  1. That would be the extremely obvious action to take. Problem is I haven't heard back from any of the direct messages I've sent him here or on Facebook in 6 months. My gut tells me it's one of those things I'd have to see if they decide to designate me on it based on the interest I'm expressing here for something like that to work, as opposed to me bugging them privately to be put on it.

    So we'll just need to wait and see for now.

  2. Very good. I don't really know what the process of transferring directorship is, though. I think that designation needs to come down from the top brass, and then after that I have to be given all the relevant files and content that's been generated by whoever has it. I'm up for it (I think), but someone from above has to authorize me for it and green the light.

  3. 31 minutes ago, Gario said:

    I wonder if the console will be mod-able, like the NES classic and SNES classic are.

    It'd probably be easier to mod a PSP to do that. That thing is the best PS1 emulator ever made, you can get one cheap and it's relatively easy to mod.

    I likely won't have a need for a PS Classic, but my mind could easily change under the right circumcisions.

  4. Talking about success and how to get successful still falls in line and relevance with why one remixes or not. So many trai... err, former remixers who no longer come here do so because their remixing skillz now pay billz, while others still look to find out how to become successful with their own remixes. Both of those things would easily answer why someone would or would not choose to continue remixing.

     

  5. I refuse to believe professionally made "budget" libraries suck, especially since musicians are more than well known for being zealous about sound quality, since the chaotic nature of composing, arranging and producing eventually mandates that songs will require "that" kind of sound that could be anywhere in anything. I routinely have to deny top-quality samples and instruments in the tracks I'm working on simply because they don't work or flow inside the track I'm working on - this is why I still keep almost ALL the extremely outdated soundfonts and VSTs I had before I got good at this. Sometimes I still need a shitty flute or violin or choir AH sample because that's what turned out to fit the spot I needed filled in.

    Funny Yoozer mentioned the ancient Roland orchestral card. A few months ago I bought the Roland SRX-06 card so I could have access to the Final Fantasy Tactics and Zelda 64 sounds as needed for my ambitions.

  6. Still great it comes with games most folks haven't had the chance to play, but it also sucks they can't re-release their Punisher, Aliens VS Predator, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs or Dungeons and Dragons brawlers for licensing anymore. I also expected they'd re-release their Final Fight sequels, but no dice on that.

  7. I am so jealous of Switch owners right now that I can feel my armpits turning green with envy. They will rot, fall off, and disconnect my arms along with them.

    Curse you CAPCOM! I will spend the remaining days of my blighted life in constant prayer for the abyss to rise up from the putrid bowels of hell to take you screaming into the devil's nadir! A pox to your exclusive releases! Nay, a miasma!

  8. Hold on to your taints, folks, or it will explode with excitement like mine did when I discovered this:


    Holy unshaven eyeballs, does this game look crazy awesome! This is exactly what I hoped to see in the future of gaming from my heyday in the 90s. I can't wait for this to come out and you shouldn't either! Come join me in his vanguard to launch an attack on the programmers and force them to finish it immediately!*

    * - No, not really, just hyperbole out of excitement.

  9. I still have plans to remix singles - my reason for not doing nearly as much as I could have is I've largely said I wouldn't do any more until the SD3 project got released so it didn't look like I was not committed to the project (yeah, hindsight) and then by the time it got to be where I felt like that no longer applied, I got entangled in a brand new long-lasting web of indie game work that keeps me super busy to date.

    Thankfully, my experience and skill and tools have REALLY improved in that time period and I'm just busting at the seams to do some new remix work, but now I don't have the time and opportunities I would like. Ever hear a composer complain about having too much paying work? Well, I don't want to do THAT lest you sumbitches respond wanting to take my jobs, but the bottom line is its 5:20AM, I'm still up working and yes, I'd love to still be doing remixes of other game music right now. :P
