Antipode

I was just thinking that! It works very well for the card.

My favorite boomerang is from Oracle of Seasons. Launch it, and then control it around with the D-Pad! Cut down all the grass/bushes in just a few seconds, and hit enemies from around stuff! I honestly would prefer that to the stylus boomerang.

For me, having a GBA slot is far more important and useful than all the new features of the DSi put together. So, I'm waiting until it comes out, and then buying a DS Lite (when hopefully the prices will drop) to replace my Phat.

There are some things which I buy and some things I download. It entirely depends on the circumstance and the media. I download current episodes of TV shows that I'm interested in and can't see because I don't have cable or am away during the scheduled airing. I buy games that I know I'm going to get a huge amount of play out of, have really been looking forward to, or that are made by a struggling developer. I download games that don't fall into any of those categories but that I'm still interested in playing through (something I often won't have enough time to do with a rental). And so on. Frankly, systems like DRM, rental contracts, fees, and the actual length of time it can take just to get legal media are all inconvenient and drive piracy. Piracy offers the ultimate convenience, control, and satisfaction to the consumer (at least if they know what they're doing), and legal media still hasn't caught up to that. Once it does, maybe things will start to change. But for the time being, I'd think anyone could see the appeal. Oh no, I downloaded and played through Halo 2 PC. Now what? What are the effects of my download and playthrough? I had fun, I have never played it online, and I definitely wouldn't have bought it (and wouldn't even have been able to since it's intended for Vista only and I have XP, so I downloaded a user-converted copy - boom, it worked perfectly, with all the pointless restrictions of use removed). I don't feel any guilt over it, I had fun, I downloaded it and installed it quickly, easily, and for free on a system that shouldn't even have been able to run it. I do think there's something to be said against people who download ALL media they see or hear or play, but I see nothing wrong with moderate piracy when you at least think it through.

Yeah I dunno about that. I mean, it's cool they're doing a film score and all, but I can't see their style fitting the movie unless they're changing the style a lot from the original, or unless the score they make is very different from their popular music.

I'd just like to call out some naysayers and bump this thread! I'd still say after all this time that this project is right up at the top of my favorite album projects from this site - and it was the first! That's a hard bar to reach. I definitely think some of the best music OCR has produced is in it, and more importantly it's by far OCR's most cohesive project in atmosphere and in continuity - really, this is OCR's only "album", where the rest are just compilations - excluding maybe Rise of the Star. I do like the ambient tracks too, just as much as the others. All of Prot's tracks on this are gold, and the others are excellent. Check this out if you haven't. Its only weaknesses are the ambient tracks which understandably aren't some people's cup of tea (but I still feel are very necessary to atmosphere). I remember listening to this back when it came out, and I still listen to it today! In fact, I'm listening to it RIGHT NOW. Are you?

Yeah - somehow I doubt this new side-story is going to be anything more than just something they put up on their site. I don't think they would add in a whole new subplot into the game, unless they add in new Pirate lore or something to scan. What's changed about the Primes for this Wii release that I can see from the low-res videos: 16:9 widescreen support, aiming, firing and locking on in the style of Prime 3, the Prime 3 visor selection system using minus (you think the beam selection will now be handled with plus in that same way?), and possibly slightly better texture resolution(?). Hard to say, but it looked like some of those little red scan points in the video looked a little different (and sharper) than they used to. I'd like to hope, anyway! Other than that, nobody knows yet! New content and features ARE being added to the Pikmin release, so maybe they'll do the same for Prime. Either way, it's coming out in just a few days in Japan, so maybe we'll know soon. As with anything Metroid, even re-releases - I'll eat it all up.

IGN reviewed it and gave it an 8/10 along with an Editor's Choice award. They've been pimping this game for awhile and what they say in the review makes it look pretty good! Supposed to be really atmospheric and eerie, with what they call a sort of "Metroidian" design to how you explore new areas. So I'll definitely check this out.

Hey, this sounds pretty badass! I definitely think your sound has improved since Antigravity (particularly the first few in the preview list). Maybe I'll have to check this out! Are some of these the results of those dnb demo tracks you posted a long time ago?

Sam this is AMAZING. You have amazing talent. The vanilla dome part, the entire last half, and especially the ending just blew me away. DAYUM. If you made an album of original music as good as this and your Metroid mixes I would seriously buy it even if you charged 50 bucks for it CONSIDER THIS You've now made SEVERAL of the coveted couple dozen remixes I've saved and listen to on a regular basis.

Is it performing any faster than Vista was? What are your favorite things about the new interface?

NICE, I always wanted to hear the work that came out of this project. It would be undeniably cool if it were finally finished.

Well - I don't know if I'd say that. I still think RotC has a lot of charm and is really cohesive with prot's edits (and it did have some REALLY good tracks on it). A lot of it's a matter of taste since RotC went for a very different, more atmospheric kind of style. But I really did enjoy a number of these! BGC's track, Jose's track, zykO's track, and bLiNd's bonus track are my personal favorites. Considering how short the notice was, this project wound up being pretty impressive! You've got to keep in mind how quickly and efficiently this was done when you're listening to it (despite the release date). I'm glad I could finally get some new metroid material to listen to!

At last! Downloading. I've been in need of some Super Metroid love.

I still wish he would upload all 25 or so. I'd really like to hear some of the others that didn't place. Anyway Skryp, I'm downloading!

Yeah, I think I might want to get that. The play itself looks maybe a little generic but the art and music just looks a little too badass to pass up.

NICE, I did NOT know there was a new one!

We should have people post creations in this thread! I'd love to hear what can be done with it (even short loops). I've messed with it and it's a lot of fun. Would be great for a road trip!

All I want to say is the thread title is awesome.

Hahaha thanks! I've fixed up some tagging issues on the FLAC release of this (and the albums) so it's all good to go again.

The auto-embedding on this forum is kinda annoying sometimes... I wasn't trying to embed that.

EDIT: I think this should have been called Rocket Roll

There, I took it too.

Hey y'all! Since the release of Superscape I've been working on a new EP - and I've just finished it! Where Am I? is a concept EP with connected tracks and a kind of "first person" perspective, focusing on the difference between "inside" and "outside". It has three tracks (ambient, funk and breakbeat). It might be short (it's only about 15 min) but I'm hoping it's worth your while! You can download Where Am I? from the spotlight on the right at http://antipodemusic.googlepages.com. Enjoy! Please leave some comments! And yeah eventually I WILL make a remix - I've just been into other things for the time being.
