Even if the canonicity of wether or not he’s a War Veteran is still on the fence, I like to imagine Peppino blasts this whenever he needs to get a good workout in.

I like the conclusion that, even if Pep isn't a "war veteran"... after that level, he is most certainly a "WAR" veteran.

[@zedc6072]

its canon to me because its really funny

[@MarkoIronFist]

According to the drunk side of devs, he is not a war veteran and just got lucky when shooting the gun. According to the sober side of devs, he is a war veteran and relied on skill to shoot a gun. Is he really a veteran or is the sober dev just making up the veteran story to appease the fans and the drunk dev is too drunk to care about appeasing fans and speaks the truth? Or does the drunk dev have a disconnected sense of reason and is just spitting nonsense and the rational sober dev can think enough to tell the truth? What is the reality behind the mysterious Peppino Spagetti?

He kinda starts it in phase 2 of Unexpectancy

[@Fiddl3head]

War is one of those levels that genuinely feels like it's going beyond its' own games' boundaries to deliver an experience that'll always stick with you. One of the most memorable sudden tone shifts in any game I've played. A masterful cover of an already brilliant song. I also really love the video being more somber as opposed to the much more goofy previous ones.

[@MrMoron-qn5rx]

I was already spoiled about war I did not expect fnaf though.

[@danitron8317]

I love the fact that the whole game everything revolves around pizza, and then when you get to WAR, it drops the pizza theme completely. There os no pizza pun, just WAR

[@Mate_Antal_Zoltan]

I knew about all the 5th floor levels, but they were all amazing to experience as I played them. I also knew that you get a camo pattern for beating WAR the first time, so I had that added pressure on top of running past landmines and soldiers. I did manage to beat it first try on my first save, by the way. It was Hell.

@@danitron8317the camouflage enemies are pizza slices and the tanks shoot out pizza though

[@demitrischoenwald1436]

Towards the end you can hear some of the start of Unexpectancy. I think that leitmotif might represent Peppino and his rage, that never went away even when he was most scared within the tower. Sure, he's anxious, and sure, he might be a war veteran, but he's so angry that in battle and in war, it will always echo in all he does to keep his life together.

[@bugworrall]

WAR's adrenaline and terror combined with Carpenter Brut's probably-in-the-name brutality, all mixed together with tremendous guitar play and instrumentation. Richaad, I gotta say, this is one of your best works yet and really makes me hope Pizza Tower music mods'll one day be a thing. Absolutely jaw-dropping quality here, very well done!

[@rocksocar]

You saying that has made me realize that Carpenter Brut sometimes feels like an alternate universe Justice that slammed 2x as hard on the metal and I don't quite know how to feel about that information.

This track is perfect because it’s just like war; if you don’t really understand it looks badass or whatever but when you’re old enough you understand that it’s a tragedy of crushing scale. This is a beautiful elegy for all of the meaningless suffering of war. And side note the guitar sounds like it’s crying at points

[@MilleMarteaux]

the background footage on all of these is so good. you could have just put a visualizer graph for b-roll footage and been fine, but you consistently go so far above and beyond what's needed. absolutely sublime.

YES THE ALARM’S HERE! The percussion for this is absolutely incredible, same for the choreography! Between the recipes and slick editing, these covers feel like mini-movies paying tribute to Pizza Tower’s vibe as a whole- it’s such a treat to behold. And yeah this hits harder than ten semi trucks on fentanyl and expired Fun Dip but you knew that already.

[@Code_String]

Holy shit, this is good. And I thought that the original soundtrack already slapped hard. I've been listening to this a few couple of times with how addictive it is. The visual work though, it manages to both be funny with the whole theme behind Pizza Tower while also fitting this sort of PTSD experience. The sudden stops, the cold blank emotions, the uncomfortable breaks, the visible denial. The vision of seeing one self's memory of past events meeting together with normalcy, wanting to escape and break free from the trauma. I know the whole War Veteran thing was said to not be a thing with the character, but this whole video makes justice to that idea to such length and degrees, no words can describe how this nails it. One of the more subtle details that I love once I picked it up was the "Please Stand By" Test Screen. While signifying that there could be tests to the fed broadcast, the fact that the scene of the bedroom is so dark also imply it being nighttime. In a way this manage to reinforce the PTSD approach because of the fact those would stay on the broadcast between 11PM-6AM. Intentional or not, this detail give the impression of watching's one mind lost in their traumatic memories while staring at what could be considered blank/void, an uncomfortable loneliness that only the one traumatized can see and process. Keep at it with your work. I've listened and watched your work before, but holy shit this one.

[@dashadyred4681]

i love how they throw in a little bit of unexpectency phase 1 in there

[@JohnnyDeere]

I feel like the original captures the PTSD and horrific aspect of war whilst Richard's cover captures the cool and victorious adventure part of war. The original is how war veterans see and feel about war after they come back from it This version is how most people view war when they've never been in it.

[@charexgaming884]

I think it plays really well into the addition of the unexpectanxy motifs as well. War is usually the last level before pizza face you can do, and it really does feel like the song is saying "you've made it this far, this is all thats standing between you and the end"
