In the Renaissance, artists made their living off of their patrons. Here, we don't have patrons. You're right, we can make money with a job. But it's our OWN music and work. We can choose to or not to distribute our music for money. Why NOT take the money? It gives you more money so that you are encouraged to create better music, and for some of the more perfectionist/technical people, they can spend the money on new recording equipment, samples, synthesizers, etc. It's all right to require money for a service. Remember, they don't have to buy your music. There are plenty of people who will make cool music for free. :/ In this situation, compare music to video games. If you applied what you said to video games, would it still hold? No, it would shake and you would take it back. You don't need music? You don't need video games either. We don't have to buy either of them, yet we do because we want to. It costs money to make a video game, right? That's why they need money. It also costs money to make music. Samples, synths, equipment, programs, etc. Even if they don't need much money for all that stuff, they can still choose to make some extra cash if they want to.

I was intentionally doing that because I like ruining the sarcasm. It is you, my good man, who needs a tomato in da face. :tomatoface:

Good idea, man! ...Not.

But it's a run on sentence.

Kirby Air Ride: The game is sparkly and a bit cute. There are a lot of different types of racing vehicles, ("stars"). It's a great racing game with nice music and fun abilities/powers.

I just linked Knights of The Round with HP Absorb. xD For Jenova Synthesis i had counter linked with deathblow. xD

I don't really mean to call him out or make fun of him or say he has no skill, but isn't that more reason he should learn to compose his own parts? I mean it's his remix, he can do what he wants, but he said he is a beginner, I'm just offering some advice that says that he should become a better musician by composing his own stuff (not original compositions, maybe just original parts for remixes like this) before doing something as challenging as a successful mash up. I never said he HAD to, I said he should. And BTW I didn't say mash-ups weren't music, like I explained above it's better for a musician to develop through composing his own material. In my opinion, anyway, because in my experience that was what helped ME develop as a musician. The more I kept starting new songs and making parts for them, the more I came to understand how they were to fit together. Plus I have Shariq. He's not my teacher, just sort of a guy to ask for advice. It's always nice to ask around the more experienced people and try out their techniques for yourself, and mend it into your own style. In my case, I'm sort of branching out from Shariq's style. If you want to be completely self taught, you should also listen to music (besides video game music). But people can learn from mashups too, but it helps to know some music theory before doing a mashup. Knowing basics like key, tempo, and time signatures are essential. I never learned from mashups, and I can't imagine learning time sigs/tempos/chords/keys from them, but hey- everyone's different.

Nice. Retains the jazzy feel of the original. If they made Sonic 3&Knuckles HD Remix, this should def. be the theme for Hydrocity zone.

If I could get my hands on red contact lenses, I would be: A Ninja With A Cloak And A Lightsaber And Scary Red Cat Eyes

Emo means you're so depressed and emotional that you hurt (usually cutting your wrist is what everyone expects from emo people) yourself intentionally. If you don't hurt yourself, you're not emo. You're just depressed.

Thanks guys. :/

I kinda have to agree, I only played FFVII once (just recently, like this recent summer) and I pretty much got the story down. Maybe you were just too distracted by the empty/dark/depressing parts to pay attention to the story.

I thought Sephiroth was controlling Cloud. Could it be that Jenova was controlling Sephiroth to control Cloud?

Uncharted 2: It has nice graphics. It has nice gameplay. It has nice *insert other good quality here*. *insert rating here*/10

Not likely, because he ordered Zack to be killed and he knows Zack is dead.

Trust me, if I had a decent graphics card and a decent processor, AND if I could convince my dad to pay 15 a month for it (which I would have a slim chance of doing) I could, but I can't, because I lack the age for a credit card and a decent gaming computer. I actually wouldn't go nuts by grinding bots because I would be too busy marveling. Just by watching Shariq I get all excited because the chaining skills and the flying and the graphics are sweet.

Eh... I'm only 13, I got no business losing my life to WoW JUST yet... xD

That is both hilarious and creepy. xD If I was surrounded by spambots I would go nuts. I'd rather be alone...

If you can't solo in an MMORPG and/or you DON'T have a thick skin, it's not worth playing. When I played Tabula Rasa, the community was actually pretty cool and a vast majority of them on the server I played were fine. Now when I played WoW demo, I found myself going solo most of it because I didn't like the community. Going solo is a great way to get past a terrible community.

Probably cuz Sephiroth changed the President's memory too. :/

First of all... I don't mean to sound rude, but... you should get rid of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." You should learn to how to make music, not make mashups (mashups= mashing songs together) But the song HBFS doesn't match Tetris in terms of chords at all. You had some great stuff going, but HBSF pretty much drowned out and ruined the great stuff you had going under it.

Uh... no. It's a typo.

Uh, lemme think about it... no. It's a typo, get over it. xD

I love it, I actually like the the high frequencies! They sorta pierce your mind, but then they just sit there and don't hurt much more.
