please post portal or half life sometime

[garudoh]

Half-life will be #450. Portal is still way, way far off.

[tredlow]

Heh how bout Fallout 3? you gonna do that? Or is it just pointless cuz the music's not really original.

[garudoh]

I'm doing these videos by console generations, so although I do hope to feature current-gen stuff on my channel, it won't be for a long, long time.

[DrWindo]

I still walk around singing these tunes and humming the beats to this day. Great music, just never got old to me.

[mistaphill]

where else can you hear raps about toilets

[RookFrjosa]

This vid was awesome! I feel like I just sat through every episode of 'Hey Arnold' or something...

[HaystackCaldoon]

You gotta believe... ahhh, THIS is LIFE. <3

the toilet rap battle is one of the best things ever in videogaming.

[doslover]

"You beef jerky" what a great insult

[RobotMasterSplash]

5 people didn't step on the gas.

@garudoh There is no originality in new VG music. This is music that is memorable in a supernatural way. I have never seen music be so memorable as it was in video games. Nowadays I don't even notice the music in the background of new age video games.

hehe I loved this game as a kid.

[Andypandy2010]

I haven't played this game in 10+ years, but these songs will forever be stuck in my memory. Thanks for posting!

[8bitvlad]

[starrchika]

"Come on now! Why don't follow my words? Because we're almost done. I make it easier first I wanna if you wanna see what it means to be the man with the master plan. Are you the man now?!" This onion raps better than most people today. =P
