Channel Awesome Works

One of my favorite shows at TGWTG for a long while was watching Benzaie (Benjamin Daniel) being silly/random in his various costumes and making odd jokes about games.  

This show is more commonly known as "Games You Might Don't Know, But Are Still Pretty Damn Sweet," and after TheSadPanda (Julien Diaz) made a version of the theme song, I decided to make a cover of it myself, resulting in this!

Enjoy, and hopefully one of these days I'll make it into an even longer song.

Games You Might Don't Know (8-Bit Version)

"Atop the Fourth Wall" is a very popular show on That Guy With The Glasses, and its host, Linkara (Lewis Lovhaug) is a great guy to chat with as well!  This was actually the first arrangement I made for TGWTG way back a few years ago, shortly after his theme song contest ended, and he picked Vincent E.L.'s version of his theme.

Enjoy!

Linkara the 8-Bit Gunslinger

This is an arrangement/remix of Glenn Case's theme for the show 'Still Gaming,' by Lee Davidge I made a few years back.  It was something I really wanted to finish when it came to be that Lee and Dena weren't going to be able to make it to MAGFest in 2010, so this was essentially finished right around New Years.

It's probably the longest chiptune/8-bit track I've done so far, regardless, so enjoy it. Please comment and share. :)

Lee is Still 8-Bit

Justin Carmical (also known as JewWario) has his main claim to fame on TGWTG with his show "You Can Play This!"  On his show, he goes over various Japanese video games that are possible to play, without needing a deep knowledge of Japanese to understand.  His theme song of choice has been the 1989 hit by Kome Kome Club, "Funk Fujiyama."

Given how so many games that he featured were for the Japanese NES (known as the Famicom), I decided it was only appropriate to make a 'Famicom' version of the theme...and what else to call it but "Funk Famiyama!"

Yes, I'm a sucker for lame puns.

The original Funk Fujiyama is (c) 1989 to Kome Kome Club.  Enjoy this track!

Funk Famiyama (8-Bit YCPT Theme)

This was a track that was requested by Linkara for a collab review with Noah Antwiler (The Spoony One), and is one of many MST3K references that I was completely lost on before I started working on tracks for the folks at TGWTG.

I have no idea who the original composer for this music is, and it's not my best recreation of a song...but I'm sure a number of you will get a chuckle from this.

Enjoy!
