Dafydd

You're aware this is an OLR sub, right?

The last two, with the t-shirts and the unmod cover art, nearly killed me.

I always liked the song named Cavern Caprice. It'd be cool if ParagonX9 would give that one a shot.

Well, this is messed up. Well done, nice work and all, but what the fuck?

You don't need to download the song to listen to it - Soundclick features streaming...

Really, she should start remixing again... I was wondering about username changes - if I change my username, can I add something like "formerly Dafydd" to my "real name" field? Speaking of which, are things like "X Project Coordinator" added to the real name field or by some other means? I know I've been lazy for the past 6 months or so, but I'm a project coordinator, and there's nothing about in my userbar. EDIT: Why can't we do this ourselves anyway? Or change topic titles? Seems to me Larrybot has enough work to do already.

I agree. I think you should make an official OCR animated gif instead. I'm dead serious!

Left to right, Andrew, Jill, Larrybot (don't ask, or ask Zyko), Dave, Mrmf, Woof? Who are those last two?

That's why I thought putting them all into a txt file was a bad idea... great job editing, Lin, and I'm sorry about being all ADD about this whole project.

Ehelente. Oh no, I forgot about "ugly"! All of my avatars are going to get that, I just knows it. All that work for nothing... LT: Not to offend, but the way some of you guys get mentally conditioned by our selectivity... Have some faith, partner! You dissed my Commander Keen sprites a while ago for that reason. That's the way they look, I can't help it if they're ugly, they're classic, and the cave story ones made it, so why not mine? It hurt - deep inside, a little boy is still gathering the pieces of a teddy bear torn apart. Oh yes. Seriously though, the reason I asked Polo about the BT&DD ones was because I couldn't get them cropped very well - their faces are like 5 pixels too big, Pimple way more. I've made comments to your comments to my previous posts, so go ahead and read those if you want. I got the background back on these two: better? LT: I commented on the new stuff above. As for these here, maybe something other than a black background? The Toads are already rather dark (maybe too dark) and don't stand out well enough from the black background. Also, the images are a little pixelated. Dunno if that's the sprite, but if it's not, let's go for something a little smoother. Thanks for all the new stuff, BTW. I have them and will add them when I can. It's not black - it's dark purple. But I agree it doesn't look very good. Here's the original... EDIT: WTF, smileys count as images in the 4 image limit? Gimme a break...

I usually browse mixes by game, not by remix name, so I like it the way it is. If the colums were switched, I'd probably click the game name by mistake as always anyway (yeah, I do it too, dhsu).

Maybe you could record a sample and post it?

The smileys panel on the right of this box I'm typing in right now is not very space-efficient. Most of the smileys appear twice or thrice, and one of the available spots is empty! We could fit in 7 more smileys on that panel and still keep it the same size.

What do you need VST's for? Get some refills. Oh, if only the Reason strings refill torrent wasn't down...

Interesting. I thought Infected Mushroom was pretty much the definition of psy. I really horrible with genres. Anyway, this is pretty nice. I get a little annoyed with the boing boing in the lead synth - you should stick with the sitar/ud thingy and leave the synth out or at least replace it. The other synths are nice, especially the bass.

Oops. I'll go and convert them all, then. Thanks for the heads-up... the Starfox guys look much better now, good job! EDIT: all the potential avatars have been switched for gifs. If it's still a png, don't consider it a "submission". Some Battletoads... Rash: Pimple: lol... Wanna try this one, Polo? I had a hard time cropping it... LT: Hmm. The first two look good, but I'd prefer them with a background if possible. If not, or you'd prefer not to, no big deal, as we can roll with these. But if y'all can work something out with crops from the character select screen, let me know. The backgrounds were originally dark purple for the first two. If you like that better, I'll change it back. What about the last one? LT: Nah on the last one. No killer instinct? Combo... Fulgore... Glacius. These are all pretty bad, actually. LT: Hahaha! You got it. Yeah, the SNES sprites of that game all looked pretty bleh when it comes down to it. It's amazing how much I liked that game back then, cuz it definitely doesn't hold up now.

