10 Songs You've Heard and Don't Know the Name

MilkmanDan says...

A few of those didn't actually ring a bell in terms of having heard them before, and I knew the names of a few that I had heard:

(spoilers, I guess?)
1. I instantly knew that was the William Tell Overture, I would think a lot of people know that one?

2. Know the song, but didn't know the title without seeing it. But I'm sure that I've heard the title (Entry of the Gladiators) before.

3. Didn't know the song (or the title -- Liechtensteiner Polka).

4. Know the song, knew it was Strauss, didn't know it was "Fruhlingsstimmen". Gesundheit. As an aside, the stare plus the eyebrow action in this one is hilariously well-suited to the song.

5. Knew a variant of the song, didn't know it was "The British Grenadiers". Pretty sure I first heard this one as music in the old-school NES game "Pirates" by Sid Meier.

6. Knew the song, knew it was Chopin's "Piano Sonata No. 2 Op. 35", also know that it is commonly referred to as "Marche Funebre" (although that title can be applied to other songs also). Dude also gets a lot of mileage out of the creepy stare at the camera on this one.

7. Don't think I've ever heard this one, didn't know the title (A Dog's Life).

8. Knew the song, knew it was by Strauss, didn't know the title (An Der Scthonen Blauen Donau).

9. Knew the song, knew it was the "Chicken Dance". I'd think that anyone that's ever been to a wedding pretty much has to know this one -- but maybe that's just a midwest US thing?

10. Eventually recognized the song, but not until he got a bit into it. Didn't know the title (Colonel Bogey March). Still think it should 'properly' be titled "Lisa, her teeth are big and green. Lisa, she smells like gasoline."

World of Warcraft - Cataclysm Cinematic Intro

shagen454 says...

Since WoW has come out - videogame wise I've played a bunch of WoW. Some games would take me away for a while. I'm trying to remember which ones... Mass Effect 2, Fallout 3... lot's of indie ones - like Osmosis, Braid, World of Goo, Torchlight (which almost felt like a damn blizzard game) definitely Minecraft in a big way and recently Amnesia. And besides these innovative titles I've definitely played more of and been satisfied with WoW more than any other game since Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Which before WoW held the most hours played for me. Played that game every week for years - it's still amazing and I still think it's Firaxis' best.

Even more recently I've been having fun playing games I played when I was a little kid like Ultima IV, V, The Magic Candle, Syndicate, Sierra adventure games... developers obviously need to go back to the basics and innovate from there.

Sid Meier's Civilization V - Video Walkthrough Trailer

xxovercastxx says...

Yes, FreeOrion. I've been following it since it was nothing but a discussion in a forum thread. Unfortunately it's progressing extremely slowly (5 years in development so far and probably another 3-5 to go) and I'm not even positive I'll like it when it's done.

What I'd really like is a new, good MOO clone/sequel. I still play MOO2 almost every day and it's 14 years old now.
isn't there some opensource mod/clone of moo2 that is still being developed?

Anyone else think the UI should be considerably smaller and more subtle?


If they did the same thing with this video as with the live stream last week, the UI seen here is actually fullscreen-sized even though the game is running windowed. This is to make the UI clearly visible on low resolution videos.

I'll give it a try when it is released, but if my mechanized infantry can be wiped out by an enemy charioteer I swear I'll never play a Sid Meier game ever again.
