Videogames or music?
 

m....MwMw wwW(m M m)Www wMwM....m on 2001-07-13 08:07 [#00014735]



Would you rather have any videogame in existence in the
present (and any that are created as time passes) and NO
MUSIC albums, or any cd's/albums ever created (and the new
ones as they are created) and NO VIDEOGAMES?

I'd go for videogames without a doubt.

I'd go for the music


 

pauwl on 2001-07-13 08:21 [#00014739]



sheesh, music anyday!


 

Wizards Teeth on 2001-07-13 08:23 [#00014740]

hexane from East Hawthorn on 2001-07-13 08:26 [#00014743]



videogames? wtf? give me music anyday. sure games are fun,
but for me creating/listening to music is much more mind
expanding (alliteration)

Thats a tough one.. on one hand Id want music, and on the
other games. Its hard. But... I think id go for tunes.

Although, on Cds there is music.. some of its good too!..
Well I can't answer properly, but lets go with music.

MUSIC!! No f-word doubt!

I like playing video games as well but I can't say that
video games are a part of my life.


 

leftrightronic on 2001-07-13 08:55 [#00014754]



if i was traveling to jupiter fuck video games, dreamcast
and all that shit is only fun for awhile.. even CS. music
keeps your mind fresh and alert in a lot of different ways,
and if i was going on a long space voyage.. all
instrumental, fuck vocals. ever read 2001, music vocals
just depresses you in long space flights because you wish
the voices were real people there with you. anyway most
electronic is instruments and blipz and bleepz so im fine
with listening to that all the way to jupiter or whatever.

heh

C'mon:
gradius 3? Contra 3? Doom2? Super punch out? Command and
Conquer?

Well so far I'm in the minority I guess. They're more
interactive. I don't know, if I couldn't create music too,
it would be a tough decision... I actually can't make up my
mind now.... Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Lemmings, ahhh, I'm
staying with videogames. Definately!


 

m....MwMw wwW(m M m)Www wMwM....m on 2001-07-13 09:14 [#00014760]



What if you only had Come to daddy on the jupiter trip?
Would THOSE vocals make you want people around...?


 

leftrightronic on 2001-07-13 09:18 [#00014761]



uh.. yes i would like big scary aphex monsters chasing me
around kinda like that event horizon movie, fun :)


 

Mescaline on 2001-08-27 14:26 [#00026262]



Well i don't know!
I will choose games with good soundtracks
(Or music with good videostuff??!!)



 

Dave-oh on 2001-08-27 14:51 [#00026264]



Music is very, very important. Games are just for
entertainment. That question was stupid.

Here's a better one: music or SEX? Which one could YOU live
without?


 

Justin Schiz from Stamford, Ct., USA on 2001-08-27 20:07 [#00026278]



id live without sex. i'm gay, and i hate being it.


 

hedtwin from manchester on 2001-08-27 21:11 [#00026299]



come now, music off course!!!!! Music is probably the one
thing i could not live without, If i had to live on an
island and cud have one luxury, it would be a shit load of
music :).


 

hedtwin from manchester on 2001-08-27 21:16 [#00026302]



by sex are u included sex with yourself (i am not tryign to
be vulgar, just need to know)



 

ross on 2001-08-27 21:50 [#00026312]



music, i used to be heavily into videogames, but music
killed that former obsession somewhat (long story..)


 

Dave-oh on 2001-08-27 21:54 [#00026314]



Sex with yourself would also be disallowed. No sexual
pleasure AT ALL. I could definitely not live without that.


 

m....M..Mw )wW(m M m)Ww( wM..M....m from a bird cage on 2001-08-28 01:28 [#00026392]



That'd be impossible. If you never relieved yourself, you'd
eventually go insane and nearly squirt on anything you
touched.


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-08-28 03:38 [#00026409]



Wet dreams every night no thank you. Not being allowed to
wack off? BAH! i say. BAH! between sex or music is easy for
me, i'd go with music. i'd hate it but i'd rather have
music.

i'd choose music over pretty much anything though.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 03:39 [#00026410]



I dunno thats hard to go at... SEx.


