I want a hug too! /has a history of screaming things out hours and days after certain things happen. Literally. Not joking. You should've been there. You would've shit your pants.

I got over this and was rewarded with a surprisingly fun Star Fox Assault.

So how's everyone doing here? Did we actually accomplish some of the things we set out to do, or are we using this thread to whine about how busy we are? I've done a few of them so far.

Ok, so here's another one I'm working with. I'm going for a very angelic, celestial ambience, but I must admit I really don't know what I'm doing here. The song is mostly lead by a couple of piano lines in D Minor, extremely repetitiously, then A Minor, then back to D Minor. Its still a WIP, but I feel its mostly finished. I'd just an example of what I'm going for here. I have Aphrodite Oceanus, but I know there's more, I just can't find it, and I'd like to so I can get this song working right. http://www.zshare.net/audio/58207144786d4910/

Pownce wasn't closed at the time.

Good point. However, unless you mean Hardcore Balanced, I don't know if it works.

Hardcore anything is a waste of precious life.

I respect that, but its not a simple request when someone with very limited music technology skills is asking for help on how to do a video game soundtrack, almost the very definition of electronic music technology (if not that, then the poster child). Since we don't know anything about what his skill level is, the project required, or much of anything really, I don't think its respectless to ask how he got the job at all because we don't even know what kind of skill there is to respect. I myself am getting acid flashbacks to when I started out in music. God help us all..... I guess its somewhat hypocritical for me to criticize considering how often I need help with EVERYTHING all the time, but I had to wait years before someone could just lay it out straight for me and give me an idea of what video game music is about. We're telling it to this guy like it is and hopefully saving him a bunch of time from creating false positives. Where the hell did he go, btw?

The world's neediest man returns for another question regarding a complication for a service he did not think was going to be as complex as it is. I got AVIs. I want to watch them on my DVD player. Nero 6 only burns .nob, .ifo and .bup. I got VirtualDubMod 1.5.10 etc. and the required DIVX version, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do from there. I've looked through software and I can't say I can find anything fully trustworthy. I run XP. So here I go, begging the internet to help me again. How do I do this? Thanks.

And how are you going to get that job done? What instrument, knowledge, etc do you have? How long have you been playing? Have you written music before and what kind? None of this is supposed to tear you down. Lord knows I'm in no position to judge the music of others, but getting more specific could quickly help satisfy a more specific series of solutions to help you get the job done.

Course, you could hire someone to take care of the engineering for you. It is damn near impossible to engineer and process sound very well without good equipment and quite a bit of know-how. If you are limited with music technology, you're better off hiring someone to do it for you.

I better question that, while condescending, would give us better insight to better help you is how a musician with little, if any, music technology skills got hired to do a video game soundtrack.

I win 200 points for guessing it first, the first time through.

In all fairness, when has combat ever been something people wait and wish for for each new Silent Hill? If Silent Hill 4 wasn't just AAA quality psychofuck, I would have wiped my ass with that game and called it good.

Thank you for designing a forum that attracts the sort of people who would extend it.

That Pastor Ed retired, Eulogic, you little pubic hair on the crabbatious swollen vagina of the world.

Star Fox. Scrambling.

Why does everyone bash on GamePro?

Thank you, nameless bot, but its that kind of lax in judgment that gets credit cards stolen and desktops hijacked. It really happens and its horrible and no one should have to go through it because it activates on 4/1.

Isn't there a Sale/Want thread somewhere around here? Anyway, just PS2 games? You know I've got a bunch of stuff I'm wanting out of my house that a PS2 will play and I don't mind making a deal with you since you helped me out consistantly over the last month or so.

No shit. Well, its April Fools Day, has anything/anyone crashed yet? Is Google still Google?

Assuming this virus is the real deal, unhooking it won't do any good if its already on there. It'll just wait until you sign on again.

I certainly am not trying to come off Alarmist, I'm just saying, from the $730 new expense I call a computer after a virus ate my other one, that you have every reason in the world to be cautious about virus/hacker shit. I spent nearly $1,000 to get this computer I bought from The Prophet of Mephisto up and running (which I love, thanks once again) and while I had the money for it, I don't think a lot of other people in this economy will.

THOUSANDS? It could be MILLIONS. Additionally, you might as well ask anyone why they get a thrill out of mortal sin. Someone does, for some reason, and thats why they do it. Additionally, when is this virus supposed to activate? I know April 1st but..... its already April 1st in some parts of the world already.... Oh shit, it could be any minute now...

I think it was interesting when Charles Gibson called it the Conflicker Virus, not Conficker (which is German portmaneau for Configure Fuck or Confucker, Confuckure or whatever). Anyway, we're fucked. It could be an awesome April Fool's joke, but c'mon, this is reality. I have to buy another computer from Brad now. We all will. Some little Russian 14-year-old fuck is going to claim lots of money and hold a lot of people for blackmail by implanting child porn on our computers, taking pictures of our desktops, demanding millions, and turning us in anyway. This nation is going to go even further into bankruptcy. Our government systems will fail. Lots and LOTS of people will be international sex offenders and have their penises hacked off or vaginas sewn up with piano wire. We will be completely defenseless when the Taliban see their opportunity to strike us and by the time our corn fields become state-wide conflagrations of blood and rape shrapnel, they will join us in unholy massacre as the Russians, the bastards who got us into this, will finally have the chance to nuke us once and for all. On the plus side, we'll get a kick-ass Alan Moore graphic novel out of it.
