  1. I hate to do this so late in the week, but I've had literally NO time to work on a song. Work is running me ragged and I can't forsee being able to get enough free time to work on anything in the near future.

    Just as an example, since I've returned from my deployment I have had to work Thanksgiving, Christmas, and will work New Years next week.

    I may be able to assist my team if they need guitar parts, but I don't have the time to do full songwriting. Sorry guys, didn't know my time would be in high demand after I got back.

  2. Ours is on its way. We had initially ordered it a while ago and didn't check up on it. Only after ordering some stuff for ourselves recently did we see that the secret santa order vanished from our order history at a certain website. We had still been charged for it the entire time. Calling their customer support resulted in them pretty much telling us "sorry".

    Our paypal still holds record of the transaction including order number, but the company says that the order number listed in paypal correlates to a previous unrelated order.

    tl;dr - our gift is late because a certain website (where geeks think) decided to "lose" the order whilst still charging us. Only just found out about the error, so, that's the story.

  3. the only thing that 'made it great' compared to now was 2d sprites, text boxes, and the fact that you were younger and dumber than you are now

    i like to think i'm dumber now than i was 10 years ago.

    also, no. what made it great back then was the fact that they created a game that was within their means instead of shooting for something they could never achieve.

  4. Oh hey Justin goes through a deployment and gets back to a mixpost.

    The first thing that pops up is that the song sounds loud, and a tad overcompressed. Other than that, the song has a solid flow to it and as Justin said, wrote itself. There is a dark/depressing feel cast throughout the song which is nailed well - definitely reminds me of some death metal out there. This is a good full listen for the most part!

    I don't compress any of my music. At all. D:

    I literally record raw and that's it. I MIGHT adjust volume levels to prevent clipping but I never apply any post compression or EQ to anything.

  5. well in that case you should probably stop playing zelda games and play something else. there are plenty of different games out there for you to choose from. maybe skyrim?

    also i liked how recognizing the characters is only a maybe.

    basically your post was severely lacking in logic.

    So when a series runs its ideas into the ground and keeps rehashing over and over it's okay because change has no logic

    yeah, sure. right.

    why not change the setting? why does it have to be generic fantasy settings with elves every time? time must progress in the zelda-verse. tell a story from a different time period, a different character's perspective, or i don't know, just fucking make something new

    how many mainline zelda games have there been now? zelda, zelda 2, zelda lttp, zelda 64, zelda major's mask, zelda wind waker, zelda twilight princess, zelda skyward sword. if nintendo out and out refuses to make new ips with new characters and settings, the only solution is to just fucking shake things up with the series that they DO have. especially when they've been running for so long that creatively they're fairly bankrupt.

  6. This isn't meant to be directed only at seph, but when people say that the formula is getting old or boring, I can see their point. However, I also wonder at what point would the game stop being Zelda? I think in this game, they've kept everything fresh and interesting while still retaining the Zelda formula. If you lost the formula, would it continue to be a Zelda game, or would it be something different? (different not innately being bad or good)

    When you really think about it, how exactly could you change such a familiar franchise like Zelda without it being an entirely different thing?

    following a formula doesn't making somewhat what it is.

    all it needs is to be called a zelda game and bingo bango, zelda game. doesn't matter content. it's zelda. dot period

    i for one would like a drastic change to the series. a complete overhaul. i don't want to recognize anything beyond characters maybe.

  7. Well I can definitely agree that if you're running the game on 2x native resolution using Dolphin(which I just found out I can do reliably), then you're definitely getting quite the experience. It shouldn't look terrible on an HDTV however unless you're using composite, in which case you should switch to component ASAP. I bought 'em same day I bought my Wii I don't think I've ever even bothered touching my Wii's standard composite cables. They won't make the system look amazing, but they'll definitely remove a lot of the blurriness.

    I've got probably two dungeons left in the game, and I've gotta say that I agree with a previous poster, and it looks like my comment on "linearity" being an OK thing was spot on: while the dungeons are definitely smaller than something out of say, Twilight Princess, the puzzles within each are so tightly designed and satisfying to make my way through. I think *Spoilers*both dungeons in Lanayru Desert for example were pretty great with their use of time traveling, and the Sandship in particular had a pretty cool set piece for a boss battle. I also loved the ambiance of The Ancient Cistern.

    All and all I'm enjoying the game immensely. It feels much larger than Wind Waker, but there's much less fluff that you have to get through. Definitely in my top 5 Zelda's for sure along with the Oracle series(count as 1 to me), Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, and Twilight Princess.

    Also, I've noticed the Wiimote+ problem with Dolphin as well. If I don't have the controller centered along with the sensor, it can mess up the calibration something bad. I don't know if it's just that this Wiimote+ is goofy in general or if it's an issue with Dolphin, but if anyone has an idea/fix, that'd be great.

    I don't think its a Dolphin issue. I had the same issues playing on my wii. I think it's just the way it is.
