  1. Romanization of Japanese is a bit tricky and occasionally open to interpretation. But it's no where near as bad as the Hanyu Pinyin system of Mandarin Chinese. Really it doesn't matter much anyway because native Japanese have trouble keeping a common roman spelling for many words.

    Yes there could be a y in jyuu, if you were typing Japanese on a keyboard you would have to use the y to get the right kanji because the kanji is read as "jyu".

    The u at the end of yo is a mistake.... unless you were elongating the "o" sound. Alot of spoken japanese in various manga is written that way.

    So it's legit.

    More sega related remixes please!

  2. Just to kind of go with what everyone else is saying,

    Stay open to learning different styles, of everything, then you'll find that your favorite aspects of each will start to bleed over to create something your own.

    Is originality even possible nowadays? I don't think it is. Try to google an original thought. You'll see not only was it thought of years ago but some shmuck even made a dubstep version of it.

  3. Thanks Roz.

    I'm looking for anything that I can just hold in a different position and still get good control from. Having my arm extended seems to be part of the problem.

    Right after I made this post though I did find something pretty cool called Enable Viacam from sourceforge. Using my webcam it moves the pointer based on where I am looking. The sad thing is it's nowhere near usable for what i need it for but it is kind of fun to surf with.

  4. Lately my tendonitis has been flaring up alot and it's really been killing my studio time. I was wondering if anyone has been using any alternate means to control their DAW that would be easier on the wrist. I've tried using control MK and a gamepad but the lack of precision is extremely frusterating when i'm trying to operate in Sonar.

    Right now i am looking into something like these

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1KT0EB8019

    but still have yet to hear some good things about them. Plus i'm worried that the excessive thumb movements would still aggrevate the injury.

    Does anyone have any setup suggs that would limit the need for using a mouse?

    Thanks!

  5. When I was in college i read a lot of biographies from various composers. My favorite ones were probably Holst and Mendelssohn. Seeing how they lived was fascinating back then and if only the cost of living weren't so high these days i'd be doing the same thing.

    But i gotta have my DAW. Which needs a house. Which i'm renting, Which needs electricity too. Gotta have some software. To replace the musicians that are no longer needed. Stick my food budget in there somewhere. and since i have gone this far why not play some games too? Steam wintersale you say? Looks like i'm set. .

    Before i forget, Brahms was and still is, the friggen' man.

  6. I liked Phantasy Star 3 the most. Only because I played it first out of all the games in the series. Good thing too otherwise i'm sure i would have hated it like most other PS players.

    I played through the first one a long time ago and was so scarred from it i don't think i have the courage to load it up again. Not only was it extremely difficult but i would get stuck in those caves for hours on end. I had to graph every single cave as i strolled through them just to figure out how to get through.

    Then there was dark falz...

  7. SEGA called out OCR awhile back over the lack of Picovision support so i think it would be fair for OCR to call out SEGA over the lack of a remix competition for Phantasy Star.

    Tekken did it.

    Halo did it.

    Some other crap did it i'm sure.

    So why not Phantasy Star?

    It's only BALANCING OUT THE UNIVERSE. Nothing personal or anything.

    Unless you want to talk about not finishing Shenmue or not giving Sonic Generations more recreated levels, or the banning of all foreigners from Phantasy Star Online 2, even the japanese speaking ones, for a victimless hack that could have come from anywhere. Then it's personal.

    But let's not focus on the negative stuff. Let's do something for the Phantasy Star Anniversary anyway.

  8. http://phantasystar.sega.jp/psportal/25thanniversary/illustfestival/

    So it seems the good people at Sega O' J are having an art festival for Phantasy Star in celebration of the series 25 years (with roughly 17 of those years without a main entry in the series).

    If you can draw that's great, go ahead and enter, but as for those of us that can't i think the exclusion of a music option is a glaring one.

    Please someone from OCR run with an idea for this anniversary! Maybe we can mix flood SOJ somewhere around 1-16-13 which is the deadline for the art-of-the-drawing-kind submissions.

  9. I haven't played Megaman since elementary school and damn this game is hard! I couldn't get above the second screen on Ryu's stage and Chun Li thoroughly whomped my ass. (though that was because the dpad on my controller is broken and i only successfully slid under her half the time. Who would buy a $15 controller with the name of THRUSTMASTER anyway?)

    I'm excited to show my support for Darkstalkers but I am seriously thinking of boycotting this stupid capcom crap of rereleasing everything. I already bought the collection for my PSP I think that should count!

  10. I'm getting it just to show some support even though i was never the biggest mega man fan in the world.

    Good chance that Megaman will become just another one of Capcom's beloved games that they decided to kill off for no reason.

    Darkstalkers, Cyberbots, Star Gladiator (Plasma Sword).... Resident Evil :)

  11. 日本語をかくことはむずかしいい。でも日本語をかくことはとってもすごいいです!

    ソニクは゛とよとにしはグランド.コッラーボレシオン。”といっています。

    (please be kind for my japanese is atrocious. :/)

    そうでござる :)

    日本語は何年べんきょうしていますか? 私が八年ぐらいべんきょうしていました。

    まい日がんばります!

    Temporal Distortions/Divide is more conflict oriented. Which means i like it. but i'm open to anything.

  12. My vote is for Temporal Divide.

    Last week of classes then finals for me. Can't wait until it's all over then i can just focus on work and music. I'll try to get you an update of mine before MAGfest though due to it being the holidays i can't make a guarantee on that. :)
