  1. Hey guys! December is upon us and it is time once again for our somewhat annual Christmas Competition. I don't think we had one last year, but I don't see what's stopping us from having one now!

    Think of it like the Halloween competition that just ended, only more festive and less scary :)

    TEH RULES:

    -Songs are due Christmas Eve, no doubt you'll want to spend Christmas day listening to the songs [it's like getting presents!] and unwrapping your Nintendo 64s. I may extend the deadline if we don't get many entries.

    -The songs should be pretty festive. They don't have to have the whole sleighbells and reindeer deal, just in line with the whole holiday spirit.

    -Of course, the songs must be from an anime or cartoon - throwing traditional Christmas songs into your mix would be super cool too!

    -When you finish with your song, send a link [from your own hosting, rapidshare, senduit, or any easy-to-figure-out filehosting site] to overcoat at gmail dot com or send it to me on IRC [i am usually on irc.esper.net].

    That's all folks! If you want to know the kind of thing we're looking for, here's a beautiful christmas remix by sephire:

  2. What about a game like Unreal where people like Basehead or Necros worked on certain songs? Does that count as fan-made music? I always wondered what the story was with how they got their music in the game. Probably because they were friends with Siren [aka Alexander Brandon] or something :P

  3. I collaborated with Gwilym a very long time ago, practically a month or so after Renoise 1.9 came out, with its fancy new instrument library and all. Somehow or another, I got a hold of Gwilym and we wrote a song together that he titled "Pidgeotto" for some reason. This being Thanksgiving, I can only imagine Ash, Professor Oak, Gary, and Ash's hot mom sitting down at a table enjoying a giant roast Pidgeotto. mmmm... Anyway, you can download the song here:

    Mick Rippon was supposed to do something with this song too but he'll never get around to it, so here it is, it is done. Unless Gwilym wants to do something more with it. There you go.

  4. DEMOCRACY IS NOT NEGOTIABLE

    I tried to nuke Liberty Prime but bitch wouldn't go down

    Also, with my evil character, Sydney got stuck in the chamber with Sarah Lyons. . Yeah, still with me because that one quest broke :D. She looked on as Sarah quickly died from radiation poisoning.

  5. Much like flac but much MUCH moreso, a high-end connection and bittorrent is now standard at pretty much all computers. In all good torrent clients you can choose NOT to download the .wavs and if you do want lossless you can just wait for a while.. it's not a big deal :/

    Why are you arguing against compressing .wav files for download? It's as easy as ONE PERSON putting the .wav files in a zip or rar archive letting everyone else download the lossless files faster.

    I don't know why you feel the need to tell me these things. I've been using uTorrent for many years now. I know how BitTorrent works...

  6. I don't see why you guys still think FLAC is not accessible enough. Even still, if you made the files .flac that'd be a step in the right direction for lossless distribution of popular media.

    What I'd like to see is 128-256 kbps VBR for MP3s and high-compressed .flac.

    If you really want to distribute raw .wav files, for the love of god at least compress them with .zip or .rar. VotL's torrent is like twice the size it needs to be [i will forever make fun of Zircon for this]

  7. You know, I talked to WAVE [Jeroen Tel] a bit after we compo'd on IRC a few months ago - I told him about OC Remix and he was quick to tell me he hated the remixes of his stuff because they got all the notes wrong :P but this is the first remix of a Tel tune in a long long time, the other ones are all old and horrible sounding, unfortunately. If he ever comes on IRC again I'll tell him about this one and see if he changes his mind.

    He probably won't though because that's just how he is D:

  8. Did you make an agreement with the Enclave..? I haven't done it myself but I would imagine that it would give you a different ending

    I really wish you could ally with the Enclave, I dunno if you can. If it's possible though: AMERICA, FUCK YEAH. I'm gonna see what I can get Eden to let me do. With my good character the first time around, I got him to shut down and make Raven Rock explode.

    I just started killing Brotherhood on a whim really. I was just like "fuck it" and started going crazy in the room with the robot :D

    I only ran into 4 or 5 essential characters, actually, Elder and Sarah Lyons of course, Captain Vargas, and Gallows. The Outcasts are now also all dead D:
