TIM IT WAS JUST PICTIONARY
Your comment was viewed on Joel's stream lol
Megatron 8005 Which stream???
The one where he played Fallout Shelter.
Robert Sides At what point?
around 2:24:35 he talks about it for the first time. I'm basing that off of the timestamp for the stream. Not sure if it's there exactly on the YT upload.
When you’re overqualified for the job
When you're *god*
But still enjoy performing it anyway.
LOL
@@idontcheckmynotifications When you’re Tim Follin.

For those wondering, Geoff Follin, Brother of Tim Follin who occasionally helped him with music, Passed of Pancreatic cancer today. :<
Rest in peace.
rest in peace, Geoff
came back to relisten, very tragic. he composed silver surfer with tim i believe
According to some sources, on some games Geoff was the lead composer (including Plok)
Oh... Rest in peace Follin.
Rest in Peace to the Fallen Follin :(
Pictionary NES is less a game you play and more a music single on a cartridge
That’s just every Tim Follin composed game
an entire album you mean.
Hey, at least it's one of the better games with music by Tim Follin, right? It's at least functional. I've played it.
So a cassette?
I can't comprehend whatever this is even *meant* to mean
"I remember standing in the office thinking 'It's Pictionary. What does Pictionary sound like? It sounds kind of scribbly, doesn't it. What is that?" And I went round the houses for a while thinking "What on earth can I do for Pictionary?" and then just thought "I'll just write some music and see if it fits. Or rather, not see if it fits, just write some music and make it fit."
Tim Follin
Fucking legend.
Source or get turned into a walnut.
Is this a real quote?
Extraverted intuitive, right there!
I like that he was gonna base a song off scribbliness
Are you a bad enough dude to win at Pictionary?
Imma bad BOY
WITH TOUNGE?
hopefully!
I’m a naughty dude! Is that good enough, son!?
LMFAO
Tim Follin: "Video game music should be atmospheric, secondary to the play, and require no processing to listen to"
Also Tim Follin:
"And it should rock like a mutha"
Did he say ANY of those things?!
Hey, this is just the title music
And Geoff follin
Lewis Ford
That's true, but then he has to explain Silver Surfer Level 1, Treasure Master Level 2, and the entire Plok soundtrack.
this song is that friend who takes pictionary way too seriously
Oh shit, didn't know you are into Tim Follin too.
Jackel!
Jackel!
It's a jackel!
Jackel!
Is it a jackel?
It's a jackel!
Jackel!
It's a jackel!
Sounds like me. I hate playing board games but when I am forced to, I take winning seriously. Blood is spilt.
@@weepingkoopa2862 *jackal
@@weepingkoopa2862 IT WASN'T RIGHT THE FIRST TIME YOU SAID IT! WHY THE HELL WOULD IT BE RIGHT THE NEXT TEN TIMES?!
I'd like to think that Tim loved the shit out of Pictionary as a kid, so when he found out he was producing the music for the game he just went ape shit on the production of it.
That or he already had something made.
No, he was just itched to compose something awesome.
even if the game was shit
Or it's just Tim Follin being Tim Follin.
@@connormitchell7901 no
I'd imagine it was more like: Tim: "So, what kinda music do you want for the title screen?" Producer: "Whatever you want, doesn't matter". Tim: "Say no more, fam!"
Tim Follin albums always came with a free game inside, that was pretty nice of him.
@Logang
I've never seen a comment like mine but I wouldn't be surprised. I thought it was funny when I came up with it just now.
@Logang character arc
Tim Follin: "Ok, I finished this song you needed for the climactic space battle with the evil overlord to determine the fate of the universe at the end of the epic thousand year battle against....wait sorry, what?"
The board game.
As far as I know that's the plot of pictionary alright
Tim this isn't Silver Surfer!
