When I was in a bad place, playing Animal Crossing Wild World was one of the few comforts I had. I distinctly remember going to the coffee shop on Saturday nights to hear K K play whatever. When you're really settled into a game and it means a lot to you, it's the little moments, like with an incomprehensible barking howling and whistling dog in the cafe I frequented every day, it's a comfortable place unlike any other. Luke, unlike everyone else there, knows that comfort. Those moments you just sit and listen. No collecting bugs, no fishing, no pressure to go here or do that... Just listening in the safest place you could imagine.

"It makes me think of studying an octopus" - Luke 2019 That is a very specific yet strangely accurate description.

TL;DR Not a fan of Animal Crossing, but a fan of the music of Animal Crossing. I'm not a fan of the animal crossing series...or any game with no end tbh... but most of k.k. slider music has actually been good, imo. I mean there's so much, i don't like all of them, but the one's i do like leave me with a feeling of serenity, or sadness, or bittersweet. It just depends on which song is playing. Each tone is incredibly well made on an entirely small platform for music, like mario paint, but with all the creativity to change the sound into something recognizable as a genre outside that scope. I mean someone took the sounds of mario bros and turned it into Coheed and Cambria's "welcome home" for crissake. Allbeit that's not in animal crossing, but it could be. I mean you won't get bangers from k.k. slider, but if you appreciate good music, you'll get good music. Im rambling.

I literally got into the video because I saw KK Slider, you go Luke! Also, Animal Crossing is a really relaxing game that makes you appreciate the small things in life and the fact that the colorful background dissappears and fades into black when KK Slider plays music and how the camera spins around in a slow motion while environmental effects play in the background is so soothing, really adds to the whole experience of listening to his music

With the totally awesome intro in doom as well, Is the use of silence. Right after the "shotgun shuk shuk" the music cuts completely, and its quiet...too quiet. It makes the previous metal moment all the more potent. SO good. Gives me goosebumps.

Two songs: the opening screen for Dragon Age: Origins and "Dawn will Come" from Dragon Age: Inquisition. You hear the opening screen music for Origins, and you know that what game it is.

Banjo-Kazooie is basically an interactive "saturday morning cartoon", so the little Looney Tunes-esque ragtime music cues are a perfect fit.

I have to say that the musical soundtrack that I fell in love with the first time I heard it was Neir: Automata's theme park song. I had never really payed attention to music in games before they were usually background noise. But, throughout the entire game the music helped immerse me into the story a bit.

I said it last time but I'll mention it again. "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X. Closest a game has gone to musical perfection for me.

Kingdom hearts simple and clean hit me really hard. Why the song is great, what makes it so good is when you here. It comes after a really hard final boss what felt great to beat, then you have a emotional cutscene and the song starts playing. This all combined makes me still love this song

I was expecting Dearly Beloved from any Kingdom Hearts! Maybe the one from BBS ou KH2. This song is always remixed a little bit for each game but it is purely great

First time playing ME3, i had headphones on. that first Basso blast of the Reaper laser hitting the shuttle hit me so hard....

On rewatching this again, I've realized I would absolutely love to see Andy do some Oxplain videos too. Luke and Andy are both so fun to listen to explaining game history that they're interested in, and they both make it very easy to follow.

One that comes to mind for me is from the Polaris Mission in Control. Going through the Ashtray Maze with the music blasting as you fight and softening whilst you traverse the maze. Truly great... Made me feel like I was in complete control the whole time.

The whole OST of Mass Effect 3. So powerful and sounding like a true space opera. Love the music!

Ellen, you did bring up a good point, when we were able to place the playstation discs in the cd player and listen to the music. Those were some good times. The first time I realize you could do that with was one of the demo discs. Although the first disc i tried it with and was shocked was Street Fighter Alpha for Sega Saturn. We had to return it because it wouldn't work but kept the game, and that was what i would listen to in my cd players when i was walking to school or sleep or just in my room.

Jeremy Soule who did Oblivion and Skyrim totally deserves a shout out on here, but for me his work on Total Annihilation is his real masterpiece

Me: Listening to video with one earbud Luke: "Grab your headphones, everybody!" Me: Puts other earbud in.

I'm so happy the Mass Effect music was in here.

Uncharted World's was most likely the first ever theme I ever fell in love with. I always underestimate how meaningful the Mass Effect series is to me.

I absolutely fell in love with Mystic Cave Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It just lays down this thick funk and overlays these warbling wails that impart a sense of spookyness to the proceedings. LOVE IT.

'Aquitaine' from Freespace 2. Awesome, haunting, creeping orchestral track that played in the hangar before missions. Really added to the 'you are just a small cog i. a much mightier machine' vibe the freespace games had
