“Game Deaths”
Since today seems to be videogame-themed so far, here’s a hypnotic montage of video game deaths set to a chiptune rendition of “Mad World” by Tears for Fears.
Day 14: Which ocarina song do you wish worked in the real world, why?
I’ve pondered this one for a while now and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’d want the Song of Time to work in the real world. I’m going to cheat though and go with its variations.
The Song of Time because I often enjoy procrastinating and there’s many times where I wish I could go back and fix, change, or undo certain things. With this song I could do just that and correct my mistakes, or do/say something I should have but didn’t. I believe it would be of utmost use for me. Do bad on a test? No problem, lets go back and study and take the test again and do better. A close friend sick and might be dying, lets go back and make those last moments really count for something. Many many good uses for this, or silly ones.
I’d also like the Inverted Song of Time. Because then time would slow down, and I wouldn’t have to question myself about where the day went to. It’d give me more time to get things done, or to spend more time with someone I don’t always get to spend time with, and numerous other things. I think for me, it would make me feel like I’ve gotten more accomplished within the day then feeling like I got nothing done, and thus making me feel like a lazy bum.
Then there’s the Song of Double Time that would be useful as well. It would allow me to end a terrible day quicker and change it into night time where I can sleep and wake up hopefully feeling better the next morning. Or I could just play it twice and skip a whole day. I know that there’s times where I just want a day to go by for one reason or another, and this song would help if your anxious about the day you want to skip to because maybe it’s a day you’ve been waiting to happen for a while now.
So yes the Song of Time plus its variations because I can, and regardless it still involves time, so really…when you think about it, I’m not really cheating, heh.
