Goddamn it, Luke, stop making me look at your sig D: Anyway, while Starcraft remixes would be nice, I do kind of prefer the tracks as-is. The Terran themes are, at least to my way of thinking, the easiest to do things to, with Zerg offering the best chances of taking them in a different direction and Protoss themes are simply too atmospheric and it's not really a question of can you so much as should you. That's the real driving force behind most of the remixes on the site as far as I can tell. The "should you" portion of track selection. Some things...just don't need reimagining.

His own stupidity? I dunno. *sighs* so many dreams of spectating, of running around like a headless chicken, of being shot in the face by someone on the other side of the map... with the way things are going for me right now, though, by the time I am actually able to play the game, everyone will have moved on.

What? Another one?! Damn it...! Damn you to hell! Good luck!

So tell me honestly, what does everyone use? I'm curious to know. Personally I've got a digital camera (which at its highest resolution only allows like 325 pictures on a 2 gig xd card); I know the "professionals" like Kroze and Salty use digital SLRs, but what about 35mm or (heaven help you) advantix? Recommendations for which to use would naturally vary depending on the circumstances and there's no single best choice so far as type, though some would argue that at least there is a single best choice for model in each type... Most of us, I'm sure, are casual picture-takers who only have a passing interest in anything serious. We bought our cameras so we could capture memories of family and friends and special events. Then you've also gotta ask yourself whether to stay glued to your camera all the time or go out and let someone else take the pictures of you being silly so long as you enjoy yourself... Thoughts, anyone?

Does this mean I should start emailing sounds again?

I've watched both the anime and read the manga (thanks to OneManga.com yay), and while I would definitely recommend the anime for the music... I wouldn't really suggest it to anyone with a weak stomach or whose views on humanity are easily influenced by media or anything like that. Still and all, though, great story, worth the time if you think you can handle it. (Spoiler: MAJOR, MAJOR differences between the manga and the anime. If the animation is Die Hard, then the manga is The Godfather.) Also, injin, I don't really think that porn quite compares...no matter how bloody... Unless you like to get off on squick. :s

OCRcast? Well, good luck, and you'd better sacrifice a router to the internet gods just to be safe. A Netgear should be enough to appease them.

+1 redemption? gg dude

You must have been really bored or really amused to share this with us.

Cue images of Mario leading a horde of Toads through the Choco Mountain area of Dinosaur Land on a bunch of Sledge Bros. or Heavy Troopas.

If money's not an issue for you you definitely should look at the library the two consoles offer and your gaming preferences e.g. do you like puzzle games, RPGs, are you a racing title fan, do you like homebrew stuff or DLC? It's important to think about more than just branding and stuff, because to be honest in the long run the games are going to cost you a lot more than the console itself.

The X360 controller is already wireless--It uses 2 AA batteries for power. The button layout is similar to the original Xbox controller, with the addition of the left and right bumpers. Overall the X360 controller actually feels better than the older Xbox controller, though having an identical shape hurts it somewhat.

Uh, Danimal...we need to talk...

Grab your nuts really hard. Excrutiating pain aside I'm sure that will do the trick. I'd offer to do it myself but I get kind of nasally when I'm injured.

Why's this gotta be on the west coast (?) anyway?

Oh thanks a lot now I'm seeing Nice Work bobbleheads

Well, to be honest I haven't listened to it yet, but I am posting this reply because someone at halo.bungie.org liked it enough to make a news post about it... Granted, they post news about everything Halo (and by extension Bungie) related, but if it means more exposure for OCR, that's a good thing.

Is he housesitting?

I have to find a nice rook to carve into a nice book-end or something for you. And learn how to carve so I don't make a butt out of it.

Is the wedding video up yet? There's always a wedding video!

I don't really give a damn whether original or not. I care about new Tron movie = fucking YES OVERRIDE

Actually, the attackers were shielded, I guess you didn't watch the movie enough. As for why? It's Hollywood, man. And you have to admit that a buttload of seventeen mile wide ships coming out of space and parking over our cities would be pretty damn scary. The resources thing...probably means raw materials. Getting us out of the way so they can use up the arable land and potable water and excavate whatever precious metals and such that they use in their technology. The books I've read expand on it a lot; they use an awful lot of organic technology in their civilization and they spread their power out through their various ships. As for why they've never heard of a computer virus, well, I don't think they haven't, but it's like if you took humans from 200 years from now and reintroduced polio. Sure, you've got advanced technology capable of defeating it but first you've got to figure out what the hell it is and that takes time. The movie dialogue specifically states, while not directly, that David Levinson suspects that once they identify the infection they'll be able to excise it easily, hence there being a window of "a few minutes" during which the energy shields were down. But on that note, he demonstrated that the shields were up on the attacker they had in area 51, but he walked through them easily to put a Coke can on a ledge inside the shield. That said, why the hell didn't they just get a bunch of sky cranes and lower nukes down onto the surface of the destroyers instead? With the shields still up it would've reflected the force of the nuclear blast back down into the ships, further destroying them. Sure, then you've got a shitload of irradiated alien stuff sitting around, but it beats the hell out of doing something stupid like sending a single ship up to their interstellar hive and hoping that your communications expert can break into their network and upload a virus that may not even work. EDIT: So, to clarify, they're telepathic, they organize into a hive mentality, they are divided into two subspecies (one a controller race and one a warrior race), and they use organic equivalents whenever possible. So it's not too much of a stretch to think that they don't have guided missiles or targeting computers, given that (according to the novels anyway) they have to have three warriors in each ship just to make it fly straight let alone shoot.

Some shit from Ace Combat 4, probably Agnus Dei. Actually I'm listening to vip.swf Again Since it has quite a few examples of what good video game music is like (and a few less than stellar entries, too, but overall worth downloading but they seem to be updating it rather frequently).
