    Earphones

    I've been using a pair of Shure E2c's for about a year now. They're the kind that loop around your ear before you stick them, so I was kinda worried about them breaking after bending them so much, but so far I haven't run into any problems. But then again, I'm definitely not the heavy-duty user you seem to be, so take that as you will.

    I also do think that it's sad that a lot of 'no resubs' don't take the time to fix up otherwise awesome mixes.

    But they said "no resub"!

    OC ReMix 5.0 is essentially being worked on, in other words. It will leave some processes and issues unaddressed, is virtually guaranteed to get a knee-jerk negative reaction from some, will certainly leave room for further improvement, and will most likely be rolled out in pieces, not all at the same time. Spoilers? As it stands at the moment, we'll probably be killing the sidebar. We will expect - nay, demand - a moment of silence from all, if indeed it is honorably discharged. We'll work on enhancing search & filtering capabilities and moving the quick search to a more prominent location. I hate buzzwords and the whole "2.0" moniker is way overplayed, but some of those core concepts - usability, simplicity, and grace - will be part of what I'm shooting for, design-wise. I'd like to make chiptunes easier to find, so we'll probably be moving those around a bit. I'd like to kill our non-SEO, proprietary DHTML drop-down menus in favor of something home-grown and more powerful. We still need to integrate the workshop skills/collab info with artist profiles, and vBulletin blogs will still happen in some form or another.

    Also the whole thing will be procedurally generated by a combination of XSLT, 6NF database schemas, and pixie dust.

    Ah, I finally finished it...turns out it glitched out on me the first time so that the C.P.U. didn't do anything. :P

    So yeah, a couple theories I've read so far are

    either he dies of suffocation before reaching the surface, or he was actually dead the entire time (notice his life bar is empty after falling into the water)

    Dale sold me a pair of Shure E2Cs a while back and they're pretty great. I didn't like them at first because they didn't sound a whole lot better than my other pairs and they hurt my ears. But then I replaced the rubber earpieces with the orange foam ones, and the difference was night and day. With those inserts, you're pretty much guaranteed to be wearing them properly (it took me like 5 minutes of fiddling with the rubber ones to get it right) so you get awesome sound, and since they're foam they pretty much double as earplugs. I've mowed the lawn with them and they block out as much sound as actual earplugs, AND I get to listen to NPR! :D

    Side note: Skullcandy is having a 50% off sale on their 2008 products.
