  1. Backronym, actually. Bump was just a word first, then people decided to turn it into an acronym. And you can make it recursive too, as Bump Up My Post.
  2. I tend to change between tracks from time to time. Plenty of space available on my cellphone for full MP3s, and it supports them well. Still need the DAAAAAAAAAAAAH from Rayman Raving Rabbids though.

    Yep, Europe gets it today, the US gets it monday.

    Picked up Wario Ware today. It's good stuff, and the form intros are hilarious because of the voice used to introduce them, and the text he's saying. Overall style of the game is pretty similar to the previous Wario Ware titles, which is good.
  5. The DOL-001 model has the digital out on the back, and has the nice hidden feature of allowing you to swap faceplates, while the DOL-101 doesn't have a digital out and the faceplate is fixed. The DOL-101 wasn't released until a few years into the GC's lifetime though, and is normally the version you find in bundles, while units sold separately have a habit of being DOL-001. Quickest way to check is just checking the back of your GC for a digital out, or the bottom for the model number.
  6. Alternatively, there's an option to check all the messages and mark them as read. Quite a bit faster if you've got 140 messages in your inbox.
  7. Uhm, you can't link to images stored on your own computer. You have to upload them to a website such as imageshack in order to let other people view them. In response to the topic starter: Your best bet would be seeking out a good tattoo artist that works in the style you want, and ask them for help making a design. There's a lot of work that would have to be done on that image depending on how you want it, and it'll be costly to get done at a size where the details remain(Not to mention the shading and color work, if you want it in color) It would also help if you indicate where you want it. Make sure to check the artist's portfolio beforehand, so you know you're getting something nice. It'll be on there permanently, so don't go cheap on it.

    VC, not VNC. Although I'd like a VNC client on the Wii. Would be fun to manage one of my servers that way.
  9. You can ask all your FL-related questions here: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=12 Although Fruity Loops doesn't support the .rsn format(Rarred .spc set), and it doesn't support .spc either(Which is what you'd get if you unpacked the .rsn using a program like WinRAR) Given the way the SPC format works, replacing instruments should be possible, but requires some technical knowledge about the SPC700 chip used in the SNES, as well as the construction of the .spc filetype itself. Alternatively, you could convert the SPC to a MIDI file and work with that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPC700_sound_format Technical info on the SPC format.
  10. Wrong. So wrong it's not even funny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_Vista#Digital_Rights_Management
  11. Nintendo hasn't made an appearance at the CES for quite some time now, so they don't win prizes there.
  12. You can use an iPod as an external storage drive just as easily as any other MP3 player, and iTunes is not a requirement.
  13. So, are people already overlaying maps to see the similarities and differences? Ocarina of Time had a similar thing going on with A Link to the Past. The Temple of Time in OoT for example sits in the exact same position as the Lost Woods in LttP, and other areas match up as well. It also helps a bit in timeline placement(Although some parts are obvious)
  14. Looks rather interesting to me, and it seems to be able to resolve one of VGMix 2's biggest issues: A lack of reviews later on, and a rating system that got skewed too easily.
  15. I'd like to add a bit from my point of view, having been a moderator since mid 2003: I was never really for Unmod's deletion, I'd have preferred it if there had been some way to get rid of all the stupid shit and keep the good parts. Hell, I used to post in Unmod for quite some time, and was in charge of the NWG archive for a while too. I left it partially because some people decided it was a good idea to shit on the site staff, and because I found better places to post and enjoy myself. There's also been some pretty bad generalizations in this topic, and a few things I'd like to address. The staff not present at Magfest was unaware of Unmod's deletion until after it happened. We didn't have anything to go by. We were caught by surprise just as much as the members(Or at least I was) Same goes for the banning of Ayres. Yet people decided that their best option was to charge on those who had little knowledge of the actual situation, because they just happened to be around. Not the first time this happened, and somehow I doubt it'll be the last. Thanks to my job, social life, and not having been feeling too well for the past week or so, I've been out of the loop a bit on a few occasions(Such as the retroactive banning situation) This has also affected my responses in a few cases. Doesn't help if you're the only mod around who has to deal with everything at some points, as it can get rather stressful. I'm sure at least one of you plans to go "Lol internet serious business" at this. Go ahead, it doesn't change the fact that some things are indeed serious business to some. There is a level of responsibility involved in this job which is rather easy to miss. To be honest, I considered quitting the site staff around the same time Darke decided to actually leave, and for what I'm pretty sure are similar reasons, and other reasons(Such as being held responsible by some for everything that happens on the site, and being expected to explain everyone's decisions) In the end, I've decided that it's better to stay on and help, even if the job of moderator is a rather thankless one. We get much more comments on what we do "wrong" as opposed to when we do something "right". There's a lot the general audience of the site doesn't see because it's taken care of in time, and there's no credit in that. I'm not gonna try and defend every action we've taken, because that's rather impossible(Partially because there are actions I don't/didn't agree with, but can see a reasoning for) Finally: It rather surprises me that when others say pretty much the same thing about the upcoming Off Topic forum that I've been saying for a few days now, they suddenly seem to accept it.

    It's a console named Wii, which is made by Nintendo . Note that the other console threads also have the manufacturer name in them, and a large amount of sites refers to the system as Nintendo Wii rather than Wii.
  17. Same here, this is also why I prefer cutscenes to be done with the in-game engine rather than all the pre-rendered crap first introduced by the PSX and still being used in games today. Dynamic stuff just adds a level of involvement to a game, even if it's small. In my view, Twilight Princess has excellent music, and the samples used are of high quality.
  18. http://www.ocremix.org/info/ReMix_Changelog Might wanna check there. If you're talking about Injured Hero's Blood, it was removed for mostly being a rip from the original track.
  19. Please tell me this means you have a clean sample of the DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I can use for my cellphone. I need a new ringtone.

    It's actually a single two-sided plush(The tag should say enough) Shipping within Europe was rather reasonable, but I can see how it would be a problem for you since they ship from France. Also, there was a freebie Rabbid noteblock included.

    This fell into my mailbox today.
  22. Basically it means putting your music in the main iTunes playlist, hooking up the Shuffle, and letting it transfer the files to the Shuffle. This is also all you need to do. If you add or change stuff later on, synching again makes sure the changes exist on both your PC and on the Shuffle. The term synching(synchronizing) itself refers simply to making sure both have the same data on them.
  23. Do you have the original install files or an existing installation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe? If so, here's something nice: http://www.openttd.org Run the TTD installer if you haven't already(Might have to do that via a command prompt, this can be accessed by going to Start > Run > cmd), and follow the instructions on the OpenTTD site.
  24. User IDs aren't really needed, but they simplify the process of linking a remixer profile to a forum profile.
