Oh, wow. I want to hear your album, with a catchy title like that.
And as a fan of both RMM and ZP, I really do hope that you find your song ^-^

I feel like this one was written because of me... I few weeks ago I had asked if Rebecca was going to write songs about older games and not recent ones. Maybe just coincidence, but still...

Also, Daisy Dog is so cute!

I'll have to see if I can come up with some lyrics for a Yahtzee song that might fit your style...

Well done and look forward to the album!

Yahtzee?

Some may say you're a sociopath
With the help of your imps on your staff
Making game developers feel your wrath
and using your wit to make us all laugh

Any good? Just a thought is all. Good luck.

As always, a soothing charm, weaved by a....wait.... did you say a Yahtzee song? Yahtzee!?! How'd that going to work? Apart from having a lot of swearing....And pure hate poured over everything. Apart from Branston pickle, he like's that pickle. And who doesn't?

Album soon! Yay!

Lovely song and video. Major nostalgia seeing all those old games. Was that Jumpman at one point?

Write Yahtzee a love song about Branston Pickle.

Oh, and continue to be awesome! We love you!
The Epic Win... that's a great name for an album.

The song was awesome, really something for me to keep in mind for a soundtrack if I'm ever out filming.
But unfortunately in comparison, I felt that the video was very weak.
The footage of the building up and breaking down of the machine was good, also as is some of the pieces when you were out in the trees.
I understand that these are all solo films, on a very limited budget and also you are most likely more a musician than a filmmaker.
But some of the cutaways do seem rather pointless, the dog is cute but holds almost no relavence to the rest of the video. As well as that I felt that the retro game sequences were also quite weak, it seemed more off putting than anything else to have a keyframed in picture of the machine following the game.
But all in all, that's my opinion. I still however love the music and will definately be buying your album once it's released.

Daisy Dog had me at lying down on your pillow in the most painfully cute way possible.

As for writing for ZP, well my first inclination would be to write an ironic bit, telling him to "slow down and take a breath", focusing on bits where you felt he strayed (games you enjoyed which he bashed or something). But, I doubt this could easily be made into an "I adore you" sort of song.
