that reads: "I'm fairly sure the SEGA Channel music you showed in the video is actually by David Javelosa, with no involvement from John Baker. He has a video on his channel, m1crowave, that says the compositions were by him. He also commented on the recent SEGA Channel documentary thing."

i had a suspicion that this song was scored by someone else but couldnt find a source. well, the easiest way to find a source is to be publicly wrong 😭
sorry to David Javelosa!

wym this guy's FIRST game score was Toejam & Earl YouTube video by GST Channel

NEW MIX! today, we're exploring the works of John Baker, from his start(!) with Toejam&Earl and beyond. it's funky.
premieres in about 15 minutes! let's go!

a youtube comment replying to my channel which reads as follows: to be fair, I didn't actually watch the video..."

sometimes you'll get somewhere with a reply that affirms their experience + expands on it, like: "yep, that was the commonly understood explanation for a long time! makes you wonder where that came from since it's so different than what the designer said."
but then sometimes you'll get this, lol

i find it fascinating! it means my video found them before they were ready, or perhaps they'll never reach a point where i could connect to them on the topic.
on the surface, it's just a mean or negative comment, but beneath that i think it offers a glimpse into how others interpret the world

these are techniques i've used to find consistent bangers in record shops. if you aren't watching gst you're missing out so hard.

ive gotten several comments giving me kudos for putting in the work to dig for music, avoiding algorithms, and disconnecting from spotify
which is nice and all but it feels like... [see gif].
ive always been like this, yall. i'm obsessed.

how do you find more music like xyz game music? [QUICKVID] YouTube video by GST Channel

QUICKVID: how do you find music like game music? i have some thoughts.

As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels.

"some sort of algorithmic trickery." yknow, i might be kinda slow but uhh. this is prolly related to noodle's excellent video that delves into a similar message about how the medium shapes the media.
it's kind of funny contrasting how we approached similar ideas.

i don't really want to highlight any particular comment but i will say that it's quite flattering to be called a zoomer

not to dunk on ppl who miss the point, or be hoity toity about "ppl watching it wrong". it's just wild to write interpretable words and then actually watch them be interpreted. even if it's in ways i did not intend

they keep saying these are the best graphics yet... YouTube video by GST Channel

this video is popping off again recently. some sort of algorithmic trickery.
i still read all the comments. there's still a pretty consistent spread between people who completely miss the point of the video and ppl who don't.
it's kinda fascinating

oh yeah! i didn't think of that!
though i think calling this a collab is a bit of a stretch :P

animations for blank vhs covers YouTube video by scibot9000

in my head, i have a nebulous idea of what goes to GST Channel and what goes to my personal channel, but sometimes I'll make something that I think both audiences would enjoy.
so, here, have a little animated art piece i made. just for fun

i think that "3d techniques" simply have a broader appeal than "sonic r musics".....

i still read every comment. they're mostly positive! but sometimes i think people that will never like my videos will still watch and interact with them. it's odd to witness, but not like... distressing.

a youtube algorithm has hit the video
