[description]


This is a recreation of a junior high school fad that was popular in the US in the late 1970's to the early 1980's.


Students would use boomboxes or tape recorders to record themselves asking a question, then they would wait for the song they wanted to play on the radio, and record piece of the song at just the right moment.


Then they'd take the tape to school and pass it along to someone else, where they would take it home, listen to it, then add their own onto it.


Listen to some, and then submit your own creation to the database


note: new submissions are now closed, see you all in SingScar 2!

olskoo responds:

thanks hoss

this game is weird and i love it haha

it says this video is unavailable

olskoo responds:

like.. on every singscar? I gotta see this

Huh, can't say I recall the fad this is referencing, but if I were to have my own take on it, it's kinda like an alternative YTMND-generator, but whereas YTMND combined a background picture with text and looping sound/music (and eventually transformed to utilize gifs), this combines a spoken prompt/caption with a youtube clip. It's like Mario Maker but for memes or youtube poops or shitposts or whatever kids call it nowadays, haha.

Certainly an interesting and clever little thing once you get used to it, in a way, but I gotta say that my first impression was that it was incredibly ugly, obtuse, and confusing: for example, the font used for the menus is all grainy and distorted, the overall colors and presentation is garish, there are no good developer-made SingScar examples to draw from and you can end up watching user-made ones that aren't created well which gives you a bad/wrong impression of how SingScars are supposed to be made, and the tutorial isn't voiced and takes way too long. If the presentation and instructions were cleared up for people and made more intuitive, as well as some other features could be added like being able to search for certain SingScars your friends have made or whatever, I think this could actually be quite addictive and fun to share jokes around with!

haha, pretty nice coding on that. although it keeps buffering the video which is kidna annoying

olskoo responds:

Thanks! I think we fixed that buffering now.

Scout-from-tfc responds:
