Remember that time when I made those 3 videogame mixes and said I was gonna make more and then 2 years went by and now it’s today and I finally made another one? That’s a fun memory. We had a lot of fun then. And I mean it this time when I say I’m going to try to work these ones back into the mixtape schedule.
I’ve heard from a few people that these are good to listen to when you’re doing homework, if that’s your thing. I personally like to listen to them while masturbating with my own lonely tears having mind blowing sex. So whatever.
Some new games have been released in the past couple years since the last set, so stuff like Scott Pilgrim, Minecraft, Skyrim, and Portal 2 are represented here along with old favorites like Donkey Kong Country 2, Zelda, and the Final Fantasy/Chrono Games (and like I said before, it’s kind of hard to make choices from those games when literally every one of the 60+ choices from each soundtrack is perfect). There are also some seemingly weird choices like The Smurfs and Waterworld. But don’t hate til you listen, because that’s kind of the fun thing about old games that suck. The music can sometimes still be incredible.
From indie favorites to flagship blockbusters, 8 bit square waveforms to beautiful orchestrations, this is the real shit. The stuff that most people often overlook as throwaway entertainment. Child’s play. A class of music filled with long lost gems, waiting to be rediscovered by the tip of a pixelated diamond pickaxe.
