Ramaniscence

Man, I got the Nintendo Channel this morning and used it to download the Ninja Gaiden demo. The demo itself is no longer than the Metroid Prime: Hunters one, but man was that game cool for the 5-10 mins I got to play it on Normal difficulty (I unlocked a harder one, but I had to leave for school) Getting a chance to actually DOWNLOAD DS demos makes me a very happy boy.

You don't SEE it because you're not using a good enough ID3 tagging program, but it's there. I do a similiar thing with the RTS mixes using the catalog number instead of the track number. Why? Because most people CAN'T find it, and thus can't change it. Back in the day Prot made a program called OCRecollections that would crawl the site and check your OCReMix library up against an XML file that's generated by the server and download the songs you didn't have. Problem was if you changed any of the days or the file name it didn't really have a way to find it. With this, hidden, tag in the files there's a way for the song to be identified even if someone has changed all the visible tags and renamed it, so it'll still show up in soemthing like this AND won't be anything noticeable. Why would you particularly want all the OCReMixes sorted by track number? I really don't care what order they were posted on the site short of something for the backend. I'm just lookin' for game, artist, and song titles. The only REAL changes I could see making are making putting write-ups into the comments tags, lyrics into the lyrics tags, album art, and album artists. Anyway, you'd probably have to download Helium to see a lot of these tags. I've never used it, but I've seen it and the tagging on that thing is pretty extensive. What I would do, because I have it, is just load everything into Tag&Rename to check for overall consistency, which I'm pretty sure for the most part is OK, and then crawl the files individually through Helium to make sure ALL the required fields are filled in.

You're gonna have to be a bit more specific? lol Unless you mean the Tales of Symphonia mix not having a screenshot, because I haven't found one I like for it yet.

Ahahahhaa SO good!

It's hard to believe on this day 3 years ago a little brainstorm of mind became a reality. Looking back on it now, I'd have to say that ThaSauce has, in different respects, both fallen short of my expections and greatly exceeded them. Our userbase is constantly growing, we're poised to make 1,000,000 hits within the next few month, but still there's a lot of room for improvement and a LOT of work to be done. The first thing I'd like to give you guys today is 3 new mixes up on ReMix:ThaSauce. They are 'Escape into Twilight' from NiGHTs by Skrypnyk, 'In Search of Light' from Mega Man X4 by long-time OverClocked ReMixer and Judge DarkeSword, and 'Pixelated Tales' from Tales of Symphonia by newcomer Showroom Dummy. I'm extremely pleased in how far R:TS has come, and we will continue to bring you guys excellent works from artist around the community that don't quite fit into OCReMix's guidelines for whatever reason. You will, however notice that R:TS has been rather stagnant. That's partly to blame on my part, but it's largely because we simply don't have the submissions coming in. As of today we've barely recieved ANY submissions, save ones we've asked people for personally, all year. If you visit and enjoy ReMix:ThaSauce spread the word! The only way we can continue to provide you guys with music is if we have music to provide, and the only way we're going to get more is if more people know. So if you know someone who's remix can't get on OCR for whatever reason and has never heard of R:TS, be sure to send them are way as we'd be MORE than happy to have them. Another thing I wanna mention is shirts. The initial run of shirts sold out a LOT quicker than I had ever anticipated. Since then I've been working on ways to get enough money for a second run AND working feverishly on a new design (a work in progress of which is displayed above). I'm glad to announce that as of today I'm am working toward the step of completing the logo and readying the order. This means that I NEED TO KNOW what sizes to order. If you want one of the shirts, please reply with the size you want. And remeber the bigger the order is for me, the cheaper the shirts are for everyone. I plan on updating this post throughout the day, so be sure to check back later. And thanks to everyone for their continued support. I really couldn't do any of this without you guys.

