My understanding is that Na'vi isn't actually that developed yet -- it's not as expansive as Elvish. Assuming they make a sequel or two (which I'm sure they will), the language will probably eventually get as developed as Elvish or Klingon.

Seconding this recommendation -- it's an excellent book.

Tix are $20

Perhaps eventually, though it's actually quite striaghtforward.

I say keep pushing anyway -- the rest of the crew may be able to play without me. Here's the deal: I'd have to fly to PA Sunday morning, so I could only play on Saturday. Also finances are looking like I'll be able to pay for travel to -- at most -- one OCR gathering (or anything else, for that matter) this summer, so I'm reluctant to pay to go to Nerdapalooza for just one day. So on the off chance that you guys can pay for my travel and schedule the Xenotones to play on Saturday, I can swing it, but otherwise I just don't think it will be possible.

I really really really really really want to go to this, but I don't think it will be feasible this year

fixed that one for you

Let the records show that this was Luke's idea. Anyway, are you on the definite list or the maybe list?

Powerglove and Sonata Arctica are doing a concert in Raleigh on May 1st. If anybody else from OCR is going, I'd like to get tickets together. Who else is in? Once we have a hard number of people coming, I'd be happy to go ahead and buy everybody's tickets (provided you all reimburse me) so we can all sit together. If anybody's travelling for this, you're welcome to stay at my place afterward. Definite: -Geoffrey Taucer -Kitsuta -Avatar of Justice Possible: -LuketheXjesse -you?

Beyond Good and Evil: Jade/the Domz

So what exactly are you looking for right now? Participants? Ideas for what themes could represent what characters?

I wanted to sub a ukeke3000 trick, but I couldn't think of anything sufficiently epic.

I definitely immediately read this as "human," and thought it was pretty damn cool.

ZYLANCE! I KILL YOU!

So do you want me to change your name in the DKC2 project thread?

I'll put in a vote for new year, but are we seriously going to be at the same hotel again? I think the con has outgrown the space. EDIT: also, I m whole-heartedly in favor of summer MAGfest, as long as it's not anywhere close to the week of July 4th.

This is all kinds of awesome

I have no trouble at all recording into sonar or reaper, but any non-multitracking programs I use don't seem to be picking up any input. Can't record into wave editors, can't use skype, etc. I suspect it's an issue with audio drivers, but I'm not positive. I'm using a Creamware scope home card. Any ideas?

Unfortunately I had to take tonight off from my new year's resolution

Arek, isn't all the music pretty much done already? Just put together a site and release the damn thing. We don't care about a storybook or any other bonus features: we just want to hear the music.

I'm sorry, but you're being an idiot here. Who the hell are you to tell other creative artists what the right and wrong way to go about their art is? Take a look at Pachelbel's Ganon. Chords are different. Hell, the melody is even different. Yet is 1) recognizable as Zelda's lullabye, and 2) Freaking awesome. Use of source? Check. The artist's own added flair and creativity? Check. Awesome to listen to? Check. This, my friend, is what we call a "ReMix."

This.... actually frightens me and makes me quite pessimistic about the game's quality.

Words cannot describe the awesome

And another one bites the dust

It was honestly really weird being at an OCR meetup without Jill and Andy -- I think it's the first one I've been to that neither of them came to. Definitely missed them both
