Robert J! Lake, Nick Smalley, Luke Benjamins, and Erik Scheele: (album audio commentary)

Nick: I love this one.
RJ!: I love this one too. Hi, Jit.
Nick: Forget everything else, this song's the best.
Jit: Hi... yeah... it's like— RJ!: This is one of my favorites.
GFD: Jit, how did— Jit: It's like, god, this thing is so freaking old. This is before Dave had a fight theme, and I was like, "I'll try making one".
RJ!: I actually wish this was the fight theme over Beatdown.
Nick: Mmm.
GFD: Jit— Jit: I don't know, Beatdown was cool though.
GFD: How do you feel about— Jit: It's just like... RJ!: Beatdown, I like... I like Beatdown but... I like this more.
GFD: Jit, how do you feel about yourself when you listen to this?
Jit: Um... Nick: Probably the same way you feel about how you listen to your stuff.
GFD: I feel amazing.
Jit: It's like... I don't know, I think it could've been better 'cause Famitracker could do a whole lot more as evidenced by like, Pumpkin Cravings. But it kinda shows like my inexperience with the whole thing in general.
RJ!: But, I don't like Pumpkin Cravings as much as this.
Nick: I don't like Pumpkin Cravings. It's not my favorite. Jit: Oh you shut your face. You shut your face, RJ.
RJ!: It's true, though, this is awesome and I kinda... Like, I look at Pumpkin Cravings as this weird little, kind of off-side thing that's not as good as Beatfox's other stuff.
Nick: Yeah.
Jit: Have you seen the Famitracker file for it though? It's crazy.
RJ!: That doesn't make it good, that just means it has mental problems.
[collective laughter]
Jit: Yeah, I mean crazy awesome— RJ!: I don't care.
Jit: —I mean the music is just great too, it's like "Oh, great, this Jit guy, he's got a triangle"... No, it was like a square doing the bassline and some really sparse electronic... noise drums, and the other square doing the melody. And then the triangle comes in, and it's arpeggios!
RJ!: Oh my godddd, yes! Jit: Oh, woah!
RJ!: It's gorgeous, it's simple, but it's gorgeous. Jit: You got this crazy shit right there, I mean, Jesus.
GFD: It sets itself apart, it is, uh... I don't know what it is.
Jit: Yeah, I think this is like the first thing I ever made in Famitracker too.
RJ!: I've never made anything in Famitracker, so you're still beating me in that regard.
GFD: This is still better than the first things I made in Famitracker.
RJ!: It's...
Nick: Yeah, you tell me, this is like, way better than what I started out with.
GFD: RJ, haven't you watched my Famitracker tutorial yet?
RJ!: Haven't had the time, I'm more busy than... I'm busier than God. GFD: It's only... it's only an hour. It's only an hour.
RJ!: I know, and I'm busier than God as I just said.
GFD: God has all the time in the world, though. Literally.
Nick: Woah, what the hell was that?
