Destiny & Zorsy do me proud with their performance of the earlier parts of video-game-medley-megamix-on-piano originally improvised by moi, "The Games We Played". GOOD GOSH! They've also got Parts 2 & 3 up, and more video game music vids on their YouTube account.
Meanwhile, in an epic thread on the FlashFlashRevolution Forums, the sheet music transcription of "TGWP" by "jonathanasdf" and Andy aka "Da Only One" (thx for the correction!) continues over a span of months. Let me know if I missed any credits, I want to attribute where due!
This makes me simultaneously wish I had a better grasp of conventional notation while having an effusive admiration of their persistent progress. I'll post the sheets prominently here when they're done. Also encouraging to see who else is anxious.

Awesome!
But…wasn't there a bit of an effort here to transcribe TGWP? It was mainly confined to comments…
@thattagen: Yes, that's concurrent and being done by some of the same people. The discussion spans my blog post and those forums!
Hi Torley, this is Destiny.
I'd like to make a request to add this link as well as the Flash Flash Revolution link?
The link is as follows: http://www.rithum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=963
Thank you for promoting our videos on your site.
Many thanks,
Destiny
Hello,
Just to update, only Andy (aka. Amzy aka. "Da Only One") and I are working on the sheet music. Blue Bird is just someone impatient to get their hands on it, and Destiny and Zorsy are the ones who perform and make youtube videos of it.
Thanks,
Jonathan.
Hey Torley,
Thanks again for your support on behalf of everyone working on this project! Anyways here's part 4 (the final part that i will play)

Hello Torley,
Just to note, the 4th video will most likely be recorded again. My expensive camcorder was stolen, therefore caused a delay upon uploading the videos. Once I am ready to record again, expect to see the same piano and the usual quality given out by GameMusic4u of Youtube.com -
Many thanks,
Destiny
@Destiny: Please go ahead! SUCKS to hear about your camcorder, hope things will be alright.
@Jonathanasdf: Let me correct that error. I'm sorry I misread that post. The accuracy is MUCH appreciated.
@Zorsy: Right on, will watch soon!
oh yeah destiny how was your piano contest?
I'm so glad I finished my part… First of all, I thank Jonathan for putting up with my lame excuses since the start. Lemee name some… I was sick for 1 or 2 weeks, I was crushed by hw, dam ap math, I was on vacation. Twice. I was lazy. There's more but I forget. Second of all I thank everyone that waited patiently, some not, screw you guys, because I was VERY lazy. Most of teh time during the 3 month span I wasn't working on it at all. I spent the whole August, if I recall, not doing it. At all. I was ashamed of myself so I never logged on to msn, where Jon would say WHERE THE HECK IS PARTS 3 AND 4 DAMMIT. Somewhere along those lines. Most of all I thank Torley for giving me the inspiration to actually play piano, as I only started a few years ago. I remember struggling on the first few seconds on metal gear solid…Thx for the awesome medley Torley!!!!!!!!!!!
That's it pplz.
I'll be sitting on that piano playing on what Jon and I had worked so hard for.
OMG… THE JOURNEY…
yes I know, andy you lazy lazy person…
oh and the link is posted on http://torley.com/the-games-we-played-on-flash-flash-revolution, as well as on the http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/vbz/showthread.php?t=89757
Jonathanasdf: The contest was ages ago. I was placed third – not too shabby, but it wasn't very much of a competition. One judge, one opinion and one view of the piece.
I've almost finished PE-Demonfire, but I haven't been on to it lately. I will finish it by the time I get my camcorder, which will be very very soon.
Thanks everyone,
Destiny
Journey? O.O
Torley, you need to update that side note saying that the sheet music isn't done in that site where all the comments are and you need to post the sheet music where it says "I'll post the sheets prominently here when they're done. Also encouraging to see who else is anxious." It's been a couple days. >.>
Oh! I see you already did.
To think two 14 year olds made the transcription….
Hey Hey… I'm 15… ばかのアンヂィ トラン
@アンデイ トラン: I doth appreciate the reminder to update!
You young talents you!
so are we.
Hi Torley,
I have finished recording Zorsy's performance of The Games We Play Parts 4~5. Part 4 was a re-make from the previous video. That now completes the video uploads and performances for "The Games We Played".
Many thanks,
Destiny
Oh, excellent!!!! And thus, this cycle is complete.
It was a pretty big cycle.
Here I am, back in the school computer lab. DAMN ENGLISH IS THE MOST BORING CLASS EVER!!!!!
