I think $5 for a game like Centipede is grossly overpriced, but since I would only use the XBLA version, it'd be 240 points for me. What's that, $2? Still seems like a pretty hefty price to pay for Centipede. It's not like you get a lot out of that game.
Why couldn't they just have it be free? The emulator and a thousand NES roms is small enough to fit on a 64mb memory card.

Recently announced at CES2010
Is full of win. I just hope they don't try to charge 400points ($5) per game... Discuss.

Aww, Fishy... well I look forward to your remixes, of course. It's a little odd to lose 2 judges within a week. Good luck with all of your future endeavors, my good man.

I'm sorry for how blunt my critique was. There's a big difference between writing for a zine and writing here, where the artists actually read what you have to say.
As for guitars being recorded the "proper way", I am really just not a big fan of the amp sim and the sound you get out of them. I prefer the half-stack or full stack with microphones recording guitars, but I realize that isn't financially feasible for most people. At any rate, you can disregard what I said about the amp-sim tone, but I still think the song would have benefited from multiple rhythm tracks.
Looking past the tones and number of tracks though, the arrangement is very well done and the song is a good adaptation and very enjoyable.
Sorry and thanks for understanding.
-
The arrangement is very well done and creative, but this is another boxy amp-sim sound. The song would have benefited greatly from having guitars recorded the proper way. Also recording the rhythm part properly. Instead of a single rhythm in the center channel, you could have doubled it and had it in stereo. It's strange listening to a rock song with one guitar track in the center; it has a weird mono effect. The leads are panned hard left and right and do mask this flaw a little bit.
It's a good arrangement, but has guitar production issues.

I remember always thinking the girl dog in "Lady and the Tramp" was the tramp. I was a kid back then. But for some reason I knew what tramp meant. And that female dog was it. But then I pondered why they would name the boy dog "Lady".
Eh, it's still a little confusing to this day.

You ruined FFVII and now this??.. how dare you even touch such a great soundtrack like that? it's one of the best soundtracks by Mitsuda.. you just ruined it with your lame originality.. why can't you make the recognizable remix?? don't try to be original by adding non-fitting chords or any bad sample choices.. please stop doing it!!!!!
I'm sorry, it was my first actual remix and I didn't know what I was doing and I didn't put nearly enough time into it... Sorry avaris. I'd remake the song if it would make any difference at all today.
I still don't completely understand why you included it with the production issues being so bad (something that everyone always points out so it's pretty common knowledge at this point)

Nightmare Before Christmas teaches that you should never try anything new or attempt anything beyond your satatus or caste, because you will make everyone sad and screw it all up anyway.
But then, it's a Tim Burton movie, so maybe that really IS the message he wanted to convey.
Or if you try to start a revolution, the government will bomb your sleigh.

Well excuse me, The Damned. I don't think I even knew what rape was fifteen years ago, so presumably you are either OLD or had a very troubled childhood. OLDIE.
How many kids drowned after watching the Little Mermaid?
Wished they could be part of that world.
Plus Arial was wearing suction-cup clam bra. There were no straps on that thing.

Any thoughts on Battlefield 1943? The discount is nice, (560 pts instead of 1200) but I worry that it'll get old fast, or nobody will be online.
I dunno but I'll get it for that price and if you do too, then we can play together if nothing else.
-
i totally grabbed it. anyone up for playing when i'm back from mag?
Sure, buddy, but I've got to warn you -- I kill everyone at the end of each castle. I am extremely hard to beat.
Special ops too please.
-
Wow, I wasn't expecting to see this. Well you've got a lot going for you, Andrew! Looking forward to your (and Jill's) future musics.
-
Today is Castle Crashers for 560 Points. If you don't get it, you hate fun.
I already bought Castle Crashers like a year ago for $15 on amazon.
This is a pretty great deal though for $7, for sure. -
Yeaaaah... the deal today was so horrid I didn't even bother to come update it until what it is now, almost 3am. If you 'really' want it I bet it's still up. They don't change it on the eastern time zone.
But yeah, Batman Returns rent for 80MSP? What kind of sick, twisted, demented gift is that for #3? There's 3 days left and they give us Batman Returns.
-
If you like it then you should have put a ring on it
Congrats Tweek
(any more single ladies here?)
-
i should keep an eye on this. i'd have bought uno rush and worms and the free theme already (i still have last year's winter theme as my theme).
Yeah, I got Worms. (hardy har har)
Last year's winter theme was the best. The new years theme is pretty crap. It is way too busy and actually somewhat ugly too. The 2008 winter theme is just sooo nice. I'm actually thinking of switching back.
-
Just 4 days left folks, and a particular good deal today that I bought myself.. All Fallout 3 DLC for 400 MSP each
-
So there is no recording of it because of the recording fail?
-
Really glad you liked your stuff Mahaboo. :]
I've been waiting and waiting for my secret santa to reveal who they are... Who!

After the initial printing or whatnot, you could try amazon.com mp3 downloads... Xerol has one set up and you probably heard about it already, but http://www.createspace.com/
I'm thinking about trying it too
https://www.createspace.com/Products/CD/ <-- make CDs too
If you make the CD at that site, they'll send you a free proof now, and you can self-order up to like 500 copies for $2.97 (PER CD)... though shorter orders like 49 copies cost more, $4.95
If you have trouble finding all the donations you need for a "serious" printing, you could maybe try something like that
-
Hooray! It's finally here! Merry Christmas everyone
-
Do your tracks for me! Get done early with them, so I can guilt you into taking on even more
If you're expecting a WIP tomorrow, you can forget it.
And you can ask Level99 how I feel about being hounded for things, heheh...
-
I feel guilty like I should do another track or something.

That's awesome, everyone should have their own dog (cog?) tags!
