  1. In nearly any field which requires any skill, be it music, programming, or something else, there's a noticeable difference between those who have a gift and have chosen to use it and those who just work hard. Putting time into something can only get you so far. Learning and practicing how to compose, for example, is not going to make you a genius composer. Having the right ingrained skills along with hard work will. Short of genetic modifications, an individual human isn't capable of everything to a high degree.

    Can everyone do everything at some basic level with enough practice? Short of genetic and physical defects, probably. I doubt there are many people, if any, who couldn't get a remix posted here. The difference is whether those people spend years learning things and need a ton of major revisions and resubmissions to get things right or whether they pick it up relatively quickly and their music is actually inspired.

    This kinda reminds me of my brother, I picked up the electric guitar, and I hardly ever used it, didnt put much time into it. a good 8 months went by and my brother picked up one, Ever since then he has had Amazing musical talent. Not onIy Guitar, but Bass, Drums and Keyboard. He practices daily, has probably thousands of dollars in equipment, and prolly just as much in his 5 guitars he owns, with his keyboard and drumset.

    More or less. He picked it up quickly first few weeks, was already playing riffs from tabs and learning to read music rather well, Now its his life. His Passion. I tottaly see what your saying too. Makes me wonder sometimes, Why didnt I apply my self? Back then the only answer was, I didnt care. Ever since I came to OCR. Dispite, not knowing my school had a muisc theroy class. I can fuze my love of computers and electronics into learning to make remixes. Which as soon as my MIDI Controller Gets here on like saturday, I can start going to town.

  2. Some people can't create something great. So they do the next best thing.

    I honestly dont think anyone CANT. It takes time and practice. Like learning C++ for me, im not good at it, but im getting better by putting time into it, and learning as much as i can. For thoes who dont want to put that time into and steal others work, its pathetic.

  3. He is indeed. Listen to his Jenova (Full) Looks like he just add something over it and used it. Blind did a great job on that song here, Looks like hes a fraud.

    Compare This kids Jenova (Full)

    To Blinds J-E-N-O-V-A.

    Very Simalar.

    To me, it just seems he switched around parts of the song, and may added some of his own in there aswell.

  4. Honestly, I've never had anybody "talk shit" to me in a gym in all my life, not even anybody trying to "correct" my pullups when I kip. Closest thing was 6 or so months ago, when some guy who clearly hardly goes to the gym (must have been faculty or staff...definitely too old to be a student) complains to me that I've been "using the pull-up bar for a long time" (which I was, and for good reason...doing the following workout: 1 mile run, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 air squats, 1 mile run [pullups, pushups, squats partitioned as desired/needed]). I laughed a little, because he clearly never learned gym etiquette. I apologized while still laughing, since I could tell he wouldn't respond well to anything else, and all I wanted to do was get back to my WOD.

    It's my opinion that if people are being pricks, they're just trying to cover up their own inadequacies, so if it happens best thing to do is just let it go. Again, in my experience, people just tend to not do that sorta thing in the gym, though I think a lot of people have the fear of being criticized in that sort of environment. What I have experienced, though, is that there are always a few people who are really helpful and if they see some serious problem in your form they're politely help you correct it (they're often quite cautious, since they're looking to help and not have it misconstrued as an attack).

    Hope it helps.

    That does help, Its the people in the Gym and in my school, that Will give me problems.

    But, i still dont know how to not get discouraged. If someone could give me an answer with that. would be well appreciated.

    I planned to go to the Gym tommorow, That plan got shot to shit, just went and picked up 2 bags of cough drops, sore throat, sinus's are getting me and whatnot. Came down with a cold. So best i can do now, is get healthy asap. :(

    I am making some ramen for my throat as I type too. =/

  5. Alright. Im going to ask just because Im clueless. I know a dozen or so people that say Code Geaas. or whatever it is, is like Awesome, I seen it on my TV Guide thing on Dish Network ONCE. couldnt watch it cause i was going out.

    What is it?

