A tango spin on an upbeat, underrated track from Pokemon generation 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald). I never finish ORAS, but I'm sad to learn that the Abandoned Ship was replaced with some decrepit research station. I so loved the romanticism and intrigue of a lost cruise ship.

Story time: I was instantly obsessed with Pokemon Sapphire when it was released back in 2002. While I will always love Kanto and Johto, there was something magical about the Hoenn region. It felt alive and discoverable, and the changes in game system, gameplay, and musical style breathed fresh air into an already incredible series.

What was "too much water" for IGN was infinite possibility and exploration for 9 year-old me. I adored the reflective ponds and lakes; I frequently ran and biked through puddles just to hear the little splish. I also spent a lot of time surfing in Hoenn. There was just so much to do in those vast ocean routes: catching, fishing, diving (and discovering eerie underwater chambers), battling, getting carried away by currents...and the Abandoned Ship.

What I love so much about the Abandoned Ship location is that it's not creepy. It's more a monument to travel and the past than a ghost ship. There's trainers running around and giving the ship presence, and leftover items gleam in the corners of empty rooms. Parts of the ship are totally sunken, leading you to dive deep and hear those lovely tones. I kind of get the same feeling from this area as I do looking at vintage travel posters.

The orchestral theme from the anime plays up the romanticism and feeling of luxury. I adore that theme, and I've listened to it far too many times! And then one day in the shower (more water?!) it hit me – this piece works perfectly as a tango, rhythmically and thematically. I got to work, and here is the result. Enjoy!

Even without knowing the actual movies, none of those genres jumps out at you as extra scary? I think the ideas behind them can be truly terrifying...but some of them just seem unreal and/or silly.

Home invasion I suppose. But this is coming from the girl who thinks Clue (1989) is the best movie ever made, closely followed by Miss Congeniality and the Lego Movie soooo

[queerist]

Of the following horror tropes/subgenres, which do you find the scariest and which the most laughable? Zombies (slow, dumb undead or fast viral); genius serial killers (Silence of the Lambs); twisted billionaires/doctors (Hostel, Human Centipede); alien invasion (War of the Worlds); possession/"imposter effect" (Invasion of the Body Snatchers); evil village/savage cannibals (The Hills Have Eyes); home invasion (The Strangers, The Purge). **ALSO, have you played The Last of Us?

I don’t even know most of these movies >.<

Some of the scariest movies show no gore though. It’s all implied and psychological… those are at least masterpieces.

And yep! I’ve played The Last of Us…. and it was EXHAUSTING… That final boss battle where you are in the bar and have to kill that guy… fucking freaked me out man. 

PS THE LEVEL OF DETAIL IN THIS QUESTION IS PROFOUND AND APPRECIATED.

If you didn’t know, I make music sometimes! And lately I’ve been trying to get more serious about it - I’m working through a music theory textbook and training myself to better analyze music as I hear it.

Anyway give this song a listen! It’s the kind of track you’d hear in an adventure game. I was inspired a lot by Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Halo 2, and Motoi Sakuraba’s works (Golden Sun, Tales series, etc).

went out to dinner with my friend and a kid a few tables away loudly declared “i would go SKYDIVING for chocolate” and after a beat i said “same” at the same time my friend said “me” and that pretty much sums up our entire relationship

My Soundcloud account! I've got some video game music orchestral "covers", as well as my first original composition. If you like Golden Sun, Phoenix Wright, or me - please give my work a listen! :)

My orchestrated arrangement and re-imagining of Detective Gumshoe’s theme from Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright! Gosh I love the original track so much...so I made my own version :) The clarinet just makes sense for him for some reason! Made in GarageBand