@GrahfMetal there are two kinds of epic video games: games like Xenogears and games like Pictionary
@@taylordiclemente5163 I often liken the revelation of Id's true identity as the manifestation of Fei Fong Wong's trauma through the divine Contact set to a grand awakening by the mother of destruction to that time in Pictionary I found out that the crude 8-bit image of a BBQ was actually supposed to be a bumblebee
Epic!
Listening to Tim Follin's dedication to NES music, even for something as mundane as Pictionary, is like watching that one video of that crazy-good drummer dude in the oversized cat costume.
I KNOW OF WHOM YOU SPEAK and it tickles me in the most delightful of ways
If you're referring to Nyango Star, it's actually a drummer chick in there. But yes.
Omg this is the definition of the "same energy" meme. They must be related in some way lol
literally came here from that lol
i thought that was a pink avocado costume...
I'm still blown away that there's a fucking solo in this thing.
It's the startup screen for a pictionary game! And it has a solo!
and a fuckin sick one at that
On the NES too lol
Triangle Wave - TAKE IT AWAY!
holy shit why does this go so hard
Tim Follin always gave his 110% when making game music.
You said it, not just %100, he need that extra %10 to push the system capabilities
Larry Bundy Jr ooh God, you are here I cant belive it
wicked wicky wicky
Tim Follin has two speeds: On and Off.
Tim Follin is like the Michael Fasbender of music composers. He’s super talented but picks his games by throwing darts while drunk.
No, he just chooses the games that have developers that let him do whatever the heck he wants to compose.
You mean Christopher Lloyd?
Freddy Fasbender!
Apperently, he was only 19 when he made this soundtrack, and he said in an interview that he didn't really care how or where the song would actually fit, and that he just wanted to push the NES' sound bits to the limit.
I have an unbelievable amount of respect for him.
@@BotulinSpikedMarzipan the bender of '87
game director: "so we need some music for this throwaway pictionary g-" tim follin: "I GOT YOU FAM"
thank you lol
"tim.... have you ever played pictionary"
Say no more, fam
Pictionary as you didn't experience before.
FAM-icom?
This composer deserved a better game for this to be in.
Like a Plok 2 or something!
Like Just shapes and beats
Earthworm Jim NES?
He also made the music for Plok which is a masterpiece so your argument is invalid.
This accurately describes 90% or so of Tim Follin's career.
I swear to god, everything made by Tim Follin sounds like it's too complicated for the NES, as though there's way more instruments than normal. This man was a god and fuck why doesn't he make soundtracks any more.
Mostly because he got frustrated with the video game industry as a whole. Same as most talented people, actors are frustrated that they can't negotiate contracts in a clearer way for voice roles, programmers are tired of being exploited and thrown away, writers are tired of being subjected to harsh work conditions (like it happened in Talltale Games), etc.
Video game companies exploit their employees so much, that anyone who is talented has left the industry. And those who havent just start their own indie games development group.
Tim actually didn't have a background in music, so all of these tracks were him *winging it*. He just loved experimenting with tech. These days, he makes indie films.
@@LuckyBird551 This reminds me to Toby Fox
@@abdielr6965 Oh man could you imagine if Tim and Toby collaborated

its not good when the title screen is more fun than your game
That's Tim Filling for you. Amazing music, but it's always for terrible games
lol
@@PattyWagon69420 Plok: am i a joke to you?
Thank you Follin, for writing all this great music for these terrible games.

He's made music for several great games
Hey fuck you, Rock 'N' Roll racing was amazing.
silver surfer isn't that bad. solstice is amazing.
Plok wasn't bad.
That last "doot" at the end really cements the track for me
Same here!
Tim: "I originally wrote this for the dance-off at the end of Solstice, but they cut that scene so here it is in Pictionary."
