    Just a fraction of the maybe 25 people we had at Friday's

    Speaking of TGIF's...I can't wait to see the pictures and gifs that Flik has from there. He took like 60 pictures alone of Cyril eating a hamburger...and then a gif of the whole table doing the wave...and it turns out the table can djp.

  2. Wow, I just felt an intense sadness when I looked at those pictures. I miss you guys :(

    Sounds like you've got PMD (Post MAGFest Depression). The only cure is more MAGFest.

    PS. Bahamut --- thanks for taking all those pictures! This is the second year that I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked to, and I was glad to see two huge albums go up on facebook.

  3. This is the same man who was a secret agent in World War 2. During filming of LotR, when Saruman was stabbed in the back by Grima Wormtounge, Peter Jackson was displeased with the gurgling noise Lee made and told him to change it to something else. Lee informed him that the sound Jackson was making was not the sound a man stabbed in the back made.

    That is the same exact thing I thought when I read the article. Hooray for two discs of bonus features!

    The concept of this album is really kinda cool too. It's the story of Charlemange, and it turns out Christopher Lee is actually related to him. That's so badass.

  4. I'm still in denial.

    I'm in the hotel, and therefore still at MAGfest (even if everyone is leaving/gone). Until about an hour from now, I'm not admitting to having Post-MAGFest Depression.

  5. I've always been curious how those things sound

    is it as different from a traditional violin as an electric guitar is from a traditional guitar?

    also what's the standard tuning for the strings, C G D A E?

    When it's played without being plugged in, it sounds like a muted acoustic violin, since there's no body for the sound to vibrate. When it's plugged in it sounds like an amplified acoustic violin, and it works exactly the same as an electric guitar - you can plug it into an amp, run it through pedals, etc. I was messing around with it in logic last night with different effects, and some of the stuff you can do with it is pretty sweet. And yeah, the tuning is C G D A E. It's weird to play at first because the strings are much closer together, and I'm still bumping into other strings by accident every once in awhile. It's also sized like a violin, so the C string leaves something to be desired, and also, the C string is a bitch to get in tune. Most five strings violins have that problem though.

    It's coming to MAGfest. Yay Xenotones! :-)

  6. The poster says "dress in Bond attire" and I expect OCR peoples to show up in some snazzy apparel for the New Years Eve party. It would be awesome.

    Let's make this a reality. I want an excuse to wear my prom dress again.

    Plus we can get drunk, and still be classy!

  7. I've told numerous people about the site. I've brought a few friends who like to remix to the forums.

    nonsensicalexis is the only one who stayed ;(

    Yep, I'm here and it's all his fault.

    :-P

    Over the course of my student teaching high school orchestra last year, I told a few students about the website, and that I had worked on a remix. About a week later, I had a fan club because they found Wanderer on the Offensive. That was kind of awesome. I'm not sure if any of them found their way onto the forums or not.

  8. The only thing I want from my Secret Santa is Ichigo Mashimaro Manga Vol 3 or 4, or both if Amazon.com happens to sell them for like $5.99 each in the used section or something.

    Wish granted...Merry Christmas from your Secret Santa! (The site I ordered from wouldn't let me attach a message or anything to your packages..so this is the next best thing.)

    :-P
