23:32 <+CHz> Crash, is it wrong to nominate something to SotW just because of the track and album name?
23:32 <@Crash> I suppose not.
23:32 <@Crash> Don't expect victory though.
23:32 <+CHz> Luckily this song happens to be pretty :rock:in.

I must be the only person in #gfchat who doesn't save logs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You don't have to divide your points by the traditional 3-2-1 allocations. You can mix the points anyway you wish:

2-2-2 (This group stood out but none were more special than the other.)
3-1-1-1 (I'm helping out my own nomination and spreading the rest of the love so I don't look greedy.)
2-2-1-1 (There were a lot of good tracks, making this week hard to decide.)
2-1-1-1-1 (A mixed bag; most were okay but not great.)
1-1-1-1-1-1 (Worst week ever. I really don't care what wins as long as it's not the two tracks I snubbed.)

Feel free to reallocate the points as you like if you really think another track deserves some love too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This week was slightly above average. Most tracks were either good or just ordinary.

3 Points: Wild Arms the Vth Vanguard Original Score Vol. 1 - Seeking the Blue Sky
2 Points: Technosoft GAME MUSIC COLLECTION VOL.15 ~ BEST OF THUNDER FORCE - Fighting Back (ST1)
1 Point: The Sword of Xuan Yuan 4 - The Black Dragon Dances and the Cloud Flows (PC Game Rip) - Four24

No thanks: Freespace 2 (Game Rip) - Ending Score

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, two out of three isn't bad.

I really didn't care for the Hacker Elite track. I felt it meandered far too long and never delivered anything even close to a suitable payoff for the time invested. Every time I felt as though it was moving toward an escalation in the melody and pacing, it merely switched up the ambient sound effects.

I'm not one to hate on ambience; most times, I'll throw it a point if it's decent. But eleven minutes is much too long. "Uplink" was, to me, VGM's version of a used car salesman, feeding me just enough to keep me interested, yet never delivering on any of the promise of excitement. In the end, I felt like I'd been bamboozled.

I would've liked to see Four24 or Let's Go! Necromancer take that space instead.

But what can you do?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
