n0wak Posted June 18, 2010 gdf said: I find it quite telling that, Brutal Legend aside, Rock Band is becoming more and more of a sim and Guitar Hero is going the douchey, desperate final attempt route. Harmonix is continually building on their passion for music and music playing, via games. Neversoft is continually building on their passion for games, with music and music playing. I think that was pretty evident from the start, when Guitar Hero 3 added "boss fights" and weird battle modes and licensed personalities while Harmonix went and made it more fun to just play music, and do so with friends.

Thompson Posted June 19, 2010 I've seen to much terrifying shit to be scared by Watson, to me it is just a poorly made game, I don't see what's scary about it, if anything it's just funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The episode where they came back in space was pretty shit though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted June 21, 2010 Good pod, gentlefolk. I've just listened to the catalogue of songs Remo did over the years (yes, by now it's years, which is terrifiying). They really grow on you, especially the more subtle ones like the Ballad of John Riccitiello. Cool sig by the way, Thompson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that as someone who does some arty stuff (Beyond that picture I sent you) the artist is always a terrible judge, although I probably take it to extremes. I think everything I do is shit.

Jake said: God damn these remixes continue to be hilarious and embarrassing. snooglebum how many of these are there so far? I have five on my PC at home and want to make sure I'm not missing any. Yup, it's just five. I started around episode 4 of the new podcast, I think. I've actually been thinking of going back and doing an ultra-mix of all 50 episodes of the old podcast. Inphidel said: I dunno I call it tracking, arranging patterns etc, programming drums and such.Madtracker / Fruity loops / Reason etc etc. or straight up keyboard midi stuff? Aah, I see. Is "tracking" a britishism? I use FL Studios (which used to be called Fruity Loops, before they became Serious Buisness). It seems more focused on electronic music. Which is fine, because that's what I make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. that's four tracks with the stereo mixing and volume envelopes displayed, which make it look more complicated then it actually is.That's an old version of Protools, if I'm not mistaken.
