OK, sent in the comments (director and remixes) to Liontamer. Short notice (mostly because I didn't really do them until today but why should I blame myself when I can blame everyone else?) but they're good.
Liontamer also asked about submitting tracks for the judges panel, but I was all like "DO THEM ALLLL!" and then I hit send. I suspect I will hear back about that, but until then!

Says the 6th: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoru_Iwata
Typo. I use the number row on top of the keyboard for numbers. I've been told to use the number pad all my life, but FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.
-
December 5th was Iwata's birthday, but I guess one day off is fine. Hell, worst case scenario, before the end of the year is acceptable.
-
Welp... only a few more days or so until release.
I hope everyone is happy with this small album. Not as cool as that giant Castlevania one, I suppose, but still a fun little album.
A nice mix of styles and some really good coverage of older, obscure games, which I'm always in favor of.
Thanks again to everyone! Hope you guys like it!

Man, there's this great show on but everyone's not watching it because it's exactly like a shitty movie based upon a shitty book based upon a shitty fanfic of a shitty series of novels about vampires fucking werewolves.
THOSE SEX SCENES RUINED EVERYTHING FOR US.
Even if you don't like the few pg-13 sex scenes, you still have:
1. a good premise (superhero that never got to be one, turned against herself and innocents, trying to find the man that made her a killer)
2. a really good villain (Killgrave is just sooo hate-able. You want him to get punched, but you love hearing him be an asshole)
3. decent drama (the scenes where Killgrave takes Jessica back to her old house, for once)
4. some funny as hell dialog between characters ("Killgrave? Why not just... Murderhole?")
So even if you are somehow magically turned off by sex scenes that are out-paced by friday-night rerun movies from the 80s, the rest of the show is still perfectly good.

Well, when your stated opinion is a comparison of a novel series (and a movie or two based upon them) that promotes an unhealthy BDSM-based relationship with a psychopath who treats the main character like shit because "she gradually learns to like it", to a TV series about a woman with super-strength, that has a soft-core, no-nudity sex scene (that I honestly didn't even remember happening until someone posted pictures about it)... you're going to get called out on it.
And thus, you have been called out on it.
To that matter, let's compare the number of sex scenes from the Shades movie to the JJ series.
The movie has 20 minutes of sex scenes, with a whopping 7 scenes (not counting nudity, not counting any of the strictly BDSM stuff, and not counting any of the ass-slaps, which would make that number MUCH higher).
Jessica Jones has... two? Three? I honestly can't remember. I can look up Shades stats easily (hence the above paragraph), but I can't find anything about JJ's sex scenes. Well, I guess that means people are more interested in the ones from Shades than JJ.
Poor man's 50 Shades of Grey, indeed...

Oh finally, someone wants to talk about this show.
This is what the movies are lacking: characters I can give a fuck about. Jessica was completely believable and plausible. She had powers, but she wasn't all bravado and guts like everyone in the movies. Even when The Avengers do get knocked down a peg or two, they just "slow-mo montage with inspiring music" their way through it and get right back up, just in time for the next big fight.
Yeah, good for them, but those movies aren't for thinking about: they're for sitting back and watching the action scenes and snappy one-liners. Jessica Jones is for sitting back, watching the characters actually have character, and see them do something about it. There isn't that much fighting or action in Jessica Jones, and I think that's the way to go now.
We've been watching Iron Man, Cap, Hulk and Thor smash the shit out of robots and tanks and planes and whatever while Black Widow, Hawkeye and Falcon judo/karate/krav maga their way through faceless minions for now many years now? It's fun and all, but it's all we really get to see any more. (I haven't seen Ant-Man yet, so I can't comment on that one)
Jessica Jones (and to somewhat a lesser amount in the case of Daredevil) gives us people that are just soooo realistically flawed and acceptable as people. She has to take shitty jobs for a really despicable lawyer, not go out and punch baddies. If she doesn't take those obs, she's out on the street. She barely gets physical unless she's either out of options or just patience. There's no massive force against her: every day life is against her. Oh, and Killgrave. Ooooh, Killgrave. That fucker!
I didn't even know David Tennent was in this show, so when I first saw him, it was a massive surprise. Killgrave is a right bastard, and I could not wait for someone to finally get their hands on him. Every time they did and he got away, I was thiiiis close to throwing the remote at the screen.
Best of the Marvel shows, hands down. I have high hopes for the future Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Defenders series now.

