The first barrier for me was understanding that individual instruments really mean nothing.. gotta hear the mix as a single entity. So individual instruments might sound really weak or boring on their own but help the mix overall. I came from a non-musical background so all my energy is poured into developing my ear, not so much "techniques". Technical skills come easy to me, and most other people once you just sit down and do it.

A big part of what makes a score so impactful is how it compliments the story. A really good score usually drives the story. So you can see how they sort of tie in together and depend on each other to become "grammy-worthy" It's not a written rule obviously, but to judge a score by itself when it was tied to visuals would be strange.

Whoever makes that argument needs beaten with the blunt end of Stevo's beard. The market for artistic, story-driven games is so small that a separate category won't have enough nominees to be taken seriously. The dream is for video games to grow up, but we're not there yet.

Can Journey beat Trent Reznor and Hans Zimmer? I don't know, but I love Journey. Favorite game of this entire generation.

Honestly the older you get, the harder it is to get friends together, unless you have a huge circle of friends who happen to love the same type of games. Which I uh... nope. Living in rural areas is not helpful either.

I would care much more about online gaming if it was with a group of friends. The fun factor is only limited with strangers. Imagine a cooperative RPG with people that don't shank you for loot. Heavenly..

If you guys haven't seen the Wii U Game Grumps episodes on YouTube,

Yeah, this is pretty good. No love? Chips on the way out? I dunno. I like all the trancey tracks. bLiNd's, halc's, and DJ Cutman's stand out for me. Nice work.

Dunno about you, but I laughed last. His last name was Butts.

edit: ooh, way too slow.

By "humble bundle" THQ really means liquidation of digital assets. Ah.. yes. That makes sense. I stand by it.

I made the same argument to him, but the specs say different on paper. I dunno.

My friend got this and threw me his Saints Row code because his computer is meh Yes, I just came here to brag

I guess he only reviews the biggest of the big anymore. I miss the reviews for terrible, obscure games.

I've never played a Silent Hill, Resident Evil, nothing.. but ZombiU is going to be my first game. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

I'm still not getting the "but the design is pretty cool" idea. Does the texture and shape of the plastic not resemble those ugly boxes Kinekts were sold in? It's really a throwback to 90s kids' toy design. It's that nasty bumpy texture.. heugh

Looks like a container for colored pencils.

Oooohhhh, IT'S BLIND!! Sign my briefs!!

That looks good enough for me. Thanks.

No, I said donate. I just want them somewhere where people actually look for loops. OK, but no one will ever find it unless I promote it, and I don't want to promote. That's why Soundcloud is not ideal. I just want it "out there." I just thought there would be a big, popular place for free beats, not full compositions, but maybe not. Loops can be used in the background to compliment video or whatever, not just producing,

Soundcloud isn't a very good platform for getting discovered though. Plus I already have a Soundcloud and my subscribers, however few, expect full tracks when I post things. I wish Freesound was less lame and allowed these sort of things :/
