@EvanNarcisse:

I didn't overlay any music, but some of the YouTube kids did. I think 8-bit is becoming more and more normalized in terms of how we hear it. It's less a retro novelty and more another instrument. I'm all for it!

This is so awesome that I can't even believe it. I feel patriotic. Wait, no, no. That's just some gas from the blue berries I ate this morning.

I've got a bunch of potential Swag Tester prizes on my desk, but I say that we just play this one for pride.

@johnteti:

I don't think it's fair for me to participate, since I was in the e-mail planning thread. That said, there are quire a few games in there that I didn't recognize.

Anne, can we get a prize for this impromptu contest?

Ryan!!

I loved this!

I especially liked how the various musical styles (both in-game and overlaid, right?) created a weird tension. Going from that loud symphonic riff to the quiet, puny 8-bit sounds of Super Mario Bros. made me laugh.

We should make a contest for readers to guess every game in the clip, eh?
