  1. I frequently hear that getting involved with mod projects is also a great way to get some valuable experience and improve your employability. Even Portal started out as a small mod project. And those guys all work at Valve now.

    What skills does one need to become involved with these projects? Im pretty sure that I dont have them yet.

  2. Shoot, bub, Im going to have to have me a hear at that source.

    This song was fine. I am going to give you some life advice. Just as overusing cymbals happens too much, so does the general use of clapping. I know you didnt use clapping and thats great, but if you are ever making a non-symphonic song and think to yourself, hey this song would be better with clapping, then you will be sorely wrong. The only song that didnt fail with clapping was gerudo valley, for reasons I cannot explain.

    Just remember, clapping=gay insecure noob

  3. ARRANGEMENT / INTERPRETATION

    [X] Too conservative - sticks too close to the source

    [ ] Too liberal - not enough connections to the source (too much original writing)

    [ ] Too much direct sampling from original game audio

    [ ] Borrows heavily from non-source material (eg. a theme from a movie)

    Sorry bub I know Im critiquing your critique but how could you call this conservative? The melody is the SoS melody only about half the time and the chord progression is totally different from the source.

    Aside from that, Im annoyed that the SoS is 3/4 because it makes for bad techno, always having to add these corny extra notes. Putting aside my own purism, this song was pretty dern good, though theres room for improvement.

  4. I'm reminded of the scene from Aliens where Ripley tells the CO she feels like a third wheel and asks if there's anything she can do to help. The CO replies, "I don't know, what can you do?"

    So... what can you do?

    In terms of schooling, approximately jack shiot. But that will change when I go to school. Right now I know a lot about music, HTML code, and just enough visual basic to screw up your computer.

    I should probably learn myself some animation and C++ stuff, correct?

  5. No video game work, no video game ties, and have not met even a semi-famous game maker.

    'Tis sad, I know :lol:

    Same here, bub.

    I'm taking four years of software engineering at FIT and then Ill be a communications officer or some bull in the Army for four years after that because of my ROTC scholarship... so do any of you guys think Ill have a good shot at becoming a game designer or something like that 8 years from now? Im looking for actual professional opinions.

  6. I thought the IGN trailer for the Zelda movie was pretty good, could definitely work :P

    http://movies.ign.com/dor/articles/863515/legend-of-zelda-movie-trailer/videos/legendofzelda_filmtrailer_040108.html

    Hey, bub, that trailer was terrible. Im tired of people saying it was good. Link looked like Michael Jackson for gods sake. It was terriblr in a funny wy, because it had us thinkinkg, wow theyre making a zelda movie... holy god in heaven its terrible!!!

    Zelda looked like just some guys sister.

  7. Does anyone know how hard it is/was to try and remake this..

    Because it seems one of those things that might not be impossible. Just takes ages.

    Well Methuselah had started it in 2003, its not done, and its 2008. Say he made it up to when link becomes an adult, which is more than I have evidence to say in the first place.

    If he kept working on this, which i believe he is no longer, it will take another 8 years or so.

    :-P

  8. Haha gotcha. Theyre not making one, at least not now.

    Would it make a good movie, though? I mean, having Link talk, doing an entire Zelda adventure in under 2 and a half hours,who would play Link, Zelda, should they be Japanese or not, what plot would it follow?

    I say if they did for mario bros, they sure as hell can do it for Zelda.

    EDIT: The entire movie wold need to be like this

    GOLDEN!!

  9. Good music adds to the replay value, for one thing. Half of what is great about games like Zelda, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, and Sonic is that music playing in the background. If its the right stuff, it adds to the mood a lot. Basically, music is another form of scenery.

    And yes, Metroid Prime 3's BGM was like elevator music. Kind of ironic that its initials are MP3.

    To solve problems like bad bgm, have your gothic roomate blast death music instead, that sets the mood nicely.

  10. I've scanned it with AVG, its running fine, its safe, I had your 'Gay' error but a new icon appeared, I clicked that, now I'm playing.

    Not much to do. You just walk around throwing boomerangs and planting bombs. If you kill yourself the game freezes. Like I said, very gay.

  11. I downloaded it... but I'm somewhat reluctant to run the exe. I just dont want to find out this is some virus or something.

    Brilliant move man. NOBODY OPEN THAT CRAP!!!!!

    I sent a reply from whoever sent the email and he sent one back saying that Dampe was using his account to send these links out and told me not to download it in all caps. The thing is retarded anyway.

    I guess dampe wants revenge

  12. Today I got an email from god knows where saying that Daniel Barras has released the final version of Ocarina of Time 2d and it provided me with links. I downloaded off one of the mirrors I was supplied with and I cant play the game because of some gay error, but I did play the debug mode or something like that, it was pretty gay. Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone have news?

    EDIT: SHIT if any of you downloaded from that link plz dont open it. At least thats what the guy said for me to do.

    This is all very confusing

  13. That's assuming he'll be anything like his Melee incarnation. My guess is, he'll be reworked quite a bit. After all he has to lug around that vacuum everywhere he goes now.

    My god, now that the novelty of owning a gamecube has worn off, I realize what a stupid idea Luigi's Mansion was. A vacuum. Almost as stupid as a talking tank of water.
