"MGS = BEST BOSSES"

submission: Delinquent Mantis

date: September 9, 2009

Psycho Mantis was indeed an incredibly good boss.

I don't think he's really the best boss. I can't think of any series quite like MGS that puts so much emphasis on the background of bosses and EVERY character, so I'll have to leave it at 'Definitely one of the best, if not the best.'

The music was a little bit annoying, with the repeated vocals from the game, but the music definitely suited the whole Psycho Mantis theme. That boss was so damn creepy.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one that was incredibly happy when Psycho Mantis appeared once Screaming Mantis was defeated in MGS4.

Speaking of Screaming Mantis, I think the Beauty and the Beast units were amazing. The way you were told of their backgrounds once they were beaten, it was just immense.

The MGS series does have some of the best bosses out there, no doubt about it.

Score: 10

"More please?"

submission: ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow

date: June 28, 2009

Brilliant. Bloody brilliant.

Definitely deserves the Best Ever Scoring spot, although a few 0-bombers sure as hell won't let that happen, because they're idiots.

Love it. Can't think of a way to criticise it that doesn't boil down to my own taste, so I'll give it a perfect 10.

I'll vote 5 on it every time I remember, you deserve it.

Score: 8

"Avalon."

submission: _-{A Warm Wind in Avalon}=-_

date: May 13, 2009

~Avalon~

That word by itself sounds beautiful, and I think you've done it justice.

I can't wrap my head around this to give constructive criticism, but I do know that it sounds exactly like the title claims. The song isn't perfect, but it is very good. Good work. If you had disgraced the word Avalon I might have punished you.

Score: 10

"Absolutely beautiful."

submission: Lighting A Candle

date: April 7, 2009

This piece makes me think of a scene like this:

You get a call from your friend's sister, she tells you to come over to your friend's house immediately. You make it over to the house and when you get in, your friend is lying on a bed, seemingly happy, but also in pain. When you go over, he notices you and his face lights up, but his eyes just tell of a greater pain. You ask him what the problem is, he replies "Nothing, I'm just kinda sick..". You tell him you don't believe him and he replies again (This is around 1:00 in the song, just after the thunder) "I'm dying. I don't know how or why, but I can feel I'm dying." Then, up until 1:30, you're trying to come to grips with this fact, your eyes starting to water. Your friend then utters his final words: "We had fun, bro, didn't we?" and draws his final breath. You feel intense pain at his passing, but you are happy that he died without showing you how in pain he was. You choke out a few words to his now-lifeless corpse: "Yeah bro, we had fun. Goodbye."

That's what that represents to me. Now, I'm on the verge of crying after writing that.

A beautiful piece. Just beautiful.

Score: 9

"Approaching perfection."

submission: Azarthian Girl {=MMD=}

date: April 7, 2009

I'll tell you now.

You're brilliant. You actually are brilliant. I'll agree with toucanman that it seemed to lack some emotion that you had in your other songs, but it still has a little something. The lyrics don't go smoothly at some parts, which is kinda annoying, but you still managed to work it all in brilliantly. The unstrumental is very good, and the line after it was powerful.

Great.

Score: 10

"Amazing."

submission: An Angel Falls

date: April 7, 2009

I found myself smiling at this. It was nice.

The music is really good. Your voice with the autotune reminded me too much of all of that annoying rave crap with the high-pitched and sped up voices, you probably could have done with turning it down a notch because your voice sounds fine in your other stuff.

It did sound really good, I'll give you that.

This evokes quite a bit of emotion. Maybe I'm just an emotional person, but it did definitely make me feel. I tend to like things if they invoke feelings in me.

Score: 9

"I salute you, son."

submission: MGS2 - Main Theme [Remake]

date: March 10, 2009

I love this theme so much, it sounds the exact same only with different instruments. I love the snare though, sounds great, keeps the military-style. I think I've noticed that beyond the snare, it seems to have taken away some of the high-tech sharpness that the original had. I'm only giving this a 9 because it doesn't sound as sharp as the original and the original was basically perfect.

Also, because it's too short.

Score: 10

"Wow."

submission: Evil-Dog - Punk in Metropolis

date: March 7, 2009

I know why he said 'King'.

Because it's hard to imagine the brute awesome of Paragon could belong to a female, but it does.

Kinda like 'King Arthur' being Saber in Fate/Stay Night.

Saber is the class name for 'King Arthur', who is really a young immortal woman (She WAS King Arthur, but she was female, she did rule England for ages and did wield Excalibur).

She was so fuckwin people thought she was male.

Yes, I'm comparing the awesomeness of Saber to Paragon.

Paragon isn't as awesome, but what can you expect of a human with no immortality or ability to control magical energy?

Now, onto this cover:

I salute you, Evil-Dog. Brilliant. 10 + 5.

Score: 10

"Yes."

submission: ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact

date: March 6, 2009

You best be doing shit like this professionally.

If you're not, it's a massive waste of talent.

Or not, considering we're getting the benefit.

Just.... fuck.

No other words could describe the awesome better than that.

Just fuck.

Score: 0

"It sucks."

submission: Edge of Faith REMIX

date: December 20, 2008

I'm sorry to tell you this, but it is absolutely terrible.

It sounds like you just played with Audacity or something and got this lump of fail.

Just leave.
