COOL VIDEO I DID WITH FRIEND: th-cam.com/video/c-leL6I6I0M/w-d-xo.html
yo thanks for watching! sorry this took a bilion years to come out (least by my standards) but it is a very big video and i also got a new pc and so i to go thru the whole new pc song n dance and also i was doing a bunch of other stuff like sorting out that tape release and working on a new album and yeah. new video wont take that long tho, pinky promise.
Mr Heels can we have a standalone upload of Bitch Im Compressed.
Cassette acquired 😎
Man i dont wanna spend money but i like you so have my money thank you for mandala my g
Does your album sells to other countries? I want one but i'm from venezuela
damnit I slept on that tape and its sold out now. :(
"bitch i'm compressed" is a fucking masterpiece
Yes. So yes.
BRUH IVE LISTENED TO IT LIKE 20 TIMES
now we need the Nakey Jakey collab
No joke, is there a link to the song as a standalone?
@@cyanidesista yes, YES
"I'm compressed babyyyy"
"I'm a tiny little man in a tiny little cartridge babyyy"
Barbie Horse Adventures OST
Barbie Horse Adventures: Blue Ribbon Race OST
Thank you. Saved me a few random google attempts.
I'm about 90% sure Barbie Horse Adventures was composed by Matt Black at Blitz Games. Everything he works on is amazing and has an eerie ambience. Look up "Alaskan Belly Trouble (Mechanical) (Idle)".
@@MegaMat_Show My sister used to love the barbie games. They actually had decent music from what i remember from listening
If the Barbie OST isn’t credited then how do we know Aphex Twin didn’t compose it?
i think abt this alot
I rarely put videos into my favorites, I have like 25 over 15 years. This is in there.
There's something just intimately comfortable exploring this underexplored part of history with someone so gentle.
Thanks again for all of this complex sound shit I won't be able to retain tomorrow, but somewhat makes me feel like an expert on sound chips.
BRUH Otra vez apareces en mis favs (,:
You weren't taking notes?
Collabo when?
I got to thisa channel thanks to you furro
Un furro perdido!
I'm gonna need a copy of that compressed ass lyrical genius at about 20 minutes in. Pretty please.
Same
yuh, me too
"Bitch im compressed" gives me big NakeyJakey vibes in the best way possible
honestly same
"got a low bitrate, but I'm not depressed" That line is gold
Unironically loved that song.
Same!! I was like whoa is that his singing voice what
Better than Powfu, for sure
first few bars sound exactly like goth bitch by live solum
still bangs tho
How? How is this my most liked comment? I.. I don't understand.
I unironicly need more compressed rnb nerd songs lol
I can't believe you've made me want to play a fucking GBA barbie game.
Side note, the NES Barbie game is nice if you want a tough platformer.
i unironically love that dump skung aesthetic, the GBA is goated for that.
27:19 You touched an old wound - circa 2006 if you're a jrpg franchise and not called Final Fantasy you went portable or went extinct. Most went extinct.. My Shadow Heart to this day aches.
You actually nearly convinced me Wild Woody got ported to the GBA and I was ready to have an existential breakdown.
I bet the fucking wild woody soundtrack on gba would be an advent to behold. Both the holy rapture and the deadly apocalypse
Jesus Christ, same.
This video makes the Mother 3 OST even more impressive to me, there's some black magic fuckery in that game that really sounds waaaay to god to be on a GBA
Shogo sakai doesn't get enough credit as a composer. That guy is a fucking genius.
@@Reoko77 WORD
You can have your own mixer routine to both work around insanely wonky sample playback and add more channels. You do have the CPU horsepower to accomplish quite a bit there, though harnessing it requires some contortion due to parts of the memory subsystem being slow.
