Hooooly cow Chris Huelsbeck just followed me on Twitter! I'm freaking out!
Dr. Oliver Sacks also died yesterday.
I guess it's something to do with the notification system, then. Confirmation email arrived half an hour after your message above.
TV's Frink said:
Depends. I'll PM raub and see if he can speed it up.
Thanks, no rush obviously, I was just wondering if there was an error on my end.

I have to be honest, having been born at the tail end of the 80s, "Blue Monday" is the only New Order track I've been exposed to, thanks to compilation CDs and the like.
*faints*
Surely by now you'd be used to being around young people?
TV's Frink said:
How dare you not link to the best music video ever.
I almost forgot, Frink, I signed up yesterday on The Shizz but my account is still waiting for validation. Does it usually take that long?
JayArgonaut said:
New Order! :D
Good job.
Thank you, though the hard part is yet to come. I'm doing the math in my head, and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to sequence the next section, note for note, using just the 2A03 channels. I'll have to use arpeggios galore to cram notes in, I'm already pushing it with that strange "clash" effect.
A lot of people go for Blue Monday but I always preferred True Faith:
I have to be honest, having been born at the tail end of the 80s, "Blue Monday" is the only New Order track I've been exposed to, thanks to compilation CDs and the like. It's one of my favorite songs of all time.
I'll have to learn more about them, you just reminded me I still haven't listened to the rest of their discography. Maybe I'll sequece "True Faith" in the near future, once I'm done with the current projects.
Here's another cover I just started working on, two days ago:
"Blue Monday" by New Order

six more minutes to go on this one LOL
a lot of careful selection has gone into the various sounds. I've had to resort to using the actual samples from the song for the drum portion, because it just didn't sound right to me, without them.
I was tuning in and out cause I had multiple tabs open, but yeah I heard him moan about confusing level design. It was funny at the end though, when the "multiple lives" cheat he had put in earlier backfired on him. The game couldn't countdown his lives, so the scoreboard kept counting up to its maximum and resetting to zero, over and over again. So no end cutscene for him, the game could not end properly. LOL
Love it :D

I'm very sorry, Leonardo, but the excrement is mine.
Eat your veggies, that shit looked nasty.

This afternoon, while walking near (the broken car) with my best friend, we saw human feces on the hood.
Thank you for saying that. You almost made me spit out my drink.
You're welcome.
Imagine my reaction. I had to smell it. I wanted to make sure, even though there really was no need to. No other poo looks like human poo, and I've yet to see cats or dogs climb on a parked car and deliberately go potty on the hood. I don't think there's an animal that does that, besides the one that doesn't like my car.

I'm clumsy and I lack practice.For now but nonetheless, what you've shared sounds good to my ears... :)
Thank you. I've started working on another cover, will share something soon. More 80's synthpop!
Meanwhile, since you mentioned Turrican, British Youtuber Mentski is playing it live at this very moment:
https://www.youtube.com/c/Mentski/live
My family has three cars, one of which is broken, it can't really start without cables, so it's been parked in the same spot in front of our balcony for a while. We live in a dead-end street with a couple other condominiums.The car does not violate any rules about parking, although we are aware we really shouldn't leave it there.
This afternoon, while walking near it with my best friend, we saw human feces on the hood. Apparently this is one way of saying "don't park here" in whatever language chimps use.
It's uncle Paul Harghis!
Suuuuuure....
awww :(

Chiptunes aren't my thing, but I'm into metal (hard rock, really) covers, and this forum is into both:
I do those! Instrumental though.
There are VG covers with lyrics? Sounds dreadful.
Good day dear sir, I'm here to talk to you about our Bard and Xavier Brentalfloss. He hath brought onto us many parody covers, and made them awesome and funny. Please take five minutes of your time to accept him into your heart:

Cool! :)
How long have you been a musician and what kinds of gear do you have?
I don't really consider myself a musician, I have a modern Casio keyboard (CTK-481) and a Les Paul replica, both of which I play at a really basic level. I'm clumsy and I lack practice. I don't even have an amp for my guitar.
If you ever get the chance, play the Amiga version. It's phenomenal! Speaking of the C64 (my first computer), I loved the SID chip and I've always paid close attention to the specs of the sound chips in the computers and consoles that I've owned over the years.
The SID chip is amazing, never fails to impress me.

Come say hi.
Will do, thanks :)

IIRC, there were people back in the 80's about who thought Wings was Paul's first band. ;)
That's even stranger. The Beatles broke up in 1970!
–“But I did get Paul McCartney out of Wings.”– “You idiot! He was the most talented one!”

I mean, do we actually know George McFly specifically makes more money as an author than he did at his previous job? Self employed authors/writers are kind of a hit and miss profession.
That's a great point actually. Today, being a self employed writer might bring you some moolah because of the internet, some people actually make a decent living. But in 1985? I hadn't thought of this.
The fact that Biff is not his boss and he is a writer is simply a better fit for George McFly, career wise. Regardless of how well either one paid.
Right!
Materialism my arse.
