Alissa asked what I exercise to, and 99% of the time, it’s fast video game music.

I’ve been listening to a lot of SSBB music (yay obsession). Not a lot of them are uber-fast, but nothing stops me from going double-speed!

Zelda II: The Great Temple
Zelda – LTTP: Dark World
Zelda – LA: Tal Tal Heights (this one’s great for speed)
Kirby’s Air Ride: Legendary Air Ride
Kirby Dream Land: King DeDede’s Theme (also very fast)
Kirby Super Star: Gourmet Race (LOL, heavy metal version…)
Kirby Air Ride: Checker Knights (can’t get Nicovideo clip out of my head…)
Star Fox: Corneria
Fire Emblem: With Mila’s Divine Protection
Fire Emblem ~ Blazing Sword: Attack
Mother 3: Unfounded Revenge ~ Smashing Song of Praise
Animal Crossing: Go K.K. Rider! (just don’t let anyone hear you listen to it, it’s really weird…)
Kid Icarus: Underworld (I actually hate this theme with a passion, but it’s a march and it gets stuck in my head)
Clu Clu Land: Main Theme (LOL)
SSBB: Master Hand Battle (AKA Final Destination)
SSBM: Mother (Melee ver.)
SSBM: Fire Emblem (Melee ver.)
SSBM: Temple (Melee ver.)
SSBB: Opening (it works better than you think)
SSBB: Menu
SSBB: Battlefield
SSBB: SSE – Step: Plains (cooldown)
SSBB: SSE – Boss Battle (oh God yes, I will put this on repeat sometimes)

I do have a different playlist for non-SSBB music that contains a lot of fast Digimon vocals, Ys (YsF, Ys6, YsO), Wild ARMs, Valkyrie Profile, Trusty Bell, Mana series (all of them), some Final Fantasy, Disgaea, and some English vocal (Offspring, Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.), but not all of them are fast. I skip the slow ones when I exercise. ^^; I’ll try to find a way to list this…

Creepy…

I play a lot of video games, ya? Way, way back in 1990, Capcom released Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers for the NES. (Yes, I’m old, stop laughing.) The game was hard as fuck, but the last stage, as painful as it was, had the best music EVER.

Since then, I’ve been dreaming of remixing the shit out of the track, but anyone who’s heard it before knows that it’d be horrible to track. So tonight I found a NSF to MIDI converter and used it to get the bad part done.

Except what it does is simply dump the note information without any care for the original tempo of the file. So here we have a 180 bpm song tracked at 60 bpm — with unreadable 16th notes. I played around with the file (default uses Acoustic Piano for everything, which is hard to listen to, so I changed it all to square leads like in the original) and gave up in disgust.

But… I apparently tried this before. I looked in my NSF folder, and sure enough, there was another MIDI of the same track in there… with the channels all changed to square leads, BPM at 60, etc. I had tried this before.

Now here’s the creepy part. The file is dated February 13, 2005, 10:11 pm.

We’re February 12, 2008, and I tried this at 9:39 pm.

I must have been just as bored almost exactly three years ago, tried it, and had been just as disappointed as I am now.

CREEPY.