Oh yeah, you bet I'm replying to a year+ old comment. It's mostly just the fact that Mother 3 is a really tightly coded game, which also made the fan translation a massive pain to make because just looking at the code funny could break everything. Back in 2016, I also happened to be so obsessed with Mother 3's music that I dissected the midis to see what was going on. What I found is that there are rarely more than 5 samples playing at any given time. Impressive by GBA, but not quite enough to sound as rich as what you hear. That extra bit of richness comes from the use of the legacy sound channels for reverb. Not all tracks use them, but a lot of them do. Mind of a Thief and Big Shot's Theme are a couple that come to mind. Every beep and boop is carefully chosen to match the sample it's adding reverb to while also being quiet enough to not be obvious. The good ol' GBA crust also helps hide it of course. It's a really clever use of the legacy sound channels that I haven't heard in any other GBA game.
That Barbie OST sounds like something one of those AI midi music generators would make (like algomusic or NeuralComposer)
Cant wait to sleep, get back up, wait for the evening and watch this on the TV
you wouldn't believe how much i've waited for a new video thorhighheels
My personal obscure GBA favs are the Summon Night: Swordcraft Story series. The fact that they dropped localization after the second one and the series never continued past the third game is a downright travesty. It had so, so much potential for growth beyond the GBA
Loved Summon Night too!
Great summer memories of that game.
I fking luv that game. I played even the third. I tried play the ds ones too bu the swordcraft on gba is a unique gem. these and mother 3 are the best on gba
YES summon night has such a strong sense of visual identity, interesting gameplay mechanics and story that more people need to play it
they were really great games
Fading from that creepy ass Barbie horse game, to Silent Hill, was genius
The GBA had an Initial D game and it's a damn turn based racing game. The way the races are framed is just like the anime/manga; zooming on to cars brakes lighting up, cars cornering nearly grazing the walls, and dropping tires in the gutter. The GBA eurobeat is great. It uses both samples and 8bit chiptunes because they need to make room for the car sounds and tire skids. There's a gameplay guide on yt if anyones curious.
That's amazing
I never fucking knew I needed this. Turn-based anything is always worth checking out to see how they handled it.
@@WolfHreda turn based laundry washing
@@toceeno874 I'd unironically play something like that bc it's original
You do a really good job at keeping the viewers attention. Being able to keep the viewer from questioning how much time is left is quite skillful
I only check, hoping it ain't over soon
Master of watch time by just naturally keeping my attention
Sonic battle is actually pretty fun. I remember making the ultimate fighter combining moveset of all the character in the robot. Shit was fun.
Sonic battle is soooo good. Glad I'm not the only one out there who's a fan. Thor really missed out by giving up on the game
@@jamesduncan6729 I wish he could've played a bit more attention to the Story too since it's pretty interesting stuff
Sometimes we all be a tiny lil' man in a tiny lil' cartridge...
Literally just looked up thorhighheels after not watching for a while. This is an omen
You know what's ominous? Bellringing! So ring the bell to never miss any highheeled Thor shenanigans or goodness. Yippieeee!!!
I'm about 90% sure Barbie Horse Adventures was composed by Matt Black at Blitz Games. Everything he works on is amazing and has an eerie ambience. Look up "Alaskan Belly Trouble (Mechanical) (Idle)".
"TERF the RPG" and "Cringecore" made me laugh way harder than it honestly should have
haha lady who made billion dollar beloved franchise is terv bcuz she say females and males r biologically different
@@superhetoric trans people are obviously equally deserving of human dignity
however, you're not a reactionary for having some questions about the current narrative surrounding transgenderism
@@bluegum6438 a thousand percent true, strawberry slime
@@superhetoric God, I wish I was such a sheltered whiny baby that I too believed the narrative of "JK is being hounded by mean transes because she said sex is real. :C", when that is not even remotely true. Hope the propaganda by the rich and powerful trying to manipulate the narrative is delicious, lol.
@@whitezerko7783 lol have you read her tweets and the essay that put the TRAs like yourself on sewercide watch? just wondering~*~*
ah yes one hour long I'm simply excited
00:04 thank you for reminding me why I make this weird sound after I say mamamia. this line is embedded in my brain.
