Would people be interested in a "PYF Video Game Music" thread?

Call it the Tim Follin Appreciation Station.

There's a video game music thread in PYF already. The last post is from about three months ago.

Then it looks like it needs to be rebooted.

The Ladies of the Wood are clearly not a Triple Goddess reference. You can tell because there is no Hot One, and in fact you would be hard pressed to decide which one is even the Ugly One.

The fat one. Just like in real life, if "everything is ugly" about someone and they're fat then they're automatically worse than other "everything about them ugly" people.

They're all hot when they're at Bald Mountain making a stew out of horny teenagers.

They are either based on the Triple Godesses or they could be a historical variant of that concept. The Witcher games take so much from Eastern European folklore, but often similar concepts pop up all over Europe.
Like the draugirs. People who have drowned and come back as aquatic zombies.
In Norway we have Draugen and he lives in wooded lakes. If you walk near a lake at night he'll pop up and eat you. He also has an older brother that lives in the ocean and he'll get you on the beach. Or your dad's fishing boat if you don't behave.
Obviously this was told to children to scare them in both Norway and Poland so they wouldn't gently caress about near bodies of water or the seafront during the night.

But these folktales still live on and evolve. Take Toilet Draugen. That started out as a comedy sketch in the 70's but parents started scaring their kids by telling them that if they spent to long on the porcelain Toilet Draugen would pull them down into the sewers. My grandma told me that and I finished my business quickly any time I visited.

Thaaaanks. My greatest fear is a spider crawling on my taint while dropping a deuce.

Even my parents wouldn't have done that to me.
After I locked them out for four hours on a very small balcony as a toddler, they started saying a very friendly tarantula lived in the drapes along with her 100 young. I now hate spiders and drapery.

Dressing up your windows as an excuse to have a spider farm, pfft. I'm on to all y'all's bullshit.

No I meant there was a thread years ago about that door hanger. Can't find it now, I glanced over the PhotoShop Phriday section of the main site.
