  1. IIte aas well. Hey,you might want to post this survey in other places as well, if you want some varied results. Everyone here will give you more or less the same answer. For this survey to be effective, you should post it in other videogaming forums as well, so you know what the average joe thinks, and not just the videogame music enthusiast. Actually, by sending me that survey, you were asking intentionally for biased results. Just thought Id let you know.

  2. You made it better. Awesome. Im glad you kept the lead, the pitch bends would have otherwise sounded retarded.

    I just noticed that the song takes like 40 seconds to fade out...

    @ Tensei-San: I dont really keep track of dates, but I realize now that the standards have gone up. New mixes are of much better quality.

  3. Hold the phone! An Eva discussion without me? That just ain't right. Now I'm no fanboy (yes I am), but Eva did kinda suck at the end, but the movie was good in it's own right.

    I agree. The last two episodes, about 2 minutes of shit happened in real time, the rest was just Shinji asking who am I? and random words being displayed.

    Shamefully, I havent seen the movie.

  4. I know you remixers start out with sheet music of some sort. Nobody can listen to a track and know exactly what notes it contains. Actually I dont know, can you?

    Well I "remix" my music with finale notepad, because I am a broke ass n00b, and thusly I have a serious buttload of remixed MIDIs that sound like they came out of an ass. Also none of these MIDIs have drum tracks because trying to write drums in finale is like trying to manipulate a calculator by throwing your own feces at it.

    Enough of the poop references. I and I amstrictly limited to whatever songs I can

  5. Holy crap!!!

    Now I just need a godam USB to MIDI Cord so I can hook the damn thing up.

    I have a concern, though. It would be impossible, or at least unbearably ridiculous for any song with two or mare tracks, ie any MIDI that is not straight piano. I stand corrected, I just saw the video on the site. This will be less of a game and more of a workout machine for me.

  6. This is not an accurate assessment. There needs to be far more variation in texture and beatwork before even considering submission.

    1:16, that lead absolutely slices through the somewhat ethereal soundscape that you've set up. Consider easing up to that very sharp sound with something a little less punchy.

    Very rigid piano sequencing, but it works in a piece like this. I would suggest some dynamic changes in the piano part whilst it has its time.

    This is a solid foundation, but there's a lot of work to be done before submission.

    In my opinion, there are other remixes out there that arent as good as this. Im not a judge, but I've heard about 500 remixes on this site, and comparitively, this song is something good. I agree that more work would make it better, and that statement II made before was to get this thread back on top so it could get through the system.

  7. We do have an anime thread, so you really should post there...

    http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14009

    On the other hand, this is kind of a specific topic, so I'll let it slide. I'm thinking about killing the Anime thread though, it's just too general.

    Anyway, check out Black Lagoon. It's 26 episodes, but it's a whole bunch of smaller arcs thrown together without a huge overarching plotline. You can stop after any of the story arcs (though I don't know why you'd want to, it's very good).

    Thank you but no thank you. Ive already seen that and its pretty badass.

  8. I've been a die-hard Nintendrone since day #1. There have been some great games, but honestly, it's Gamecube all over again: next to no worthwhile 3rd party games, good 1st party games are too far between, long periods where nothing new seems to happen at all.

    On 360 and PS3, new things keep cropping up.

    It's like Nintendo doesn't want you to know (that they have no clue what to do next for Wii).

    The DS is fantastic, though!

    I agree and disagree. DS has no good 3rd party games and same with GC/Wii

    Nintendo needs to get their shit together

  9. I would like to start this thread by officialy publishing a definition for my very own "Google syndrome".

    It is when you get on a search engine for absolutely no reason and sit there for minutes trying to decide what to search. Also the same thing happens when you actually need to search for something, to a lesser degree. I cant be the only one who does this.

    Anyway, Ive got Google syndrome everytime I go on Veoh to download anime.

    I want something short, maybe a movie or a 12 episode shindig. None of this bleach crap where approximately jack shit is accomplished every episode because the anime is being produced alongside the manga and to fill for time they have 1 minute scenes of the guy running.

    Just so you know, Ive seen elfin lied, FF7 LO, Street Figher 2 The animated movie (sweetness), and samurai champloo, black lagoon, Deathnote, and Evangelion. Im looking for similar stuff.

    o and mod I have a knack for being an idiot so if this is in the wrong forum plz move it instead of deleting it im desperate here

  10. Good enough then. Just make sure you actually do the exercises, if there are any, or write similar stuff to what they're coming up with in the book if there are no exercises. It's extremely difficult to learn a language without hands-on experience, without the nights of banging your head against a problem to leave it and come back to it.

    Good luck! There are a few of us here who are experienced programmers, so make a thread if you run into language problems and need some help or another opinion.

    Ya id figured out to do my own excersises. I made a program that calculates the derivative of a function at a given point all by myself, and wow it works!!! I feel smrat!

  11. @Glitch: I'm answering your PM here since other interested people may be reading this thread.

    In terms of languages, learn C++. Learn it in-depth. Try to figure out not just how to make the program work but *why* it works. Find a project for yourself, probably remaking some classic game like Pac-man or Tetris, and figure out how you'd organize the code and the logical parts of the software. How does it all fit together? Teach yourself to plan up-front: a programmer who starts writing code without the end goal in mind is a liability, not an asset.

    For software, Microsoft has a free edition of Visual C++ you can download, and there are a few others out there as well. For Mac, I don't know what's available, but it's generally not hard to find tools and tutorials online.

    Way ahead of you. I bought this book, very relevant. Learning C++ through Game Programming, second edition by Micheal Dawson.

    O btw Dawson says not to use Microsoft C++ 6.0 at the beginning of the book.

  12. So I was seeing the previews for Iron Man (late I know) and I see the trailer for the Incredible Hulk.

    I thought to myself , thats nice, theyre making a Hulk movie. But something kept nagging at me throughout Iron Man, and at the end credits (not the actual end of the movie incidentally, I missed the last part that pissed me off). Oh yeah, I said, as I left the theater, early, they had already made a hulk movie, and this one clearly wasnt a sequel. I really should have figured that out , having seen the movie before.

    So why didnt I remember it?

    Heres what I believe happened: my brain being traumatized by the collossal, macabre magnitude of failure that the first movie had attained, forced itself to forget my having ever seen the movie to protect me from future damage.

    That said, Im glad theyre remaking it. There is no possible way for it to suck if it has Edward Norton in it.

  13. Wingless, I wont quote you because holy crap but thank you for the advice. The truth is I really didnt know anything about the gaming industry other than I want to be In it. Id heard it was competitive, sort of, but now I know the truth.

    So, my plan is to teach myself Japanese until I become fluent, get a job at Nintendo of Japan as a janitor, and hope to God that someone realizes my brilliance. Got it.

    EDIT: Zircon, I like your music, but your seriously killing my buzz right now.
