I think the movies do a reasonably good job of it. At least a large amount of the material he's using to supplement the Hobbit movies is from other works of Tolkein, if not The Hobbit itself.
But it didn't get lost, did it? We still have the gospels, which contain Jesus' words. The question is whether or not God would have allowed the truth to be corrupted, and let Christianity go off track for almost two millennia.
Matthew 16:18b provides a stronger case against the Mormon (and some Protestant) positions:
NASB: "[...]upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld [many translations have "hell"] shall not prevail against it."
While we're on that topic, why do so many Protestants condemn what the Catholic Church teaches on that subject if our beliefs on it are so darn similar? Not to mention that James summarizes the Catholic teaching exactly and we still get criticized for being "unbiblical."
I'm not directing that at any one person, and my question was mostly rhetorical, but it bugs me that so many of our differences are only imagined.
I think it sounds better, but it's hard to tell with my current audio equipment. I like the song itself, anyway.
Exactly. Text can be skimmed if one is short on time, but there isn't usually an option to speed up audio, and even if there is, people start sounding like Mickey Mouse when you use it.
I'm glad you noticed that, as I completely forgot about guarding the pleasure garden (luckily I can get it back under cover in one move). :P Hopefully my dad doesn't make a clever drop that I'm not expecting, or we could be in trouble again.
LOL, so true.
And when a real train loses control some how or other, the same thing goes as for an electric train.

Ender, do me the favour of dropping your pawn on 3xy when you have the chance. Unless I'm missing something, that should keep that nasty king out of your territory for now. Let me know if you see a whole in my defenses. I don't want to lose my bishop because of a silly oversight (or a non-silly oversight, for that matter).

Iron Man 3 falls far behind the other two Iron Man movies, in my opinion. And LOL at your response to Tobar. :)

By opposite corner, and maybe it's not the best term, but I mean the southeast corner, facing your dad in the northwest corner. Start closing in on him from the opposite side so that he has less and less room to maneuver, that's my theory.
Good, we're on the same page.

By "opposite corner" do you mean the one towards you? I'm planning to move my rook more into the open within the next few moves, and the bishop drop will follow.

Yes. None of them were very good compared to yours. I think I saw one actual cover, but even then, it just copied the song as closely as possible, without any interpretation.
I'd pool my money for some nice headphones if it weren't for the fact that I'd never use them once I got back to Alberta. I'm hoping my remaining earbud stops working soon so I have an excuse to get a new pair... :P

If I understand the video description correctly, every track in the song is replaced with a new cover by you, whether done digitally or recorded. Is that correct?
I'm not sure I understand your question correctly. Are you asking whether I made the backing track from scratch or just used a template one I found and played over it? If that's the question, the answer is I made the backing track from this one from scratch in a midi then used soundfonts to "bring it to life" so to speak. In the video I'm only playing the guitar, but the bass and drums and keyboards are all "programmed" by me. In the soundcloud files I play the guitars and the bass, and the drums and keyboards are programmed. Sometimes by me, sometimes with the help of midis I find on the net, but always spiced up by me.
I make the backing tracks from scratch sometimes, sometimes with the help of midis, but even in that case I still at least edit the midi, plus set the tone controls and instrument patches for the sound tone of it.
Yup, that answers my question, thanks. There's definitely a bit more personal touch and interpretation in your cover than the others I listened to yesterday, which in this case is definitely a good thing.
I haven't seen enough movies to readily distinguish CGI from physical models, so the same goes for me as well.
You're giving TV's Frink a bad example, Tobar!
Who, my dad? He's not young.
*runs*
*returns after remembering his dad is sleeping and will be for a few hours yet*
It's still working for me.

Which version, the video or the one with the layers? The video was more of a novelty to prove I could actually play it. I did videos of "Hades", "Follow the Reaper" and "Rust Never Sleeps" too.
The version(s) you have on Soundcloud.
I forgot to ask: are all your covers covers of music by the same artist?

There we go. :D
I listened to the original, and I think I like your cover better. For one, I like that you brought out the drums a bit more (as far as I can tell with my one-sided ear bud...). What instrument is making the higher octave sounds in your cover? It sounds like a keyboard, but not exactly like one. Anyway, I really like it and I think it rounds out the "song" (for lack of a more accurate word) a bit more.

Yup, all of them.
I tried watching your post for a while, but alas, I can't seem to figure out where I'm supposed to see the video. Did you by any chance put it somewhere else by mistake--Youtube for instance? ;)

That reminds me, a short while ago I happened to stumble upon a website by one "patman", who among his many interests did list "Star Wars". I do wonder if it was our own patman?
Nope not me sorry.
It's OK. I forgive you.
The rooks not moving backwards along a row had me confused for a bit. I keep forgetting that detail.
