Hadley: (via [early commentary collection](https://hsmusic.wiki/media/misc/commentary-collection.txt)) When Andrew asked us to do something for a shock and surprise for the upcoming reveal of John's Dad's room, this is what I came up with. I slipped some Harlequin in there for good measure. The original version was exactly as it appears in the comic (complete with the record scratch at the end), and I lengthened it for the soundtrack since it was so very, very short. Somehow it came out creepier in that version. --- @@ -174,7 +174,7 @@ MIDI Project Files: Files: - 'Carefree Victory - Twix Stix.mid' Commentary: |- - Andrew Huo: + Andrew Huo: (via [early commentary collection](https://hsmusic.wiki/media/misc/commentary-collection.txt)) Carefree Victory is really Hadley's baby, and I would feel like I'm plagiarizing to really call it my own.

The only thing I can really remember was that Super Smash Bros Brawl came out right before I finished it. The original loop (which is not the one specifically heard in the comic, but was included in the album release) was directly inspired by music from Cave Story, and I was trying to at the time musically embody how I felt at the time, I think. Though it never seems to come out exactly as I plan it, I enjoyed the results. I will say that I cannot truly believe how many people have remixed it. + [(dead image embed)](https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://buzinkai.net/doctor.png) + The arpeggio part at the end goes between the left, both, and right speakers sequentially. I was too lazy to set the channel settings manually, so I did each note on a different instrument, which is set to each speaker channel. Not many people know that, and I think it actually made it a living hell for remixers who got a hold of the original file.