Can't help you there, but I wanted to say that this one is so much better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvljN9ycqLg

Shut up. It'd be cool if the forum software was able to limit posts to 1 or 2 MB of images (though I've seen people with 3 MB sigs) instead of a fixed number, or limit the total number of image pixels in one post, or something. 4 ginormous images has to be much worse for the everyday forum-goer than 5 avatar-sized ones, or as in this case, 17... or is it 21? EDIT: 25. lol... anyway, Coop, you were 3 hours late. Thanks. I really thought they looked out of place. There's your confirmation, Larry.

So... we need more Turtles. I tried ripping graphics from TMNT IV, but the sprite is 64x64 rather than 32x32: So I need to either crop or resize. This is the resized one (sharpened a bit): Not great... so I tried cropping: Don't know how you like the crop, but anyway... I also tried removing the background, leaving only a contour... LT: The cropped one with background would possibly look better with an in-game background. Hmm... there's a lot of in-game backgrounds in this game. I wonder which one would look best. If I make more of these, can I include foot soldiers as well? They're pretty cool, I think. LT: As long as they look good, whatever characters you want. and removing the background altogether. 4 image limit, sorry for double-posting. TMNT II has some good stuff too: Here's Leonardo - cropped: I couldn't resist recoloring his shell... again, NES graphics only allow for 4 colors for each sprite, so I guess they couldn't help coloring it green there. LT: Nice work with the recoloring. Definitely the right move, and in context. Yeah, these will look good. Same thing with Raphael: And Michaelangelo (better crop on next page): Donatello's graphics suck here, so... dunno about that one. LT: Not sure what's wrong with Donatello, but try him too and let's see if it really looks bad with a tight crop around the face and and some of the staff weapon in the upper left. The others look excellent of course. I'll give Don another shot then, and let you be the judge, but I didn't like what I got last time I tried. Splinter, TMNT I... Without background... Shredder, TMNT III and April: I got a little artistic when cropping those last two - their faces wouldn't fit anyway. LT: Ouch on Shredder. Oogly. The others are good to go. I wouldn't have minded some background, but definitely nice work on the cropping; good artistic license, David. Yeah, he was pretty ugly, but it's the only shot I have of him (except from the TMNT IV intro sequence). Wish I could make him look better. April has a white background originally, so given the gray color scheme here at OCR, I think she looks better without. LT: Shit, I meant SPLINTER. The old rat! Shredder is badass. Oh. Hehe. TMNT III: I think these must be composed of several sprites each... since they're more than 4 colors. Not that it matters to you. LT: Cowabunga. Sorry for multiposting, and I guess most of them will get either a no or a no resubmit, but I figured I should at least try. Starfox... (Polo made better ones, deleting mine) Alternate cropping of Mike (TMNT II). I like this one better. TMNT4: (merged 4 pictures) LT: No problem with Star Fox. That's a team effort! The alternate cropping looks even better. Nice touch. Crops (cropping could be more interesting, I guess): LT: Yeah, I get what you mean, but with the pictures so large, those crops are the very best you can get, which is fine. One of my childhood favorites.

Here's the code: <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="black"><center><object width="1280" height="990"> <param name="movie" value="whitneyCrank.swf"> <embed src="whitneyCrank.swf" width="1280" height="990"> </embed> </object><center></body> </html> Just save the whitneyCrank.swf file in the same folder as the html file, load up the desktop properties and select the html file for your desktop background. In case anyone wants to. You could, of course, pick any of the other ones as well...

I know you did. You just didn't nag enough. I'll listen to that other song and also try to fix the snare... less generic, less thin. Do you think you could tell me a song here on ocr that's roughly the same genre but that uses a better snare? Just to give me a better idea about where I should be going?

That's your problem, really. I have the hand cranked one now, so I won't have to listen to it constantly.

So, I downloaded the flash file, embedded it into a simple html file and then loaded the html as a desktop background. Awesomeness! One thing though - does anyone know how to load a flash file in html, but muted? Having that sound playing constantly in the background does get on your nerves.

We are all nerds. This is where we hang out.

Dunno if this is your type of thing. http://www.robertus.staff.shef.ac.uk/ama349/fourier/
