  1. One request.

    Please take "Metal" out of the description. Or at least add a -y to it.

    Synth-y for sure. Metal-y. Ok. Metal? nope.

    ;-)

    Just messing around. Sorta. Good luck this round for the WCRG!

    I'll post a better review once I get a little more time with it but right off the bat the leads are kinda killing my ears. Honestly, I think they are too loud. They cover up the rhythm....synths alot. I like the arrangement though and the attempt to chiptune some metal. Just those fake guitars...

    If you went for this type of sound you would have been my new hero.

    Should be a good round though. Can't wait to hear everyone's work.

  2. I really want to play this game but I feel like it's a paid MMO in a world where MMOs are systematically going F2p. Interested to hear what others think on that. Personally I can't afford it so sadly I have to sit this out. But I will probably end up watching the crucial story on youtube, which is a terrible way to distribute a main-number FF.

    F2P is a cancer of the industry. I've been able to play the beta on occasion and I really can't wait to play something that people care about playing again.

    Just wish I had the time that I used to have. :(

  3. First case was in highschool, minor overuse in my right wrist from practicing too much

    Severe overuse wrist injury my second year at college, (if you are a cello player/teacher DO NOT TEACH BASSISTS!!!!) took several years to heal and I don't think it ever came back 100%.

    Tore a few muscles in my wrist and jacked up the tendons during a local kyokushin tournament. Took almost a year to heal.

    Result: Can't play anything anymore for more than 20 minutes at a time without pain. (Which is longer than it used to be just a couple of years ago)

    Pay attention to your nutrition and make sure you're getting everything you need or healing will never happen for you. In my case I've had to invest in several Powerwebs and I think they have helped me regain the use of my butchered wrists. Tendons take alot longer to heal than bone.

    Where do you work? I used to do physical labor in warehouses and grocery stores and I honestly wish I never did it. Overuse injuries were common enough just from that crap, then I would go home and practice.

  4. How is everyone doing on their goals? Hopefully getting all kiinds of gainz~

    I successfully made my cut this year. Here's a picture

    Enjoy 'cause August is Garpocalypse's Cheescake, Brotwurst and Beer month.

    It really sucks to see my effort melt away like that, but it was a hard lesson learned about how NOT to train. Don't push it if you feel pain (not discomfort, but pain), folks, especially during a biomechanically unsound movement like an isolation lift. I had a ton of positive momentum with my gains, and a few unnecessary barbell biceps curls just wasn't worth the risk.

    Bruce Lee gave himself a crippling injury by Goodmorning-ing his body weight first thing in the morning before any warmups. He then later realized that he didn't need any weight at all for the excercise. Just the bar was enough.

    Since I don't have health insurance right now I am being really careful about how much weight i lift. Sorry this information is coming too late for you but I have been having some crazy success this summer lifting lighter weight to failure than lifting bigger. Forcing your fast twitch fibers to work by fatiguing the slow twitch fibers first seems to work really well and with little chance for injury. Check out the DTP program on Bodybuilding.com.

    Can't surgeons fix themselves anyway? I'm pretty sure I saw it in Iron Monkey. This Doctor, Surgeon type guy got really messed up and fixed himself. It only took a montage to do it so I think you should be able to do something.

  5. *fart noise*

    There's a joke in here somewhere. I'm not gonna look for it. Hopefully it's not on me.

    :)

    Why can't people talk about how awful my track was with the out of sync wobble thingy :(

    Sincerely,

    ~A depressed masochist

    Don't worry, being out of sync was only part of what was wrong with those wobbles.

    There, feel better?

    But seriously thanks for stepping up and taking that week when esperado and i couldn't. Mixing two weeks in a row should be worth bonus point consideration.

  6. It's OUT and it's on ITUNES!!!

    eeeeyyyYYYYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    If you liked Brandon Strader's remix of the Skyrim Theme you're going to love THIS WHOLE FREAKING EP.

    It's 5 bucks and it's called Waldschrein

    Skyrim Theme is called Himmelsrand

  7. We should ban all popular forms of music, VGM and gamers are a niche underground audience and it should stay that way! All of the remixes should be Epic Folk Melodic Death-like Power Speed Metal, traditional Epic Folk Melodic Death-like Power Speed Metal not that mainstream Alestorm shit. :-)

    Working on it!

  8. One crit if i may.

    That section at 1:31, strings are never never going to be playing right on top of the beat with the pianist. Unquantize that asap. Actually that could probably be said about the whole thing.

    As far as the brass goes the sequencing needs to be alot more dynamic. Incorporate some swells and blast a few accents and it will be the most exciting part of what you have. Think about the breath of a brass player, the strain on their faces as they play your part, and i think you'll have it.

    On a side note this really reminds me of Iron Storm on the Saturn.

  9. Fellow MMA fan?

    I'll teach you all about stereoization if you'll be my MMA buddy. Please do this one thing for me. I'm so obsessed with the sport, but none of my friends have ever been that in to it. I NEED AN OUTLET :o :O :o

    You had an outlet at MAG. But you didn't want to fight me...

    Not even at Street Fighter...
