  1. I love your musics and it was rad to see you doing a podcast. The intro was hot with the Hadouken track. That album was a bitch to find and I love that you started out with it. Most of the music I recognize, but the trance outs are really killer so far. Hope to hear this consistently, thanks for the mix.
  2. EVERY? c'mon one shouldn't be on there, it's an embarassment to the site and the project. It cheapens and lessens everybody's contributions, it's shameful even it's on there.
  3. the DC is the last bastion of hardcore gaming. I got mine a couple of years ago, and there's so much to offer. I'm not really into racing games, but there's a lot of really good ones. Rush 2049, Tokyo xtreme racer 1 and 2, and metropolis street racer. It's got tons of J-pan exclusives too, if you want to bolster your library with hot titles. I don't think anybody has mentioned Seaman, Rez, or the seminal classic, typing of the dead. I actually have a floor demo model, the whole upright cabinet thing you'd seen in a store. It looks like a Dalek from Doctor Who. I don't think that 40 bucks is that bad, who really cares if that's 10 more than thirty, that's not rally that big of a deal, same price as a movie ticket. DO EEEEETTTT!!!!, it'll make you a better person.
  4. I always figured the dog's name was rush, only cause Rush is the greatest rock band in the world and megaman is all about rock and roll.
  5. This movie doesn't seem to have any bearing on the comic book. The comic had very particular imagery. None of the characters in the trailer are even wearing costumes. I remember that Wesley's costume was awesome, really cheesy and you could totally tell he was going to kill some people. The casting is all wrong for the movie, it would have been really great if they got the people that the characters were based on i.e Eminem and Halle Berry. I doubt that Shithead and Fuckwit are even going to be in the movie. This is going to be a shitty summer flick without any of the charm and humour of the comic. Can't wait till Batman, that's gonna be pretty fun.
  6. Picked Billy Dee because he sponsored Colt 45 way back in the day. Colt 45 is therefore known as Billy Dee. He is also the original space pimp.
  7. I loved Speed Racer, probably more than Iron Man. I think it was a really earnest attempt to re-create the original show. My only gripe is that I don't think they took it as far as they could have. I wish the movie was more outrageous. I think every time that Racer X was on the screen, they should have had that stupid voice-over explaining his history just like in the old show. I almost wish they spoke really fast too, just to make it even more retarded. Overall, I think people will come back to this movie and appreciate it more as time goes on, kinda like Tron. As for the Cloverfield comments, that movie doesn't stand up on the second viewing, although I really enjoyed it in theaters. Once you've seen it once, there's nothing left to really explore. They could pump out sequels like crazy though, and have it done with other people and their respective cameras, just slowly building the mythos, adding more creatures, just like Godzilla.
  8. There should be a counter bar showing how much in pledges you've received so far, just like those cheesy telethons. It would be fun to see how much moneys is being accrued by OCR.
  9. Just wait a couple of days, it should be up and running. VGmix is notorious for not working. edit: this bad boy is working, here's the link champ http://dod.redheadedblacksheep.net/past/march06/
  10. the shizz isn't down, try it again. I am not too sure how keen they are going to be though, they already have a Willow project they're working on. Like the dude mentioned beforehand, check out the previous Dwelling of Duels competitions to find the metal gear songs, the one by virt is pretty intense.
  11. Post this in the Shizz they almost deal exclusively with guitar driven arrangements and there is plenty of metal and shredding in there. www.theshizz.org
  12. If you have the chance, check this guy out, any thing that Spam does is solid gold. His ESD set at M6 was beyond real, those guys rocked harder than anybody in the jam space, period.
  13. YMO did some early japanese music for video games at least I think they did. A fair bit of their tracks sound like VGM anyways. Rydeen is probably their well known tune. Check out some of their live stuff on youtube, it's pretty funny.
  14. yeah, I did a quick check on ebay but I didn't get anywhere really. the closest I could find was the Yellow Magic Orchestra, but not really the pure VGM I was looking for, although, they do kick some ass. Any more suggestions. I'm sure that somebody has that one piece of information that might lead to vinyl bliss.
