    It's for sale on SoulEye's site I think. A few of the tunes can be heard on the YouTubes too.

    Yeah, like these:

    1

    2

    There are two options for purchasing the entire soundtrack. One is $4, or you can opt to give him $10 if you're awesome like me. It's worth $10 to me for being one of the few worthwhile chiptune albums that is actually melodic instead of relying on the gimmick.

    Hahaha

    The game's soundtrack, PPPPPP, has amazing cover art

    EDIT:

    I'm listening to the OST now, and holy shit, it holds up really well even outside the game

    Pretty epic chiptune stuff

    I concur. I absolutely love this game and the sound track in particular. I've had the music on my mp3 player and listened to it many many times on the bus on the way to work and home.

    The first thing I thought when I saw your new VVVVVV let's play was, "yay, this ought to be good to listen to" :) Great stuff, and kind of glad to see you're having trouble on basically the same parts I had trouble on :)

    Yessssss. Jump cuts are great, I'm glad they are in.

    I remember watching IWBTG LP (one of the first few I watched) but I don't really remember much about it.

    This is really great so far though. I am thoroughly enjoying it.


    Exactly what constitutes as slashfic anyways? I'm scared to google it.

    Slashfic is fanfiction(wikipedia it if you don't grasp it) in which two characters of the same sex who do not canonically have a relationship are paired together. The name is born of old Star Trek mailing lists and fanzines, where early fanfiction really got going. A story in which Spock and Kirk(and it was damn near always Spock and Kirk) were mere comrades and close friends, as well as the focus of the story, was typically labeled Spock&Kirk, whereas a story in which they started to make out was instead labeled Spock/Kirk. Thus, fiction along these lines got the name "Slash fiction", or slashfic, for short.

    Ok, I wasn't 100% sure if that's exactly what slashfic was. Like, I sort of knew, but I didn't know the specifics. Does slashfic have to be same sex? Is that the point?

    It tends to be homosexual, yes.

    I think hetero is just assumed in erotic fanfiction.

    !entry Violet emoted slightly as the Captain's squares pushed into hers. But as the animation continued and the text square began to form, the alarms sounded; the ship was about to crash. As the rectangles around them shifted in polarity and colour, she felt scared and empty; indeed, looking to the Captain's face for comfort, she found he had been teleported away. Coitus interruptus at its finest.








    My fingers are bloody stumps now.

    Short but sweet. The rest of you can learn from Bethryn's fine example of leadership here. More slashfic!

    Keep in mind one character can be from a completely different fiction.

    !Entry

    Professor Vitellary hobbled awkwardly out of his homely research room, his eyes blocky after a long session of reading and theorizing. The day had been long and he longed for the embrace of another, along with rest and leisure fun.

    As his yellow visage entered his own quarters, he was unsurprised to see a figure already there. Wearing goggles and a hard hat, the man stood there looking at blue-prints while drinking coffee.

    "Eve'n Doc. Rough day?" the man said with a smile as he handed Vitellary a cup of coffee.

    "One could say that," Vitellary's staggered and computer sounding voice answered. "But please, Engineer, call me Professor, or at least Vite."

    "And I keep tellin' ya, Engineer is just mah title. Call me Dell." Dell lifted up his goggles and took off his hard hat and gestured for Vitellary to sit down.

    "Yes, I see then," Vite's unchormatic voice awkwardly worded, "Well then Dell, I thought that since tonight was Friday, we could have a bit of fun."

    "Well, the invite is quite nice of y'all, but Imma still wrap'd up in this here invention. Needs to be done right soon."

    "I see. But first, I'd ask you to take care of this before you begin again." As Vite spoke, a large blocky object protruded about two screen pixels wide.

    "Vite, can I ask ya to keep that in your pants for now?"

    "But Dell, with my sprite limitations, I have no pants." Vite's large hole-eyes stared openly at Dell.

    Dell only sighed. "Well partner, ya got me there."




    Oh god I can't write anymore of this. I need to go drink about eight quarts of brain bleach.

    LOOK WHAT THIS HAS DONE JOSHOFALLTRADES.

    The Captain paused as the words flew by overhead. Truth, Truth, Truth, Truth. Each word a solid, invincible shape. This seemed philosophically correct to the Captain, and the decision was an easy one to make. He reversed the polarity and positioned himself just so. When the flying word slammed into him it tore through his body with lethal ecstasy. In one end and out the other, a spear of pure teleology. The violent joy of it was too much, everything went black. The Captain awoke a few seconds later at the strange C. Having been thusly violated by the truth he felt like a new man. He moved into position again and waited for Truth to fill him again. The captain had finally found beauty in this bizarre dimension.

    I make my entry in the form of a screenplay.
    The scene is a spaceship corridor. Pixelly lights and gadgets abound. Chief Verdigris is working at an access hatch.

    Enter Captain Viridian stage left, crossing the stage he walks past Chief Verdigris at work.

    Chief Verdigris (aside): Damn that's a fine ass.

    Captain Viridian: Hmm? You say something Chief?

    Chief Verdigris (looking awkward): Er, nothing chief.

    Must be the new method. It came out to a little over half a gig, but I guess I compromised too much. Next time it will take longer to go up, I guess, since I'll just leave it uncompressed.

    nice set, I love watching you play these sorts of games because I just can never beat them.

    also just a little thing, but you had your mouse pointer on the screen for most of the recording, not very noticeable but thought i'd mention it.
