Agreed with Pipi, it stagnates as it goes. I would push for more of a solid structure, keep the melody mostly dominant, and let the chaos come more from how you work around the rest of it. If you want more of an apocalyptic feel, why not make it minor? I also agree about the pad changes and register shifts, it seems very out of place. I don't feel that the whole project needs to be scrapped, but it does need very, very heavy revision. If you're looking for chaos in music, I'd say to listen to the soundtrack/style from Artstyle: Aquia. It builds and gets nuts as it goes, taking a simple melody just built around a simple scale and turning it into a monstrosity with vibrant energy once you get to the end. That's chaos in the best way possible.

So far it's a nice sounding piece without anything notably jarring. The drums are pretty weak most of the way through, and the bassline seems very simple. It might just be a personal preference, but I think a slightly more inspired bassline might add life to the mix. The lyrics/vox and actual production value beyond midi renders will all dramatically change how it sounds regardless of any other changes, I'd say to record the vocals and go with the rest of the production around them if you're happy with the melody.

ScribbleNauts has a pretty good OST, most folks overlook it because the main themes come back in most other songs (like Katamari music does). I also agree with RETROMAN about ESWAT. That game was fun. Quake, as made awesome by Trent Reznor, is also often overlooked.

This is the start of a metal mix from the Jabberwock boss' theme from American McGee's Alice. I tried to incorporate as much of the original as possible, including an extended breakdown that uses the song's original trippy rhythm. Also, the first spoken words are from the games original fight scene. I appreciate all feedback. The Mix Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSGfmZwbO8M

Voted. (78910)

Happy Belated.

Wrote it for both a class and this. Not that it has to do with anything, it's about an ex of mine. Also, if you get the chance to read the memoir Loose Girl by Kerry Cohen, you'll understand what kind of person she is.

Went as myself with a shovel. Called it a gravedigger. Going to start building a Swamp Thing costume for next year.

I'm really digging this album. Possibly my new favorite from this site. Fantastic job, Joshua.

Is it more story or poem? If it's in verse then it's a poem, where as prose creates anything else (fiction or otherwise).

Will have a story on Sunday. Will be a sexy story. Oh yes.

God + Philosopher = Frightened philosopher. God + Heathen = Believer. Uranium + Anyone = Mutant Cthulhu + Any person besides God/Dracula = Dead something besides Cthulhu. I love this fucking game so much.

Voted, should have something fiction-y soon. I'm going to start doing it more consistently again (should keep writing anyway, considering my major/intended profession/commission occupation), hopefully will have a few pieces and I'll just pick the best of them.

Holy crap, I almost forgot about this. Classwork and 4 jobs kill me. I'll be voting by the end of the day, I swear.

I had the chance to see him a few months ago. I really wish I'd taken that chance. Rest in Peace, Les.

I never bothered to get the underwater materia, so the hardest boss of all time for me (as well as my gamer shame) is that I've never beat Emerald Weapon in Final Fantasy VII.

Another forum I post at is having a meet up there, and I can't do that either. I already do New York ComicCon, Ubercon, AWP, and when no one else from my magazine can cover it, NYAnimeFest/Big Apple Con. DragonCon sounds pretty big and all, it's just too far a commute and too much time off. Good luck though, hope your meet up is worth the time to organize.

That's when you punch the host in the face with a virus.

WC3 TD was my favourite. Played the DS homebrew version of it until my shoulder buttons were useless, then traded in for a DSi. I miss that game </3

"My Cat" by Jack Off Jill.

Hope I'm in on time.

Just realized I forgot to lower the synth after modifying it. I raised it so I could hear what I was entering and forgot to lower that, heh. I'll see what I can do about some of the other issues raised.

With a lot of the old games you honestly just didn't beat them. Or maybe that was just me. Armed with the turbo switch in the TG16, I only managed to beat a small handful of the games I had. Most of them were muscle memory and constant play to get as far as I did. Hard to say, really.

This mix made me smile. I can't offer too much criticism since I don't really know the source (didn't have Megaman as a kid), but I'm a sucker for any guitar music (played in a classical guitar ensemble in high school).
