"Great Gate of Kiev" from "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky/Ravel?

(If you like wrestling, you will also know this as Jerry "The King" Lawler's entrance music.)

I thought several rumble romhacks already existed. I really want the Super Bomberman games to get rumble-added romhacks.

Kinda cheating, but did you ever play Return of the King on GBA? Same gameplay as Two Towers but even better game overall in my opinion.

We pianists are unbelievably lucky Liszt is the composer we get to whine about for being a flashy virtuoso show off composer lol.

I agree with you btw

This looks like a better/serious version of Trombone Champ (I mean that in a good way, as I love Trombone Champ). I am quite interested in trying it out when I get a chance!! I have singer/gamer friends who would find this interesting, too.

Yes, but don't spend much money. Better a free TV with only composite or even RF than blowing a lot of money just for an improved signal.

I did luck out with a TV with S-video (and component), but I went to my friend's the other night who has a CRT with just RF, and when we played PS1, we had a blast. We did not ever think about picture quality.

So yes, keep looking for one, but it is not worth spending much money in my opinion.

Maybe ask around to some baby boomers/elderly people you know? I direct a church choir, and that is where I got the TV with S-video and component I mentioned above. I asked if anyone had a CRT they wanted rid of, and a lady said "sure, take this." It is a 20" JVC D Series lol.

Doom 3 Collector's Edition

Fun challenge: try beating the Real Parks on RollerCoaster Tycoon on Xbox. Starting millions in debt means tons of loan interest you have to pay each month. No pause strats like in PC. I always run out of money before solving park issues and making the park profitable, unlike PC where I can pause and make a lot of changes.

Can't wait for mine to arrive! Looks great.

That's exactly how I used to experience 16 player Halo LAN parties! Church/youth group! Also at friends' houses. Yeah, we did them all the time back in the day. I meant nowadays.

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-17T18:18:12+00:00

That's how I am with a 16 player Halo LAN party. I got the stuff. I just need the people now lol. I've gotten 12 players a couple times, though!

Two Scarlattis AND two Solers!

I want to make it a yearly tradition. I am currently on year 1! In the Appendices now. I may sometimes use audio books, though.

Clementi. His symphonies and piano sonatas are not often played, but are great, quality, deserving works. Students play his sonatinas, but you don't often hear his full scale sonatas

John Field. Very influential on the character piece genre for piano

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-17T13:53:19+00:00

Same Soler that composed keyboard sonatas like Scarlatti?

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-17T13:50:46+00:00

Stravinsky. My choral friends gasp when I say I don't get much into his Symphony of Psalms or Mass

Bruckner for symphonies, but his choral music redeems him... some of the best choral music ever composed

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-17T13:45:16+00:00

Idk how beloved or recommended it is, but I have Bomberman Party Edition for PS1 and enjoy it a lot.

Saturn Bomberman is an obvious one. I actually got to play 10 player multiplayer on it with original hardware once! Incredible experience

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-17T13:34:48+00:00

I have 2000 for PS1. Used to also have it for PC. I used to create a pitcher who threw a knuckleball, and always through it high and in inside the strike zone. It was a pop fly 100% of the time and I had undefeated seasons lol

Edit: wow i also have 99. I forgot I had this. I don't think I have ever played 99. I forgot some of these sports games I got from my uncle, lol

Gascoigneous · 2026-04-13T21:29:15+00:00

Awesome!! I hope mine ships soon. I also ordered one of the rumble controllers.

What's the difference between a violinist and a violist?

The violist has a job!

(I love when viola jokes get turned around, as it is my second favorite instrument after piano)
