Video game music is the basis for my existence. I don't actually have any soundtracks, per se, but I have a lot of video game music on my computer. Everything from self-recorded MP3s, to MIDI versions myself or others have created or derived, to sheet music I've made myself. Half of my piano repertoire is video game-related.
If video game music is gay in any way whatsoever, then I'm the modern Paul Lynde.

The sheet music you did for Bubble Bobble was awesome.
The Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is great too. I want the second, but on Amazon its for something like 65 dollars or something. I dont love it that fucking much.

Your music doesn't affect your sexuality, just your geek-o-meter. Unless you listen to Nickelback, then you're totally gay.

I got a ton of video game songs on my iPod. I'll definitely admit to being a bit dorky for doing so, but seriously, some of it is better than the rubbish I hear on the radio these days, in my opinion.
Some of it is good, and some of it isn't, but I guess it comes down to your tastes. I played a ton of TimeSplitters soundtrack songs on my speakers and my friends enjoyed them, even after they learned it was from some vidjamagame.

I love old-school video game music and some newer stuff (like the TimeSplitters soundtracks) as well as cover bands and remixes. Frank Klepacki is probably one of my all-time favorite "artists" in any form of music.

If your hobbies include dick sniffing and the pearl toss, then you might be a little gay.
Nickleback is pretty bad, but if you want gay, then listen to "Go West" by the Pet Shop Boys... and most of their other stuff. I don't mind "Westside Girls" once in a blue moon though.

Of course not. Akira Yamoka's work for the Silent Hill series is absolutely mind-blowing, and should be heard by any gaming aficionado. The Music for Team Fortress 2 is pretty fantastic, too

I thought Introspective was a good album. Other than that, though...

Having video game soundtracks is so gay I downloaded the Bionic Commando soundtrack along with the remixed Bionic Commando Rearmed soundtrack. Having soundtracks is so gay it almost makes me want to explod.
i have the soundtrack to barkley shut up and jam gaiden. the remix of the space jam is awesome.

Perhaps it's just Bionic Commando? I never really got into the game, or the remake either

It's gay only if the game is gay itself, like having some Barbie shit game soundtrack. But I think the sole fact of having the soundtrack of a game is not gay.
I love the Castlevania SOTN soundtrack.
Go fuck a goat !!!

I actually downloaded the game today. Haven't started it yet, but if it's as unique as Earthbound, I'll definitely enjoy it.
And that Space Jam remix is definitely catchy. Thanks!

I honestly didn't know this was a full game. I remember seeing the trailer a long time ago and thought it was just a goof trailer or it never was finished. I need this too.

FNJ, this game is awesome on so many levels. I turned it on today and expected to play for like, twenty minutes, and ended up playing for four fucking hours. Thank God I don't have school tomorrow.
