Some of your best work Nathan. I usually love the distortions in the talking classics videos, but the footage of this looked great and the audio sounded crisper.
Keep up the good work.

Re: Keith Apicary at the VGA's
Yeah its kinda nice to see the footage clearly. I didnt wanna mess with this footage since it was a real Talking Classics episode. Dont worry all the others will be back to looking like garbage.

I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't find this guy's character(s) funny.

Re: Keith Apicary at the VGA's
I think this is a big loss. Some of the best soundtracks to games are context sensitive, and these big hollywood scores just dont do it properly. I'm thinking of Chibi Robo, where every you item you use, every step you take on every surface, every thing that happens place a context senstive musical note, chord or riff so that the whole game ends up being its own continuously generated soundtrack, or De Blob, where as you pass challenges and paint the city, the downbeat basic bass riff you started with becomes a giant big band funktastic blast, only for it to break away completely if you get hit by an enemy. Its really great when games do stuff like that. The art style games are good for it too, and apparently N64 mystical ninjas dungeon tunes build up the further in you get too. Thats just cool.Jrecee wrote:I think a lot of people writing music for games today probably went to music school and weren't into gaming. It's only been in the last 10 years that gaming music and movie music has sort of converged into one thing. Before that it had to be designed specifically for the system's technology.
The hollywood scores are epic and all, but they just tend to continue on as usual no matter what happens. It's surreal dying when an epic victory theme plays.

And that's a fine opinion to have since you're being respectful. Most of us just respectfully disagree with you.indecks wrote:I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't find this guy's character(s) funny.

Re: Keith Apicary at Spike VGA Awards
i didn't for the longest time, then somewhere along the line it just clicked. a lot of it just seemed really forced when he first started posting videos and stuff here, but after a while i think he was able to develop the characters more and get more comfortable with presenting them in a believable but still completely over-the-top fashion.indecks wrote:I know I'm in the minority, but I just don't find this guy's character(s) funny.
so yeah, he won me over. it was the trale lewous bits and this video that really got me.

Anyone can put on weird clothes and act like a retard but he does it so flawlessly and he makes it seem believable while still being ridiculous and hilarious.
I thought that was pretty funny the way he calls people out and has real conversations while still maintaining character. Also falling on your face has got to hurt a lot so props on doing your own stuns haha.

Hell, Keith is honestly an almost 1:1 mirrored outline of me in my daily life (sans pratfalls of course), with all the game talk, game related questions, awkward situations and more.
