The Battle of Sector 001 @Romulan64

Romulan64 (Star Trek: First Contact - 1996)

In 2373, 6 years after the assimilation of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and The Battle of Wolf 359, the Borg have begun another invasion of the Federation on a direct course for Sector 001 (Earth and the Terran Solar System). The new USS Enterprise-E is uninvited from the battle with orders to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone "in case the Romulans decide to take advantage of the situation" (in reality from a distrust of Picard due to his assimilation 6 years prior). Despite the Enterprise being uninvited from the battle against the invading Borg Cube, Captain Picard defies orders and joins the fight to protect Earth.

(Famitracker) Star Trek: The Next Generation Alternate Main Theme

Romulan64 2014-12-05 | Behold, my first-ever 8-bit music masterpiece. xP

Not many people know this, but before they decided to just use Jerry Goldsmith's TMP theme for TNG, they had Dennis McCarthy, who would go on to compose music all the way through "Star Trek: Enterprise", write up his own theme for the show. Again, they never used it, and you'll see why... xP

(Spoiler Alert: it sounds cheesy... :P )

Composed with Famitracker, and edited with Audacity.

(Opposing) Bloodlines BLEND - Rondo of Blood & Dracula X

Romulan64 2014-10-15 | Yet another blend of the awesome music from both "Rondo of Blood" and "Dracula X." This time, the theme of Richter Belmont, "Bloodlines", also called "Opposing Bloodlines."

This time, however, the DRACULA X version was the slower one, and I had to speed it up by 2% to match for speed.

Mixed in Audacity.

Empire Porky Building Underground Ambiance (Extended)

Romulan64 2014-10-15 | Since I couldn't find this unsettling ambiance anywhere, I decided to record some game footage and convert it to an mp3. After the elevator quite literally drops you off at your final destination (plummeting down from the 100th floor, no less...), you find yourself in a large, lifeless cavern, with not a soul to be seen...(save the save frog, of course)

Dance of Illusions BLEND: Rondo of Blood & Dracula X

Romulan64 2014-10-13 | "Dance of Illusions" - probably the most definitive musical piece to ever accompany the final battle with Dracula in the Castlevania series. I wanted to try blending what I think are the two best versions of the piece together (from the popular "Rondo of Blood" and its less-well-received counterpart, "Dracula X"), and honestly, it sounds totally EPIC in my opinion. Just threw in some footage from the "classic" Castlevania games' Dracula battles for the effect, and voila, she is complete. xP

Blended in Audacity.

Little fun fact: the Dracula X version is 2.75% faster than the Rondo of Blood version, so I had to speed up the RoB one's tempo by that much to match it.

Right Left, Light Reft (Extended) - Mother 3i

Romulan64 2014-08-10 | So after not finding any clean, crisp versions of this, let alone extended ones, I figured I might as well make and upload one myself. I made this using the "His Highness' Theme" portion of "From Utopia" from the Mother 3i album, which you may better recognize as the battle music in New Pork City from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Just convert this to an mp3, stick this on your phone, get a portable speaker, and go around the next Comic-Con with this catchy tune blasting from the pockets of your pigmask costume! xD

I found the MIDI file on this website dedicated to video game MIDI's. This is just the SNES page, so go wild and check the rest out to your heart's content!

Now temporarily aboard Deep Space Nine, he is invited to speak with the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, Gowron, whose seat he helped secure (TNG: "Redemption"). As it turns out, there has been an uprising against the government of the Cardassian Union, and the Klingons immediately suspect it to have been engineered by the Dominion. They are about to invade Cardassian space to seize control of the Empire, when Gowron invites Worf to join them in "glorious battle." Worf, however, knowing that the Klingons are acting impetuously, declines on moral grounds, much to the dismay of Gowron...

EarthBound Intro [HD]

Romulan64 2013-12-26 | Pretty much just testing out gameplay recording with the Vizzed Retro Game Room emulator, for my upcoming "Let's Play" videos for "Mother 3". See description below for instructions on how to record HD-quality retro gaming video content:

1. Get a Vizzed account on www.vizzed.com. Make sure you download the RGR plugin, since all games require it.

2. When you select your game, in the upper left-hand corner, you'll see the option to play using an emulator that allows for video recording.

3. When you press F8 to start recording, it'll ask you where you'll want to save the resulting video. It'll begin a continuous save as long as you are recording, and all you have to do to stop recording is to press F8 again.

4. The video will no doubt be a large file, and not even QuickTime Player can open it without having audio only. So, download and use Freemake Video Converter using this link - http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter

AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO! :D

Daffy Duck on Crack (Ringtone)

Romulan64 2013-12-04 | If you want a memorably-comical ringtone, this is for you! xP

Mother/EarthBound Series - Pollyanna (With Lyrics)

Romulan64 2013-11-26 | The lyrics of this song, one of the most iconic of Nintendo's famed "Mother" ("EarthBound") series, as well as a compilation of the development of the series itself (although I left out the Beta version of the cancelled Nintendo 64 version of "Mother 3"). Enjoy!