  15. hey fellas, I just got my old turntable fired up and I need some deadly tunes. I know there has to be some type of video game music on vinyl out there. I've heard on EGM's podcasts that there was Dragon Quest soundtracks published on vinyl and I was curiouse if anybody's heard of this and where to find it. I just need to own something as retarded as vg music on vinyl.
  16. To maintain some flavour of the original show I would love to hear longer shows. Unfortunately, by creating a pre-made show, you're never going to get that six or seven hour program anymore. I remember you did some shows that were only about two hours and they were awesome. Any longer than that, and I think it would be a burden on you and a tough time to casually listen to. Can't wait to hear you on the air again.
  17. I for one would love to have a Larrry Oji show again, I miss his vg frequency a great deal. Beyond that, VGDJ should live on, there's no reason somebody else couldn't start something up from the bottom up.
  18. Take this even further: Kirk traded immortality in heaven to die under a collapsed bridge. Archer? Ancient history. Picard? He's still around, assumedly. Janeway? Flag officer? The only reason that they promoted Janeway to admiral is so she would never helm a ship again and muck up the universe.
  19. Chakotay is a chump. Even the actor, Robert Beltran admitted that he had no balls. I mean he is pretty much Janeway's bitch, like he should have had a leash around his neck. Voyager is an abomination, even the Doctor and Seven couldn't redeem this series, cause they sucked too.
  20. If the metal is left in there until equilibrium is reached, the metal and water will eventually be the same temperature. In other words, you set up two equations, one for the metal with the initial temperature at 30, and the final temperature being what you want to calculate, and the water with an initial temperature at 100, and the final temperature being the same value. You can manipulate the equations so that you are trying to calculate the final temperature for each, then set them equal to each other. I'm guessing the only unknown in the equation will be the change in heat energy on each side. Since the energy will be lost in one equation and gained on the other, you probably will be able to move them both to the same side of the equation and end up with 2 times the unknown energy, divide both sides by two, and sort out what the heat transfer is from the masses of metal and water and the specific heats and initial temperatures of both substances. I'm doing this without actually seeing the equations in front of me, but I'm betting that's it. There could also potentially be a twist. If the water is boiling, some of the water in an enclosed beaker could potentially be steam. Steam at the same temperature as water has higher thermal energy, because energy is required to make a phase change from liquid to gas state. In that case you'd have to take into account the proportion of water that is steam and add that energy in to your equation. If there's steam in the beaker, it can't transfer to the piece of metal. If the steam isn't in contact with the metal, there's no means for a heat transfer to occur. If the metal was half submerged, you would have to worry about it. If the system is closed, the steam-water mixture will have to turn fully to water before the heat transfer to the metal will allow the temperature to start decreasing. If the problem is one of equilibrium, you can't end up with non-boiling water and steam in the same closed system at equilibrium. The original poster was nowhere near specific enough on the terms of the question to settle exactly what we are trying to solve and under what conditions, however. Details are important in physics. You can't half-tell someone about a question and don't tell them all your information or the actual wording of what is being asked and expect to get a single, straightforward answer. Maybe it's heat transferred after a period of time, in which case you were probably on the right track, maybe it's heat transfer after equilibrium has been reached, in which case I was probably on the right track. Original poster, are you following this, or what? Agreed, more information is required, like we don't know if this is silver or a chunk of lead.

  22. Black_Lit This is for the metal question. I'm pretty sure that it depends on how length of time it's in there, its material properties and it's dimensions. However looking through my old heat transfer book I found that for a convective heat transfer which is what you have, the genral formula would be something like this q"=h(Ts-Tinfinity). q" is the heat flux transfered into the body, h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, Ts is the surface temperature of the object, and Tinfinity is the temperature of the fluid that its placed into. Normally the convective heat transfer coefficient is a bitch to calculate, but for a boiling fluid, this value can range between 2,500 and 10,000. Basically you'll have to estimate this value. I don't know if this is way too much, or if this is what you're looking for. If anybody can see a simpler way, be my guest. Peace.
  23. woo hoo, got my button in the mail. Strangely enough the envelope was also ripped like many other listeners, but I think that Canada Post just has their shit together and magically allowed the button to leave the tear only after it arrived at my pad