I can already hear the developers in the background like:
Devs: "Tim hows it going, WAIT TIM NO STOP, ITS ONLY PICTIONARY"
Tim: *Headphones on typing rapidly*
Devs: "TIM ITS JUST PICTIONARY ITS JUST PICTIONARYYYYY"
Tim: then the kids will get the best pictionary game ever, just leave me to it
lol
r/yourjokebutworse
There's obviously no room for Bass frequencies, but the detail here making you perceive it is emulating the sub-harmonic freq you get when you pick at or slap a string on a Bass guitar. That's pure genius.
It's just the triangle channel being used extremely effectively while also doing half of the snare sound
The triangle channel is used for the bass frequencies, however, the NES only has an approximation of triangle waves, which creates high pitched noise on the notes, being more noticeable the lower the frequency.
"soo...What is it a bird"
"YOU FOOL, I DREW THE ONLY TRUE DARK ONE, DESTROYER OF WORLDS. AND SO YOUR TIME IS UP, I WIN THIS BATTLE BUT YOU MAY STILL HAVE A CHANCE, PICK A CARD MORTAL"
...so is it a fish?
Hm, definitely an ant
my uncle's deck has no pathetic cards
Hm looks more like a hedgehog to me
These words reminded me of BONUS STAGE
This is way better than it needs to be
I'm going to draw the HELL out of those words!!
Jeez Tim we're playing pictionary not saving the world
Super Beanis *_Stolin from Jorbles, Repoted_*
Justin Harris fuck you caught me
*YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER*
DRAW FOR YOUR LIIIIIIIIFEEEE
Joke's on you, this music is exactly how gearing up to play Pictionary with your friends feels.
Not the way I play it
WHO TOLD HIM TO GO THIS HARD? ITS PICTIONARY
Tim: "Alright! Just finished this ABSOLUTELY SICK theme song for...what's this game again?"
Programmer: "Pictionary."
Tim: "PICTIONARY? LJN needs to start paying me more."
Programmer: "You're getting paid?"
Tim: :)
Devs: Hoe don't do it
Tim: *makes one of the most epic pieces of video game music for Pictionary*
Devs: oh my god
instead of smash bros melee at evo it should be motherfucking pictionary on the nes
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHERE THIS SONG HAS COME FROM THIS ENTIRE TIME.
Wow. Really mind-blowing.
"It's just a video game adaptation of Pictionary, you don't need to go all in"
Tim Follin:
It's always so cool to me when a composer goes hard on the music for a game even if it's a just a simple licensed game. The only problem is that the music sometimes gets forgotten with the game itself which is why I'm so glad that music like this can have a second chance on the internet!
Tim is a virtuoso with this stuff.
@@nirv indeed
This song is way too good for a board game video game!!!
That's Tim Follin for ya!
Why. Do. I. See. You. Everywhere.
hello you
Larry Bundy Jr the only good thing about LJN, unless you happen to like some of their infamous monstrosities, as does Cygnus Destroyer (of LJN Defender fame)
Larry is everywhere
This has to be the only NES track that emulates sidechained compression.
teckworks draw more percy :v
Steven Vascellaro sidechained compression is basically lowering the gain/volumen of certain instruments in the exact same time the the kick or snare comes in. Take a listen to the snare, notice that the rest of the instruments lower their presence everytime it hits?
I think that might actually be a side effect of the triangle channel pulling double duty. The kick and snare use both the noise and triangle channel to make the drums sound a little beefier, which means that the bassline has to be cut off for a couple of frames. This is a trick that Follin and several other NES composers like to pull a lot, because it takes less cartridge space than sampled drums, which was also a pretty popular technique
TehPogo, exactly.
dat Ankha icon. >.>
I once used this song in a trailer for a documentary I did at a talent show. Said trailer got a standing ovation.
In regard to the actual documentary, some criticized my use of video game music early on. When said documentary released and the music was used to great effect, they changed their tune!
THAT’s why you should always believe in the power of video game music!
It is not video game music, it is Tim Follin's music.
@@niceanddestroyed Indeed. Tim Follin's music is always fantastic.
