    JigginJonT and I even did searches for his name on those "people search" sites and called the numbers of many people with the name "Gary Alexander" (there is no "Gray Alexander".)

    Just out of curiosity, I did some searches on a few phone listing pages, and I found several people with the name Gray Alexander: one in South Carolina, one in Pennsylvania, and one in California. I've also found several listings for Grayson Alexander and Grayling Alexander.

    I'm reluctant to post the contact information here, mainly out of respect for the privacy of these people, but if anyone wants to attempt calling or writing either of these people, I can pass the info along.

    The got fuckin' video game music on vinyl?! GODDAMN!!!

    Not quite. Final Fantasy is a Canadian solo artist. He has done video game music, though. From what I've read, one of his earliest projects was scoring part of a game, and one of the songs on his first album is essentially a cover of the Star Maze music from Mario Land 2.

    Vinyl Records

    I've got about 80+ vinyl, ranging from classic rock and disco to jazz and classical. I've bought most of them used at a local used record store, but I've also bought the occasional new record online.

    Some of my favorites:

    -Bobby Shad and the Bad Men - A 65 Piece Rock Workshop

    -Claudja Barry - I Wanna Be Loved By You (one of my favorites as a kid; it's pressed on transparent red vinyl)

    -Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (the b-side of LP2 has a pretty neat etching)

    -Final Fantasy - Many Lives -> 49mp (7")

    -Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass - Greatest Hits (FINALLY found this one earlier this week!)

    -Led Zeppelin - IV/untitled (My father's copy. It's not in the best condition, but it plays through fine)

    -Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

    -Pink Floyd - Obscured By Clouds

    -Pink Floyd - Ummagumma

    Help Tagging Some Remixes

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    'My Frequency is 140.85' is by virt. (I think) it was the first song posted on the current incarnation of VGMix.

    'Crystal Flash' is also by virt, from January 2005's Dwelling of Duels competition.

    'Brinstar Unplugged' is also from DOD (January/February 2006)

    'Protect the Starbase' (TMNT4) looks familiar; a quick google search reveals that it's a rejected mix by a mixer named Groggie.

    In fact, googling each individual remix name might be a good idea.

    Super Mario Bros 2

    I finally played through the game, start-to-finish, last winter. Even though I enjoyed it, I'm kinda glad they decided to release the veggie-pullin' SMB2 in place of the Japanese SMB2. I know for a fact that I would have become WAY too frustrated if I had attempted it when I was younger.

    Does anyone else think this is the best Mario game ever, or maybe the best platformer ever?
    For me, that's Mario 3, hands down.

    Catch 22 (USB Keyboard probs)

    I just did a little research on the problem, and I came across a random forum post that said to try leaving it at the login screen for a few minutes while Windows installs the drivers. I dunno if that'll actually work, but it's worth a shot.

    I also read something about enabling legacy USB / keyboard support in the BIOS, but again, I'm not sure if that will make any difference.

    Dying GBA screen?

    Or are you playing lots of old GameBoy carts on it still? That's the only thing I don't like about the DS.
    I've considered buying a DS many times, but the lack of GB support is the main thing holding me back right now. I've got more GB/GBC games than I do GBA, and I still play them from time to time.

    Your Best Game Deals Ever

    in General Discussion

    eBay auction. It was one of those mothers selling her child's stuff type of deals.

    ...

    Totally worth it.

    Very similar to what is probably the best deal I've ever got:

    Dreamcast (with all cables)

    2 controllers

    1 third party memory card

    Soul Calibur (which wasn't even on the eBay listing! )

    NBA 2K1

    Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

    Expendable (still don't think I've even tried that)

    two or three demo discs (from magazines, etc)

    2 N64 memory cards (...?)

    I think it cost me around $45-50 CDN. That was several years ago, and I can't quite remember the exact amount. It was probably another case of a parent selling their child's stuff... why else would there be N64 memory cards included?

    Recently, I traded an old copy of Pokemon Silver for the GBA remake of Donkey Kong Country 3. Others may beg to differ, but it was a great deal in my opinion.

    EDIT: I also got a copy of Conker's Bad Fur Day for $10 once. Gave it to my brother as a Christmas gift.
