Lifeseeker – Dead Rising
Used in a boss fight with homicidal convicts armed with a Humvee, a .50 Cal machine gun and a bat Life Seeker has managed to put together a song that make me want to fight viciously and do high risks maneuvers.This song was a big part of my early days on the 360. Whenever I was about to do some really intense stuff, I’d throw this song on and go to work.This was the unofficial theme song of my character in Saints Row, what I trained to in various fighting games, PvP, etc.The only thing I probably haven’t done to this song is sleep. This song makes me want to punch whatever is in front of me. They never made an official video for it and I’m glad I don’t think my body could take it. The song is the one in the header. It had to lead this post off.

The Futureheads – Dirt 2

I didn’t own Dirt 2. I’ve played it during sometime at 8-Bit and this track came on and I knew I was going to like this band. I am growing an appreciation for UK bands (I’m a pretty decent Franz Ferdinand fan, Blur,etc). I have to get around to download-er I mean purchasing their fine music off of a respectable music site or from a record store. Piracy is bad M’kay?

Pnau – Baby Breakbot Remix Gran Turismo 5

This song was in GT5. I’ve been getting into this sort of sound for a while now. I heard this during an option screen and needless to say I’ve been hooked. It’s perfect for tinkering around with your army of imaginary cars or just lounging around your apartment all day when you’re supposed to be working. I will be looking for more stuff from them so stay tuned for what I find.

Bif Naked – Project Gotham 2

Bif has been around for ages but I just never listed to her (my music tastes weren’t that developed yet). However hearing Regular Guy and Tango Shoes drifting in Project Gotham sort of put the bug in my ear. Her voicing Zoe from SSX also gave her some extra street cred with me. I picked up the album Purge from her and I wasn’t disappointed either.

Freezepop- Frequency/Amplitude

A lot of people say they discovered this band in Rock Band, the reason why they were in Rock Band is because they were in the first games that Harmonix put out (Frequency/Amplitude). Their brand of sci-fi pop or whatever they want to call it is super infectious. They have a ton of songs but I recommend you start with Science Genius Girl then Super Sprode then you go nuts with it. It’s pretty video gamey but I think that’s exactly the sound they were going for.

Turntable.fm is a new website that was founded in May 2011 for Windows, Mac, and iOS so far. Currently only available to the US due to copyright laws, It allows users to take turns playing songs for each other by allowing them to ‘DJ’ in an interface based room with avatars, and a chat box. You can add other DJ’s song’s to your queue by snagging them while they are playing, the site is also linked with amazon, iTunes, lastfm, spotify, and rdio.

Turntable will check your friend’s list from Facebook or Twitter to track which rooms your friends are listening to music in so that you can join in if you want. You can create a room, or join one that is already made. Once you’re in, you’ll see 5 DJ tables at the front of the room. If no one is occupying it, you can click on it to start DJing. Turntable will allow you to upload mp3s from your computer, or search their database. When it’s your turn, whatever song is at the top of your list will play automatically.

So how do you know you’ll find good songs here? The answer is that each song played can be rated by the audience while it’s playing by hitting the awesome or lame button at the bottom. Whatever the score was at the end of the song is recorded in the room history. DJs get points for playing awesome songs, and lose points for playing lame ones. These points allow them to get new avatars. As of right now there aren’t a lot of them, and I’m happy to say that the focus of turntable is definitely on the music, not what you can gain by playing it.

What really keeps me interested in this site, is the community. You’ll often find people settle on sticking around the same rooms from day to day, and after a while become friends. People who are upcoming or already popular DJs have been frequenting the site and playing their original tracks, Sir Mix A Lot came on and played his favorite hip hop tracks for a day too. My work buddies even caught on, and now they play music for each other while they work. It truly is a unique interactive experience.