I didn’t know the NES sound chip was even capable of this holy shit
When someone not only understood the assignment, they also wrote a thesis on it.
F for Geoff Follin. Rest in peace you absolute legend.
Did they do something wrong? Did they mix the files of music for this game with another one? How the fuck does this have such a dazzlingly good theme?
Tim Follin loved to make his amazing music for shitty obscure games
If Tim Follin's making the music, you'd better believe he's going to go all out, no matter what game it's for!
Tim Follin would write music to challenge himself at what he could do with the nes sound card. He'd write music to be good, and sometimes wouldn't care about the context of what game it was as long as the music was good. Hence why all of his work sounds both ill fitting and WAY TO GOOD for whatever game it's attached too
Holy shit this goes hard as fuck.
man I love this comments section
2 years later and this comment is still true
Its just TIM, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
Board game night at the Follin house must have been nuts.
Why does a pictionary game have such jaming music
+versace Because a Follin fucking touched it.
Sorry, didn't see your comment. But clearly you win and I shouldn't even be playing in the same league as you.
+WarpWorld7 It got Follin-fondled?
Imagine going to your friend's house and hearing this as you walk in. You think you're about to play the best game ever but it's fucking Pictionary.
Pictionary in the 80’s wasn’t the drawing charades that you’re used to today. No...
Cage fighting. Men in suits of spiked armor bashing the skulls of the weak in gladiatorial combat. It was similar to Mad Max if men grew too strong for simple vehicles. They were powerhouses of rage, and none stronger than Pictius. The one two strong to comprehend, only known through guesses.
This would have been the box art, had the game come out on Atari 2600.
@@3dmarthNice jab at the Atari box art..

Him: Tim Follin's Pictionary OST
It's a miracle Tim wasn't responsible for any NES's catching on fire
PICTIONARY IS SO FUCKING HYPE
Hard to believe an NES can even produce these sounds. Genius composition.
Tim Follin carefully crafting the best music on the NES for games that almost nobody actually cared about:
TIM, IT WAS JUST PICTIONARY YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THIS HARD
when you snort a line and someone asks if you want to play Pictionary
This should be in Smash
Slip of paper as a smash fighter
imagine Plok as a fighter, with various Tim Follin music included. This track would be in that.
HOLY SHIT PICTIONARY SOUNDS FUCKING RAD
I love how this game does not only have an out of place awesome soundtrack but also tries to take jokes on you. If you put "A" as your team name the game changes it to "The Emptyheads", and if you put "asmkdasmdkl" (for example) in the answer entry after the minigame, the game will tell you "not even a guess!". If you actually manage to win (cuz the game is, most of the times, hard as balls) the game will say "you've played before!".
Holy shit this game is actually pretty good.
Yeah! And it will also if you type obscene words the game will automatically erase them, and, as you can choose teams up to 4, if you leave their names empty they will not only become "The Emptyheads", but also "Potato Brains", "The No Names" and "The Other Ones", in that order
Whew

Wait, what. Why "MOTH"?

Thanks for blessing and enlightening me with this master piece Alex Meyers. Anyone here from the Alex Sky high video? 😂
I am.
I'm too
...What is this? WHAT? WHY IS IT SO FREAKIN GOOD?!
Welcome to Tim Follin, genius of NES, commodore 64 and amiga sound cards.
A normal reaction when you hear Follin's music in some random shitty game. All his music is amazing, but he was quite unlucky with what games he appeared in.
***** The games dedicated a lot of their leftover funding to music I suppose, when they were satisfied.
TIM FUCKING FOLLIN SON THATS HOW
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FUCKING PICTIONARY
Tim Follin stopped making music because there was a risk of universe splitting in half from his epic jams
8 bits could only limit his power for a while
Even Tim can make Pictionary sound like the most epic thing ever.
You know damn well Tim is out there somewhere being a menace rn
ARE YOU READY TO PLAY PICTIONARY AND SAVE THE PRESIDENT FROM THE EVIL PICTIONARY WIZARD!?

