electro-house doesn't seem to be in Ishkur's guide!

Speak for yourself, I'm totally bringing a drum machine in the form of my iPad.

Mine's "Arcana". I'm installing my game on my home computer now. I think I'd like to play the single player for a while, multiplayer doesn't really interest me much to be honest.

I bought this game today on a whim. Installing it on a school computer now but I won't really be able to play until tonight.

"You got 22 out of 50 Best Selling Video Games (Worldwide)." spoilerOcarina of Time isn't actually in the Top 50 list, it gives you some of the ones shown if they're not Top 50 but it doesn't give you credit. I missed some really obvious ones like the Sims and GTA series. I didn't even consider Pokemon until someone mentioned it to me accidentally when they were looking at the quiz. I got FFX and Myst below the list too. ><

If someone has a large enough hotel room (or adjoining rooms with connecting doors, possible if we're all in the same hotel) then people could visit for gaming/eating/snacking/drinking/musicing activities.

Isn't this more a homage through imitation than a ripoff?

Hmm, I registered and didn't get into this game. As for MMORPGs I'm personally waiting to see what they pull off with TERA Online http://tera-online.com/ I had the privilege of playing in both of their North American Focus Group tests and they seem to be seriously listening to the feedback given by the players. Unfortunately, the game was supposed to be a late 2010 release but they pushed it to 2011.

My iPod for a while was set to play a song at random from my playlist. I have a particular MP3 that I use as my ring tone. So when that song played on my alarm I was all like "OH MY GOD MY PHONE" and then looked around for it for about a minute before realising that it was not my phone at all. /cool story bro

If you can, take any song that you like, and open up an audio editor like Audacity. Set it up so that it crescendos to maximum volume over five or ten seconds. What you get then is instead of a HUGE JOLT that disturbs you, you get a feeling that you are being lifted out of sleep. As for a track suggestion: GrayLightning: http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01288/

That is more about playing than instruments. Melodic leads, simple arpeggios, and moderate tempo. Sfz+ is free. You could also use the Fruity Soundfont player if you have paid enough into the program.

I use Logic Studio 9. Good default and build in sounds, the program is very stable and solid, UI had a lot of power and flexibility.

I know that you asked about using RAID for speed access increases, and not reliability, but I thought I'd just point out that many people mistakenly think that doing mirrored RAID is a backup. IT ISN'T. RAID basically allows you to keep your machine online as long as possible, so that if a drive fails, your machine will keep running until you can install another drive. So keep those backup solutions handy!

Sounds like it might be worth it, even the single player mode sounds good. I was hoping that the game might be over the Internet so my girlfriend and I could play together (we are long distance). So that's why I'm interested in knowing what the multiplayer is like - can you for example have someone who's much lower level than you join in on your party?

Download Squidfont and the other soundfonts on Darkesword's page as a good starting point. Squidfont is an orchestral pack that has good voilin section as well as some brass and woodwinds. On the page there's also other sound fonts including a harp, a sax, a timpani, and more. IIRC Mitsuda is mostly stuff like acoustic guitar, saxophone, harp, strings, but he also likes ethnic samples and orchestral samples too. You might want to download a brush jazz kit as well for light percussion. I don't think there's any "samples" per say that are exemplary of his style.

Anyone play this? Can anyone give a user impression of the game? I used to be a big fan of Dragon Quest but I haven't really played a game in depth since Dragon Quest IV. I didn't finish DQ7 and didn't play DQ8. I hear that the multiplayer is fun but that it's local wifi only. Can anyone give some impressions of that too?

And it's done Spain wins just like everyone predicted

Wow I didn't know he had died. So these "In Memoriam" threads do have their purpose. In loving memory to Reuben.

You might be able to get some more insightful information (maybe this will lead into that but I don't know your research methods) if you ask about which services can be sacrificed in favour of which other services. The problem is that without being specific, there's no way that anyone can say that their experience will improve if you sacrifice some content in favour of other content. The funny thing is that if I phrased the question such as: then you'd get a vastly different set of answers.

I thick I had six people at my house when I first bought Final Fantasy III. (6j) I was the first person in my school to buy it so all of the RPG nuts wanted to see it.

For stuff like this you probably want a sampler, not a synthesizer. What's the difference? A sampler takes audio recordings and plays them back when you play notes. Samplers usually shift the pitch of your sample when you play different notes. A synth takes some kind of a wave form and does a bunch of stuff to it to make a sound. So it might take a square wave that goes "bloop", and then you apply a bunch of filters to modify the sound. If you're still interested in learning about a synthesizer, you might want to read about subtractive synthesis. Synth1 is a free software subtractive synthesizer.

Chances are the most complicated program you'll need are programming languages, which are generally quite easy to run and don't require much power. The most advanced program you'll probably use on a regular basis is an IDE like Eclipse or MS Visual Studio. You'll have labs for that kind of stuff though, I didn't have a laptop through the entirety of my software engineering program and made it through but that was 8 years ago.

My girlfriend's birthday is in the period as well. PM for info.

What's your major? Going on "a chance that some of your classes down the road might require" seems kind of fishy