I contribute 100% of my love of camp to the kind of stuff I had to deal with to stand all the GBA games I grew up with.
As a kid you're forced to enjoy the bad stuff, and you learn to cherish that stuff as you grow up.
I've never been so emotionally shocked and just plain fucked by anything quite like I was just done by the transition between Barbie Horse Game to Silent Hill GBA
This gives me a new found respect for the Pokemon games on the GBA and their restraint to sticking with just pixel art and no digitising.
Ey, great video. This was all I needed to get motivated to dig my gba out, so I appreciate it. I’ve never played a mega man battle network game but I randomly ran across on at some point so it’s been taunting me for a while... Also, I love how into midi tracks these videos are, making me appreciate stuff I never really paid much attention to, but added to moods in all my favs for years, kudos.
Me: When's he gonna talk about golden Sun???
ThorHighHeels 30 mins into the video: GOLDEN SUN
Me: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
the reason the gba sound chip sounds so skung is because the goddamn thing doesnt have one
its literally all handled through the CPU
Still love the fucker
Pause at 1:14 Thor already knows my bro
CRUDUX CRUO
The little song breaks are banging., plus I love when creators lose their shit at their own improv.
New ThorHighHeels video.
Looks like you can jack in here.
Oh no, what is this Shadow Sword shit. I had no idea that game had a GBA version.
Always a pleasure to stumble across your galant figure, my beloved Quetzal.
I wish ppl making gba style compressed music becomes more of a thing
I'm sure some vaporware artists have tried it.
There's that chiptune stuff I think.
Anamanaguchi are a good chip tune band if you're looking
I’m not looking for straight up chiptune. The gba is more than that.
‘Break Infection’ by Riow Arai is what I’m looking for. It’s got that compressed sound it sounds like it could be from a gba game
Imma recommend Riow Arai. He’s the composer for Front Mission Alternative.
EDIT: I should mention that the instrumental for BITCH I'M COMPRESSED is made by riow arai as well lol
long ass thorhighheels video, fuck yeah lets go
20:49
When's the full Single of this?
Is this song fully original or the instrumental is from another song?
@@ItsEfie Warren G - Regulate, i guess
@@python7275 yo thanks man. appreciate it
@@ItsEfie you´re welcome.
SP-2021 by RIOW ARAI track 9
Legacy of Goku looks like a game on newgrounds where Goku is going to solve quizzes to get SPECIAL gifs and jpegs.
How dare you, LoG series is sick
49:05
So glad you mentioned the Roland device. Even I didn't knew how much it had been used in GBA and outside games.
This is my first ThorHighHeels video and I am in love
Thor is a class act on this website. Fuck mang every video you've made has been slap, after slap, after slap. You deserve more subs, more luv, more muns, and most of all, more hot fire like you spit at 20mins. Keep it up, keep being exactly you. Quality content right here folks, and it only gets better.
1000000000% agreed, thor is managing to improve on perfection each and every time
he is cool but was less cool when instead of roasting the dumb harry potter game he just included it for virtue signaling purposes to say "feminists bad"
@@superhetoric No, he didn't say "feminists bad". He said TERFs bad. Which they are.
@@Fragenzeichenplatte I wonder what the RF in TERF stands for? understanding acronyms are hard I guess
@@superhetoric Could you be even more passive-aggressive?
"TERFs are bad" =/= "feminists bad". Not every feminist is a TERF.
If I say "green apple are nice" does that mean all apples are nice? No, of course not. Only the green ones. That's why I added the word "green".
"Bitch, I'm compressed" or the "*New* DK rap" I don't know which is better
YES, finally my favorite portable getting the sweet love it deserves.
Sad that today it wasn't the day i saw Thor calling Shinning Souls a medieval Phantasy Star for local 4 players.
It really is a great system. But it's so fun to make fun of it
I still can't describe how much I LOVE your aesthetic that you put into your videos.
I also kind of love that TH-cam somehow thinks that this whole video is mainly talking about the GBA Shrek kart racer.
