Rexy

There comes a time, when every man... must make a decision. >:]

You know, the biggest problem with me really would be to try and make something even SHORTER due to my methods. Why do I feel so different to everyone else xD But yes, heard them all now and made my vote. And I'm easily in the love boat for Akumajo's track this week; wasn't expecting him to tow a guest vocalist (or rapper?) out of nowhere, and that was pretty damn sweet! I'm just hoping that he doesn't run out of steam prior to the end of the compo, because I'm seeing some great potential

4 minutes = "kinda short"? I don't know, I was trying to avoid making mine too long xD You probably need to take another listen to mine and SuperiorX's at least, and re-think that generalised opinion again.

Tell me, am I good or am I GOOD?

Better being in than having nothing at all. To put that in perspective, I had a 3-day cram session before ultimately sending my laptop away for repair; and I'm glad I actually did something before sending it off, because there's 5 hours left and I STILL don't have it back. >_> (But at least the repairers have the replacement hard drive, so it's probably not too bad.) Nevertheless, I may have a certain pancake telling me I'm going to fall flat, but I'm not having any of it; this is going to be one heck of a showdown >:]

As much as I feel sorry for Jason dropping out... damnit, I really want to beat Dusk and face off against Rexasaurous in the next round! It'll be a TRUE clash of the lizards if that ever happens

Or you know, do what Briggsy himself usually does and get drunk, THEN write an ending under the influence. I know you can do it, MF!

Damnit Robbie, of all the times you wowed us on the vocal front in the past you're STILL seeking for secret weapons? xD This I gotta see come tomorrow - really looking forward to hear it! (I guess my only guess on that front is a "You Can Do Anything" cameo, but that's probably a way off )

You got me wondering - if the Robotnik (Eggman) bracket is all pancakes... then how old were the eggs before you put them in the pancake batter?

Geez Bobby, the music in that video sounds like it could've EASILY . Seriously, like what?! o_O()

Meh, you pancakes need to stop leaving your gunk all over the ceiling. And I consider myself doing good. I've got the bulk of the arrangement down, one version saved in Cubase with my usual soundbank and another saved as a MIDI, both on my external drive. So even if my laptop goes down in a blaze of pixelated glory, I am on great form so far.

Let's say that if he took part, it would probably be faster than yours.

Well, I've written down the structure of the arrangement on paper, so I've got something to work with. However, mega slowdowns in the past 12 hours. First with WillRock's stream ( ), then with my laptop this morning giving me that lovely message of "A disc read error has occurred, please press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". I got it going within 5 minutes though and used it now to form the basis of the track's groove, and will remember to keep backing up to external storage, but damn, I'll be happier if I send something in; losing to DusK won't matter in perspective o_O

If Dusk wants to send me on the road to twilight, so be it. I'm going to find the road to dawn. Good luck! x)

Dude, remember that we don't have the Lizard vs Pancake thing until RIGHT AT THE END. We just got to find our most appropriate candidates first.

Or at least, it should be when your birthdays come up, you two. Have a good one! And damnit, being branched with the lizards, I don't know when I'll stop with the Gex references >_>

Well, tech support gave the lappy a good clean. And now, Saturday's matchups are soon to be seen. But you rhymers better up your game in the long run, In case you go against Akumajo in round one.

I'm not a coward, I'm just trying to be fair. And even if that's the case, I'll still take the laptop in to a guy at work and see what he makes of it. I'll indeed be cautious about this and see what goes on. o_O

Well, I started it up this morning, and aside from any faint fizzles coming from the works, I actually didn't sense any issues with the boot's performance for once. I still have Cakewalk (my main MIDI tool), Cubase and all my samples backed up, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem either (though some are that big they may not even be installed on any backup systems and I may need to resort to freebies; not a problem, I could always ask Jason Covenant for some pointers). But I'm going to have to be more cautious than ever, and that means immediately saving to external storage when done. I'll run a scandisc some point later, but let's say it here; in spite of the mishaps, I'm going to be a brave lizard and stick with the Sonic bracket. There will always be a way to something as unexpected as this - they don't call me Rexy for nothing x)

Well, mostly it comes from booting up the PC. Sometimes I hear a whistle coming from the HD. When that happens, the screen would then freeze: Enter one of those painful hard resets, geez. There was also one situation yesterday, When powering it on, there was only a black display. Panicked as I was, I turned it off and on; Thank God the laptop's life wasn't quite gone. But in all those scenarios, there's one thing in common: When it says "Starting Windows", it stays there too long. And now I'm in fear for the next major bump, And that there is the story of my laptop's slump. >_>

Well, that's what I was like when it was emerged that Michael Jackson worked on Sonic 3. I was in denial for some time, thinking that there was no way that someone as A) eventually jerkish, and high-prolific would just work on music for a videogame, though I did understand the similarities later. So if in a situation like Yuzo Koshiro ripping game music from other places, it'll be just like me with Bobby Prince's Doom music - wanting to check out the originals, and just seeing the Streets of Rage score as a fun attempt to emulate it, all before getting the juges' panel to re-assess the SoR score and its stance as acceptable source material. That's where the logic comes in. But yes, the original uploader surely didn't have a clue. I sent a couple of comments there, but he thinks it's no different from "stealing other peoples' videos", when I have seen people getting their accounts suspended for things like that. >_> I've done all I can to respond as calmly as possible, but if this guy takes it into an asshole-ish attitude like with Geoffrey Taucer, then god forbid what would happen next.
