    gaming posters and memorabilia

    I was looking for this kind of stuff just the other day. If you go to allposters.com they have a rediculous amount of Street Fighter prints of just about every character, including people from 3rd Strike, some from the alpha series, and darkstalkers. Other than that I wish I knew more

    EDIT: vgcats.com also has some awesome shirts in their store. i might even get a couple.

    Hmm…

    I'm thinking this as close to perfection that you can get.

    I would be thinking of submitting this if I were you.

    (Well, maybe not. I am something of a perfectionist.)

    Please don't say things like this. I enjoy it as well but there is a very low chance this would be accepted just based on how it was made. OCR hates presets, which this has plenty of; i've heard that guitar a billion times, along with the drumkit. the breakdown section is a very nice exception to this.

    Don't get me wrong I actually really like what you've done, the arrangement itself is pretty creative. But the presets and the chippy low-fi sounds kill it. Put in some good instruments, get a new drumkit, and then come back with this and the nuances can be fixed.

    Why is everyone so concerned with graphics?

    If the brown blobs still create a fun gameplay experience I really don't mind what they look like. I'm sorry you'll miss out on a lot of good gameplay experiences due to your highly jaded attitude towards games.

    Why on earth are you personally attacking people for disagreeing with your generalized opinion of people here? That's just obnoxious, not to mention it makes you sound retarded.

    Get laid please. It helps.

    Sorry we can't play more Pokemon, like real adult men do.

    Who are you and

    It's XBox live, theres not a single real gamer on it. No real gamer pays to play games online on the worst service out there.

    who are you.

    You're both new here so its not as if you should have known but generally personal attacks and/or flaming an entire third (or fourth w/ pc games included) of the gaming market get people upset. There's no reason to and it makes you sound like a buttwipe.

    Konami + iPhone = Woot!

    I trust Konami to make good games, no matter what system they're on. The PS1 is vastly inferior to its successors but does that make MGS1 any less of a good game? I know you probably meant that they could do better in terms of what's available, but my point is that they can work with touch screens and still make a good game. (and yay I have a touch to play these on!)

    The issue here is that the iPhone IS the successor to the PSP and the DS and came out way later, and still sucks as a gaming device; it just isn't what its made for.

    Kenji was an amazing song. That's what I'm talking about when I say 'real' rap. Shinoda literally said somewhere in the song that he had a dream that he had to make this song, and he did. We got the privilege of hearing about a unique and amazing part of his family's history, instead of another rapper telling us how he's gonna take over Compton via martial force and screw everything that moves.

    Completely agree, this song is excellent cause he speaks from his background and you can tell its something that means something to him.

    Cigarettes is another song by him that I think breaks the mold, mostly because it lays out on the table what a whole lot of rap albums are about. He seems to actually dislike that it's the way the industry works, and its refresing to hear him talking about stuff like how Kenji and Cigarettes do on his tracks.

    there's a lot of subtleties to every kind of music, it's not just DnB.

    and what's wrong with not putting mind power into listening to music? i've always thought there were 2 sides to listening to music... listening with your heart and listening with your brain. i feel like listening with your heart, just feeling the music, is the most basic and primitive response to music and is always a part of the musical experience. listening with your brain may or may not come into play much, depending on how you listen to music. but i think it's not a requirement of listening to music the "correct" way.. only engaging the heart is

    I don't disagree with that, some people like their music to just flow and have it be right out there. I personally like to be able to sit down and listen through a Dieselboy mix or a High Contrast CD or whatever, and appreciate the subtleties of how it's put together. I know they're not extreme, and many people have issues with on a genre level, but I like it that way, it can be nice and I enjoy it.

    And zircon knows how to listen to electronic so its not a matter of listening to it wrong.

    I think the vagrance didn't word it quite right but he's got a bit of a point in there. There's a lot of subtleties to dnb that don't show up unless you're putting some mind power into listening to it; plenty of my friends who have happened upon me listening to dnb just tell me "its the same thing forever" but its not, there's variations and that's what keeps it fresh. imo the fact that the variations are so subtle keeps me interested because you have to listen for it.

    Pretentious much? :roll: I'm a big electronic music aficionado, I just think that DNB in general is a vapid genre. Almost as bad as electro house. I've done a DNB CD myself that has already been licensed and I have plenty of tracks in my collection. There are definitely standout artists... I like London Elektricity for example. My man Dieselboy is pretty awesome too (Philadelphia!) but I'd definitely put Pendulum up there as some of the best. Really, so much of DNB is just uncreative by comparison, and I'm not saying Pendulum always is either, but their style is polished to a mirror shine.

    To add onto this, I'd say most of Hospital Records, which is the label that London Elektricity runs, is very solid and worth looking into. Especially dannny byrd, he's not the most creative of the bunch but i personally love his sound.

    :lol: Perhaps Shadow too, a phenomenal character.

    lol

    but yeah Knuckles would be shit on wheels awesome i'd love to see that.

    most important of all though, would be Pokemon Trainer. because he is awesome. if any of you are on smashboards i'm doing my best to whip PT boards into shape; PT boards for respectable tier.

    I'm with everyone that general modern pop isn't what it should be. But modern hip hop has some pretty good examples of great actual music and lyricism. If I may:

    Touch My Soul, by Collective Efforts

    Dark Skinned White Girls, by Murs (honestly, most anything by Murs)

    Daydreamin' by Lupe Fiasco

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQYcoPfE7Xk

    Demolition Double by Turbo T Double

    Coincidentally, this is the same dude who does the street fighter raps. Note the sweet shadaloo hat. Makes tons and tons of references.

    Stylistic differences aside, I think it's fair to say these are all competent, skilled artists who put more than the crap you hear on the radio into their songs.
