thanks for all the suggestions, people. i'd like it better if people did what ryan did, where they broke it down. like i said, i'm not much of a retro gamer, so i'm not looking for a list fifty games long - i'm looking for like three or four recommendations that i haven't heard before.

note that i said "real". don't want a knockoff.

those who know me know that i've played very few pre-N64 games, and mainly focus on modern gaming on my 360, PS3, and PC. after thinking about it extensively and seeing stuff at magfest, i'm interested in investing in a cart-based system - probably the SNES. i generally prefer RPGs, action games, and some puzzlers and racing titles. i DON'T play fighting games. i would prefer to not pay a huge amount for these games, either. i never got into castlevania or megaman, either, so i'm not that interested in them. i'm thinking about the following titles. super mario world - got it super mario kart yoshi's island mario paint pilotwings chrono trigger final fantasy II US (?) final fantasy III US kirby super star beyond these, however, i have NO clue what's out there. really. suggest something! also, what accessories would i need? i'm thinking i only need one controller, but anything else i should be aware of?

i'm interested in trying out a real SNES, seeing as i've never owned anything older than an N64 (i had a game boy once, that was it). so, i'm in the market for a real SNES, as well as the following games: super mario world, final fantasy 4-6 (1-3? dunno the nomenclature), mario paint, super mario kart, chrono trigger? i'm also open to suggestions beyond that.

symphony of science is awesome - i found it on youtube a while back. i really like the fourth one.

got that up there.

lol, did you just call me a troll? are you serious? do you know anything about the people you're calling a troll? this is loltastical.

this is comedy gold. can someone shoop some of the more memorable lines onto an image of some real-life troll like lohan or something? seriously. you've been on the internet since '02 and you don't realize that saying shit like this doesn't do anything except for provide more material for those antagonizing you? how old are you? fourteen? seriously, timbaland, just take a shill pill and go steal someone else's chiptune.

everyone's free to sub their mix as long as it's specifically noted as a project mix - as in, it doesn't get posted until the project comes out.

write something and i'll realize it (if it's good:tomatoface:).

i think you're just jelous of are remixing abilitys, man. seriously now, this is possibly the stupidest comment i've ever heard in regards to the art of composition. do you KNOW what an arrangement is? someone ban this damn troll. honestly, no one's this stupid - this has to be an alt. ps: what does money have to do with anything? do you see prices per download here? that's so totally off the wall, i don't even know what to say. pps: you edited your post to include one of my favorite remixes - i agree! that's a fantastic example of a remix. that is not the ONLY way to remix, though. that's like saying that photorealistic paintings on canvas with oil paints are the only real forms of artwork. where does impressionism go then? what about stuff like the sistine chapel? that's not photorealistic, but it's possibly one of the greatest forms of artwork in western culture. by your definition, that's actually a TRAVESTY because the guy who created the images portrayed in that work (aka jesus) didn't make it. ridiculous!

yeah, that. i always see mag as a melting pot. we're ALL nerds with social issues - so just dive in. we can't seem that strange when everyone's that way.

do you listen to anything on the front page? summoning of spirits? or the christmas albums? how about that project i ran? *facepalm*

i'll likely take a track in a year or so when it's clear which tracks people don't want. until then, write me down for collaboration for anyone who needs sax, vocals, etc.

just for reference, gtahater, msot people browse these boards with a light theme on - making all these colors you use in various threads completely impossible to read. try to stick to normal colors =) thanks!

i'm not even going to deign that ridiculous tomfoolery with a real response. why don't you write some remixes and show us how it's done, arrangement jesus?

you say this a lot, don't you

for people who don't use google (there's a religion where google's the antichrist, no joke): this is an htpc/streaming media pc. it allows you to stream videos from youtube, hulu, and other free online sources as well as from your PC. it also streams music from pandora, last.fm (without the shitty 360 interface or nasty ps3 browser), and your computer as well. it outputs in full 1080p with full 7.1 surround sound (most computers and gaming consoles can do one but not the other), and features support for third-party subtitles, virtually all major media formats, and a qwerty-enabled remote to dispense of the hassles of a wireless keyboard/mouse setup. it also features an impressive stock of downloadable plugins and applications to extend user connectivity and general usefulness. tbh, if you don't know what an HTPC is or why you'd use it as opposed to the totally borked 360 streaming interface or the feature-barren ps3 media center option, then you'll probably not purchase it. as someone who deals extensively with digital media (sooooo much cheaper to purchase than hard copies), this is ideal for me. plus, it's impossible to find anything - ANYTHING - that'll stream full 1080p in HD with HD sound for under 350$ while still offering connectivity to the web (aka, not the 360 or ps3). and this is 200$. sign me up! edit: i forgot the biggest feature - you don't have to leave your tv hooked up to your pc, meaning that long cross-room cables and the noise induced from long cabling runs are gone, too. not to mention you don't have to deal with the hassle of having your tv reset your monitors every time it's turned on.

i have two terabytes of videos. go ahead, feel free. not to mention that conversions ALWAYS reduced quality, both audio and video. this is all besides the point that i don't really have anything that's able to play those files on my tv - the only thing in the house that can play true 1080p is my desktop...which is, as i mentioned before, too far from the tv to make it worth it. another interesting thing about the boxee - since it accesses my home computer differently than most network-only devices, i can take it to a friend's house and stream stuff from my home computer flawlessly.

the boxee box is an htpc/media entertainment center that plays all types of video, audio, and links with several major websites. it replaces a computer being hooked up to the tv full-time. rama, this is perfect, really. ps3 needs you to manually decode most of the more esoteric forms of video (like matroska) and isn't the most graceful streamer of music either. oh, and this has full 10.1 flash support, whereas the ps3's browser sucks donkey dick. a modded original xbox can't handle good HD video without occasional hiccups, and it doesn't support hulu or the website features. a laptop's nice, but you've gotta hook it up every time (not to mention most laptops don't like 1080p streaming that much, there are few that'll work without being a lot of money). and a desktop won't support any tv through a digital output (a la hdmi) without 'recognizing' it every time you turn the tv on, which'll screw up multi-monitor support and everything every time you change the channel on the tv (i know this for certain, my tv screws up my three monitors every time). 200 for seamless integrated media support? that's even better than one of those netbook media centers running XBMC or something, and this has gigabit internet, integrated .11n wireless, sd card support, optical audio out, and lots of installable apps to sweeten the deal. this is a stunning item that i'd easily pay 300 for, and it's only 200...with a full qwerty remote! ps: connor, check this out for more information about the boxee box.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/boxee-box-officially-announced-under-200-flash-10-1-support/ the boxee box has officially been announced. honestly? i can't build an htpc with those features for 200$. i'll be buying one. what about you? has anyone else been following set-top htpcs lately? there's some cool stuff available. considering this'll do facebook, twitter, pandora, hulu, just about any streaming audio, video, or picture content, AND look good at the same time...it's perfect. /necrobump update: boxee box releases in nine days. it's available at amazon, with some features listed on-site there. link here.

hey man, do you know any metulz? after that whole homicide of homeless people showed up and were just smelling up the room, i'm glad we were able to jam for a while. it was mad fun, dude. YOU! i need to get in touch with you!