    Im a Bleach fan. So Code Geaas is unknown to me <_<

  6. I've just recently gotten to Melmond and the Earth Cave, and goddamn it's a pain in the ass, even with a knight and red mage both outfitted with silver swords. :\

    Yeah, there were times, when i just wanted to break the fucking game <_<. I would roam around for hours trying to find a unlisted cave, or town. just like "FUCK SAKE, WHERE THE HELL IS IT!!" I dont know what kept me into it, All i can imagine, is when i did find it, I had fun xD.

  7. I have always been nervous to lift weights in my town. Because of my small size. im like 5'6-5'7 and 115ish in Terrible shape. I Realized, I dont need to lose weight. I need to gain muscle.. Thing is, When im nervous. I can get mad easily. and fly off the handle on someone. I wouldnt care who they are. But im gonna make a goal. to get in shape like the days of when i wrestled.

    I now regret Quitting Wrestling..

    I have an incentive. I just need some way to not get discouraged. Because if some freshmen, talks shit to me. Shit will go down.

    Any help here? I just want to get in shape. but how can I get combfortable around the people, and the school gym it self?

  8. what

    that wasn't even an opinion

    Opinion.. Statement. Whatever. I like to speak my mind a little to much..

    More on Topic though,

    Is it just me, or does Final Fantasy 1. Just tell you were you go with out any direction, kinda just Drop you off and send you away to roam around mindlessly to find it, or having to talk to everyone to find it? Even then You sometimes are lost.

  9. Speaking of Red Alert. Im not interested in downloading the Red Alert 3 beta, cause with my internet, it will take like 7 hours...

    So if anyone is interested. PM me and i will hook you up with the beta, I do have Access. So Yeah. Just to throw that out there. Nobody on my msn wants it. so if you do. Contact me via pm.

  10. Breaking News!

    Nah, just kidding. :)

    We are well aware of that bit of information, Mr. CodinCody.

    I would Imagine so, im just very opinionated. xD.

    Now, I must clean this laptop out to get some new programs on it lmao, for some NES and SNES games ;p

  11. buy a $50 two octave midi controller off ebay and start going to town. You really do have to make an initial investment. You can't try to get by with free crap all the time. Save $50 and buy a keyboard. If you end up not liking music, then at least you will only have spent $50 instead of spending days after days of worrying about whether or not you would like it or not.

    example - http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-KORG-MC-1-MICROKONTROL-MIDI-STUDIO-CONTROLLER-NR_W0QQitemZ120302759216QQihZ002QQcategoryZ41784QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    edit: O wait do you have a DAW to work in?

    Im not an Ebay person, iv talked to my brother about a MIDI controller and he said he could get me a good one. he plays guitar, bass, drums. keyboard, he is an amazing artist. a DAW. I will re download FL. For somereason, AVG likes to pick the .exe as a virus O_o.

    Tell your family to fuck off and stop making useless posts. :)

    lmao. I got mis guided is all. I dont even have the link that Jeremy gave me to the keyboard, anymore.

    While you're at it, get yourself some clearance bin expired supermarket sushi to see if you like sushi.

    Get yourself a decent keyboard.

    Those retail for about $125-150 and are great.

    Also, that ebay auction you linked to has over 8 days left. That's gonna end MUCH higher.

    Thanks a bunch ;D. I dont like Ebay anyways. I buy Retail.

  12. haha why are you asking for good games when you would hace to onw them to download the rom

    Wow. I remember getting into a argument about racism with you. <_<. Although your comment makes not much sense to me.

    The thing is. You can get ALMOST any game/program, if you know were to look.

    The Ultima series would be worth taking a look at. The Wizardry series as well. Both take a LONG time to finish though...

    Also, the Dragon Quest Monsters series is worth taking a look at, though it's for the GBC/A/DS.

    I have heard of thoes two. Dragon quest mosters, I own. wasnt too fond of it either. I will def look into The Ultima series though.

    If a mod could, Merge these two posts?
