Man, if we had image sigs... this would be win.

Well, finally made myself a sig. Only people that know me really well would understand it, but I don't really care.

Yeah, I saw a, shall we say, music video for an "interpretation" of Brawl's lyrics a bit back. Same basic thing.

Of course, the fact that the theme for that game is a triumphant Latin opera is awesome to the max.

I prefer Melee's theme.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #1190 on:** August 17, 2008, 08:03:37 PM »

Oh, Melee's is great as well. It's just that epic, indecipherable chanting adds a certain element of cool.

It's pretty much infinitely less cool when you have read classical Latin and realize how weak and repetitious* the lyrics are. Also, even if Nobuo Uematsu wrote the Brawl theme, it isn't as good as the Melee main theme.

*I can't say that this is a bad thing, because most music that sets Latin texts is fairly repetitious. But the skill used in setting the text is rather important.

epic, indecipherable chanting

Isn't that pretty much all the rage/standard in every video game now?

I'm sure there was also ominous chanting in Chrono Trigger, but it wasn't in Latin or even comprehensible.

On the subject of chanting:

Suffix, what are you talking about?

I hope this doesn't answer your question, but just in case...

My newest: Well, I've been reading The Ultimate History of Videogames (please do so yourself), and this was a line (also isolated at the beginning of a chapter for maximum effect) from a section referring to how clueless much of the media was about Nintendo when they first came onto the scene. This quote in question is from two newsguys bluffing their way through a description of "Nine-tendo's" new system... featuring R.O.B.

I'll give you a hint on mine. See if you can figure out the quote and who said it. "greenlike"
