Any of the "space animals" in smash bros. Luigi, Link, Lucario, King Dedede, and Kirby That's a lot of L's there... Really, I'm ok with Link, but that's only because he's relatively similar to Yoshi as far as fitting into my play style...although not as much now as in the original game. (Interestingly enough Yoshi and Link both had the same person design their moveset in SSB64).

Yes, I will sell the stand separately, just let me get back in touch with my dad to make sure he can find it. I've heard lots of professionals like to use Benges as their practice horns, and for Jazz type stuff. Most the time students use them though. (I'd still plug it as a better than average student horn really).

I've got a Los Angeles era Benge Bb trumpet I'd like to sell. Serial Number is 43017 No mouth piece, it's been cleaned, silver lacquered, little to no dings or dents, comes with the original case, snake, cheeserags, Music Stand, and cup mute Trumpet alone is priced at $700+Shipping $740+shipping with Stand, and mute ($20 each). Cup Mute is a Humes & Berg Music stand is a solid black one that can come apart (not a wire stand). Benge trumpets are good professional quality trumpets, that are often picked up by college/highschool students (because they are far cheaper than professional Bach's for example). I have had difficulty selling this instrument, because it's not a Bach. I'm hoping that a community of music lovers/creators aren't as blinded by name brand recognition as the general masses are while looking for instruments.

It means heaven.

You know he's just going to say the same thing to you that he's said the past bazillion times "proov it! I don't know it exists and I know everything so it must not exist!" Really, every valid thing everyone has said has gotten a "nuh-uh that's wrong, my way is the only right way" or it has gotten a "I've never heard of it so it doesn't exist and you're stupid for saying it to me!" I kind of think he's just a really stinky un-amusing troll.

I don't need to give supporting evidence because a blind deaf man could find it on the internet and all around him in the real world without trying. I'm pretty convinced if you aren't aware of artist culture than you haven't ever looked beyond the tip of your own nose, and guess what, I'm not going to do the work for you, you lazy annoying bum. Or maybe you're just a really good troll, that fails at being amusing like most the other resident trolls of this forum. Edit: OH just for one quick one off so you can't fully go "wah wah wah you are biased and evil and never give me any proof" Ever heard of Stock art? Yeah probably not, I'm not telling you what it is, figure it out yourself.

I like how he ignored it when I actually explained in depth why I found enjoyment and have often felt a want to play certain music (since it sounds fun). It's also really funny how he says "remixing" in a manner of speaking doesn't happen in other art communities, when it does, really rampantly, sometimes with the blessings of the original artist. Which is why I say and uphold, that he obviously has a lot less idea of anything in art, art history, how art was made in history and now than he is aware of.

I like it! Some of it reminds me of the skyzone in Dinoland (some pinball game on the sega). Kindof random..

Yes, "because it sounds like a fun" is totally irrationally. First of all I think the stupidest thing anyone can do is try to apply arbitrary rules on what is and isn't art. I consider everything to be art if there is artistic intent, even if it's some crackpot person that smears menstrual blood on a canvas and calls it art. Second of all, since you fail to understand "I enjoy playing music" let me try again since you apparently only work in blocks of killer text. I just got pleasure from playing music when I still did it. I enjoyed the act of pushing the valves all in the right order, being in tune with the rest of my section, popping the third valve slide out when I had to, and hearing the dynamic quality change throughout a piece. I like the feel of buzzing and controlling the sound I enjoy hearing the mix of my trumpet with the rest of the band/orchestra, it moves me and makes me feel energized, or peaceful to play music I like the sound of. I like the texture created by many instruments playing together, and being part of all of that. I liked the "deep blue velvety" sound I could produce on my instrument. I did not play my trumpet for others to enjoy, I played it for me, and only me. You can say that isn't art, and it's disrespectful to the original composer and I don't care, because what you think of it doesn't matter. And most composers I have dealt with love to have their music played by others, they love to hear how it is interpreted, and what improvements, YES improvements that the director or band may make upon their original idea. Yes, actually they have quite a lot actually, but you don't seem to have been exposed to very much of any kind of art, be it musical, visual, or literary. And if you have you could have fooled me. Or perhaps I have seen more, having grown up with all kinds of music my whole life, and majoring in art itself.

Sorry I wasn't too clear, mostly my brain went "oh no you gotta warn this guy that the op is insa-ne!" And then about midway through posting I realized I wanted to eat lunch, so I forgot the whole "look out!" part or something.

Apparently "most people" means "all people" now.

The OP believes that performing other peoples music and interpreting it is evil, horrible and wrong, if I remember the last thread they made correctly.

And where did I say that anything made by fans is automatically made of suck? Oh right I didn't.

Yeah it is, but I wouldn't compare something like this to fan-fiction. Yes there is good fanfiction out there that you have to dig really hard for as Bleck mentioned. But really I'd be leery of it simply because of the "fanfic" aspect of it, most people just can't craft something good with the tools they are given. A big budget does not a great movie make.

Well when I actually played music, generally the music I wanted to play was because it was music I enjoyed listening too, and was also fun music to play. Not all music I like to listen to is fun to play though and well I wouldn't play it in that case. I'm sure most people that have played an instrument understand what I mean when I say some music just sounds fun to play. But I still want to know, why wouldn't people play other peoples music?

If it is a fan-project, I'd still be a little suspicious of it, I mean it's not very often that good fan-fics come out of anything...

If that is true, that is awesome.

I have a better question, why shouldn't I play other peoples music? Cue another retarded 'my way is the only right way' thread.

No, you should just keep holding on as tight as you can, maybe something nice will happen.

E.V.O: The Search for Eden I dunno, I remember renting that game so much when I was a kid (and then my mom buying it on E-bay for me many years later, because apparently I REALLY liked the game more then even I remember). Good game, haven't seen/played anything like it sense. (I really don't think Spore comes remotely close to counting, it could have, but it failed).

Oooh I have an idea! Now lets see if I actually draw it....

If you're just naming characters after people you know without the characters representing the people you know, then common names on their own can't normally be copyrighted or sued over. Now if you are giving characters first and last names of people you know, that's walking a fine line, and if you are also making the characters look/act like their namesakes, well you better hope they don't find a reason to take you to court over it.

I liked the anonymous entries, but I would like to actually see the tally of scores at the end.

If you want to be really nit-picky the symbol from those religions can still be recognized as not a swastika since they rotate in the opposite direction as one. There are still statues and the like with that particular symbol on it now for these cultures, without bringing up thoughts of Nazi Germany. I suppose most people won't notice that it's backwards though and just go "omgomgomgitsaswastika!" instead. I don't really have anything to say on topic, I'm just bored right now.

I'm for that, just pm me and stuff so I can plan for it. I'll PM my exceptionally empty schedule to you later so you know when I can and can't be around. As a side note, after spending about 2 hours staring at a mudkip as I lined and colored it in I have to say, they are some pretty creepy little guys given enough time. Also, only got 4 more sketches to clean up and color! Also also, should I sign up for these mystical forums?
