My right shoulder had been completely crippled since friday, and yesterday I finally said "fuck it" and worked rings anyway. After about five minutes of rings strength, my shoulder completely stopped hurting. Go figure.

Actually, there has been more than one occasion where I did a remix and then went back to listen to the original and realized I didn't even remember the melody accurately.

No, I just go by ear/memory and see what I can do with it. Heck, there are some tracks I'm remixing for which I don't even know the original chord progression.

Welcome. After getting one of the best workouts I've ever had on friday, I couldn't do anything on saturday because my shoulders were completely fried. I could barely move saturday morning, and they're still pretty sore today. Now that's what I call a workout. I'll probably do some flexibility work today, but nothing else.

I tend not to like orchestral arrangements, but this is a real beauty. Nice work! By the way, what did you use for the choir?

Had a killer workout this morning. My crosses are getting consistently flat, and my malteses are getting better and more consistent. I did a 2 minute strength set on a ring machine (rings attatched through a pulley to a spotting belt, so you only have to lift half your weight): 30 seconds in a victorian, 30 seconds in a cross, 30 seconds in a maltese, and 30 seconds in an inverted cross. It felt great, my shoulders were dead by the end of it all. Then, after a lunch break, went through most of my usual workout; 360 pulls, rotator cuff pulls, dips, inverted rowers, splits (left leg split is getting closer and closer to flat), pike and pancake stretches, and various shoulder stretches.

I've heard several tracks from the xenogears album which I would rate among the best remixes I've ever heard. That album, if it ever gets released, will be absolutely amazing. But, of course, the DKC2 project will blow all other projects out of the water.

Also, this theme is wicked fucking awesome and somebody needed to mix it. Dunno if I'll ever develop this enough to sub it, but comments are nonetheless appreciated.

I laughed my ass off when Aeris died. She was whiny and annoying and completely useless both in battle and in terms of importance to the plot. I should say that by this point, I already thought the game was crap and wasn't taking any of it seriously anyway.

Thank you!

http://www.geoffreytaucer.com/randomstuff/wut.mp3 What's this from? I've heard it a million times (it's popular as gymnastics routine music), but I don't know what it's called. Thanks in advance.

Star of Hope (A remix of "Gathering Stars in the Night Sky" from Xenogears from OneUp Studios' Mitsuda tribute album) definitely moved me to tears the first time I heard it. That's also the song that inspired me to start playing irish whistle. Actually, a lot of the xenogears soundtrack had that effect on me, though not necessarily to the point of tears. Same with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack. Celes' theme from FF6 definitely made me cry a couple times, though that probably wasn't so much due to the song alone as it was due to the heartbreaking scenes it's played in.

I haven't played brawl in ages. Honestly, I just haven't found it to be nearly as much fun as melee.

Preordered

Two questions: First, when will we get the details of any planned group buy/OCR discount? Second, when will you begin taking preorders?

I've backed off a bit on the intensity of my training lately, but I'm still working out every day. At this point, I have everything I need for competition in January; I just need to remain uninjured and workout enough to avoid losing any skills between now and then. The only exception is vault; I still need to get some harder vaults than what I have now (or rather I need to get my hard vaults consistent)

Wow, that's not bad!

You might try his website, http://www.discodan.org/ ... which I found in five seconds by checking his profile. Beyond that, don't think I can help you.

Holy shit. AWESOME! Thanks for the info!

*bump* Had a great tumbling workout today. Did some triple backs into a pit from floor, and they were feeling consistantly pretty good. Still not ready to put it on a real floor, but I'm definitely going to keep working on them.

Haha, ok. In that case, I'm tentatively claiming it for myself, and hopefully I'll have a WIP to show by the end of the week.

I'll let bahamut call who gets the map theme, 'cause I'm working on a WIP for it.

Man, this thread is going to make me have to go back and play OoT again.

Man, that part of the game would have been AWESOME if it weren't for the fact that you can one-hit those guys with the hook shot. Completely ruined what could have been an awesomely difficult and scary section of the game. It is completely possible to get past them without use of the hookshot (ever since I realized this, I have refused to use the hookshot at all when I play through this section).

For the last week or so, American Express has rejected all my attempts to buy anything on my card. I figured the problem was just with my account, and planned on calling AmEx to get it sorted out when I got the chance, but then Bahamut said the same thing was happenning with him. Is this happenning to anybody else as well? Anybody know what's going on? My suspicion is that it's related to the current financial crisis.