Bitch I'm compressed
I was just looking into getting a backlight modded gba for the millionth time when this was uploaded, what a coincidence.
47:57 "(Ta ta ta ta...) (Onomatopoeia for footsteps)" ...did someone straight up forget to remove the translator's notes from the game's script?
Dude, I don't now exactly what it is but the vibes from your videos make me feel super chill, and cozy as fuck.
Love your work, keep doing you fam.
Man I've been rewatching your vids recently waiting for you to drop a new one and you make one about probably my favourite system ever and talk about one of my favourite games growing up and show, medabots was my jam as a kid and I played the game a few months ago and it does hold up well for what is (altough im def biased since i grew up with it) and is full of charm. I swear your whole channel's aesthetic and themes are so in my alley that this shit seems tailormade
Also man, I feel like your channel deserves so much more attention because this is really quality content. The info, research, delivery, and editing come together into such a distinct and enjoyable package
When I was a kid I didn't have a lot of money but a gamestop was up the street. For 5-15 dollars I could buy a used Gba game. There was endless GBA games on sale. I would every Friday save money and buy a new Gba game every week for 5 dollars. Always had old save files on these random games I bought. Obviously for pokemon or something big my parents had to buy for me as a gift. I also borrowed my friends video games from gamefly. Good times
replaying warioware, i felt at the tip of my tongue there was something about the presentation that isn't present in later entries and was unique to it, thanks for giving me closure on that :)
Long time viewer, first time commenter. You are my favorite content creator. Your videos are so informative, chill and entertaining. I love the concept of looking into deep cuts of gaming and the comfort you bring. I get excited when you upload. I dont ever watch them right away. I wait a few days until I'm in that perfect mindset, chilled out and ready to absorb the material. Its like comfort food but media. I really appreciate the hard work in research, editing, commentary and thoughtful approach you have with your videos. Keep it up man. You're the best.
omg THANK YOU for this, i was just talking to my friend about how surreal games like this feel, but this is way more articulate. SO good
Fancy Nancy is the Dark Souls of Tea Party games.
I've watched this video in full three times. Absolutely magnificent.
Snappy editing, comfortable vibe, and conciseness while retaining detail.
Dude talked about battlenetwork and the medabots RPG in the same video, like wow thank you.
Also if you like Medabots(medarots) R was fan translated in 2019, its a PS1 game be if you want to scratch the Medabot itch theirs that to try out.
geniuanaly (fuck off english) in the top 5 videos on youtube for sure. Probably the only youtuber I'm actually still happy about subscribing years ago.
If we take your whole catalogue, you are undoubtedly one of the greatest. Thanks a lot for the content, I (we) appreciate it more than you can imagine ♥.
Some of the soundtracks on GBA are seriously masterful, and I feel like they won't be properly remembered and appreciated like some SNES game OSTs.
Hope you eventually do a second of this! GBA has a really cool and interesting library of weird little games that for sure deserve to be talked about
I had that tribal gameboy - woah , I know what you must be thinking.
"We got a badass over here"
Did not know that some composers used the compression in their favor. It’s like when devs of older hardware made use of crt artifacts to make the illusion of transparency. I’m gonna have to revisit some Gba ost.
What a good good CRAZY GOOD VIDEO.
And also “Hey Derek is me Derek”.
When he said "I'm a tiny lil man in a tiny lil cartridge", I felt that.
22:06
the segue into shrek swamp kart is so perfect i almost didn't realize that music wasn't from warioware
this guy is easily one of the most underrated video game youtubers
I can't stress enough how much appreciate the fact, that every video of yours has carefully placed ad breaks instead of having the ads pop up randomly in the middle of a sentence.
I am obsessed with the Megaman Battle network games. I bought a gameboy micro just to play them all in the tiniest possible way. I wish there were more games like it. Ya I know there's a steam game that just came out but I forget it's name. What I mean is the real world pokemon vibes mixed with the cyberpunk matrix world vibes. So good.
