NOVA is such a pain to play. I don't know, the controls just don't do it for me. Maybe it's because I'm playing it on a Palm Pre? Who knows. Touch-screen controls for games based heavily on reflexes are usually a pain to play, which is why I think that without buttons, mobile phone gaming (iOS, Android, webOS) will always sort of be relegated to that 'casual' status. Anyway, as for iOS games, I've got quite a bunch on my old-ass iPod touch, but one of my favorites is Gamevil's Baseball Superstars 2009. I've got 2010—and I haven't played it that much—but I spent a lot of time with 2009 and it's just phenomenal. I'm not even a big fan of sports games, but I've literally played the game for hours on end. Helsing's Fire is a great, unique puzzle game with a lot of style. Sword and Poker is another great one; a turn-based dungeon crawler built around a poker-oriented battle system. I do like Square Enix's offerings too, like Vanguard Storm and Hills and Rivers Remain; I like it when they put something new out instead of porting old games like Final Fantasy. I haven't tried Chaos Rings; I think my poor first-gen iPod would buckle and break. We can't have a thread about iOS games without mentioning Canabalt, the run'n'jump game with music by our very own Danny B.

Have you heard the "radio" version? He sings "forget you" instead of "fuck you." It completely destroys the song.

Let's try to stay on topic here and not turn this into a discussion about the viability of smartphones and media players as gaming platforms.

That kind of information can easily be found by doing a google search. I'm not going to sit here and maintain what amounts to a Wikipedia article.

Not really, because when you buy DRM free music, you're buying DRM free music.

It's not about what you're "getting at." It's about showing respect to a fellow artist, even if you disagree with the content and/or approach to music. You liked the MM4 mix and decided to leave a review. Great. But don't start taking potshots at other artists in your review. Review the piece that's in front of you and move on. You're entitled to your opinion, but you don't have to bring it up any time a hip-hop remix is posted. If you posted a review of one of my mixes and stated badmouthing another artist in it, I'd be pretty annoyed, because that's just not right. It's a matter of etiquette between artists; you just don't do that. You don't talk about someone else's work in a review; you say your piece and leave it at that. In other words: lay off.

Treasure Hunter G - Surrounded by Forest 1 In 9/8 time; the subdivision goes 2-2-2-3 for the first part until the second part around 1:20, where it changes to 9/8 in 3 (similar to 6/8 in 2).

... Please don't do that. Thank you though.

This is done.

Nobody wonders that.

This thread is Ask a Judge, not Ask a Mirby.

They are tears, my friend. Go ahead, let them flow. <( T^T)7

He's trying to replicate Metroid Prime, which is not a Super Nintendo game.

No, nothing that complicated. I'll figure it out.

Most of the humor comes from the absence of context. The conversation is actually pretty run-of-the-mill.

No, that's too much. I'm not doing anything other than single-elimination.

No, sixto signed up without posting. I have a spreadsheet where I keep track of everything. I'll wait until the end of the week. Newest sign ups will be out of luck, so make sure you guys spread the word. Rozo, we could do 24 people with a third bracket and have an elimination round right before the final. Scheduling would be a pain, but it's doable. So if we don't get 32, 24 could be good also. Spread the word, people.

Because you're approaching it with the attitude of making only 3 songs out of 9 "passable." You're shooting for baselines. You put way too much stock in the "1/3 of the tracks need to be passable" thing. That is not a hard and fast rule; it slides based on the total number tracks. If you have an album with 42 tracks on it, having 14 "passable" tracks is fine, because it's fourteen, which is a lot. That said, your implications about genre are entirely off-base. We're not going to reject an EP because it's black metal, or because it has 3 different genres on it. That's not part the equation. You say that you'd have the rest of the songs as good black metal, but not like "that," which means you don't think OCR would post black metal, which isn't true.

Why are you posting this here? Oh, I made a mistake. We had 15. But someone just posted picks, so now we do have 16.

Yes we would and no we wouldn't pass it.

Way too repetitive and doesn't do much to interpret the source material. It's got a nice atmosphere, but ultimately just coasts for 3 and a half minutes. NO

We are at 16 right now, so we can technically start. I'm going to wait a couple of days though. If you guys can spread the word and get 16 more people to participate, then we'll have 32, which will be awesome.

Maybe you shouldn't bother posting if you're not familiar?

Knock it off. EDIT: Actually, you know what? Ever since I undid your permaban, you've become increasingly condescending and negative here on the forums, and quite frankly I'm done with it. Goodbye.

Yes sir, I do like this. It makes me feel like I'm down in Miami having a mohito with Michael Westen and Sam Axe, getting ready to take on some international spies or a druglord. Fantastic performance, excellent structure, really well produced. YES!