Some people ask, “Is this illegal?” and while it has not been thrown in to the limelight, you will find some restrictions as they operate under the DMCA. If you are the only one DJing in a room, you can only hear a preview for your song, which makes it so you can’t use it like an MP3 player and play for yourself. There has to be at least one other DJ at the table. There is also a limit on how often a song can be played per hour. In July 2011, TTFM signed ad deal with the ASCAP to ensure songwriters, composers, and publishers would be compensated for their songs being played on the site, making it entirely legal.

Borderlands

Her light armor

At number 5 it’s Borderlands. A post-apocalyptic waste land that is reminiscent of those Mad Max days. The downloadable content for the game includes a very special lady Max Moxxi who runs the Underdome Riots, a competition of gun fights we’re only the baddest survive. If you swap the Underdome for the Monsters Ball (childish chuckle) it’s almost the same concept if you take into account Moxxi’s design:

Almost a dead ringer for one of her outfits anyway

Considering Gaga’s penchant for machine gun braziers (as evidenced in the Alejandro video) I am sure not to many players will notice the change unless a dance routine breaks out. The decor for a one of Gaga’s concert is almost just like Pandora anyway with monsters on stage and people wearing a bunch of shiny metal parts and weird stuff, all they are missing is some clap traps (giggle), some skags and Catch-a-ride.

Gaga's future post Boob job

Street Fighter

This is one of the most obvious ones after you think about it. The names of her songs could easily be special, super and ultra moves. Her flamboyant style, her thousand yard gaze and her athletic (albeit tiny) frame would make for her to be a natural in Capcom’s flag ship fighter. The Japanese go crazy with the character design and Gaga’s character is already crazily designed so therefore this is a match made in heaven. We get a remixed version of one of her songs, the haters get a way to beat up Gaga over and over again and the fans get to beat up people as Gaga, everyone wins!

9-1 match up eaisly in Gaga's favor

This is too perfect. Ono needs to make this happen.

Final Fantasy

At number 3 it’s the Final Fantasy series. It’s nearly impossible to pick what game Gaga belongs in this series because she can be in any of them her outfits alone qualify her for so many different games. However one game in the series pops into my head and I think she would be the perfect villian for. That’s Final Fantasy 8.

I think she’d be a better villain that Utlimecia was. Granted that logically she may have inspired Gaga’s garb and make up due to the fact Gaga was 13 at the time of Final Fantasy 8 but after checking out her Judas video and some of the random Google images of Gaga, it’s tough to believe that Ultimecia didn’t play a role some where in Gaga’s development.

Go watch the Judas video,trust me.

Aside from their interesting fashion sense. They both like their pretty ‘bad’ boys. Pick any of Gaga’s videos plus her real life boyfriend and they similar to Seifer Almasy, Ultimecia’s lackey.

Why not

No More Heroes

Reaper Reaper

At number 2 it is one of my favorite games, No More Heroes. With the crazy designs for characters and their back story, Lady Gaga just fits right in “Scorned by her lover Gaga swore that she will be the most famous one day, so famous that her ex would never be able to even get a cup of coffee without seeing her” just add the twist some where in there that she kills him and you got yourself Gaga as an assassin.

Close but there's not enough skin out

To be honest with the exception of a few characters in the game gaga has worn something similar to these characters already without any Photoshopping required. Aside from the characters that are wearing ‘normal’ clothing the over the top stuff has already been done. I def want to see Gaga pull off the Alice Twilight look with the light sabers. The outfit I feel she wore already during any of her concerts.

Change the hair color and you have a winner!

Silent Hill

The number one game which is the place for Gaga is Silent Hill. The reason why she belongs here also helps explains my interest/obsession with her. She just simply looks like she lives there. She has that look in her eye that she has seen the horrors of this sleepy town and that she’s changed by it.

Pyramid Head got her D:

Also I don’t think she could be Gaga all the time I am fairly certain there are times when she is just Stef. it’s the same way Silent hill isn’t hell world all the time. Take a look at exhibit A:

So normal

How does a normal girl become this:

Exhibt B

not that it’s a bad thing, however it maybe jarring for someone to leave a lovely brunette (now blonde) to go to the bathroom and then all of a sudden come out of the bathroom in a completely different place with a differently woman in front of him. I feel that you were to date Gaga that would be the summary of what’s going on.

