Just in case you do not know of it, RKO has many excellent remixes of C64 songs.I have fond memories of the Commodore 64, but some of the games that were released on that system were just plain EVIL.Waiting ten minutes for a game to load and then losing all your lives within thirty seconds of starting it (sometimes even requiring you to rewind the tape and load everything again if it was a multiload game) could drive the most patient of people insane.
Oh well, at least we were treated to some awesome SID tunes while waiting for the torture to start
Was that the one where you had to dock with a space station by lining up your crosshairs? That was a really fun game, but I was not very good at it. Or maybe I'm thinking of Star Control? I can't remember.QF Fucking T.Yar's Revenge is the shit.
Anyone remember Starmaster for the 2600? That game was bad ass. There were so many controls for the game that a joystick with one button wasn't enough. You had to use buttons on the console to run the game. The B/W-Color switch turned your map on and off, The Game Select switch ignited the hyperdrive. The difficulty toggles on the back switched the targeting computer on and off. It was freakin awesome to see the hardware used in such an unusual way. My dad kicked ass at that game.

Yeah, I was just picking on you because this is the internet. I wouldn't grow too attached to any of the main console makers if I were you; they are bound to disappoint.Sorry, I changed that now...I meant a fanboy that hates every other console, which I'm not... does that make more sense?

Loading...File not found. Syntax error?so don't accuse me of being a Nintendo fanboy. I love Nintendo, and always will -
I like how you reference a song that, at best, is mediocre. Try again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIjW17IPRdgbut yeah most people who try to say that mario sunshine or mario galaxy weren't very good are either retarded or butthurt sonic fans

Crappy music. Uninspired stage design. Boring. A weak game overall compared to Mario64.WHY DOES EVERYONE ON THIS SITE HATE MARIO SUNSHINE I thought that game was pretty rockin'. -
Yes. It's not too bad if you play conservatively. Marian is a bitch and her levitation handjob can cause you to get stuck on the ceiling forever(an annoying bug that ruins all the work you put into it).Anyone ever beat Double Dragon III without a game genie?I have yet to meet anyone that's beaten Disk 2 of Dragon's Lair for the c64. The final mudmen stage is wacky; what the hell were you supposed to do there?

Once you've reached the upper levels in Yar's Revenge as I did, everything else is child's play or uninteresting.

I'm waiting for WiiScrabble.

I liked and kept five songs. Thanks for sharing them.Regardless, the vast majority have found that they like at least ONE song, and honestly, for that, the project should be considered a success. -
Why do you need a reason to buy fruit loops?
-
bLiNd's Bridge to Eternity is easily the best song on the album. It captures the heart and soul of the original and takes it up several notches. As for the rest, many strayed into the hard rock or rock opera area. A pity.
-
None of them use the headset.And what about the cool people you run into in the meantime? -
I think I agree with all these ideas.Everything sounds very upfront. You could push some of the tracks into the background more. it also sounds distorted in a bad way.Ouch, the tambourine! Highs are pretty heavy, sounds over-EQd.
Tempo change was a little too noticeable to work in the middle of it like that imo. Once you get into the dance part the mixing sounds better. Still clipping a little here and there.
Mostly production crits, as those are what bother me the most here. Promising stuff.
At 2:32'= the shift is abrupt.
This sounds like three takes merged into one. At most keep two of the main takes you have going here. At the very least, gradually ease into the transitions.
Keep at it.

Fist of the North Star. Mad Max + Bruce Lee = Loads of fun.

In other cable news, SciFi (Science Fiction channel) is now Syfy. I don't get it, but then again I'm probably not the target audience. Weird stuff.
Not that I've watched it in a long while. I prefer to see Ramsay yell at people in the kitchen.
-
I'll get you next time, Gadget.It's still better than Nickelodeon. -
The only possible/logical rationale I can come up with for Cartoon Network deciding not to run the plethora of cartoons from 80s/90s might be licensing? Someone can clear this up if they know more about it, but don't channels have to pay for a license to run a particular series for a particular period of time.
That's why HBO showed the Negotiator(granted it's a movie) non-stop for a month or so. Now, it is never on.
Maybe it's a financial issue, and the owners of those cartoon series charge too much? Again, I'm grasping on the licensing issue.

One clip does not an argument make. Besides, I'm talking about the artwork style or lack thereof.I think it's silly to say Japanese-style animation somehow doesn't count, but again, just WATCH an episode of TMNT. There is this great clip of Mike talking for 30 seconds while April, in the background, has literally two frames of animation. I mean, it's ridiculous. You would never see that in a modern cartoon. They have way better production values, and there is seriously no debating that. Just compare two side by side on YouTube.The technology has improved with frame count and smoothness. Yay. If the content, artwork, music, and story isn't there, I'll stick with the 80s/90s stuff.
This is true for much of today's movies as well. As a not-really-related aside, please tell me you didn't like Beowulf. I watched the last 30 minutes of it. Dreadful art and everything. Ugh.
-
I have several of them on DVD, and they're just as fun today as they were then. In fact, some of the adult humor (usually one liner references) in GI Joe and TMNT are hilarious and went unnoticed when I was a kid. Cobra's training camps look just like Al Qaeda/Quesadilla. Hilarious.Yeah, but I think that's because that's what we were watching when we were younger. And you know what? Late 80s/early 90s cartoons really don't hold up.As for today's cartoons having superior artwork/quality, give me a break. Excluding animation ported from Japan, modern American cartoons are crap. Look at the artwork for these cartoons. They look like things I could draw, and I can't draw to save my life. The story lines are even more pathetic.
If it wasn't for anime masking the lackluster American offerings here in the states, you'd see modern Western cartoons as the crap they are.
-
I agree but you can always imagine your own ending taking place a few weeks later.Cowboy Bebop (for the record, I HATE the ending to Bebop, made me feel like I wasted my time, sorry, just my opinion). -
It's a perfect analogy. The niche market and identifier for Cartoon Network is/was "cartoons" (yes, I'm one of those old fogies that still calls anime a cartoon). Here are some more absurd analogies:That's not a great analogy. If CN had a really good live action show that was exclusive to their network, you wouldn't be able to watch it anywhere else.The Comedy Channel showing "Platoon".
The Encore Action channel showing "Mansfield Park"
The SciFi network creating a sitcom like The Cosby Show or Home Improvement.
The Encore Romance channel showing "Commando".
CNN and Fox News airing sitcoms.
The Home and Garden Network showing cartoons.
Exclusivity does not matter. If they want to market themselves as the "Cartoon" Network, then they had better stick to cartoons. Otherwise, they'll become another kiddy channel that shows a variety of programming (stuff I never did watch even when I was a kid).
-
No. I can get that from other channels. It's "Cartoon" Network. What if the food network began showing Schindler's list and The Shawshank Redemption?It would probably be cool with most everyone here if the new live action shows were extremely good, right? -
I stopped watching that channel because they started showing things besides "cartoons".
It's "Cartoon" Network. All those shows to choose from (GI Joe, Thundercats, Voltron, TMNT, Smurfs, Conan, etc), and they put on crap. No thanks. A wasted channel and a poor vision.
Reminds me of "TechTV was better".

Ocarina of Time.
Game over for VGMix? NOPE
