This thread.

I played Portal, and Yahtzee's review gave me a name. Logged onto Youtube, watched 'Code Monkey', and never looked back.

Portal's "Still Alive".

Same for me.
If it hadn't been for that, I would have no clue.

I had no idea he wrote WoW music though, might be worth a look.

 

[The_Echo]

I can't say I've ever heard that name before

 

[ace_of_something]

A friend of mine had one of his CD's and played it while we were on a road trip

You are making the assumption that we care know about Jonathan Coulton.
That's where you're wrong.

Indeed he is.

 

[PhantomCritic]

Well seeing that I haven't heard of him until now, I would say by this thread.

EDIT: After a touch of googling he turns out to be a songwriter/singer for video games, awesomeness.

 

[The_Prophet]

Well, Portal?

 

[Arrers]

I'd have no clue who he is, but how did everyone elce get to know of his work???

Simply put, they didn't.

Allow me to demonstrate: Who the fuck is John Galt Jonathan Coulton?

Don't you lot know anything about songs in games?

Geez, People are going to say they havn't heard of Jim Noir. or The Go! Team XD.

I'm just a tad confused how Jonathan has gotten to such a highly regarded state, now don't get me wrong I love him and I love his work but the only way I got to know who he is is through little World of Warcraft music videos, and the only reason I watched them was because I used to be a MASSIVE World of Warcrack head and if it wasn't for that then I'd have no clue who he is, but how did everyone elce get to know of his work???

[Edit] He's the guy that wrote "still alive" for people that don't know.

You talking about him.

I first heard about him from "Still Alive" but I really like "Skullcrusher Mountain" and "The Future Soon."

 

[EgoDeusEst]

Still Alive is a fairly poor song, Its only made of win (in other peoples opinion) because of the reference (Glados). I dont find it funny at all.

I knew his work. Thats about it.

This.

I only remembered the guys name because it's in the thread title.

 

[Incredible Bullshitting Man]

Through an AMV, featuring Coulton´s Code Monkey, a friend of mine showed me. I liked the song, but didn´t really get into his other stuff. After I learned, Coulton is the one who composed Still Alive, I got more interested, and decided to give him another shot. Now I actually like some of his work.

One night, browsing youtube for possible 28 months later teasers I'd heard rumours of, and stumbled upon RE; your brains.
