The Coop

If memory serves, if... - you're a posted OC Remixer - you've done things to help the site out - you've helped out with projects and such (being the director, making websites, etc.) ... then I believe you can request one. However, it's still up to Liontamer to decide if A) the avatar is of good enough quality, and if you're eligible.

Indeed. I posted a link to this album in .org's AIMMS thread, and made threads for it on ReMod, Shmups.com and Sega-16.

Shouldn't this have been in the projects forum? Anyway, glad to see it finally got completed. Bravo to all involved Edit: Oh, and I posted a link to the album in .org's AIMMS thread, and pimped it on ReMod.

Not many songs get me to the point of tears forming. Not because I don't feel the emotion the music is trying to convey, it's more along the lines that I need more than a moving song to... well, move me so much as to make me tear up. But if there are visuals to go with it, then it stands a better chance of impacting me. As an example, the song in this video, on its own, likely wouldn't get me misty-eyed. There is certainly emotion in it, but its coupling with the animation... well, it got to me the first time I watched and listened.

So it's not "Portrait of a Plumber Forever"?

They're covering all right... ... covering that they couldn't think up another original music idea for their album.

Check your PMs.

NPCs are stronger than the enemies you face. Hit an enemy with a bullet, drop a grenade near one, and the pussies die right there. Do the same to an NPC, and they'll yell at you about watching what you're doing as they walk off without a scratch. Somehow the little belt you have on can hold multiple guns, swords, shields, health potions, staffs, crossbows and such, all at the same time... yet your ass isn't encumbered by any of it. If I ever get into a horrific car crash, somewhere, somehow, there will be several high-speed cameras around to capture the ensuing cascade of flying metal, sparks and body parts from multiple angles in crystal-clear slow motion. Marines in the distant future will be made up of incredibly fat men and women when they finally journey into space. That's the only logical reason for why they won't be able to step over foot-high walls.

Transformers: War for Cybertron

Hurry! Coming Soon(ish).

I've been tooling around with this very cool program, mostly just tinkering with my own remixes (don't feel like transferring files from CDs right now). The end results sounded like something out of the game I of the Dragon with "The Dead of Winter,", "A Few More Miles To Go" was pretty soothing, and... I don't know to say about "Brinstar's Good Enough" Can't wait to try out others, and studio-produced songs.

Why be a GYM coach when VGZ sounds so much better? That don't make no sense, man.

Head coach? Very nice, GT. Very nice indeed. Sorry to see you go. You've been around for a good while, and even though we didn't always see eye to eye, you were fun to read and chat with. Getting head coach is a big jump, and knowing you've wanted to do that kind of thing for a long time makes me smile for you. Props on your career continuing forward, and props for the music you've made. Hopefully you won't abandon music as a whole, as you've got the skills. It'd be a shame for it all to just get 100% dropped. But whether it does or doesn't, I wish you the best of luck as a head coach. May it last many, many years. Take care old timer.

Indeed. But a warning to you Luke... -=STAY AWAY FROM THE GBA VERSION OF R-TYPE III=- Holy shit is it messed up. The got the graphics right for the most part, and nothing else. Music? Horrendous. Sound effects? Meh. Hit detection? Completely and utterly fubar. Screen space for maneuvering? Noticeably smaller. There's a spot that, as far as I can tell, you can't get past normally because there's less space on the screen (GBA's lower reso than the SNES) and the buggered hit detection. It's botched... badly. As such, stick to SNES version. True. I've 1CCed it twice on my PS2 compilation. Not easy, but doable.

So... skip the SNES version he's bad at, and go to the noticeably harder arcade version. ... Are you trying to make him cry?

Re-read the article, especially the third paragraph...

It's a legitimate concern, and I can understand why it would upset some people since we're still in the middle of fighting that conflict. As the article mentioned, we're not removed from it yet as it's not become a "past" war. That said, it's a war video game with fictional characters and events put in real-world settings. It's fiction. Plus, many games let you play as one side or the other, so why should this one be any different? It's not going to recruit people to the Taliban cause, and it's not going to belittle, disrespect or make a mockery of the real soldiers who have given their lives. This isn't going to be some joke like the JFK assassination game, or the one where you could fly a jet into the Twin Towers, so I sincerely doubt the multiplayer will have "YOU SHOT A FILTHY AMERICAN DOG! ALHAMDULILLAH!" and show pictures of dancing Arabic villagers popping up every time you frag an opponent. I also doubt the names of the soldiers in the game will be taken directly from the casualty list of the current war. As a result, I don't see how it's being disrespectful at all. This game's multiplayer will do what scores of others have done... have virtual good guys and bad guys, let you choose a side, and then have polygons firing polygons at polygons. It doesn't really matter if it's a past scenario or a current one, it still boils down to that. And if being able to play as a Nazi, the Soviets, the Viet Cong, and other U.S. adversaries in multiplayer games has come to pass, then why not the Taliban? I don't believe there's a 20 year "wait until the war's over" clause somewhere, so... ... Strikes me as bit strange how some have no problem with a virtual us shooting a virtual them, but let it get flipped around, and then it's suddenly going too far.
