  1. No, there's no place around here to mess with instruments (except Peabody, but... no, haha). That won't be in the plans, so don't bother bringing stuff

    Aww :-(

    Even as a non-musician, that was one of my favorite parts.

    Well at least with my laptop, I'll be able to play with instrumentals! :wink:

    (if you were at MAGfest 6 you know what I'm talking about...)

    Edit: Sad you won't be there, Wes. Hopefully next time.

  2. Escariot threatened me with death if I didn't throw my hat in here (or at least with a guilt-trip for being too lazy to drive 15 mins south from my place to downtown Baltimore), so if it's cool, I'd like to tag along. I'm pretty certain May 3rd works well for me.

    Yay!

    It'll be cool to see you again too, Pezman

  3. Offtopic, but I do recall q-pa doing a video game music set at MAGFest.
    *cough cough*

    I didn't want to get involved, but yeah...

    That's true, and it was good, but he only actually scratched for a second at the end.

    I would've done more, but I had technical difficulties to attend to and only 10 minutes anyway. I'm a much better mixer than scratcher.

    I already have an OCR tag of sorts: my dog-tag I got from that guy at MAGFest 5 last year.

    I was going to get a Koopa on the back or something this year, but the guy wasn't there.

    Cool ideas, all. Certainly would help with introductions at meetups. ;-)

  4. OHMYGODZ TORRENTZ PLS!

    If I remember correctly they originally announced the 2nd season would air this fall, but right now Kyoto Animation is releasing their series Clannad. I suspect they'll do the 2nd season of Haruhi after that's over.

    I couldn't see Haruhi airing at any time except the summer anyway. My summer of 2006 was so defined by that. 8)

  5. I just finished Apollo Justice, and I can't believe that I'm about to say this, but there was a GameFAQs review that got it right: "This is still Phoenix's story."

    Damn, how'd you beat it that fast?

    I've been paying all the AA games in succession since July and am only on the 3rd case of Trials & Tribulations! But I've already decided not to rush through it to get to AJ. The cases seem to be more intricate this time around and I want to take my time and enjoy them.

  6. Playstation hasn't changed their basic controller design for their newer consoles. Perhaps people like the number of buttons on the controller as well as it's feel. I know I do.

    To this day I'm still confused when I see PlayStation button combinations printed out.

    R2 + O + ↑ + Δ ...

    Personally, I have a Logitech WingMan controlller for my PC with 6 standard buttons and 4 shoulder buttons. I don't mind it (maybe b/c I can easily change the controls for PC games); better emulation of fighting games that way. :)!!

    Edit: I also find it funny how every game today has an in-game control orientation, handled in their own unique ways.

  7. Hehe yea saw the GDC clips @ the awards show. God so hilarious. What made it even more awesome was I met the guy on Thursday unexpectedly. Was playing Rock Band at some audion booth in the "no name" parts of GDC's expo floor and he was there watching. So I says hi and ask if he wanted to play and he took the guitar and we played Black Hole Sun and was awesome. Took a pic of him afterward (couldn't get me in the shot cause he was in a hurry).

    Where are said pictures?

    Some of the comments on YouTube regarding the premiere there say that he wasn't in attendance...

    Also, while browsing YouTube I found a wtf?

    Be warned...

  8. Something with that name definitely wouldn't sell in the US, that's for sure.

    Yeah, Toyota is a registered trademark, what's up with that?! ;-)

    Also...

    Watching the Toyooootaaaaaa.

    Ohh, that rhymes with Yooodaaaaaaa.

    Toyootaaaa... Eminaaaaaaaa.... :<

  9. Remember "The Critic"? Make Jay Sherman British and make the subject matter video games instead of movies and that's basically somewhat along the lines of the charm of Yahtzees' reviews. He's just rarely satisfied, and hearing why is very entertaining.

    "It's Bollocks!"

    But in all seriousness, reading/watching a review of any kind is kind of a translation process. You decide whether you'll like it or not based on the reviewer's review, but also his/her tastes and personality.

    Growing up, my local paper had like the worst movie reviewer in the world. I would literally take anything she said and turn it 180 degrees to see if i would like it or not.

    (mind you i was still in high school then and still semi-into juvenile humor, but still...)

  10. Thats all on the producer of the dvd. Blu ray has tons more space for storage, so theoretically it can hold much much more special features wise.
    I think what he means is is there support for games and other interactive features or whatnot. I've been wondering about this myself.

    I know at least one of the formats can have split-screen chapter selection (with video previews) while the movie is playing. Saw it once; forget which.

  11. After picking around bdcool187's ridiculous amount of SSBB footage and audio on Youtube yesterday, a few things struck me.

    1) Where will the Mona's Pizza and Ashley's Theme from the WarioWare series be used--if not in the WarioWare stage? Sorry if this is a noob question; haven't played any SSB game for an extended period of time yet.

    2) I also wonder why Tetris' B-Type Music is in there--and non-remixed too--unless he was pulling our leg.

    Edit: is there any way to prevent the board from displaying the Youtube video in my post?
