MOTHER DIRECT! THIS MONTH! The annual showcase of EarthBound-inspired art hits July 27 at 6PM ET and we're back in the mix debuting EarthBound Beginnings final main character with a live action trailer that's gonna rough you up. 💪🗡️😎 MARK YOUR CALENDARS.
I call this one my ultimate proof that Nena's 99 Luftballons should have been part of the MGSV soundtrack. Some notes under the read more:
It's a pretty popular German song that I've opted to translate rather than use the English version (which does exist) as I simply think it lacks the vibe the original has. My translation is admittedly a bit literal at points because I tried to keep as much as possible from the original and also German is my mother tongue so it is difficult for me to try compromise on the tone in favour of clarity lmao. I hope you all get the gist of it regardless.
I just thought a pop song about the possibility of a truly ridiculous misunderstanding turning into paranoia turning into all out war would be perfect for this game. It was also released in 1983 so its ~period accurate~
Sound Opinion: Rock Hall’s 2024 Nominees Barely Rock
Q: What do Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher and Kool & the Gang have in common?
A: They’re all musicians who do not play rock ’n’ roll music but who are nevertheless nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside the Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addition, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinéd O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Sade and a Tribe Called Quest.
Los Lobos? Nope.
Warren Zevon? Uh-uh.
Blood, Sweat & Tears? No, nope & nah.
If Sound Bites had a ballot, here’s how it would read:
* Mary J. Blige - No; not rock
* Mariah Carey - See above
* Cher - See above “see above”
* Dave Matthews Band - Yes; for being unique
* Eric B. & Rakim - No; file under Blige
* Foreigner - No; low quality and not innovative
* Peter Frampton - Yes; if only for what Frampton Comes Alive did for concert albums
* Jane’s Addiction - Yes
* Kool & the Gang - No; not to gang up, but see first entry
* Lenny Kravitz - No; a solid debut album is not enough
* Oasis - No; not original, but the public sniping is entertaining
* Sinéad O’Conner - Yes; another unique artist
* Ozzy Osbourne - No; he did his groundbreaking work with Black Sabbath, who are (deservedly) in
* Sade - No. Killer band; does not play rock music
* A Tribe Called Quest - No; see Blige, Carey, Cher, B & Rakim, Kool, Sade and ATCQ
If the Rock Hall changes its name to the Music Hall of Fame, then Blige and Sade are shoe-ins. But as long as it calls itself the Rock Hall, Sound Bites will continue to rage against the machine.
saw this post and even tho I'm not part of the Gang Marq I still wanted to do it cuz why not <3
maybe not in the gang itself but still somewhat in the lore u know? like those characters that don't appear much or when one of the characters goes "I know who to call" and I appear and give info into whatever shenanigans @/weird-dere-writes 's gang is in
she be the type of character that make their enemies make fun of them before she makes them the fool as they end up the floor a second later
tends to get pissy easily, pretty cocky and aggressive when it comes to fighting, will give those feral smirks when the fight getting good
why the glasses and the mask? idk thot it looked sick with the scar (if i ever draw this i might give new stuff or show more lore who knows)