Just so everyone know, the MBN style game on steam is called One Step From Eden, it's pretty good but it does have roguelike element mixed in.
"8 BIT DOOT" sounds like a YT remixer's sound font.
This video was a mood. I really enjoyed it ThorHighHeels.
yo that ff tactics a2 bar theme was like 10/10 nostalgia so good i thought i was at summer vacation, and I'm fucking 34
Almost 10k! I'm so damn happy for you Thor! You deserve it. Legit one of the few channels I can never get tired of.
I don't think I would've ever believed I'd see someone reference the Pirates of of the Caribbean: Deadman's Chest GBA game, but here we are. I still have the cartridge for that game somewhere in my old room at my childhood home. Not sure if it still works, but I know its there. I remember my grade school brain being far too smooth and the game being far to janky for me to ever even get close to beating it. I'm pretty sure I always used to die at the first or second levels they had you controlling a little sprite ship where you had to navigate through this super mazey map filled with enemy pirate ships. I can't remember it too well obviously, but I do know for a fact I thought it was a piece of shit. Thank you Mr. HighHeels for giving me this weird kinda frustrating nostalgia!
my man with great taste in GBA games, amazing video as always
I feel like Megaman Battle Network should have gotten a bit more screen time though, the series is a total hidden gem of game design had a lot to offer (especially after the third game)
43:35 You ought to make a full version
16:32 Emerald Beach! that song goes so hard, especially when not played through a GBA speaker I imagine
finally, the GBA getting the love it deserves. bout damn time.
New fave TH-camr has been blessed to me by the algorithm. Your vibes are immaculate and I'm loving your perspective on certain topics. Excited to dig into your backlog man!
We need a full length “Bitch I’m compressed”. Another banger spideytallboots
This is a new video!?? Oh my, i was just scrolling thru my recommendation when i found this. GBA is my favorite era, nice to see a video emphasize into it
The GBA Spyro's are baller tbh.
Mega Man Battle Networks OST goes much harder than it should, it's so good
Bitch I'm compressed followed by Persona 5 compressed, this is editing masterpiece
Man, don't sleep on Winkysoft. If you liked Fist of Mars' storytelling, well
a) you're just watching Gundam
b) Super Robot Wars, being all mecha all the time, thrives on exactly that kind of Gundam-ass storytelling.
Tbh Ecks Vs. Sever GBA was awesome on the gba though Thorhighheels👌 😂
Just started watching this stuff upon the recommendation of SSG. I love this video and I love your style. Never change pls.
nice! I was always hoping you would dig into some funky gba stuff, excited to see what you turn up. keep up the great content as always
GBA is my all-time favourite system from childhood. A lot of the games are janky AF, but at the same time I am still amazed by a lot of what they were able to accomplish. Amazing video man.
March 2020: "This whole covid thing shouldn't be too bad"

Man I loved those GBC harry potter RPG games, I played them all the time as a little kid with a worm light under the covers at 1 am. I wish I had more GBA games later on, but I never had the money for them. Love all the weird little games people came up with on the console, had a lot of fun with flash carts eventually
Wow that Barbie game really is the Farrah Abraham - my teenage dream ended of games, isn't it?
holy shit just found your channel and i already know i'm gonna be binging all your vids for the next few days, i love your editing and humor.
I have already begun introducing the word 'skung' to my friends
This channel is definitely one of my best quarantine finds. Keep being awesome.
That medal of honor game gets a dishonorable discharge amirite heh heh
I cannot express how much I love and appreciate your work. Every video slaps
Dude I'm only like a third into this shit and this is already one of your best videos please keep it up man!
Super happy stumbling on this channel 😩
Been really hankering for long format vids and this absolutely scratches that itch.
I asolutely LOVED Golden Sun, and now Im really curious about a damn tennis game >_>
I can't wait for the next GBA video.
There's got to be another GBA video eventually! Even after an hour, there's still so much that could be talked. So much crust to be contemplated...
