  1. I'm sorry, but I always thought Aeris was annoying. I was never at all attatched to her, and when she died, my reaction was something along the lines of "sweet." Now, in FF6, when Celes tried to commit suicide after Cid's death, I definitely cried. That was a brilliantly executed scene (ignoring the obvious soften-the-blow ploy with the Cid quote right before she jumps), at just the right point of the game, and it really drove home that feeling of dispair that was so appropriate for that part of the game. And of course, the fact that Celes was a great character all along (and had a heart-breakingly beautiful themesong) made it that much more powerful. That's about the only time I can think of where a videogame has left me in tears.
  2. Count me in. I'll bring an acoustic guitar (perhaps an electric as well) and two whistles (one high, one low). Anything else I should bring? Another mic, some guitar effects pedals etc (I have a modded tubescreamer, a tweak fuzz, and a wah-wah -- and I guarantee nobody else will have a wah that sounds quite like this one).
  3. I couldn't get into Earthbound Zero. As for Mother 3, I'm waiting for the fan translation to come out (mother3.org)
  4. Didn't say I won't drive there for him, just that I'd prefer to avoid it if there are better options. Don't let your ego inflate to the point where you think you're anything more than my personal sax slave.
  5. *bump* AnSo, since you're flying in from so far away anyway, couldn't you pretty much fly in anywhere on the east coast? If you can't get a ride to and from Dulles, see if you can get a flight near where somebody lives who's going, and see if you can get a ride with them. If you want to fly into Raleigh/Durham, you can ride up with me (though the airport is a bit out of my way; see what your other options are first, please)
  6. You know what they need to do? They need to have Doc from punch-out as an assist trophy, who only works against Wario, by stealing his bike.
  7. Ok, I've been listening thinking "ok, there's gotta be at least one track on here that doesn't fucking blow me away. There isn't. Every. Single. Track. Is fucking brilliant in every way, and among the best music I've heard.
  8. I think this just might top Dragon Song as being not only the single greatest remix on this site, but the one of the greatest pieces of music -- remix or otherwise -- that I have ever heard.
  9. Awesome. Also, first VOTL review. Anyway, beautiful vocal performance by Jill, great arrangement, overall very well done.
  10. My brother plays peach, and fucking owns with her. He's a little bitch.
  11. Is there a way to get DOSbox to output midi data rather than emulating old midi sounds? To put it more concretely, would there be a way to run the music from dosbox through an external synth via the soundcard's midi out?
  12. Damnit. Now MAGfest will be all Krozed up. EDIT: I'd offer you a room, but I don't want to catch Kroze.
  13. If you're comming that far, I'm sure nobody will object to giving you some floor space at the very least. As for getting a ride from the airport, if you don't get anybody here, try signing on to #magfest on irc.vgmix. I'm sure somebody will be happy to. Depending on how far the airport is from the hotel, I may be able to come get you, though it would probably be better to find somebody else if you can.
  14. I'm thinking about buying some orchestral samples, and need reccomendations. The main thing I need is good brass, though decent strings would be a definite plus as well. Right now for orchestral stuff I use some Colossus and my Motif. Is there anything under $300 that would offer an improvement over these?
  15. Jesus Christ Superstar has ballads. I doubt it will be a problem (though of course Hemo and Sammy are the ones who really have the final say in that)
