Gameboy Genius

Shuffle game

July 12th, 2007

I was invited by Optimus to play this little net game. You open a load of song you like in a music player of your choice, and play with shuffle on.
Then you answer how well each song fits each question, one at a time.
My problem is that I don’t use playlists, so I don’t have a playlist with favourites. I almost always handpick songs or albums. And I decided doing so would take away much of the randomness that makes this game fun.
So my last resort was to drop local HD music collection into the playlist. (14.4 GB, 3820 files, I’ve got plenty more in other dirs and on other drives)
I randomized the playlist a couple of times, set shuffle on, and clicked next…

If someone says “is this ok” then you say:

047 - Falsäljing - Jolly happy like only 047 can. Sure it is ok!

What would best describe your personality?

Gijs Gieskes - huiu_alla_hakkuh - A very chaotic chiptune. Is that me? Chaos and chip music? Makes sense…

What do you look in a guy/girl?

Tobias Bernstrup feat. Mai Ueda - Pirates Of The Internet - Actually, I don’t think I could be together with a girl who’s not a pirate.

How do you feel today?

Mortimer Twang - Fellow Mellow - A happy chippie mod by Mortima T. Fits my mood surpringly well.

What is your life’s purpose?

The dark knight (TDK) - Russian Theme - Another chipmod… (I have too many :p ) I don’t if it’s right… It changes mood over time, maybe that’s right?

What is your life motto?

Clipz - Forever Feat. Tali - A dnb tune about eternal love, (I think) which I don’t believe in. Or maybe the vocals were just shallowly placed there for no real reason. Although a great tune, I don’t think it reflects my motto.

What do your friends think of you?

Paza - Arabläkaren (Translation: The Arab Doctor) - More chip music, with weird arabic chants in top! Making stange noises, coming from another planet?

What do you think of your parents?

Jamiroquai - Main vein

What are you going to do to make me hate me
I can’t see how you can this time
A fistful of lies and a verbal decimation
It’s so sad but baby keep on trying
I got no chains or fancy aspirations
But I’ve still got a losing streak
I don’t need praise or instant admiration No no no
It takes more than you to make me weak

A funky house tune. Although the lyrics are written in a totally different context, they’re at least partially correct.

What is 2+2

Random - Give Me Your Day (Psilodump Remix Beta 1) - Makes no sense. I was actually hoping for Bud Melvin’s 1+1 = 1+1 here.

What do you think of your best friend?

Mortimer T - Chip jungle - More chippy music. Who could’ve guessed? My best friend is into both chip and jungle music, but I don’t think he’d like this one. I was hoping for something with more of a message.

What do you think of the person you like?

Astral Projection - Sativa (Deep atmosphere sfx remix) - An AP tune about sitting in the studio smoking weed, or something like that. Hmmm, no nothing like her. (Or me for that matter)

What is your life’s story

Trance Control - In Trance we Trust - A part of my musical story longing for about 3 years, otherwise pretty inaccurate.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Aphex Twin - Avril 14th - No relationship. \:

What do you think when you see the person you like?

Ikuma Morata - Fami 2 Step - No \:

What will they play at your funeral?

Psilodump - Senki Otus Part 1 - Probably not \: Perhaps a piece of classical style musical based on the main lead…

What is your hobby/interest?

Herbert Weixelbaum - Tanzmusik - A Gameboy tune, other than that not giving too many hints.

What is your biggest fear?

Psilodump - rescue.mp3 - Seems to be about drowning (Perhaps from a mental point of view)

What is your biggest secret?

Jega - Syntax Tree - Neh…

What do you think of your friends?

Benny B - Dont Touch Too Much (Sfaction mix) - About my need for intimacy and being alone?

This didn’t really work out as expected, so I’ll just start over from the question where it started to go havoc. I’ll randomize the playlist two more times and press next…

What is 2+2

Psilodump - Pocket Calculator - There we go!

What do you think of your best friend?

Acidwolf - MMM - Nah

What do you think of the person you like?

Heavens Cry - Til’ Tears Do Us Part [Flash Harry Mix] - Why not?

What is your life’s story

Norah Jones - Don’t Know Why

Don’t Know Why
I waited till I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine

Hmm…

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Dave Koz - Together Again - Nope…

What do you think when you see the person you like?

Psilodump - The Somnambulist (Din Stalker Remix) - She’s a somnambulist and I’m her stalker.

What will they play at your funeral?

Astral Projection - Black & White - Nope.

What is your hobby/interest?

Goblin Sound - Tetris (NES version) - Yay!

What is your biggest fear?

Nintendo - Donkey Kong (NES version) - Hahaha! No!

What is your biggest secret?

seVeneleVen - Rings Of Medusa - The Last Crusade ReMIX - Yes!

What do you think of your friends?

Ninteno - Cluclu Land - What’s up with winamp’s shuffle function?? So many nsf’s in such a short time?

So who to invite? I don’t know how many people actually read my blog, less how many people would like to participate in a game like this.
But anyway, here are my invitations: Vickei, omniuwo, pepino, Andrew Nesbitt, Elmindreda.
