Board 8 > VGM Guessing Game 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

The first game was a roaring success amongst the three people who played, and the People are clamoring for another one, so I was thinking we could do it sometime this Saturday at whatever time is convenient. The next's game's list was sponsored by VGMC extraordinaire azuarc, so you know it'll be good.

Please play. Just drop in and listen to good songs at the very least and guess if you have a clue as to what it is. If you want to make a list and submit it for the rest of us to hear, play at least sometimes.

There's a non-zero chance that I'll be busy during the game, but since I know the list, I wouldn't be playing anyway. In this case, azuarc will be running it himself.

Tag if you're interested and say when you're available.

Tag for now

no guarantees I can make it (and I'm not the best participant anyway since I'm generally not great with VGM)
---

I'm available at pretty much any time when I'm awake, usually between about 2:30 pm and 4 am CST (except tuesdays/thursdays, when I'll be busy with class from 4 to 7 pm)

Also kinda disappointed at the idea of waiting another full week to get this going, but I guess that's just me being too impatient
---

Run it myself, eh? Guess you'll have to show me how to work the bot.

Anyway, I'm toying with the notion of making a second list that's a smidge easier so that we don't get past the early questions and then just all stare at each other waiting for me to reveal the answer. Assuming I do, which list we'll use will depend on how many people show up. (If we get at least 5, I may just YOLO the original.)

I'll tag this, but I'm busy often enough that it'll basically just be if I happen to be available whenever you guys happen to have it I'll probably participate

This is why we're talking about availability and interest. I work Mon, Thu, Fri evenings, and Sat until mid-afternoon (eastern).
---

oh yeah I also submitted a list but I feel like I might it fairly challenging mostly because of how hard the original list was

hopefully people can get those
---

Wednesday evening works for me
---

I should be able to make it provided I don't forget amidst my playing of Cold Steel 2.
---

Tag

should be available saturday, except for 4pm to ~7pm pst
---

I won't be available for roughly two weeks, so I will hopefully see everyone in the third edition.
---

Oh no I missed the first one? I'd like to show up for this, my free time is usually after 7pm EST weekdays (except Tuesday), and on weekends. I sometimes have other random stuff going on during those free times though (such as Wednesday this week is not free).

Also is there a link to songs from the first one anywhere?

I've got a list of songs, but not a playlist. Want me to make one?
---

If you had a playlist, I'd enjoy going through and just guessing myself when I have a chance.
---

Alright, give me a sec.

Difficulty levels: 12 Easy, 10 Medium, 10 """Hard""", 4 Insane

Just so you know, the difficulty curve on this is completely fucked. I converted a list that I'd already made which stole a bunch of songs from recent B8 contests that I had to replace last minute. For example, one song in Hard has no Wikipedia page and is from a series probably 6 people in the world have heard of.

Songs: https://pastebin.com/1JJ5RQ7W

I'll make a whole master paste of all of the songs used, along with playlists, after each round.

Today's lesson of the day: Having not paid as much attention to vgm the past few years like I did before, there are a lot of new games out there with soundtracks I am completely unfamiliar with.

Also, oof, there were a lot of hard ones on that list

nobody knows what the fuck ginga force is but it sure has a banging soundtrack
---

Okay lol, I actually had listened to Ginga Force's soundtrack before. It was mostly because I saw Yasuhisa Watanabe worked on part of it along with other Supersweep members. I wouldn't be able to recall most of it now, but I have listened to that one!
---

The group of us who were there and guessing got almost nothing after the FTL track. I only knew one from #16 on, and I ended up winning (mostly because I was quick on the draw in the early going when the songs were well-known).
---

So, uh, just to recoup, what are the availabilities of interested parties on Saturday?
---

Never heard of Ginga Force, but this track is boppin'

might throw it a support nom for the VGMC
