I was tagged by @strafethesesinners to share my Spotify Wrapped! Thank you :)

The thing is, I don’t use Spotify... So instead, thanks to the stats I managed to find in iTunes and Windows Media Player, what I remember listening to this year, and my Photoshop skills, I present to you my very own, entirely handcrafted and customized...

“Spoofity” Wrapped

(No really, I remade everything. The backgrounds, the logo, the URL... Everything)

More details and explanations under the cut because why not?

Songs

1 - Technically, I didn’t just listen to it, I watched this video. On repeat. In my defense, I was trying to learn the song and it wasn’t easy! Also, yeah, okay, I really like it.

2 - I didn’t listen to this one on my phone/computer in 2023, but since I’ve played Tears of the Kingdom for more than 235 hours and spent a lot of time either riding the dragons or watching them pass by, I must have heard this music many, many times!

3 - This song came out this year, and apparently, I’ve listened to it 6 times.

4 - This one is actually a video. It’s a cover of a 1979 song originally sung by Dalida that was (and still is) very popular in France. I don’t particularly follow Bilal Hassani or his career, but I stumbled upon this performance and thought it was really beautiful. I probably listened to it 4 or 5 times in a just few days. For context, because I think it matters, around that time, he was scheduled to perform in a deconsecrated basilica (that now holds concerts and other cultural events), but the show had to be canceled for security reasons because he, and by extension his fans, received threats from “far-right Catholic groups”. The lyrics say, “Let me dance and sing freely.”

5 - I listened to this 3 times this year because I wanted to cleanse myself of the sped-up version I was tired of hearing in almost every video on the Internet at the beginning of 2023.

Artists

1 - I’ve listened to her new album, Gag Order, a few times. “Happy” made me cry.

2 - She’s probably in my “Top 5” every year, honestly.

3 - I often listen to the FFXV soundtrack. It’s amazing!

4 - Aside from Tears of the Kingdom, I’ve also played HITMAN: Freelancer for many hours this year... which means I’ve heard the soundtrack a lot. It’s good too!

5 - Disney soundtracks in general are also in my “Top 5” every year, I think.

Podcasts

I realize the list makes it seem like I’m really into the supernatural, but really, I just follow Jesse Cox and Kesha :’)

301 vues (“301 views”) is a French podcast hosted by YouTuber Cyprien and described as “the show that talks about the Internet”. Each episode has different guests.

And YouTube isn’t a podcast, but it’s what I watch (or just listen to, depending on the video) most of the time, often in the background when I’m eating, working, or drawing :)

Gotta say I really love all of the work Niels Bye Nielsen did for the Freelancer soundtrack, but this ambient track is my favorite.

Club Hölle by Niels Bye Nielsen

[aluto-unchained]

also i get to download hitman 1 ost which is great because i love the themes for those levels someone pls tell me as well, what is with the hate for the WOA trilogy music

like i think jesper kyd's work ESPECIALLY from silent assassin onwards is supreme (his work in c47 is also amazing, i just remember how my jaw dropped when i saw that there were orchestral tracks in that game), but niels bye nielsen still produces tracks that really lean into the professional side of the games

its especially fitting with hitman 1's design philosophy and ui design

i guess jesper's work on the contracts ost kind of sticks with me more than stuff on WOA trilogy though.. i think a lot of the contracts ost was just fucked. like it's so fucking creepy and especially that one track that has the weird breathing in it ?? (it's the one that plays when you do illegal stuff, i think i remember specifically it plays when you put the laxative in fuchs' soup in the siberia level or wherever it is, the one where you start in the plane)

anyway contracts is just creepy idk what else to say. but i feel like WOA's music gets dogged on because it isnt the same as the games before it i guess???

i bought the deluxe version for world of assassination and i went on the IOI website to go check out the artbook i got and i am graced with this beautiful stunning button right here

I GET THE SOUNDTRACK?!??????? IM LOSING IT

AND I GET THE SOUNDTRACK FROM HITMAN 1 AND 2 AS WELL I GET TO LISTEN TO THE MENDOZA TANGO FOR AGES NOW

I was tagged by @glowwormsmith! Thank you :)

Rules: Spell out your URL using song titles that can describe your muse/OC/pairings, then tag as many people as there are letters in your URL!

My URL isn’t the best for this game because it simply consists of the same two letters twice (I didn’t take the numbers into account), but I still scoured my entire music library to find titles that worked! I chose my OC Taylor Rook, John Seed, and the couple they form in my heart because of course I did. There are four letters in my username so I’m tagging four people: @cassietrn, @laindtt, @simplegenius042, and @strafethesesinners (only if you feel like doing this, of course)!

