    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So.... I was born in california and lived 22 years of my life within an hour of san francisco.

    and now, now that i'm in hawaii everything is happening in san francisco? even my girlfriend (who isn't from california, mind you) is living in san francisco right now.

    this sucks, screw hawaii. oh, and have fun guys.

    EDIT:

    How 'bout y'all meet up a few hours east of San Fran. at the best lake in the country. Heh, heh.

    OCR snowboarding trip WOOOOO!!!

    but seriously that would be awesome. and less nerdy. <3 Snowboarding.

    What happened to Unmod?

    This is a generalization and definitely doesn't apply to all unmodders, but I have a feeling that some of them knew nothing they said would change anything, didn't want to hang around ocr anymore, and just decided to see how much damage they could do before getting banned.

    Usually I have a very anti-establishment mindset when it comes to ocr but truthfully, unmod sucked. And yes, I spent some time there. like three minutes.

    Remember when the remix reviews forum was the most active one? yeah, those were the days...

    Peanuts manga mode!

    Sorry, it's way past my bedtime and I kinda felt like being a jerk tonight. Sorry to people who think of me as a role model, I will try to tone it down a little.

    P.S. <3

    You should feel sorry FOR people who think of you as a role model.

    hahahahHAHhhHhahHhahaHhahahahhHA

    I used to have comcast's ridiculously expensive premium cable which was like 8Mb down, 512k up or something. It served me well enough, since I didn't have to pay for it.

    Currently:

    Stealing wireless from someone within the apartment complex. Pretty fast. More importantly I live directly across the street from my university and their internet is ridiculous. yay for stealing!

    To the consummate pianist Di Wu (www.DiWuPiano.com) for teaching me how to make music, to Rosina Bové, my first teacher, for letting me play Uematsu when all the other kids were playing Mozart, to the great sages Mustin, Gino Castro, Jim Lewis, Benjamin Tisdale, David Silverman, Tim Flanagan, and Jeff Kleist for imparting upon me their most valuable counsel, and to Dr. Charles and Lori Gluck, my loving parents and greatest allies, who taught me that life’s all about doing what you love.

    Interesting that his purchasable musics were being compared to OUS earlier, as he gives thanks to Mustin.

    EDIT: I sent him an email. He pockets the other 80%. AHEM, I mean "the

    remainder is already being used to fund [his] next MS project, which has

    been in the works for several months now."

    Well, not everyone is peachy with the concept of remixers selling what so many others give freely :razz:

    But regarding the charity, it's not so much him being a scumbag, as it is the whole thing coming across as using a charity as a selling point. We've seen it constantly over the years, as people use charities for a photo op, or they publicize their donations on national TV or what have you. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people give to charity each year, but most of them don't say a word about it, because they're not after the notoriety or publicity. They do it to help, and leave it at that. If he wants to give to charity, then he should just do it, and not tack it on to his site as an announcement and selling point... especially with him keeping 80% of the sales.

    I believe that's what part of the issue is.

    Silently donating to a charity doesn't exactly raise much awareness for said cause, now does it? Perhaps you guys are right, and this guy's a dick. Regardless, I don't understand why internet fags always assume the worst. Don't buy his stuff if you think he's an ass.

    I hate it when this happens

    I've found the trick is to-

    Choose something obscure that no one will get the reference to.

    Choose something that you can't find others using currently.

    Buy and use webspace with the matching domain name.

    Choose something that no one else would want, which is, of course, my own personal strategy :P