Giygas Animation (Second Form)

Romulan64 2013-11-15 | "Don't worry...your pitiful suffering will be over soon!"

Giygas Animation (Fatally Wounded)

Romulan64 2013-11-14 | Just got some interest lately about doing animations for Giygas, the Universal Cosmic Destroyer, from Nintendo's masterpiece "EarthBound" (SNES/SFAM, 1995). So I went and found a GIF and threw effects and constant transitions onto it.

YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF GIYGAS' CREEPINESS!

The Battle of Azati Prime (ENT)

Romulan64 2013-10-28 | From the end of ENT: "Azati Prime" and the beginning of "Damage" (Season 3).

After locating the Xindi superweapon, and with Captain Archer away to reason with the Xindi, two Xindi Reptilian and two Xindi Insectoid ships attack the Enterprise. Far outmatched, the crew does their best to survive...

A Fighting Chance To Live...

Romulan64 2013-10-21 | The self-destruction of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701...
This beautiful ship had a long-time service from 2245-2285 under Robert April, Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk, (almost) Willard Decker, and Spock.

All Hands...Battle Stations.

Romulan64 2013-10-21 | The crew of the USS Enterprise-E preparing for the battle against Shinzon in "Star Trek Nemesis".

Hitler Defends J.J. Abrams Star Trek Movies

Romulan64 2013-07-12 | This sums up my support for the J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" movies, and why they not only make sense, but why people who say otherwise are self-blinded hypocrites. I simplified it for time reasons, but there's A LOT of information out there that backs up the events of the Abrams parallel universe as being entirely explainable. Play Star Trek Online and read "Star Trek: Countdown" if you want your answers to how everything that happened in the Prime Universe to cause the events of the "Abramsverse" makes sense. Just do it. Don't flame me.

Chakotay and Seven of Nines First Kisses (VOY: Endgame)

Romulan64 2013-03-27 | Just a little something special I felt needed to stand alone in the YouTube world...

This is taken from the last final episode of the last season (7) of "Star Trek: Voyager", with Seven of Nine building up her romantic relationship with Commander Chakotay. Enjoy!

I Hate You [Goat Edition] (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Romulan64 2013-03-06 | Yeah, I first started seeing these "Goat Edition" music videos pop up ALL OVER YouTube, so I figured...why not take a crack at it, myself? XD

Ruafos Scream (Star Trek: Insurrection)

Romulan64 2013-02-01 | One of the funniest (supposed-to-be-serious) moments of the Star Trek films... XD

The Best of Warp Speed!

Romulan64 2013-01-23 | This is a compilation of all things Warp Speed from the 11 "Star Trek" movies. It's interesting to see the effects evolve with time...anyway, enjoy, Trekkies and non-Trekkies alike! I own nothing!

Star Trek Nemesis Opening Credits/Scene (2002)

Romulan64 2012-11-30 | The opening credits (which are only comprised of the main title) and opening scene of the 10th Star Trek film, "Star Trek Nemesis" (2002). It's been 3 years since the end of the Dominion War, and the Romulan military is attempting to convince the Senate to accept the offer of one of its veterans, Shinzon of Remus, to join forces and become a that not even the United Federation of Planets can stand in their way. The Praetor, reaffirming the Senate's rejection of the offer, dismisses them. Leaving after their dismissal to supposedly meet with a Tholian ambassador, Commander T'lora leaves something at her Senate seat...

A Perfect Moment... (Star Trek: Insurrection)

While keeping on the run from Son'a ships towards the hills, Picard is scouting the area out, and his Ba'ku love interest, Anij, shows him how to find a perfect moment in time and almost live in it as time itself slows...

Where No Man Has Gone Before Montage

Romulan64 2012-04-20 | This is from the "Star Trek: Enterprise" finale "These Are the Voyages..." and is one of my favorite orchestrations from the show. It shows Archer about to give his speech at the foundation ceremony for the United Federation of Planets, how Riker and Troi are watching on the holodeck, and the 3 most important starships bearing the name Enterprise:

*USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (Captain Jean-Luc Picard; 24th Century)
*USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (Captain James T. Kirk; 23rd Century)
*Enterprise NX-01 (Captain Jonathan Archer; 22nd Century)

I felt like making a picture montage for it just because...RESISTANCE WAS FUTILE. Music by Dennis McCarthy.

Where My Heart Will Take Me (Instrumental)

Romulan64 2012-02-02 | Yet another one of my favorite Star Trek orchestrations, but this time, performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. It's "Where My Heart Will Take Me" from Enterprise done up in a beautiful full-orchestra piece. Again, this piece was IMPOSSIBLE to find online in full form unless bought, so I actually had to buy this one...ah, well, NOW it's free for the enjoyment of all! God bless and live long and prosper!
