| Sweet Child o' Mine in Mario Paint Composer - 92 sec Okay, I know I've been rather dormant on the MPC front for a few months, but I have my reasons. Mostly, I had other things to attend to, including applying for (and landing!) two jobs. I also have been trying to finish a stepwriting project, and I keep extending my predicted completion date. Finally, in the last few weeks, I've had video recording issues that were finally resolved tonight by reinstalling some codecs. So, as per a request from Skizzick, I took a shot at more of Sweet Child o' Mine than anyone else has posted.
If the sounds seem a bit different than usual, it's because they are. SatoshiLyish has created a few new soundsets for MPC which are a clear improvement over the default ones. This soundset features an echo/sustain effect for each note, meaning the swans now sound more like electric guitar, which made them perfect for this song.
I know it's not the whole song, but the rest is either much the same or an impossible-to-transcribe guitar solo. Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: guns roses and sweet child of mine guns'n'roses  |
| Disconnected Zeo Double Expert - 123 sec This is my new favourite double chart from ITG3. I swear to myself that I will one day 98 it. Until then, this video is good enough. ;) Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: ITG ITG3 In The Groove r21 custom song DDR Disconnected Zeo Doubles Expert  |
| Portal Radio Song in Mario Paint Composer - 91 sec This is the other version of "Still Alive" in the game Portal. It sounded like it would be fun to try, and it's such a short, catchy loop... I couldn't resist! Naturally, some of the parts were slightly improvised (the cars and the Game Boys), but luckily I have a bit of practice playing samba music. Originally, the Game Boys were cats, but they competed too much with the horns for the melody. Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: Portal Radio Song Still Alive Mario Paint Composer 2.0  |
| Re-Uploaded! Super Mario Athletic Theme in MPC - 101 sec The old version of this video has been down for some time now, and after all that time, even changing browsers won't let this video work. So I decided to upload it... again. Enjoy... again!

| Still Alive Song With Mario Paint Overdub - 174 sec Apparently, you'd like to hear what the two versions sound like together (if you haven't done it already). Well, here it is, with a bit of volume adjustment for a better balance. EnJOY! Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: Portal Credits Song Still Alive 2.0 geoffnet1 Jonathan Coulton Mario Paint Composer MPC  |
| Your Body Is a Wonderland by John Mayer in MPC - 243 sec I wanted to get this done before midnight, but it took a little extra recording because I forgot to remove some placemarker notes in my first take. Anyway, I present to you my latest Mario Paint Composer transcription: Your Body Is a Wonderland, by John Mayer. It's a favourite of many from 2001, including me, which is why I chose it. Happy late birthday to me! =D Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: John Mayer Mario Paint Composer  |
| Pi-Tha-Go-La-Switch! in Mario Paint Composer - 20 sec Just a quick video letting everyone know I'm still here. I always liked this little tune from those Japanese marble videos... ^_^ I've spent most of my recent days writing stepcharts, so that's why I haven't uploaded any new MPC videos.

| Thriller by Michael Jackson in Mario Paint Composer - 220 sec Out of all my MPC videos, this one by far took the longest, was the most fun to make, and is the one with whose results I am most pleased. If it were up to me, this video would have more hits than Still Alive 2.0. ^_^ I had to put it off somewhat due to final exams, but I just finished my last one today, so I was motivated!

| Top 10 Annoying Things on YouTube - 241 sec We've all seen something on YouTube that annoys us. Finally, there's a video that says it so you don't have to. If you don't get some of the jokes, just visit www.homestarrunner.com and watch Teen Girl Squad and the sbemail "Web Comics".

| Macarena in Mario Paint Composer - 97 sec Remember the fad this song started in the 90s? Yeah, I didn't think so. Probably because we all spent hundreds in therapy trying to forget the dance moves...
The video is only about a minute and a half long because that's about as much of the Macarena you can stand and have it still be funny. ;) I had to make small melodic sacrifices, but they're not terribly noticable. Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: macarena mario paint composer 90s  |
| (Old) Super Mario World Athletic Theme in MPC - 100 sec Check out the update.
What better music to choose for a program designed to simulate a game for the SNES! Now THIS one was fun to make, and it only took 4 hours, including the video editing. It's short and sweet since the music itself is just a loop, but there's a few extras in this video!! Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: Mario Paint Composer Super World Music Nintendo  |
| 100 Years (by Five for Fighting) in Mario Paint Composer - 237 sec PLEASE READ; YOUR OPINION MATTERS!
Since my last MPC song got so much appreciation, I decided to try another song. This time, I receded into my music library and pulled out one of my favourite tunes: "100 Years" by Five For Fighting. It took about 9 hours over three days, and it doesn't sound as good as I'd like, given there's no string instrument, but I think it came out well. What I'd like to know from you is: which kind of song should I try next/keep trying? Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: Five for Fighting 100 Years one hundred mario paint composer Pop  |

| GTI Tears in May DE - 116 sec This is the second version of my stepchart for this song. I tried playing it in the arcade, but I sucked at it. =P So I thought I'd try uploading it as a screenvid instead. Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: DWI ITG r21 glistening to infinity double expert  |
| Still Alive 1.0 in Mario Paint Composer - 173 sec Version 2.0 is a bit better -- this video is linked to 2.0 by being a "response" to it. ^^;
A friend has the game Portal, and he played the end theme song for me a couple months ago. I really liked it, so I downloaded it that night. Today, I bring you the Mario Paint version. XD! This was very fun to make, and it took me just over 3 hours. Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: Still Alive Portal Mario Paint Composer  |
| ITG Dawn in Mario Paint - 121 sec I saw some awesome Mario Paint videos today from HCBailly and decided to give it a shot. (Luckily, there's a bit of a tutorial in his collection.) Naturally, an ITG song was my first choice. =D Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: ITG Dawn ITG2 Mario Paint Composer Electronic  |
| GTI Dope Groove DH - 111 sec A really fun 9. Just the right difficulty in the steps, and a cool spin run after the stop (if I could just nail it... ^^; ) Auteur : geoffnet1 Tags: DWI ITG r21 glistening to infinity double hard  |
