The Completionist Presents - Top Ten Songs From Video Games Episode 1

[PhxDansuke]

So... you chose as number 1 the song that completely changed my enthusiasm in gaming, the first "EPIC" feeling I felt when I finally was facing the final boss has an 8 year old; and when I completely started to love rock music for some reason, in a game that starred my childhood hero and the protagonist of the first game I played back at my cousin's Genesis when I was 4...

...thank you.

[SunglassStu]

YES!! My absolututely favorite song from a video game is Number 1! So much nostalgia goes through my brain when I hear Live and Learn. Which reminds me, have you done an episode for Sonic Adventure 2 yet? Like getting all A rank for every mission? That seems like a challenge.

[25aron25]

BUT BEARDMAN!

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SHIRT?

EVERYONE ELSE HAS A SHIRT?

I WANT A SHIRT THAT SAYS BEARS ON IT!

.... but sireously, there are so many great quotes that it'd be a shame if you don't make any t-shirts

[ChuckZ85]

Nice list, Jirard. I'd like to see a Top 10 hidden/lost gems of gaming, just to see what you think of when it comes to lesser known, but great titles.

[8bitbutteredtoast]

UR AWESUM

[Link2016]

no, no, no, no, no no noooo! mini-mog theme should be first! :z

[Link2016]

PRE SCHOOL FIRE!

[PSNmooglestar]

I thought I was the only one who loved wild arms :o

[PSNmooglestar]

That music that you play in the *number 10-1* slides. What is it? :o

[DubTHC]

no jet set radio? dude PLAY JET SET RADIO , you shall not be disapointed

[ASAMMAYah]

I had wild arms... thought I was alone!

[Oneydjak]

Hey Beardman, did you play handheld's as a kid? Could we get a top ten for handheld games? Would make my week!

[mrzatchbell132]

did they do a remix of bubble bubble

[WolvesAsParents]

OH YES. dude you've officially earned my subscription. flawless number 1. I bought the OST for SA2B just for that song, that and metal harbor. keep up the good work! lovin the reviews too

[westleyisgod]

lolz i need a twix

[Wtsnackumz]

Though I have to say your list is rather a great personal placard of great video game music, I have to wonder did Sephiroths' theme out rank Diddy Kong, and Wild Arms due to having more people being pleased at its rank...I mean a song for your last review and you wake up to every morning just seem more substantial than something that is iconic of a single character.

[luigi4728]

@01:09 are you stalking me?!

[Toyman1982]

Gannon is the greatest video game viillian ever. not Fagiroth

[MajorasWorld64]

SA2 needs to be reviewed.

It has a completionist bonus too - Green Hill Zone!

[tripledssnuts]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOUR NUMBER ONE!!! 

[W3551D3]

Most of those songs are annoying, but nice top 5

[Terra89]

I like Kefka and Kuja FF villain wise myself. Love all the songs you picked and love your number one!

One of my favorite songs from video games would probably be T206G's ending theme song from Saga Frontier.

[XCobraCommandrX]

BEARDMAN! TOP 10 GREG QUOTES!

[sonicsonic123451]

[1xCloudStrifex1]

No Zelda or Megaman music on this list. I am disappoint :(

[MLGM9491]

BEARDMAN, two questions,

what's the song in you intro?

what's the song in the sequence where you are counting down numbers? (if you get me)

i enjoy your vids, keep up the work

[alonmania]

do a top 10 with bears!!!

[thelunngames]

YAY WILD ARMS :D

[HibiroZ]

I agree with you. Live and Learn is my theme too. I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it, and just listening to it gives me the drive to do things.

[Doru1199]

my chance to get on the top of the comments... I LIKE PENUT BEARS!!!!

[Djmc2222]

One Winged angel gives me chills everytime

[TheGameSlayerist]

I can't stop listening to "live and learn"!!! It's AWESOME!!!

[Brunobi02]

Good list. I juts have to say that the lack of any Streets of Rage or Castlevania music is a letdown.

