'aight then, I guess I'll go ahead and buy this tomorrow (today, technically). That is, October the 15th (Thursday). Edge and K-wix, if you guys want to go ahead and paypal 33.75 to biggiantcircles AT gmail DOT com that'd be awesome. And PM me your Steam ID's if I'm not already your friend on there. Edge, I think you're on my list already, but couldn't hurt to PM me anyway. I'm too lazy to check right this sec. Remember to Paypal using the *gift* option or whatever, so Paypal doesn't take out a fee or some garbage. Thanks fellers.

No doubt. Although, I can't believe people still fall for this crap.

Eh, I liked the older version better. Sorry. NO. I keed, I keed. This sounds great man. Don't immediately recall the old version since it's been a while, but I almost prefer to evaluate this with that kind of re-fresh perspective. There's lots of cool and fun ear candy going on, and I think the EQ sounds great. If the Matrix and the James Bond franchise had a baby, and there was a ninja/spy fight scene in that movie, this should be the soundtrack. Source relativity remains thoroughly intact, and the execution is groovy. Third try is indeed a charm. Also, I think since you mentioned that you felt that the mix is not as much "your" song now as much as "everyone else's", I think that while it's good to stay *true to yourself* and all that, it's also important to learn the art of objectivity in your music. There's a difference between writing to accommodate someone else's feedback, and being a *sellout*. (I "like" to put "things" in *stars* or *quotes* in this "vote" it *seems*). It's OK to let others influence your music from time to time, but that doesn't have to mean that the mix is no longer yours or anything. And it's cool that you acknowledge that it's helped you to grow as a musician. YES I feel like we've all learned a little something here today. This mix was brought to you by the letter Y, and by Honey-Nut Cheerios.

Aw c'mon man, yeah you can. Use that cash that you saved getting that super deal on your Profire That thing was only like $150 from Newegg mang. Also, that skin is effin badass

Ah, heck, been a while, I suppose I should go ahead and post this here. Finally rocking the dualies. As I said to Zircon earlier, I'm a bit late to the party. But hey, at least I'm at the party, right? Also, Conyeezy, are those DSM series monitors?

Well, in all fairness it's not really accurate to generalize it so entirely. There's hundreds of presets, and there's bound to be a ton that don't require much or any tweaking at all to get to the level that his examples are on. Plus, with the Kore soundpack, you already have 8 pre-programmed sub-sounds to morph between from the original sound, and each of those 8 sounds has 8 pre-assigned knobs that are also super duper easy to tweak without even having to worry about "learning" Absynth. The Kore soundpack route is probably the cheapest and most beginner-friendly, IMO.

Eh, dunno about the other two, but Omnisphere for sure. If you don't feel like spending $480 or so, then maybe check out Absynth Twighlights for like $59 or so. Heck, you might even just dig around the free Kore player, it may have a few decent pads if you don't have any money at all to spend. But otherwise, anything with the name Absynth in it would have something for you I think for less money.

Haha, now watch 'em bend over and take it like the whiny strawberries that they all are. Bunch of muppets.

very nice. cool and brisk. not too shabby!

Yeah, I gotta call him again tomorrow, he texted me today and said his wife might want to get it to, so I need to make sure first.

what's not to like about Jack Black, as long as you don't take him too seriously or something?

Breakdown: All three tracks are boss themes, the final sequence of this game is like a bunch of boss battles (sort of) with tracks 28 and 29 being the Final battle, parts 1 and 2. 0:00 - 0:16 (referencing track 29) 0:16 - 0:40 (track 28 intro and the arpgeggio from 24 overtop) 0:40 - 2:00 (melody is pretty much verbatim 28 with a few flourishes for color) 2:00 - 2:16 (strings are adapted melody reprise from 28 ) 2:16 - 2:48 (track 24 arp) 2:48 - 3:20 (synth solo overtop source chord progression. mostly original but makes tentative reference to the main melody of 28 ) 3:20 - 3:36 (back to verbatim source 28 ) 3:36 - 3:52 (modified melody from 28 ) 3:52 - end (all 3 sources being referenced here). This is for Joker's Boss Themes Project FYI. Notable notations that are noteworthy: Symphonic choirs, look at me go I just programmed 'em to say gibberish, I don't remember exactly, mainly just stuff like "Mee NO Da LO Oompa Loompa La La" for all it's worth. Long as it sounds epic-ish. Also, this track was made for a guitar lead. Um, enjoy?

How funny. I've had this very idea for months now, and last night I was even about to go ahead and post it, but my sleepiness got the better of me. I endorse this.

So you paid for sex then?

Not having to deal with the clutter of 70+ boxes is one of the strong reasons I prefer the download system. I mean, I'm not anti-hard copy or anything. I just personally prefer to have a mobile/modular digital system lately. I'm also cool with "well, I really love this game, and want to have something tangible to look at and read/touch/make out with"

very cool man! question, though, why is PG Banker, and why did the youtube info credit them, (tha bastards!)?

Dude, that has got to be the coolest review I have read ever. Thanks, man!

Personally I don't really see the point of buying hard copies of games anymore if you don't have to.

Aight, cool. I guess I'll go ahead and buy as soon as I find out if his cxlation at GamePoop goes ok. Strike, right, I realized that after I typed it. I don't think I have anything against Gearbox, though. I liked Opposing Force and Blue Shift anyway.

just now read this. The group buy is a competitive alternative to Black Friday deals. You don't have to brave the traffic or crowds to get a pretty solid deal ($33.75 each) on either game if you do it that way. Just saying

Yeah, I should know for sure probably tomorrow or by the latest sometime this week. He already pre-ordered for 360 at Gamestop (like $65! geez!), but I called him and told him about the group buy, and he was like "Oh man, eff that, I'll go there tomorrow and see if I can cancel it". But otherwise, it's looking like we have 3/4 at this point. BGC BGC bro-in-law EdgeCrusher

iknowrite???

Really stellar track, per usual Sixto. I'm just constantly amazed by the quality of your tracks, man. It's one thing to write a track that's like wall-to-wall sound, but it's another to still make it happen cleanly.

Oh man, I just now saw this. I think the game looks kind of neat, plus it's by 2k games, and they did Bioshock, right? I'm definitely down for the 4 pack, and I might possibly get my bro-in-law in on this too.

Use a bile bomb on a tank? Reviving dead survivors? Dang man, this has seriously got me pumped again. All the douche bags who are boycotting this game are going to get it anyway and then love it, and they're all gonna feel like morons. Dang, I'm stoked after reading that list!