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-28 04:47 [#00026426]



b/w music and games... music no bloody doubt..games can't
enveloupe and surround you like music can...music and
sex...hmm from personal experience i gave up music for love
for a long time...I still dont play live or anything like
that partially because I decided to move down here to be
with my wife...


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-28 04:48 [#00026428]



Cool.


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-28 04:54 [#00026434]



:B


 

phexian from ? on 2001-08-28 07:11 [#00026483]



i'd take music because i make music. it is a game, in it's
own way..


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-28 21:51 [#00026697]



yeah like FLUID !!

Videogames= light plus sound plus interaction/competition
with the computer. Music= only sound. I think that many of
you aren't good at videogames, maybe that's why you don't
like them as much. Or you're playing the wrong games. Don't
you get that nervous feeling when you've just gotten past
some point that's almost impossible to beat and that feeling
of knowing that one false move with one life left can end
your game and you'll have to start at the beginning again.
The main thing music has over videogames IMHO is that people
have made it easy to create music, making it more personal
and formed more exactly how one desires. If they had plenty
of software for fairly easy to make videogames, that would
be even better.


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-08-29 00:45 [#00026773]



Bzzzttt..Wrong..Sound is more Immersive because when done
right it can fill a room like the very air you breathe..
plus theres only one sense involved so the illusion can be
more or less complete..our auditory sense is the most well
developed because it's the first sense we are start using,
yep right in the mommy's tum tum...with games you are still
bound (and to me distracted) by a rectangular screen..both
sight and sound have to confer and construe for
informations..hence there's always gaps in the resulting
atmosphere..
until the age of completely surround VR specs being included
with every console and PC sold...sounds still the king!!!


 

m....M..Mw )wW(m M m)Ww( wM..M....m from a bird cage on 2001-08-29 01:22 [#00026790]



Good arguments. But have you played super punch out for SNES
or punch out on nes. The sound and visuals blend together
beautifully. I love hitting the narciss prince and hearing
him go "waaa oh" every time. It's natural for the brain to
inter-relate sound and visuals. Drop a can of pennies, and
what you hear will be a similar alteration of what you see.
It is cool to use only one sense in artistic creation or
observation though. Or sonic the hedgehog, where every time
you get an extra life it goes "bum ba da dum da BA da... da
BUM da BUM da BUM!" ha ha ha, hilarious! It's not just the
sound, but the acquirement of an item that will aid you in
your battle against the computer a.i. Or in battletoads on
gameboy, the sound of that giant rolling rock isn't a just a
sound, but the sound OF a rock chasing you for 3 minutes
while your heart is pacing trying to get your mind
(augmented by your fingers on the controller- (the
controller shouldn't even be noticed by the player in the
best case design)) to control the visuals. Games today are
becoming movies, with less control. Randomness is also great
in games. Doom 2 was so great (better than goldeneye ex.)
because the monsters interacted in a way that the same level
would not be the same twice, simply due to many objects
interacting in chaos. In goldeneye, the level was pretty
much the same every time. Doom 2 was also a MODIFIED 2d (not
3d)! That's crazy when you think about it geometrically, but
it actually worked logically.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-29 02:58 [#00026813]



Suoer Punch out was the bomb.. which one are you talkin
about though, there were 2.


 

discobickie from oz on 2001-08-29 05:11 [#00026834]



Dude Im ticking both boxes, music AND Videogames.


 

m....M..Mw )wW(m M m)Ww( wM..M....m from a bird cage on 2001-08-29 12:16 [#00027215]



Both punchouts for snes and nes. Also games like joust for
atari are so simple that the sound and visuals easily go
with one another if programmed right. Like the pteradactle
and the sound of warping back in after you've been defeated.


 

r3fl3x from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-08-29 12:17 [#00027216]



ahhh those are some memories.. remember Atari.. and the
c64!.. the oldes of the old...crazy stuff.
