PayPal & The 9th Circle of Customer Service Hell
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in General Discussion
I was with him all the way on "Simon's Pie Charts", but I don't really get why he had to be such an asshole about "Missing Sissy". Sounds like the guy might like this comic (which I can really recommend to anyone): http://theoatmeal.com/comics/computers Anyway... Yeah, PayPal are incredibly difficult to get in touch with for whatever reason. At least payments work like they should. -
Mega Man: The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle 2010
Dafydd replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
Yeah, that's what UD told me, too. When I first saw it the first backronym to come to mind was "suck my hole". Heh heh. -

EDIT: Oh wait, nevermind. Urban dictionary to the rescue! How's about changing that thread title, hm? -
OCR02072 - Diddy Kong Racing "Shiva Nataraja"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Yes! Finally some DKR! I'm actually a little surprised this passed though, as it sounds like it might as well have been taken right from the OST as far as sounds and production is concerned. Not that it bothers me at all. You can instantly tell this is a mix of a DKR track, which is awesome. -
Myeah. I'm kind of schwamped at the moment and don't think I can pull that one off before the deadline. Also Record 1.5 is released a week later so I would be singing out of tune in a rather charming way, as opposed to if you would postpone the deadline by a week or so (by which time I'm no more likely to be done, however). Probably better you do it, though if you want to sort of build on what I already did, that would be awesome. Also, this is my first remix project. Just saying.
-
No, it's not done. I thought you didn't want me to do it anymore since Sound Test had that song covered already. Was I wrong?
-
Thanks for your concern. I feel compelled to say something witty about that 'e' in your username, but I'd probably regret it at some point. Looking forward to seeing that Ray-Man bio!
-
Are you going to remove me from the ending ballad or not? I don't like having my name on the list of people who still aren't finished if you don't need me to do any more work on that song.
-
I thought I would never see the day when Polo didn't get his facts straight, but here it is. Tears dribble down my chin as the realization of the end of the world hits me like a baseball bat to the groin. Aside from the gloves, I think this one's ripe for upload.

OCR02070 - Mega Man 2 "Dokuta Wairi, Rival to the Light"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Oh no, not techno again! I thought I'd heard enough mixes of this song, but, well, it's Sixto. Not much to say, really, other than that thing about the intro - it does sound rather messy, especially around 0:07-0:10. I would have preferred something more marcato on those short notes in the very beginning, but who cares at this point. Keep them coming! -
Bump. I wish I had this covering a full wall in my room.

What about other audio formats? (FLAC/OGG/M4A/etc)

Switching from free phpbb to for-profit vBulletin for the sake of awesomeness, and then from for-free mp3 to really-free ogg for the sake of principle? When exactly does mp3 cost money? Does anyone know? If you create an application that encodes mp3 and charge people for using it? If you sell mp3 files? If you make a portable media player that plaus mp3s and charge people for it? Does it ever cost money if you doesn't make you any? I'm just curious. I figured I might as well ask before this thread falls off the edge to the next page... -
OCR02069 - Castlevania "Castlemania 2010"
Dafydd replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is pretty awesome. I like how you mix chiptune sounds with more "modern" elements, especially that super-lfo'ed, spooky synth lead. Gut werk! Also, I believe it's spelled "Non-sequitur". djp made boo-boo in'is rightup. Har. Or it was intentional in some strange way -
Thanks, dude! I knew putting that in the title would bring some attention, if nothing else. This project was always about letting those unfamiliar with any of the mascots learn a little bit about them, and a name and a game is a good start. Zephyr's looking good! I'll let Polo run it over with his own nitpick machine to avoid any uncomfortable bumps down the road. I completely forgot about any previous versions of this, sorry about that. I think I would have written it as "the closer they are to its center" rather than "the center", not saying that's necessarily any better.
-
Looking forward to it. I don't feel like I can contribute all that much more to writing bios for the latest batch of new mascots, but I will lurk around, ready with nitpicks whenever someone else posts one.
-
Yeah, most of my jokes tend to fly over people's heads. As a result, most people don't think I'm that much fun. Glad to have another clever person around (though I never doubted your being so, and though I'm not sure you actually found that joke funny whether you got it or not)

Mega Man: The Grand Robot Master Remix Battle 2010
Dafydd replied to DarkeSword's topic in Competitions
Yeah, bring it! -
Might as well let you do it, I think you have more routine in that area. Personally, I'm not sure what goes in italics in a bio. Game titles, is that all? Shame you didn't get something about crossbones into that last sentence.

Would the same thing have happened if Zircon got his stuff in on time, but Willrock didn't? I doubt it. Not that I ever keep deadlines myself, and not that I don't think Zircon really is busy doing something important, but there it is - I doubt it. -
That's better. Thanks!
-
Yeah, I like the edit you made. I'm sorry to be so indecisive, but I think maybe that "But" you changed into a "However" would be better off as a "but" preceded by a comma instead of a period. That would make it read better, I think. Again, just... throwing it out there. Sorry for the hassle. What do you think?
-
Me like commas. Keep them. Regarding the humorous writing style and your wish to indicate that the writing style is not only humorous but features a rather particular kind of humor, this feels like a wonderful opportunity make use of the word "trademark". Especially since there is already a trademarked work in that same sentence, as this makes for a nice pun. I don't know if it really needs mentioning, but at least in the later installments of the series, there's not only insult sword fighting, but also insult arm wrestling, and, I'm sure, at least one more insult sport besides those two. Not really fond of the ending though. Seem like it's written as if three-headed monkeys and selling fine leather jackets is the funniest shit ever, and therefore a fine grande finale. Just being as ass about it while I still can Now, on to Phoenix Wright... "role-playing games, along with the advent" - here I'd actually prefer to do away with comma. "often forced to pay for things that his friends want" - how is he forced to pay for them? How about "often ending up paying for things"? "Forced" feels too strong in this context, but maybe there's a reason for it, in which case I'd like to hear an example... "wrong. But he" - I'm not big on "But" being the first word of a sentence. How about "However, " or something? This is just personal preference, really, I'm just throwing it, like everything else I say, out there. "Phoenix Wright and various trials" - I want a "the" before "various", because it feels like those various trials aren't just any random trials, but specific ones that have had a profound impact on his life. I could be wrong. Also, there's no explanation as to how he comes into contact with the Fey family - did he defend one of the members of this family, is one of them a co-worker of his, what? Little nitpicks, all of it, and I'm feeling grumpy, too. Sorry if I come off as too harsh.
-
It's funny how this project sees no action at all for long streches of time and then suddenly all hell breaks loose. Thanks for updating the bios according to the new guidelines! I like the Phoenix Wright bio, aside from a few misspelled words and missing "the". Fix it up according to Polo's suggestions and let us have a look at the result!
-
In the name of Stevo, his beard, and his speedos, amen. I will upload mine later today, I got stuck in front of yesterday and just couldn't stop laughing. Sorry :/

OCR02065 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Ice Cold Retro"

Without win and with no epic sprinkled on top?
