Hello my dudes, I\u2019m Frank Hernandez\u2014WTBU DJ, COM Ambassador, and a guy just trying his best! Today I\u2019d like to share with you guys a story about one of my favorite hobbies: video games. Man, how I love my video games! They\u2019ve been with me ever since I was a little kid. As a matter of fact, my earliest memory is me sitting in the living room playing GameCube with my dad! Ah\u2026 Now those were the good times\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But, here\u2019s the thing. Ever since I came to BU, video games and I have taken a long and uncertain break. We felt like the long distance thing wasn\u2019t going to work out&#8230; They\u2019re back home, I\u2019m in Boston, we just thought a break would be beneficial to both of us. However, that doesn\u2019t mean I don\u2019t think about them every single day. I always find myself humming the songs to my favorite games, especially between classes.<\/p>\n<p>One day while walking down Commonwealth Avenue, I remembered this one song from my favorite game growing up: Super Mario Sunshine. I was immediately filled with nostalgia, so I searched the song on YouTube, put on my headphones, and tapped on the first result. The childhood memories came rushing in as the classic Mario tune began ringing in my ears. But suddenly, the song changed on me. What was once a classic Mario song turned into something completely different. It wasn\u2019t Mario anymore\u2026 It was All-Star by Smash Mouth. Now, to be completely honest, I unironically love All-Star so the music change wasn\u2019t unwelcome. However, I know for a fact that All-Star definitely wasn\u2019t in Super Mario Sunshine, so what was I listening to?<\/p>\n<p>What I was listening to at that moment was a SiIvaGunner rip. SiIvaGunner is a YouTube channel that uploads video game mashups with the pretense of being the actual song that plays in the game. He does this so that unassuming people that want to hear the actual song get a pleasant (and sometimes not so pleasant) surprise. His work is amazing and I recommend that everybody that likes video game music (or just music in general!) give his channel a quick listen!<\/p>\n<p>To get you started, I\u2019ll leave you with 5 of my favorite SiIvaGunner tracks! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!<\/p>\n<p>1.
