Mr. Period (1824):
I got some real nostalgia here because I was very active on b3ta at around this time. I even went to one or two b3ta meetups and met Weebl and loads of others.
So I guess if it’s 20 years since Badgers, it’s about 20 years since my first viral internet thing, which broke my website at the time. Turns out, yeah:
July 2003! What a weird time for the internet.
Saw this and now all I kinda want is animated versions of the MCU movies animated in “origins” styles lol
DJ Phonetic. Hyperactive, but with historical figures instead of Lasse Gjertsen.
Shout out to Tunic, still the best most recent game I’ve played?
Once you realize what the deal is with the manual, got damn.

“In the Hall of the Mountain King” was one of the first movie leitmotifs.
“In the Hall of the Mountain King” plays a major plot point in Fritz Lang’s early sound film M (1931). Peter Lorre’s character of child killer Hans Beckert whistles the tune whenever he is overcome with the urge to commit murder. However, Lorre himself could not whistle – it is actually Lang who is heard. The film was one of the first to use a leitmotif, associating “In the Hall of the Mountain King” with the Lorre character. Later in the film, the mere sound of the song lets the audience know that he is nearby, off-screen. This association of a musical theme with a particular character or situation, a technique borrowed from opera, became a staple in film.