[keniakittykat]

your number one made my day! Aw yeah if I don't listen to that song on my busrides to and from school, I had a bad day... Sonic rocks!!

(Aslo that sonic heroes song 'what I'm made of' is also awesome!)

bubble bobble? Classic!

Wild arms? CRIMINALLY underrated! that's right...

[viper00715]

beardman! wheres the other new episode thats suppose to come on here? just wondering (:

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@viper00715

It's uploading AS WE SPEAK!

[KaizerSozak2008]

Really loving your vids, keep em coming. Maybe do top tens on best console games looking forward to them.

[JynxBlack13]

Ohhhh man I just thought of this, you should do a play thought of Chrono Cross, that is an amazing challenge to complete! Love to see your take on it, plus the music is incredible!!

[JynxBlack13]

Unique picks sir ^_^, subbed BTW!!!

[Wizzking27]

No love for the SMB soundtrack? D:

[ficha13]

Just watched your review on screw attack, excellent as always, and the end reminded me of a classic that you should definitely review(please?), Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Sega genesis! :D

[JLMBfreafin]

Top ten best boss themes

[nikkolakis]

Top 10 video game moments? Thumps up if you like!

[SilkeAndDivided]

JACK BLACK OF GAMING!

[bentep0511]

I can't seem to find episode 14 :(

[Yessoan]

LIVE AND LEARN FTW!!!!

[ronnipekken]

HEY BEARDMAN ! I have a challange you can't complete... catch 'em all in Pokemon White/Black.... (Trollface)

[higihugo]

@ronnipekken thats impossible ;)

you cannot get jirachi and celebi outside of japan D:

[ronnipekken]

@higihugo No Not Impossible... But VEEEEEERY Difficult ! ;)

[higihugo]

@ronnipekken how will you catch em then?

[ronnipekken]

@higihugo Go to japan ? :)

[GaMeR1019]

funny how it really was went to buy skyrim then the mario theme started in my head hhaah

[xLuminary]

New content, plz!!! :(

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@xLuminary

You know there's a new episode of The Completionist at Screw Attack.com right now? It's on the front page!

[xLuminary]

@ThatOneVideoGamer I just watched it!! *Greg voice* ITS FREAKIN AWESOME!

[CrushAdrenaline]

Honestly, I think I agreed with maybe 3 of the songs you put in the list. The rest of them were short, uninspired looping tracks. Just my opinion though. I was pleasantly surprised when you added Wild Arms :)

Other top 10 lists I wouldn't mind seeing would be top 10 best video game endings. It's always hard to find an amazing game without a disappointing ending.

[TheJokerJulian]

No 1. Surprised me in a good way, critics tend to ignore that the Sonic Adventure games happened so they sound consistent when they bash 3D Sonic games. Good stuff Jirard

[Vyse80]

Bears!! It never gets old

[Hacker3588]

I love this video... until the end. I just wasn't as big of a fan of Sonic, but really great to see someone else's perspective! Personally would have picked something like Super Smash Bros Brawl vs screen theme. Would be cool to see a top 10 side kick/secondary character list, as well as a top 10 RPG games list. Keep up the good work.

[deathman1021]

Still a great list, though i have to wonder why so many of these leave out mystic cave zone from sonic 2, i love that one, and personally from sonic adventure 2 battle id call my favourite song from that is the eggman song.

Still though a fair list, good stuff Beardman

[ChileanBoy93]

YES! I agree with your top pick 100%! SA2B was my favorite game of all time growing up and I have many fond memories of it and that song.

[GeoffZak2]

You should review Crystalis for the NES.

I don't think too many people have heard of it, but it's a great RPG. It plays kinda like Zelda.

[deathman1021]

@GeoffZak2 its also on the gameboy colour, not sure if its a direct port but it was a lot of fun on there as well

[RawrMisohot]

I absolutely LOVE FF7. I thank you for putting One Winged Angel in there, especially. P.S. I have One Winged Angle on meh iPod. :B

[SAUSKE691]

no zelda what

[CamsEyeView]

aw i like UMvC3...just when its 20 dollars lol

[daveKoRnfan]

There is ONE thing that was good about Sonic 2006 and that was the music. My favourite tune was the results guitar ballad I remember sitting for hours listening to it in the options menu, that was one of the fue times I would go out of my way to listen to music in a game

[finalmetal2]

what is with the binary code at the begging.

