Beat Hazard/Awesome


 * For this troper, any time I finish making a gameplay video. Why? For them I play on the hardest difficulty and restart if I lose a life (so the final video is a No Damage Run). I tend to go into a bit of a rage, so doing so (especially on long, difficult songs) is a long, painful process.
 * This troper has Plato's "The Republic" on tape. There is little as epic as finally beating a massive boss with the power of a speech about the way money corrupts the upper class. Naturally, since the level of sound varys wildly, even surviving it was impressive.
 * For this troper, finally beating "Dancing Mad" by the Black Mages on insane. The song varies wildly between how much is going on (including silent sections), ended up with a grand total of 9 bosses over the course of the twelve minutes, and ends with a rocking guitar piece.
 * Beating Remiyax v4 on Insane. Remiyax is a remix of the famous Fate Stay Night theme Emiya (Archer's theme). Except the composer thought that just one remix was unworthy of Archer and turned it into Unlimited Song Work, shoving nearly every single Emiya remix into a massive, massive song ( over 55 minutes!!). It varies quickly from silent to electric guitars to drums to vocals to chants, and the pressure that if you screw up just one more time will set you back nearly an hour is almost deadly. "I am the bone of my score"...
 * To a lesser degree, getting a boss WARNING sign popping up right as the ☢ CAUTION ☢ alarm blares in Nuclear Fusion. Utusho In Space!