Darn, I don't remember if I actually put anything on my wishlist. D'oh.
YOU DID NOT. Not that I'm your Secret Santa
Or am I?
No, seriously, I forgot who I had this year. Anyone?
EDIT: OK, my actual secret santa recipient should see things sometime between December 1st and December 31st.
-
Just checking in. Remixes are done, artwork is like, 95%(?) done, nothing else really outstanding (as in needs to be done, not as in quality or work).
So... yeah.
-
7.5 / 10. Not enough goggles.
-
MORE PEOPLE!! MORE I SAY!!
The more that join in, the more stuff the rest of us get to be envious of.
EDIT: OH MY GOD. http://www.pokemoncenter.com has plush Substitute and Amaura. I wish to amend my wishlist.
-
I demand fourth person. With the ability to mod for fifth person.
I want my multi-dimensional point of view modes.
-
I knew telling people to do it would like work!
-
Once the artwork is done, we'll need to give it to Liontamer, I suppose. We'll also need to make sure it's available to whomever is doing the site.
-
WAV files are handed in, Liontamer has the link.
Only things remaining are finishing the artwork and making the webpage.

Right now, the tracklist is:
k-wix
Chernabogue
Sbeast
timaeus222
Brandon Strader
PokerusVGM
Also, Sbeast's track title is "Choose Your Character!", and Pokerus should have an accent on the e.
Otherwise, looks great to me!
All these things are correct. I want to end with PokerusVGM's cover, because it's a nice calming guitar song. And there's something about "going to a new land" that kinda ties into him passing...
The back cover looks awesome, Odai. Nicely done.
-
Agreed. Fire Red and Leaf Green are far superior in every way to Red and Blue. They look better, they sound better, they play better, more content, everything.
-
Not to mention that, supposedly (I never owned Yellow) you can't find any Pikachu in Virdian Forest, nor any Raichu. Combined with the fact that you can not use a Thunderstone on your Pikachu, you can not obtain a Raichu without trading. So... you know, minor thing.
-
Weeeelll... October 15th as a deadline was mostly to jsut make sure we had the most important part of the album done first: the remixes.
It wasn't reaaaaaally a hard deadline, so I guess it's not so bad. We still got a few weeks, so it's the best kind of on time: technically on time.
Thanks, Brandon. I take back everything Larry and Bob said about you.
-
I would say no version is better or worse than the other. Red and Blue are mostly identical, while Yellow has as few unique features.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version#Changes_from_Red.2C_Green.2C_and_Blue For what's different from Red and Blue.
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Red_and_Blue#Game_exclusives For the pokémon on each version.
If you want a Pikachu to follow you around, and get Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur without trading, Yellow is the answer. If you want the original experience, Red or Blue.

You could only transfer to Gold, Silver and Crystal originally. Anything from Ruby and Sapphire and on was a different system for not only stats but also storage in the game, making them pretty much incompatible with older games. It simply wasn't feasible at the time to make some sort of conversion system.
Though, I have heard of someone using some very specific custom hardware to emulate hardware and then use some self-made conversion software to allow trading from GSC to the GBA games... but that's just far too much work for something like that.
I doubt Nintendo will do so now, seeing how there would only be the DS and 3DS games, and those are still playable and transferable to current games. So there isn't really any point to transfer and convert something from Gen 1 to gen 4, skipping two whole iterations altogether.

"Satoru Iwata: Heart of A Gamer"?
I'm now concerned more with a site for the album. Nothing fancy, but we should get something up. But I've been unable to find any one that is free so far.
-
technically it was 128 Rare Candies, and 128 Master Balls too.
Uh, you don't get to correct me, this is a safe space! CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE!

So, if you watched the November 12th, 2015 Nintendo Direct, they dropped some serious bombs for 2016.
Stuff like Cloud from FF7 in Smash Bros, and, oh, something about MOTHERFUCKING POKEMON RED AND BLUE AND YELLOW ON 3DS!!
Not remakes, but the actual old Game Boy games, on the Virtual Console. It will be out world-wide for February 27, 2016, which is the 20th anniversary of the release date for the firs Pokémon game back in 1996!
The VC versions will keep the game identical to the originals, but will use the 3DS wireless system to allow for battling and trading. That means you should still be able to get 99 Rare Candies and then go catch Missingno.