[ARGUSx01]

my personal top 10:

#1:Rising high from Ace Combat 2 #2:Mr Adam and Panther from Armored Core 4 #3:Rock club from Scott pilgrim the game #4:Epilogue and Zero from Ace combat zero #5:Metal fighter from Metal wolf chaos #6:Vanilla dome and overworld from Super mario world #7:Mute city and big blue from f-zeroX #8:Together we ride from S.B.B Melee #9:Riding high and first flight from Ace combat 5 #10:What to believe from gran turismo 4 Reply with your faves.

[ARGUSx01]

@ARGUSx01 The battle theme from pokemon would be a close #11 LOL!

[LeonusStawalker]

I personally perfer Never Turn Back to Live and Learn, but hell, there are like 2 songs that Crush 40 did that aren't GOD AMAZING!!! And those 2 have amazing versions by others.

[nintendomaster]

This is easily one of my favorite YouTube shows ever. I'm glad I subbed for this. Keep up the good work, my hairy friend.

[CoronaMobius]

How about top ten giant robots in games?

[cyberdx]

Personnaly I prefer "What I'm made of" from Crush 40 to Live & learn but hey, different folks, different strokes.

[ArtemusWolfwood]

And now we get to hear number 8 again and again in Progressive commercials.

I mean seriously what.

[superburnout280]

i got close to the final one i was hoping crush 40 open your heart

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@superburnout280

SUPER CLOSE IN ME CHOOSING THAT TOO!

[firstgoomba]

@ThatOneVideoGamer why does this say episode 1

[TheTandfshow]

SHINING FORCE PLEASE COVER IT

[Itwasntthatguy]

THIS IS A NEGATIVE COMMENT!!

[thecrooksareinoffice]

pretty awesome list.

[mynamemightbemike]

DRAGONRIDDDDAAAAA! make another top tens

[Metalmorphic2Samurai]

I don't think I have seen a top 10 game glitchs(for better or worst). ummm submitting pic of beard for skyrim, seems weird......ok then......wait WHAT UNTIL NOVEMBER aww. whatever but yeah great choices man, personally I like better Gang-Plank Galleon but that one is good too.

[AustonsGaming]

I noticed the "Yes!" at the beginning is different from others. Do you do each intro separately?

[ZelddaLinkFreak]

is the beard contests still going on or no?

[ZelddaLinkFreak]

Jirard please respond... are you a brony?

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@ZelddaLinkFreak

I am not! But I support those who are bronys!

[insanegamer8]

@ThatOneVideoGamer BROHOOF!

[DharmaDaniel]

@ThatOneVideoGamer

As a Brony I love hearing this response. I think the internet would be alot more fun if Bronies weren't always pushing the fucking show on people who don't have any interest in it and if people that don't have any interest in it would stop mindlessly hating those that do.

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@DharmaDaniel

Yeah man, I love stuff like that. I think it's hilarious. I just can't get in to it. I tried. Maybe I'll do a Brony episode, who knows!

[RandomTalkingGamer]

@ThatOneVideoGamer Really? Well, do a MLP/brony themed episode next week, Jirard!

[pssmferrari]

@ThatOneVideoGamer Hey man, great list, I think you'd like the Zelda Wind Waker sound track, this game's theme song and sephiroth's theme are my music to wake up. By the way, have you submitted the rules and conditions of the picture for the free copy of skyrim? If yes where?

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@pssmferrari

Unfortunately, the contest has passed D: I'm sorry. The details were in Sonic 3 and Knuckles episode. That's why I put original aired dates in the begining of the episode because the episodes I upload throughout the week are repostings since I moved channels.

[insanegamer8]

@ZelddaLinkFreak BROHOOF!