TO be entirely honest, if I downloaded a full OCR mirror again (my old one was lost in a dead hard drive) I could PROBABLY fix all inconsistencies in a little under a day. Maybe even a matter of hours. Picking out things that're blatantly wrong is easy, and mass editting everything is even easier. But like Larry said, you're all ignoring the BIGGEST issuere, imho. http://www.thasauce.net/modules.php?name=NewsTwo&file=article&sid=674 ^ AlbumArt tag TOTALLY fucks up media libraries. I'm going to defend DJP in this, as I've done the same thing on ReMix:ThaSauce. In this day and age EVERYTHING has to be entirely intuitive and idiot proofed. You can't assume the average internet user who downloads an OCReMix off of LimeWire is going to think to open up Google or Yahoo! or something and search for it. You have to assume that the second they have to put actual effort forth on their part and do some sort of "Sherlock Holmes" investigating, that they're going to lose interest pretty fast and decide not to pursue it any further. Putting the URL right in the album's field ensure that it'll be clearly displayed in most, if not all, major media players by default (meaning it'll display SOMEWHERE when just playing the song, and not behind the scenes under some "More info" button, thusly hand feeding the listener the information. On R:TS I even go as far as to fill in the URL and "Buy this CD" links so that it makes it even more idiot proof. Oh, and AlbumArt, too. But apparently no one wants to help with that effort...

No one said Cooking Mama? That's practically the only game 2 of my girl friends ever PLAY. They're obsessed with perfected it >__<

I don't think I've EVER killed my G5 iPod. In fact, I watched all of the first 2 seasons of House over the course of 2 of my classes. My classes are generally 3-4 hours long, with breaks. I arguably finished 2-3 episodes each class. I actually watched all of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix on my iPod one day during an animation class. Same goes for Pirates of Silicon Valley and Office Space. So battery life can't be THAT much of a problem.

I would say that even Sonic 3 Sonic is lightyears beyond Sonic 2 sonic in means of animations and general design. Just making the Sonic 2 design less jagged, when it's already been improved upon tenfold, seems like a step backward to me, but that's your prerogative so whatever. To be more accurate, what I'm proposing is using Mega Man 7 Megaman.

And I never said it wasn't, I just said I didn't like it. And apparently I'm not allowed to not like something over something now a days.

Why? Because I think the character design now a days is more interesting than a circle with eyes? You vectorized old Sonic, big whoop. He still looks like 1992 design, just prettied. http://purenintendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/sonicrusha.jpg To me, this Sonic looks WAY less shitty. I'm not saying Sega's gameplay mechanics have taken huge strides forward, because they haven't. But there's nothing wrong with the up-to-date character designs of him.

Needs less circle head Sonic, and moar Sonic Adventure/Sonic rush sonic.

Expect an update sometie this week.

I do <3 me some Vimeo. Quality comparison: http://www.vimeo.com/737389 Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_services

Hmmm, they SHOULD all work. I mean, that's the directory listing for the directory they're in... Alsoo: That's all the tracks I had up to...November '07. It still hasn't 'officially' released...so your (or anyone) track can be added whenever I'm less lazy than I am right now =P

I have to go to class, so I can't say anything TOO much but... I somewhat agree with the whole "brown" thing...desaturation and over use of "earthy tones" is getting really annoying, but doesn't nessacarily make a game bad, and I don't particularly think it targets the audience. Example: Far Cry is one of the most over saturated games I have ever seen.

Boobs still need work

This is pretty much the most important thing I get from Windows 7. "We're rebuilding in OS from the ground up in no time flat!" Given how long it took them to make Vista, and how well that went, and how long it's been for them to decide that Vista isn't going to work out and they have to build a new OS from scratch, how much will they actually have at the time of release? What's to say it's not going to be horrible? Does no one remember all those awesome things about Vista that were going to change computing that never made it out of Alpha?

I've made a few revisions:

That's about right. PS: Stolen. Edit: AND I just closed that file without saving it

The point was, small boobs doesn't nessacarily constitute "realistic proportions" and even in the case that it DID tan's don't nessacarily have realistic proportions as it is. If anything there proportions are exaggerated in many cases. And, honestly, what's everyone's problems with bigger boobs? No one's saying she needs a D cup, they're simply suggesting that a girl of her size might look better with slightly larger breast. All of a sudden everyone gets up in arms about boobs.