(Not all the tracks I wanted have lyrics, so I did this a little differently than you did and wrote a little “story” instead):

In Hope County, Taylor really became a “Lurking Danger” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV] and had to walk along many “Unfamiliar Paths” [Cliff Martinez - Far Cry 4]. John kept telling her, “Let The Water Wash Away Your Sins” [Dan Romer - Far Cry 5], but she remained “Untouchable” [Niels Bye Nielsen - HITMAN 2]. As for the Baptist, deep down, he was just a “Lost Child” [Brian Tyler - Far Cry 3], but on the outside, the thing most people noticed and talked about was his “Unsettling Aura” [Yoko Shimomura - Final Fantasy XV]. I wish he had had time to “Learn To Let Go” [Kesha - Rainbow]*, but all he did in the game was try to be “Unstoppable” [Sia - This Is Acting]*. Their story didn’t end well, so in another world, one that only exists in my head, they decide to “Let It Go” [Demi Lovato - Frozen] and stop being “Under The Gun” [Motörhead - Kiss of Death] all the time because I just want them to sing “Love Me Forever” [Motörhead - 1916]* and “Underneath Your Clothes” [Shakira - Laundry Service]* to each other instead!

*actually for these the lyrics also work

Hitman получит издание «Игра года» с новой сюжетной кампанией и улучшения для Xbox One X"

New Post has been published on http://plus-hi-tech.ru/hitman-poluchit-izdanie-igra-goda-s-novoj-syuzhetnoj-kampaniej-i-uluchsheniya-dlya-xbox-one-x/

Hitman получит издание «Игра года» с новой сюжетной кампанией и улучшения для Xbox One X"

В начале месяца IO Interactive обещала сделать анонс, связанный с Hitman, но не касающийся второго сезона стелс-экшена (который, впрочем, не сбрасывали со счетов). Как выяснилось, речь шла об издании «Игра года». Hitman: Game of the Year Edition выйдет 7 ноября на PC, PlayStation 4 и Xbox One и привнесёт новую цепочку сюжетных заданий и некоторый другой контент. Кроме того, разработчики добавят массу исправлений и улучшений, в том числе поддержку уникальных особенностей Xbox One X.

Новая сюжетная кампания «Нулевой пациент» (Patient Zero) состоит из четырёх ми��сий, действие которых происходит в переделанных локациях из основной игры — Бангкоке, Сапиенце, Колорадо и Хоккайдо. В них Агент 47 должен предотвратить распространение опасного вируса. Обещаны новые геймплейные механики, испытания, способы маскировки, особенности ИИ, персонажи, диалоги, а также свежий саундтрек от композитора первого сезона Нилса Бая Нилсена (Niels Bye Nielsen).

Кроме того, издание добавит три новых вида оружия и связанных с ними костюма:

любимый поклонниками костюм клоуна Корки (Corky) из Hitman: Blood Money — единственный способ незаметно носить с собой его фирменное оружие, биту;

чёрный костюм, идеально подходящий для снайперских операций, и чёрная винтовка Sieger 300 Ghost с высокой точностью и дальнобойностью — уникальный вариант Sieger 300;

ковбойский костюм и магнум The Striker, наносящий повышенный урон на любой дистанции.

Каждый из этих костюмов придётся надеть, чтобы выполнить три новых контракта «Обострение» (Escalation). В каждом из них своя стартовая локация и три этапа, а в одном — семь целей, чего разработчики раньше не делали. Выполнив эти задания, пользователи получат возможность использовать соответствующее оружие на любых картах.

7 ноября начнутся продажи Xbox One X, и, как и многие другие, разработчики Hitman не оставят свою игру без улучшений для этой консоли. Экшен получит поддержку «родного» разрешения 4К и сможет работать при более высокой кадровой частоте (какой именно, не уточняется). Подробности будут опубликованы в официальном блоге позже.

Помимо этого, в ноябре снова стартуют испытания «Неуловимая цель» (Elusive Target). Те, кто не успел их выполнить, получат второй шанс, но стоит иметь в виду, что если игрок уже прошёл или провалил такие задания, изменить результат нельзя.