[arsenic5150]

hah sa2b. nostalgia blast. hi5

[Heroelime]

Man,I love Adventure 2 Live and Learn,It's like that song yoou hear everything you are about to give up,and then you say,I GOT TO THIS,NOT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE BUT ME!

For me,SA2:B it's one of my favorite sonic games and my favorite game EVAR,it just did to much for me.

Thank you for that Nostalgia rush Beardman,But I now *Gets to an elevator* must go to Screw....and attack ;)

[zilla2006able]

awesome

[leandrasin]

Think you should do this more often... pretty awesome video ;)

[ZiKoN22]

good stuff. i wouldn't agree with the FF fanfare, yeah its good....but i can think of many others that are better. e.g. the beginning to Metroid Prime 3, holy shit does that theme want to shoot Ridley's face off!!!!!

[LemonCrushMusic]

Dude, this list was no good. I love your vids but no Mario songs, no Zelda songs, what gives?

[CSMEntertainment]

no Metroid theme? no whileys castle? no Hylian Steps?

Whats wrong with you? xD

[Erk1234567]

Wild Arms, Final Fantasies 6 and 7, and Sonic Adventure 2 are some of my favorite games. (A couple of friends and I got every single emblem there was to get in that game. Out of curiosity did you ever "complete it"?)

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@Erk1234567

SA2B...is something for a special holiday.

[Erk1234567]

@ThatOneVideoGamer Gotcha!

[Xiphcreature]

Oh man, I *loved* Wild Arms, it was such an underrated game and that same song (Into the Wilderness) was one of my favourites.

My personal favourite is still the song "Underworld" from a game called Terranigma on the SNES. I definitely think you should check that game out Jirard, I think you might enjoy it. Very Secret of Mana-esque in terms of its gameplay.

[GriefJerky]

@Xiphcreature Terranigma is in my opinion, one of the most underrated (or perhaps, just not very well known about) games I know of, and it is excellent in (almost) every respect. It has a very bright aesthetic and all round brilliant soundtrack, that fills the player with... pretty much every emotion. Not all at once, but...you know what I mean.

Oh yeah, and you play as a guy that resurrects all living things on Earth. And that's pretty sweet. :D

[Xiphcreature]

@GriefJerky Yes! Terranigma is easily one of my favourite SNES games of all time. Part of the reason it's underrated/not very well known is because unfortunately it was never officially released in North America, so it's very much a hidden gem that flew under the radar.

Most people who want to play it now have to emulate it, but it's definitely a game worth playing for anyone that likes SNES gaming. Terranigma is more awesome than words can possibly describe. :)

[ManuBeker2]

YEAH LIVE AND LEARN NUMBER ONE VIDEOGAME SONG!

[psychonauts0]

I was not expecting #1.... FUCK YA LOVE IT!

[TheBonek64]

Psssh Sephiroth in your room.. Don't be so scared its not like he actually exists..

Oh wait..

I hear a certain tune coming up...

[eXthMODE]

My top ten ideas: heroes, villains, weapons, guys with beards, fan service in games, hardest games, underrated games, changes in games, power-ups, party members, plots in games, evil organizations, organizations in general, transformations in games, most movie-worthy games, easter eggs, cheat codes, voice overs, saddest moments, couples in gaming, enemies, art style, genres in gaming, hardest bosses, overrated games, derps in translation, and games that for one reason or another didnt come out.

[deathman1021]

@eXthMODE so basically every kind of top ten ever done by anyone else?

[eXthMODE]

@deathman1021 most of the better ones, yeah.

[NzIzdruid]

please please pretty please review as soon as resident evil the new one it will come after 2 months i gusse review it it will be awzum

[TheEvilmonkey25]

I really love U.N. owen was her from touhou 6, it would be my number one.

[mark20589]

eeeerrrr...........Flying Battery Zone - Sonic & Knuckles and the version from Project Chaos - Dead Batteries is f00king amazing

[shadowborn666]

Max payne 1... that game was just perfect, probably one of the best game i played ever.

