    In later remakes of the first Castlevania game, the wall where you get that pork chop before descending to the waterway has a nasty surprise instead

    Chronicles, iirc. Haunted Castle, by the way, is the least like Castlevania 1 out of all the remakes, but it's worth a playthrough. With the invincibility cheat, otherwise it's damn near impossible

    Indeed. For some reason I was only thinking about Sonic 1, 2, and 3.

    DERP.

    I come from a long line of very interesting people.

    We were talking about Koyaanisqatsi, which would probably be better on weed.


    Not saying that it's bad in the first place.

    My mom was alot like yours, so naturally when it came time for me to rebel against parental authority I enlisted
  • edited 2012-08-23 23:51:12

    I've never really had a rebellious phase, probably because both of my parent's flaws became obvious enough to me early on that I don't really have any respect for their authority at all.
  • so apparently all of PSY's songs are as awesome as "Gangnam Style".

    edit: okay did we turn off embedding or something? Because it's suddenly not letting me do this, and it's not the usual culprit of Opera "helpfully" trying to turn it into a link.

    @Lazuli: The embedding is sorta dumb, it doesn't work if there's any extra guff like "featured" in the URL.

    That sucks. Well, at least you made it to adulthood with a square head on your shoulders. Most other kids who have no respect for their parents (which is almost always the fault of the parent) don't end up so well in the real world.

    First of all, PSY is a hip-hop act. Second of all, excuse me?

    I tried that, though.

    Mother: I got the "meal deal" tickets for Kings Island.
    Me: You did?
    Mother: Yeah. They were only $15 more, and I figured we'd spend that much per person on food anyway.
    Me: Makes sense.
    Mother: So yeah, I got the tickets that come with a meal.
    Me: I see.
    Mother: Because I thought we'd spend at least $15 per person on food, and they were only $15 more.
    Me: You said that already.
    Mother: I know. But I just thought we should get the tickets that come with meals.
    Mother: Because they're only $15 more.
    Me: Alright then.
    Mother: Because I figured we'd spend at least that much on food anyway.

    EVERY DAMN PHONE CONVERSATION GOES LIKE THIS

    First of all, PSY is a hip-hop act.
    That would explain it, I assumed it was some contemporary electro-dance pop act from the one song I've heard, my bad.
    Second of all, excuse me?
    I haven't heard a single sound in a hip-hop record ever (*To be fair, I do not have an exhaustive knowledge of hip-hop*) that wasn't either sampled, a Nexus preset, or some multisampled choir from eastwest/quantum leap or similar.

    Which is reasonable if you're making a beat for some dude to rap over, but god it gets boring hearing the same 5 minute sounds regurgitated over and over in dance music.

  • I haven't heard a single sound in a hip-hop record ever (*To be fair, I do not have an exhaustive knowledge of hip-hop*) that wasn't either sampled, a Nexus preset, or some multisampled choir from eastwest/quantum leap or similar.

    Thing with that is, any time someone in hip-hop does anything that's not that, he's suddenly labeled as something other than hip-hop. This is why no one calls Flying Lotus or Prefuse 73 or Daedalus (to give examples) hip-hop producers anymore. And then you get into instrumental hip-hop and what is and is not "actually" a sample and blah blah. Basically, hip-hop production has artificially narrow parameters.

    Also, I kind of question some of that that being a bad thing since rap is very rhythm-driven. Plus you can do way more with samples than people tend to think (see: everything The Bomb Squad's ever done).

    Also I know El-P does Industrial-sounding stuff but I am not sure if he does the outlined above or something else entirely (he's been accused of not knowing how to work his equipment before). I know for a fact producers like Odd Nosdam and DJ Oktopus (of dalek) do weird stuff with their production, but I again don't know what exactly.

    Which is reasonable if you're making a beat for some dude to rap over, but god it gets boring hearing the same 5 minute sounds regurgitated over and over in dance music.

    Beats that are mechanically good but boring as shit are one of the biggest problems in mainstream rap music, so I'm going to disagree with you about that first part at least.

  • Thing with that is, any time someone in hip-hop does anything that's not
    that, he's suddenly labeled as something other than hip-hop.
    this is like my #1 problem with hip-hop. Every time i find a hip hop group/band/dj I kinda like it isn't.

    DJ Oktopus is way cool yeah, i completely forgot about him.
    you can do way more with samples than people tend to think
     that's true, and clever sample manipulation is like one of my fave things, but it seems most sampling in hip hop at least nowadays is like taking chunks and stems from songs, chopping them up and throwing them in there. Or even worse, just leaving them.
  • this is like my #1 problem with hip-hop. Every time i find a hip hop group/band/dj I kinda like it isn't.

    Chances are good that if they label themselves hip-hop you can take their word for it. Nickodemus gets this problem too, now that I think of it. Then you have people like Wagon Christ who are clearly making instrumental rap music but vehemently deny that it is that.

    Well, it's been a problem in hip-hop since the beginning, really. And it's only a problem if you have an issue with highly derivative works (The Fat Boys' "Louie Louie" is widely considered a classic despite being, frankly, a ripoff of the Kingsmen's original) or are a record company rep. But, it's difficult to make just taking something and leaving it sound good. Even just slowing it down or reversing it can alleviate the problem somewhat.

    While we're on the subject, do you know of any good FL Studio effects tutorials? How to use specifically, but installing plugins would be appreciated too as I cannot figure that out and Google has been no help.

  • edited 2012-08-24 00:25:56

    To install a plugin move the .dll file to C:/program files/image-line/fl studio #/plugins/vst


    to use a plugin load it onto an FX slot the insert chanel assigned to to the instrument/sample you want to apply the effect to.
  • Oh really? I was doing it backwards basically.

    I'M SMART, YAY.

  • There is pretty much no professional musician I consider myself better than, but I make an exception for Soulja Boy.

    I'm bored.

    time to take mom's advice then
  • i wish to come up with a song lyric for this signature, but no song lyrics are coming to mind
    where is everybody
    what happen
  • We have succumbed to boredom i guess
  • I love copying things and pasting them and seeing what happens.

    The '90s Are All That showing post-2000 episodes of Rugrats is irritating.

    I mean, I wouldn't really care, but the show's later episodes SUCKED

    sitting here drawing comics, nothing new
  • So I just finished playing Portal 2 with a friend of mine.

    She kept having to repeatedly point out where the hell I had to put my portals because I was a derp, but luckily the last few test chambers we did weren't as hard for some reason so we finished an entire chapter and a half.

    T'was fun. Embarrassing and generally incompetent fun on my behalf, but fun nonetheless.

    Also I was the "girl" robot and she was the "boy". (Note: For those playing at home, Tre is 75% male and 25% gender-neutral wuss.)

    Then again I'm always the girl robot when I play co-op so I was not surprised.
  • If people were more secure with themselves, would there be so much ingroup/outgroup stuff online?

    this is my new favorite meme.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Why do they show post-2000 episodes anyway? The show had pretty much dwindled to only-on-because-it-makes-money status by then, hadn't it?
  • Aren't most shows only-on-because-it-makes-money?
