    Mega Man: The Wily Castle Remix Gauntlet 2011

    in Competitions

    Posted

    I'm going to take a couple of weeks off before I start my next competition. Grand Maverick Remix Battle will be pushed off a bit to make room for what I have planned for the fall. It's a bit of a different format and may possibly yield less music overall, but I think it'll be really fun for a lot of people.

    Rest assured, I will be doing another GMRB; if not this year, then very early next year (think January).

    I'm assuming that this is "what [you] [had] planned for the fall"? As awesome as this is going to be, are we still going to have the Maverick battle?

    I too remember Oregon Trail in elementary school. Might be the first shooter I ever played.

    I got an iPod and it was all buggy and didn't work well with my PC so I traded it for a 30gb Zune. It still works to this day, like 5 or 6 years later. My sister and her husband have gone through a few iPods. I do think Microsoft is very superior to Apple in both regards to construction, quality, and availability, but Apple's impact on the computing wurld is pretty undeniable. Could have been better. Like Microsoft.

    Microsoft is okay if you like unstable operating systems.

    Windows is a C++ clone of Macintosh's OS. Try reading the Apple v. Microsoft opinion sometime. It was Microsoft openly admitted in court that they stole Mac's design features, but their defense was that they had the license to do so.

    Microsoft scammed Apple with an agreement that Apple's idiot legal team didn't read in 1985.

    Also, I don't know what your sister and her husband did to their iPods to make them break so easily, but I still have mine from early 2007, and it works great.

    Anyhow, we have Steve Jobs to thank for the GUI being available on PCs - Windows included - so I hope Apple has a great backup plan because last time he left, the company approached bankruptcy.

    EDIT:

    ಠ_ಠ I don't get this, Jobs is a marketing genius, an incredibly savvy business man and the work he and Jonathan Ive put into the modern Apple tech line up is impressive, but very little of it is actually innovative. The vast majority of what Apple sells can be traced back to someone else, hell the first Apple personal computer is damn near a carbon copy of the computer xerox had made but essentially given up on. Who would want a computer in their home anyways?

    Incorrect.

    Xerox's GUI had solved some of the problems that Apple was having in developing the Lisa, but it was anything but a carbon copy. At most, Xerox's system inspired Apple's development team to keep pushing ahead with the project by showing them that their problems could be solved.

    Also, Xerox didn't exactly "give up" on it. The top brass at Xerox weren't interested in anything being developed that didn't have anything to do with photocopiers.

    I'm pretty sure that just means if you're done with the song don't just post it in the thread for him to dig through and find it.

    Nice style choice. A bit different than your usual stuff, but I like it. The actual arrangement wasn't terribly risky, though I'll leave it to your brother to give actual critiques on it, though.

    I wish to concur with this suggestion' date=' and add 909 - Gorgo.

    A couple friends and I get together every month or so to watch a few MST3K episodes. It's awesome to see just how long lasting of an impact Joel, Mike, and the Bots made on pop culture.

    And remember:

    I hadn't kept track of the show in its later years, so thanks for the heads up that they did a Gorgo episode! I'm going to check it out now!

    I always thought the Godzilla and Gamera episodes were some of the funniest, but part of that may be because I was so into kaiju as a kid.

    212 - Godzilla vs. Megalon

    213 - Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster

    302 - Gamera

    304 - Gamera vs. Barugon

    308 - Gamera vs. Gaos

    312 - Gamera vs. Guiron

    316 - Gamera vs. Zigra

    Thundercats 2011

    The only thing it's really lacking is the original theme song.

    I haven't seen this week's ep, but I really liked the pilot. Great action and voice acting. The second episode was a bit of a Moby Dick pastiche; I don't think it was a very strong second episode. I think this is one of those shows that will get better as they delve further into the mythology of the world. I'm on board.

    Don't want to ruin this week's episode, but the ending is fucking sweet.

    I like it a lot so far. From the various hints they've dropped throughout the show, I get the impression that these Thundarians are the descendants of the original ThunderCats, or at least some loosely interpreted version of them.

    Really looking forward to future episodes

    Hey if you're not going to post on-topic stuff, stop posting in this thread.

    Okay, how's this for on-topic...

    What was your hardest vote in the competition?

    Mine was the first round match up between TheGuitahHeroe and Gario.

    I'm fairly selective with the music that I listen to repeatedly, and I still listen to both of these on a regular basis. I still don't think that I'd be able to conclusively pick one over the other, it really just depends on the mood that I'm in.