[Mastertprobie]

top 10 textures,

[Lantis02]

I mentioned this when you originally uploaded this video, but I still feel the need to say that I STILL get goosebumps every single time I hear the Wild Arms theme start up.  There's just something about that song, man. It gets to me.

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@Lantis02

GETS ME EVERY TIME!

[Mrbrutehater]

WILD ARMS....HOLY CRAP.

[TheCommanderSaxon]

I decoded the binary...

ITUaµUUU,Ú?

[DirkOfNintendo]

I'd like to see top 10 bosses in video games. :) But top 10 America sounds pretty promising if you ask me.

[Arausito]

this list is awesome. but my favorite song is " A love passed on" from Valkyria Chronicles, it makes me cry every time I hear it.

[woskis9161]

Top ten protagonists

[Mrbrutehater]

LOVE the resident evil shirt.

[foursword4]

This list is quite unique. For one thing, I've noticed more "jingles" than full length songs. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, it just makes your list unique. I also have to give you props for putting a Crush 40 song as number one. No matter how bad the Sonic games can get, the music is always the best.

Also, if I may suggest a game while I'm commenting, I'd love to see you review either Kingdom Hearts, Golden Sun, or Tales of Symphonia.

[rabbitkaus]

Keep up the awesome show guys. I'd like to see your top 10 Mega Man stage themes. Also I'd like to see you complete Ogre Battle... or at least go through it for the best ending (getting all the endings could be a pretty big time sink). It was one of my favorite games growing up.

[sonicgamerT]

I would like to see your top 10 favorite videogame heroes.

[specliac]

Love Wild Arms and I feel the same way about it. Saga Frontier was another one just like that. Gotta love T260G!

[DipierroProductions]

Thank You Beardman. this list was definetely amazing- just as amazing as you and your beardtastic videos!

[ultimandalex]

Do you like city escape too? from SAB2

[jackkuro]

This lacks Super Meatboy

and/or VVVVVV.

Also One Winged Angel over Dancing Mad? I'm dissapoint.

JK awesome list lol.

[OneWingedGamer18]

What is the song that plays while showing the numbers?

[MrSlingdad]

What's the music in the middle of all the segments called?

[marfeusmurf]

Hey Jirard, funny that you mentioned that you use a theme for an alarm. I used to have TRIGUN-Fool's Paradise as mine.

[Patchfoot1]

you do know that anyone could beat sephiroths final form even a couter attack, a weak level spell they made it so when you got to the part where sephiroth dies he would die in one hit. kinda dissapointing if you ask me but still a bad ass theme song.

[LeoHwzrChannel]

Funny thing today at work:

I was whistling the Skyrim Dragonborne theme then this cute girl walked by and she thought i was being rude... then i told her i was just humming this song i like and not being a horndog ...then she got offended SO THEN SHE TOOK AN ARROW TO THE...Not really, but it did happen

[AFKabi]

If you like Music from games....

Give a shot to Touhou.

No... seriously Touhou is alive now days and such a big hit only because of the music.

Even Zun said that he uses his games to promote his music.

[condeszadek]

I love the battle song in Final Fantasy VII and the encounter battle song in Metal Gear Solid, that songs makes me very happy.

[Gonpixel]

01:58 getting the fruit FAIL

[ShinoShaSha]

I also LOVED Live and Learn... especially in the space fight... it almost made me cry xD

[SandViper]

Seriously, just why is Donkey Kong music so good? Stickerbush Symphony blew my mind as a kid.

[ThatOneVideoGamer]

@SandViper

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?!?!?

[MidnightPancakes]

I wanna see greg's scupltures!

[nxtbestking]

Play the skate games

[FirstPistolSammy]

ITUaµUUU,Ú

[11darkflare]

[ShinoShaSha]

[finaldude456]

Ah Donkey Kong Country 2. I used to hum that theme for hours on end. Even in school i would hum that theme. Ah memories

[taknarian]

AUGH THE BINARY - WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNNNNN!

[CoopAllTheWay]

[SuperVaisefoder]
