  1. I saw the name a few times before but had absolutely no interest in listening to her. Then, this morning, whilst eating my captain crunch with crunchberries, I found an article about her on cracked.com. Why not finally see what the hell is going on.

    I couldn't even finish one friggin song (Tik Tok). She can't sing, even with autotune. Her lyrics are the dumbest things I've heard in a very long time. The music is typical pop and, while catchy, her singing ruins any redeeming value. The video was horrible. And she's not attractive.

    She's about on the level of Brokencyde in my opinion. Unless she masterminded everything else about the song that wasn't her singing, from arrangement to production, and/or directed her own crappy video, I have zero respect for this artist. I hope this kind of autotune pop goes away fast. Very fast. Like, right now. Real singers with real talent are getting ousted by this kind of stuff.

    She also reeks of dirty skank just from her video and lyrics.

    Edit: Megadave, I'm basically in your boat. Let's go get a beer.

  2. We seem to be having a real bad string of luck these days. Hitori recently told me he may not be able to finish his track, despite a substantial WIP. Therefore it has been moved to bonus. If someone doesn't pick up "After the Dream" in the next week or two, I will pick it up myself.

    Edit: and JUST LIKE THAT, someone grabs it. Thanks to OA, who is now doing After the Dream, as well as making us a sexy website!

    Double Edit: Oh, and Protodome got a smexy update in! This means I only get to pester him a month from now. Mad-awesome, Mr. Dome.

  3. It was my only successful thread.

    Go be mopey somewhere else, Mr. Voyager. :nicework:

    OKAY, so maybe one person or less may have noticed that we didn't list the name of the next episode coming up yet in the OP. Well, that's because September is going to be full of something special awesome. Z from Hipster, Please has declared September to be drunken podcast month. Seeing as our good buddies over at Nerdy Show were planning on taking a one month break before they started Season Four of their own show, we figured we'd make this month great for them by starting it with a hangover that lasts until October. We recorded one of the most spectacularly long drunken podcasts we've ever done!

    This podcast was well over 3 hours, and the plan is to divide it up and distribute it once a week until September is over. Hopefully, the first part will be out tomorrow night. We will still be recording new episodes on our own on the backend, but they may or may not be coming out on top of these (it really depends on how much time I get for editing, and y'alls already know the current episodes are a bitch to do!).

    So there you have it, be on the lookout for the upcoming series of...NERDY SHOW AFTER DARK!

  4. How does he do it?

    He makes awesome music, helps out immeasurably in the WIP forums, and still has time to raise two kids! THIS MAN IS INHUMAN...LY AWESOME!

    Best of birthdays to you, and may your family, friends, and this community, continue to be privileged to have you around for many years to come.

    Cheers.

  5. Honestly, it depends on the mood, and how far abstracted you want to get from the source tune.

    You pointed out the two most recent acoustic renditions of Mega Man 2 songs, which demonstrates the abstracted. It's always good to hear a fresh, unique perspective on the same source. There's also stuff like Vampire Spanker for Castlevania, and untold other amounts of tunes that wouldn't have thought to have been acoustic.

    Then you have tunes like Quickening and Theme of Love for Guitar Duet, which seem to embody the spirit of the source in a similar "sound vehicle", if you will.

    Of course, on the other hand, you have Sixto's ridiculous Mega Man 2 track that recently came out, showing a modernizing of the spirit of the original in electric form.

    And, so that the contrast isn't left out on this side, you pointed out Dolphin Ride. Lunatic Moon from VotL is another great choice of electric based on softer source.

    Bottom line: it's ALL good.

  6. Sounds like it could be out any day now! :D fingers crossed!!

    I wouldn't say it could be out any day now. Even after all the project songs, art, and website stuff is done, there is still considerable time needed for backend administrative stuff. That being said, this is definitely close to being wrapped, even if it may not be upon imminent release. But it's not my project, so what do I know?

    Well, I do know that I gave my final wav to brad two days ago, THAT'S what I know. :350:

  7. Jade asked me and abg to assistant direct the project some time ago. I would assume that, if she's not available, you can defer to either abg or myself for some WIP reviewing. No project decisions will be made on her behalf, but at the very least we can do what we were asked to do, which was basically follow her direction as well as give WIP feedback.

    If you're trying to get feedback on your WIP, seeing as Jade isn't reachable right now, send abg or myself a PM. I have not heard from Jade in a little while myself, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure she'll show up in the thread sooner or later. We do have a little while before the next deadline anyway.

  8. All of the people who knew Duke Nukem 3D are now married with kids.

    Unless I got married and had kids I didn't know about, I'm going to have to say you're pretty wrong here. I was 11 when Duke3d came out but I was still playing it! Even those of us who were too young then usually had older siblings or relatives and knew WHO Duke was. I'm still very very excited for this (I still have my original Duke3d disc), and even those people who did get married and have kids will be able to instill a new generation with the badassness that is Mr. Nukem.

    SHAKE IT, BABY!

  9. Oh lord. Whatever Gackt is, DO NOT WANT. >_<

    You can't unsee him! LOOK AT THE HORROR!

    Episode 35.

    If this disorganization keeps up, I am gonna take my thread back.

    Fixed.

    Crap, I can't think of a good metaphor here, but you get the point.

    OCAD is getting classy and organized?

    Duke Nukem Forever is coming out?

    Gacky image has been shown?!

    Yeah, it's probably the end-times now, ain't it?