yes im here from nitro rad, yes this is one of the best video game bangers ive heard, yes im going to go play plok now. have a good day everyone.
Tim only ever worked for games that didn't try to restrict his creative direction, which ended up excluding him from working for any major studios.
Source? His Wikipedia page says differently - it doesn't mention him rejecting offers or not pursuing certain games at all, in fact he was desperate for solid work when freelancing that wouldn't cancel the game on him before release and cited joy in leaving that environment. He actually says he thinks his creation of soundtracks that "didn't fit the game" was because he often was asked to write them during very early stages when he didn't have lots of notes on how it should be, and he believes that this nature of his music actually cost him and prevented him from getting offers which he desired. Also, he worked several games from studios that owned the rights to Batman, Gauntlet, Bubble Bobble, and more...
Its amazing to hear that the NES was capable of such music
Software Creations: okay Tim, this is a video game adaptation of a board game no one likes. you don't need to put too much into this OST.
Tim, vibrating intensely: ok
How does one “Vibrate intensely” it sounds so funny
v i b r a t i n g i n t e n s e l y
the lowercase "ok" is how you KNOW hes gonna put too much into the ost
@@fog8008Probably pulsating with energy that struggles to be contained in a mere human vessel
WOW! This intro has no right to be as hype as it is...
I come here every so often to be reminded of this ABSOLUTE FUCKING BANGER
Tim Follin saw what other people were doing with the NES soundchip and said, "Ha! You were destined for so much more, child! I will make the world see your full potential!"
...Too bad it was wasted on such obscure NES games...
i wanna hear smooth mcgroove acapella this
+1
Me want
I added this to my playlist of songs I'd like him to cover one day.
The beauty of tim Rollin music is what he was able to do with the different sound fonts and voices on the nes's sound chip. While this price still. While it Is respectable as a stand alone song from a strictly musical point of view, Having it done on a real voice or instrument. would, oddly enough, take the soul of the song away
It's follin not rollin.

Who would have though I would be Jamming to pictionary in 2 in the morning
I guess I'm also having a 2AM Pictionary jam
Pictionary had no business having a banger like this
tim follin back at it again with his genius
tim would be the type of lad to compose a ringtone that only uses the phone's vibration motor
Can't believe the same person who made this went on to create a popular indie-horror game
SERIOUSLY THOUGH I’VE LOVED AT DEAD OF NIGHT EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT AND THEN LIKE A MONTH AGO I GOT INTO TIM FOLLIN AND LITERALLY FOUND OUT YESTERDAY THAT HE WAS INVOLVED WITH THAT GAME TOO.
In a universe where Pictionary is the biggest Game Show in America during the 80s and 90s
Holy shit! I feel like punching words! Pictionary must be an awesome game!
Tim Follin misunderstood the assignment, but got an A anyways
He did what he was supposed to do: Make the title screen theme to Pictionary on the NES. No one said he couldn't bring out his true power.
Game devs: We need music for a game that is usually played with paper and pencil.
Tim Follin, high on every drug: Epic music, got it.
*Never knew a board game could have such kick ass music*
holy shit i always thought this track was done on like famitracker in 2010 or something... ur telling me this is made on authentic nes hardware???? tim follin is a genius
When video game music wasn't considered to be good music, Tim Follin came up to them put his foot on their faces and said screw you I've played Pictionary.
The fact that the NES Pictionary soundtrack goes harder than any of the Mega Man games on the same system is bizarre. Tim Folin, you brilliant madman.
Game Directors: Okay Tim, you are composing the menu theme for a board game on the NES, no need to go all out.
Tim Follin:
I swear, Tim Follin did magic with the NES chip. I can't think of any other soundtrack with such a full sound.
Other Follin OSTs lol. Listen to Solstice, Treasure Master, Terminator 2, Wolverine, the list goes on