Just imagine this you’re enjoying a nice day at the pool with your Gaga:

then you doze off for a little bit, check your phone or you fall down a hole (hey it happens all the time in the Hill) and all of a sudden you’re faced with this:

My advice would be to if bring your flash light and radio with you at all times so you avoid waking up to one of these instead of your beloved (Gaga)

All things said I had fun putting together this list. Just looking at the crazy outfits she has worn with a serious face made me laugh. She’s one hell of a show-woman with a flair for the dramatic and absurd I guess you can say. The biggest knock I can say is her dance moves remind me of Cactaurs from the Final Fantasy series but that’s about it.

BioShock

At number 10 I pick Bioshock because quite simply there are some looks that Gaga has used that makes her look as if she came straight out of Rapture. Combine that with the fact she has that retro-esque look to her. You’d wonder if she was really on Atom. I also could see her performing for Sander Cohen as one of his master pieces.Both Gaga and Sander are huge believers in pageantry I am sure they would hit it off since Gaga’s imagery sometimes (a lot of times) is pretty dark and I think she’d be really famous after Rapture goes to hell. I think her boss fight would be pretty cool with her Rah Rah Rah’ing or just singing to you over the P.A. while her little monsters stalked you through her section of Rapture.

A-A-Atom face her A-A-Atom face

Bayonetta

At number 9 I do agree with CNN that Lady Gaga belongs in Bayonetta.Just google any of Gaga’s videos and then watch this.

Even after watching the Madison Square Garden concert. I couldn’t help but want to play Bayonetta right after. Sadly the fact remains Bayonetta is a better dancer(Sorry Gaga). Also just take a look at a background dancers and look at the Bad Romance video. They fit right in with this little number plus it’d be cool do see an actual rendering of the fame monster and the disco stick would make for an interesting weapon.

Maniac Mansion

At number eight, I went old school and dug up Maniac Mansion. Not there’s any sort of music routines involving sandwiches or hot sexy inmates. But the game is very quirky and I think Gaga’s character along with many of her outfits would fit in that mansion quite lovely. I think her character would probably be really the normal one in this game to throw everyone off.

My, my Telephone

Besides Gaga plus tentacles is a good thing as we found out a MSG during her concert when the fame monster removed her clothing. It’s a win-win for our logo and tentacles everywhere.

SSX tricky

At number 7 SSX Tricky made the list because Bif Naked, Macy Scott,Jim Rose, Lucy Liu, Oliver Platt and Billy Zane voice acted for this game. Look up those names on Google images and then wiki them (I’ll wait.) Now tell me she doesn’t belong on that cast. She’s a screamer, her alternate outfits would be wild. I’d love to see her uber-tricks (giggty.) It would be a reason to also remix some of her music and include it in the game. Check out the opening, you could easily squeeze some Gaga in there of Psymon because they are so close in design anyway.

Castlevania

Castlevania is the obvious choice for Gaga. The reason why it’s 6th on this list because between all of Gagas outfits it’s tough to see if she’ll be a common enemy or a boss based on her outfits. I know for sure she’d be some type of vampire or succubi. Just take a look at the Alejandro video.

Take a look at this boss fight from the newest console Castlevania game, Lords of Shadow and tell me Gaga doesn’t belong in this world.Gaga would wear this to an awards show.

Team Teamwork has been working with electronic music production since 2007 with the initial intensions of working with traditional mashups. “I originally set out to make a remix album of mashups of rap songs and Justice’s †. In figuring out how to make that work, I learned why that was an awful idea and I decided to try sampling other things.” This lead to the creation of “Good-ass Remixes Vol. 1,” a hip hop remix album that is a little more straight forward (but altogether awesome, as the title implies).

