I <3 this compo.

US: dhsu.ocremix Thanks, Conan, you're the bomb!

Yeah, there's no faster way to take the fun out of a subject than citing peer-reviewed sources.

Indeed! Totally have "Survival Instinct" on repeat right now.

It's my understanding that there actually is some HRTF kwakery involved in the CMSS-3D algorithms. True, the effect is not as dramatic, but I wasn't expecting it it to be perfect, since everyone's head/ear configuration is different. Still, it's pretty close to what I was looking for...if you turn it on while listening to music, it literally sounds as if it jumped to the speakers in front of you.

Welcome, Sleepy Dream! Don't worry about your English, music is the universal language. We have members from all over the world, so we're guaranteed to have at least someone from the same place.

Canabalt and Auditorium are games I really like that happen to have iPhone versions.

Thanks for the reply, prophet. I ended up buying an X-Fi XtremeGamer on impulse for $30 on eBay, only afterwards reading the horror stories about people getting horrible sound quality and static due to bad Windows 7 drivers and/or shoddy capacitors. Fortunately, it seems I'm one of the lucky ones -- I've had 0 problems so far, and I'm pretty satisfied with the surround effect. A nice perk as well is that now I can use ALchemy to re-enable surround in the DirectSound3D games that got screwed by the switch to OpenAL in Windows 7. Thanks again for the help. Hopefully this info helps someone else out someday!

Seconded. The c200 series is excellent as well; the screen is just smaller, which makes it hard to play Doom.

This about sums it up for me.

Seriously, I miss E-Bison.

Since I don't have the money or space for a 5.1 setup, I've been doing some research on getting simulated surround on headphones. With the right algorithms, it can be done to an extremely convincing degree, as illustrated by . From what I've seen so far, the biggest two competing algorithms are Dolby Headphone and Creative's CMSS-3DHeadphone, which are available via special hardware, i.e. sound cards or headphones with integrated processing hardware like these. I was tempted to get a pair of the headphones when they were $70, but I've started to lean towards the sound card route because I can use any pair of headphones with it and therefore could upgrade my buds/cans later.So my questions to anyone who might know are as follows: 1) Is there any alternative that would work with onboard sound (specifically of the Realtek variety)? It would most likely use software processing but I could deal with a framerate hit if it means I can hear where shots and footsteps are coming from. 2) If not, what's the cheapest sound card I could get that has this functionality? I've heard prophet mention several times that this is one of the only reasons to get a discrete sound card nowadays, so I'm calling you out prophet!

Wow, really tempted to do this. Kinda sucks that the PS3 is reflowed but the games and GH accessories are worth more than $400 by themselves...

I thought we were gonna stop getting ports a for a bit, but I don't mind having Kimahri in the game. Illusions will rape you in 3 seconds.

The second digit matters a lot - 4500s are low-end cards. The 9500GT is still considered the budget card in the 9000 series, but it's roughly on par with a 4600 Radeon.

The thread title is kind of misleading...it sounds like you're not looking so much to expand your horizons as you are looking for stuff similar to what you've enjoyed so far. So to that end, I recommend and E.S. Posthumus's Cartographer album (it even has a second CD with instrumental arrangements for people who don't like vocals).

lol Chipper is fun. Lots of shenanigans you can pull off with a 3000 range mini-stun nuke. The new quit sound is win. Edit: I guess it's either random or they changed it back with the patch. When I clicked quit that time the announcer went "R-R-R-RAGEQUIT."

Just listened to it on Facebook and I gotta say I'm pretty impressed too. Has hints of Chrono Cross in some areas and Metroid in others. Glad everything worked out for you with Sagetellah too. Congrats on a great album!

Proposing that the thread title be changed to "Heroes of Newerth Thread 2: Electrician Boogaloo."

Hahaha, brilliant.

Great stuff, man. Really enjoyed the Weezer remix. Also I might be interested in one of these free Paris singles.

Bah, it shouldn't count if you have assists.

Man, this would've been posted 10 years ago, inevitably becoming a ReMix classic by now.

ROFL Worth it.

It's...beautiful. And happy birthday, dude.
