Examine the concepts and building blocks of games and systems with us.

Wow. I think I just had the most random moment of my life.

I could swear that the music for PBS's "Legendary Lighthouses" is done by the same guy who did the music for most of the HOMM games. I MUST look this up.

And that, my friends, is my random thought.

Well, the main talent behind HOMM music (the earlier--and best--games) is Paul Anthony Romero.

Oops, looks like he did the music for all the HOMM games. I thought he just did them through III.

Well, whoever did the music for the first Legendary Lighthouses series (the one from 1998) was heavily influenced by his ending theme in HOMM2.

I need to get a life.

Or maybe the composer borroed music like alot of RAP remakes of 80s songs

Like the crappy "Broken wings" R&B version or like a newer pop song uses FF X-2 SONGSTRESS music sample x.x

I think Basil Poledarious (SP?) is one of the greatest movie composers

I'm sad I'll never meet him or see him in person :(