Like many collaborations of ideas the video game mashups occurred through happenstance. “One day I was really frustrated with not being able to find a sample to use. Serendipitously, my girlfriend was playing Ocarina of Time and I noticed that the Overworld theme was around 80-90bpm, which is perfect tempo for hip hop. So I tried using that as a sample, and it worked so well that I set a goal to make an entire album using OoT-based samples.” The result was the aptly titled “Ocarina of Rhyme”.

Team Teamwork’s third album “Vinyl Fantasy 7” took the idea of video game hip hop beats just a bit further. The general idea stayed very much the same as “Ocarina of Rhyme,” but the production quality improved.  “Between OoR and VF7, a friend taught me about compression and EQing. And I spent a lot more time on the mixing of VF7.” This insistence on improvement carried through to his newest album. “On SNSG, I spent about twice the amount of time as OoR and VF7 combined on mixing and had an engineer friend help me with mastering. “ The difference is noticeable, with “Super Nintendo Sega Genesis” having a much broader range of frequency and complexity. Listening to a track from “Ocarina of Rhyme” next to a track from “Super Nintendo Sega Genesis,” it is apparent what a difference this extra work and time can make.

While these albums may strike a chord with hardcore retro gamers, Team Teamwork never personally identified himself as a ‘retro gamer.’ “I actually didn’t know a whole lot about the SNES or Genesis soundtrack worlds going into this project. I didn’t have an SNES as a kid and I sometimes borrowed my aunt’s Genesis.” That’s not to say that there has not been any context with the games he has based his project upon. While he may not have known everything about the 16-bit era of video games he did have some experience with the source games for “Ocarina of Rhyme” and “Vinyl Fantasy 7.”

While these 16-bit games may trigger a sense of immediate nostalgia for gamers, this reaction is not the reason Team Teamwork does his thing.  In fact, the video game music is far more for aesthetics than nostalgia or reference.  Team Teamwork samples “video games for beats because it seems like a largely untapped area with great samplable material – as opposed to sampling soul, new wave, Brazilian funk, or whatever.”

Much like the games that the source music comes from, Team Teamwork’s music is fun to listen to. There are no heady ideas to pull out of it, nor absurdly complex mathematical aspects to decipher. In a way, the music has done just what the source material achieved so many years ago: it presents something seemingly simple and makes you want to experience it again and again. This is a fantastically difficult result to attain in a medium in which redundancy is a core component.

It is easy to tell that I am a fan of the projects Team Teamwork has undertaken over the last few years and desire to hear more, but not everyone has warmed up to the mashups like myself. “There is a lot of nerd-outrage… It’s mostly from kids that hate rap and see anything that puts rap with their precious memories as blasphemous.” It is important to remember that these ideas and games belong to the culture at large, and are not propriety of our past. It can be difficult for us video game fans (or hip hop fans) to severe our conceptions of those songs we love so much and hear them in a new context. But the ability to disassociate your conceptions and absorb past ideas born anew is an ever more necessary skill in this increasingly Meta, postmodern cultural landscape.

It’s an interesting experience to hear Childish Gambino rap over a track from “Streets of Rage.” Yet, in my opinion, it feels oddly natural. Anything with a 4:4 beat structure is able to be remixed. Any of the songs we knew so well as kids can be used to create something new. Let’s not fight the tide. If anything, Team Teamwork will continue to make music that he would like to hear. As of now, I find that I have similar sensibilities, so I look forward to what comes out down the line.

Oh, and its good to know that Team Teamwork had the same reaction when he found that Dr. Octagon matched up with Yoshi’s Island. “I yelled ‘AWWW YEAHHHH’ as soon as I had the Yoshi sample beat mapped with the vocal.”

This week, the Geek Fist boys talk about the impending Japanese invasion that happens every few years known as Pokemon, the big Thundercats 2011 cartoon trailer, their experience in playing the Yakuza 4 demo. We also talk about the godliness that was 90s television and how it is making it’s a huge comeback online and in small fan groups. And we take a moment to remember Dwayne McDuffy and the impact he had on the comic industry.
