Phronemophobia's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mario Paint No. 43 | 2021]

Some day, you really oughta fire up Mario Paint and make a video of appreciation about it. What it does, how well it does it, how it has and continues to inspire you, and provide music and art made within in. I'm sure it would fair better than the copyright hassles that are your movie reviews. Plus, the SNES turned 30 in 2021, and everyone I know who has shared their thoughts about the console and its library throughout the anniversary have never once mentioned the significance of Mario Paint. It's slightly upsetting.

Bertn1991 responds:

Hmm, that's a very good idea. I would have so much to say. The video would write itself. I must do this! Thanks~

[Babel 2091 | 2019]

I share hoboka's sentiments on this one. It's leaves an impression of being left alone to explore something that should also be left alone. Great addition to a Halloween playlist though, and you already know how I appreciate that. Thank ya, Nertb9119.

Bertn1991 responds:

No probz! Thank YOU!

Ah, I have become the Anti-Bert! As always, you may NOT download this track and you are NOT free to use it however you like >:D

[Blue Marble | 2019]

Oh, this would be perfect for the title screen of a large-scale JRPG. It really puts one in the mood for an adventure... a sky adventure! ...IN THE SKY! *points up* ...probably that one.

Bertn1991 responds:

SquirrelSoft needs to get on that right away. Crystal Crusade VI should take to the skies ;)

[Curse of the Calamari Queen III | 2019]

Well, shit. When I saw the name, I assumed the next episode was right around the corner. That's kind of a bummer. As for the music, it almost sounds like 12PM in Animal Crossing accompanied by Zelda's Song of Healing.

Bertn1991 responds:

Sorry to disappoint. I do intend to finish The Curse of the Calamari Queen now that I feel safer having friends over to record and stuff ^.^

Ah, I can hear the resemblance. The Song of Healing was definitely a standout in Majora's Mask, and as a life-long Zelda fan I'm kind of ashamed I've only recently finished that game.

[Trumpet Zone | 2021]

When the Ragtime is so good that it leaves the pianist feeling horny afterwards.

Bertn1991 responds:

𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙡𝙤𝙡

And I totally forgot there was even a piano in this trumpet song.

[Gemini's Theme | 2019]

It's the theme you hear when Super Pete finally reaches Gemini after defeating the eighth fire-breathing bronze statue of Kenny Loggins by causing it to plummet into a pit of Danger Zone. It is then immediately interrupted by Heather's theme as Super Pete is being scolded by her for not only being late to Gemini's party, but also for destroying everyone's favorite decorations.

Bertn1991 responds:

Pete, ya giblet head! Ya done goofed up big time. The ghost of Kenny Loggins is rolling over in his grave, even though I'm pretty sure he's still alive. Also, I don't know why his ghost would also be in the grave. I don't know where I'm going with this. Happy Halloween :D

[Spaghetti | 2021]

Two thoughts went through my mind on this. The first was "This doesn't sound like something I would expect from a Western... oh, 'Spaghetti'! Durr. Nevermind. I know what it sounds like now." The second was "What if Little Mac entered the boxing ring wearing a Stetson and a bandana neck scarf? I could hear this playing before the match as he and his opponent, Buffalo Bull, watched a lone tumbleweed roll between them."

Bertn1991 responds:

That...sounds a-okay. I would totally play an old west Punch-Out. I just want a new Punch-Out, even though I probably could've even beat Buffalo Bull and/or Bald Buffalo >.<

[80's Surreal Feel]

It's an excellent song (it's why I bought it), especially from 1:00 onward. I don't genuinely feel any sort of eighties vibe from it... song's fantastic so I don't care, but the first eighteen seconds reminds me of Goldeneye 64 and listening to this now has me wanting to spend money on N64 games again.

HoboKa responds:

1:22 the arp is an 80's thing to me. But i guess the aesthetic is a little too 90's. Oh well. Glad you digged it. And thanks for supporting me. It feels great to have a dedicated fan :)

[Song of Worlds | 2020]

It made my headache go away for roughly two minutes. It's back now, of course, but the respite was appreciated nonetheless.

Bertn1991 responds:

I appreciate your appreciation. I'm so appreciatory that I had to leave my room and go into the appreciatorium to best appreciate this momentous moment.

Sorry your head's not feeling great, friend. Get well now <3

[Neanderthals | 2021]

Not sure about whether or not this would specifically relate with a Neanderthal, but it definitely creates the image of dwelling in or exploring a cold, icy cave.

Bertn1991 responds:

That's good to hear. The original title was "Ice Age" but I sorta wanted to distance myself from, er, a certain franchise.
