Video: YouTube guitarist FamilyJules7X enjoys making metal covers of his favourite video game themes, so he put together a medley of 50 rapid-fire clips that go by so fast it's impossible to pick them all out. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try. No peeking, now. Some video game themes are so iconic that even a few seconds of distorted medley is enough to identify them. Others, not so much. I hit play and minimised the video the first time around (thanks to Adriana for the tip), and I maybe picked out 15 of the 50. How about you?

How I Nearly Got Stomped Playing Pokemon Go In A National Park
It's 10 p.m. and I'm being hunted by three furious 20-somethings in a pitch-black National Forest. They're pretty pissed off right now. It's like I've lined up all of their mothers, gotten a good running start, and combo-slapped the bunch, Mexican wave style. All of the champagne swear words are coming out, too, folks. F 'n' C combos, mostly – a rural Aussie classic.
The vast, empty bushland around us echoes their rage back to sender, doubled. It's a racket loud enough to disturb a colony of flying foxes who screech back in annoyance, as if they're angry Zubats about to be caught. Like me.
How did I get into this predicament? That requires a little Pokemon Go lesson and a fifteen-minute rewind of this pretty unheroic tale.
The New Cyberpunk: The Promise Of A Brighter Video Game Future
What is it we see? Is it the same every time? We allow our minds to wander during some mundane task like washing the dishes, paying bills or brushing our teeth. That’s usually when it happens. In our mind, things start to change. Our imagination takes over. This room could be different. So could our lives. Suddenly, our surroundings begin to transform into what we want. What we’ve always wanted. We pick and choose from what we have read, seen and played.

I heard Megaman 2's Dr. Wiley (?) theme, Pokemon's Title Theme, Kirby something, Zelda, Tetris... AND MARIO of course...
6/50
And then I realised how uneducated I am.
Doom, the only one in the mix that sounds identical to the source material
Needed more F-Zero and Castlevania! So many memories of those soundtracks from the SNES.
Well, that sucked. I know the music for most of the songs in that list but for most of them their sections went by with only 3-4 notes, you can barely make out what half of them are. Doom stood out at least.
