You can't "release" stuff in Community unless you're a posted remixer. Moved to WIP&R.

From the Request Guidelines:

New Spoiler?

I'm more excited for the ending of Batman RIP. OK not really. But I read comics and you don't.

No DarkeSax? I'm insulted.

But everyone on the internet will get all up in arms and completely indignant when Squenix shuts down fan-projects to do the same thing.

Post an MP3 or something. It's not hard to find hosting; I recommend pownce.com. Your sitar is out of tune; there are a lot of intonation problems. Don't write that off as being part of the natural sitar sound, because it's not. A sitar can be played in tune. It's also too quiet/low-pitched. Take it up an octave or bring the volume up; it's getting lost in the mix. The lead playing the SF3 theme is really weak and suffers from some timing issues. It has no bite, no punch, no presence. The melody is also different from the original. It's a six note melody; it shouldn't be hard to replicate. For the sake of example, let's say we're in A minor: you've written the melody as "A C D C A C" when it's actually "A C D G A B." You've gotta come down lower than the root in the second three notes. That's what characterizes the melody. As for drums, they are repetitive. You can't go back and listen to the original and say "well that didn't do much, so I'm not really gonna do much either." You're not making the original, you're making a remix for OCR, so change it up some more (and don't say I'm being inconsistent here with my remarks from the previous paragraph; melodic interpretation and percussive variation are apples and oranges).

It's from Final Fantasy IV.

You know they're still working on the game right? I mean, what they're showing you isn't coming out tomorrow.

Word; but by the same token, I wouldn't mind a Chrono Tactics spin-off game.

I was just trying out the admin menu. One thing that's really not so great is that you have to be really careful about selecting options; I've noticed that if I hold down a number key for any more than a split second, the input carries over to the next menu. I accidentally changed maps by just pressing "1." Any way we can get some kind of delay in there or non-repeating input?

Those headphones had better be waterproof.

Requests belong in Requests...moved.

Ugh, Quake soundbytes? Really?

http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2008/070208a.html "Chrono Trigger DS will feature the classic multiple endings that it is famous for and will be unchanged at its core. Yasunori Mitsuda's score will return as will Akira Toriyama's character designs. The new additions to this version are dual screen presentation, touch screen functionality, a brand new dungeon, and an unspecified wireless play mode."

Discussing non-vg music in the Community forum is never unnecessary. I wish people would do it more.

By the same token, with the advent of virtual console, kids are getting exposed to old school games again. Don't forget about Mega Man Anniversary Collection either.

Well here's the thing: combine things like install-base, demographics, and publishing fees, and it probably makes more sense for Capcom to not bother with XBLA and PSN. Despite the fact that this is a retro game and despite the fact that a lot of Mega Man fans are adults now, the main demographic for Mega Man games is still the younger crowd. Most younger gamers have Wii. Install-base overall for Wii is greater than 360 and PS3. And in the end, it costs more to publish on all three platforms than it does on one. I guess Capcom figures that the potential revenue of 360 and PS3 versions won't justify the publishing cost. This is all conjecture, btw.

People will moomoo about anything. :\

That petition is everything that's wrong with art direction in video games these days. As if we really need more games with that washed out brown-gray look. One of the things I like most about Blizzard is that they don't shy away from actually using colors with some saturation to them.

I recommend Pownce.

Seriously, PS3 just for Mega Man 9?

Looks like it's Wii Exclusive. http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/06/27/megaman-9-to-be-the-first-game-to-hit-wiiware-xbla-and-psn

Bolded = what I'm running right now. My computer runs like a champ.

Hey Paulie. Submit some video game arrangements here. You too Lori.