Часть улучшений не будет эксклюзивной для нового издания и выйдет в виде бесплатного патча. Разработчики переработают интерфейс, упростив навигацию и изменив визуальный стиль и цветовую схему. В режиме контрактов появятся новые возможности — Trending, позволяющая найти самые популярные задания, и десять условий (Conditions), которые можно включить в создаваемую миссию (например, требование использовать определённый выход или ограничения, связанные с маскировкой). Во всех миссиях улучшатся эффекты освещения: благодаря новой цветокоррекции, подправленным правилам применения технологии HDR и переделанным скайбоксам локации станут «живее, ярче и правдоподобнее». PC-версия получит поддержку технологии Tobii Eye Tracking.

Hitman: Game of the Year Edition будет распространяться по цене $60. Владельцы первого сезона смогут получить новый контент за $20.

Niels Bye Nielsen’s track “Fade 2 Infinity” is in the new Porsche 911 RSR commercial!

Introducing Niels

Solvang!-A Tourist trap??-Well, that is what everyone seems to be telling me when I mention I want to go to Solvang. The Danish town, which the great Danish Baker in Denmark I know, called Ole Brodersen told me about. Ole did tell me not to expect a lot, but it was a nice thing to see areal Danish town, near LA.

Introducing Niels Bye Nielsen.

Niels Bye Nielsen, In Santa Barbara for lunch, on the way to Solvang, October 2011.

A talented Danish music composer in LA, happens to be a friend of a friend and had heard my interview on P3 radio some years back in Denmark. Niels has lived in  LA for almost twenty years, as he got here with his guitar, following his music. Niels’ story is interesting. Born and raised in the North of Jutland, in Skagen, he passed high school/Gymnasium by pretending to leave for classes everyday, when in fact he would be practising his guitar on the train back and forth on the train. Eventually, his absence was written home about and he had to deal with telling the truth. After his 3rd year in High school. Niels decided to make his way to the US, where he would later become a successful composer and orchestrated for other musicians, ie. “Men in Black” to name just one. Niels is really talented. His music is very lively. I have attached one piece he did on Tabrez's request to create something for Tabre's birthday, based on the song: " Summertime". Listen to the song in the link I put up!. Niels's music is so lively, DO Check out his stuff on the following link:

http://www.byelye.com/byelye.html

I finally met Niels, after hearing his name mentioned to me by Nadim and Tabrez a few times. Niels wrote me and we met up for lovely sushi in the hood of Westwood!:) It was great to speak Danish again and be able to relate to the stories and be related to as we shared experiences in the country and within the industry. Since, Niels offered to accompany me to Santa Barbara and Solvang, without holding back the act that I would be utterly disappointed as it is really just a tourist-trap with not much to be seen. Before leaving, Niels mentioned how he remembered his very words the last time he was in Solvang: “ Never, shall I set my feet in this place again…”—Oh,, well, I still wanted to pay homage to my Danish roots’ cityJ

For the Solvang story…just read on...to follow...

I’ve got the Carpathian Mountains soundtrack on while I work and the grand sweeping string section at the end in A New Deal has me so emotional. It’s 47’s optimism for the future of working as an equal with Diana, contrasted with the sadness and dread in the music as he forces himself to accept what he did to her parents, and the sickly out of tune strings in a New Father. Niels Bye Nielsen is a fucking genius.

Thanks to @simplegenius042 again :)

Rules: Go onto your "On Repeat" Playlist & put down 6 random songs.

I still don’t use Spotify and don’t have an “On Repeat” playlist, so here are the first 6 songs I got when I shuffled my music instead:

“Cave” (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Original Soundtrack - Yasuaki Iwata)

“Lutece” (BioShock Infinite Original Soundtrack - Garry Schyman)

“The Last Resort” (HITMAN 2 Original Soundtrack - Niels Bye Nielsen)

“The Mystical Room” (Far Cry 3 - Brian Tyler)*

“Step Into the Garden” (Far Cry 5 (Original Game Soundtrack) - Dan Romer)

“Dennis Touches Up the Tatau” (Far Cry 3 - Brian Tyler)*

*custom name; not officially released.

i would love to know if the choir in the sgail/china/romania soundtrack actually sings something or it's just soulful gibberish. Is it latin? Anyone here knows latin?? losing it over this haaha

It’s not gibberish, Hitman games regularly use religious hymns, classical music, and opera throughout the series. Kyd’s music for Silent Assassin, Contracts, and Blood Money was performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra with the Hungarian Radio Choir, and also featured famous operatic choruses.

WoA continues that tradition, and Chongqing used a church choir, as the devs said they chose that to symbolize 47 letting go of the past and beginning to move forward towards finding peace.

If you really want to go digging, each game credits all licensed music and any additional music not composed by Niels Bye Nielsen:
