Ben Jordan Paranormal Parody was a great parody game.

Who was hosting this skypecast?

Make his face less round. Also, his walkcycle looks like some kind of 80s Michael Jackson dance thing.

So you're not gonna tell us what it means?

Pretty funny, and I think the third one is the funniest (I'm not an atheist). Yeah, C&C has WAY too many webcomics. Most of the time they're made by people who try to use MSPaint and draw it all themselves (usually unsuccessfully), but it's refreshing to see someone using *cough* copyrighted *cough* photos. ;)

Hammerite is being exactly the way he used to be, are we supposed to encourage him?


Good, more pointless threads, I fucking hate it when someone is right and isnt afraid to use a bit of humour to make sure their words don't come across as too angry. Especially when people don't recieve it well, proving their own idiocy. Brilliant.

I was being serious, ok? I mean, he used to post in the CL and say pointless things like 'This art sucks n00bzz0xxrs' or say the same thing in WIP or Completed Games. He seems to post less now, and he also seems less annoying.

At least Hammerite isn't the way he used to be- being overly critical for absolutely no reason, and constantly sarcastic.

I think it has to have a certain number of posts. The number has to at least be three digits, I think.

Change his skin colour for one thing, to look more human. The low-res style looks good and this sprite is a worthy first attempt. His arms seem to disappear into his clothing, also. All in all, however, it's a decent sprite.

They all look really good, but the black outline kinda ruins it. Also, the girl on the left doesn't look like she's reaching into her pocket. Put some wrinkles on the clothing where the hand is supposed to be. The butcher/mad scientist guy looks good, except his legs don't looks like they're part of his body.

Guess so.
#452
If it's experimental, then yes. Electronic sort of stuff, yes.
#453
Maybe they're counting audio as an 'immersing'  aspect of the game.
#454
As long as it not rock in the strictest sense- bands like Green Day or Black Sabbath don't count. But if they aren't strictly rock- like Tears For Fears, then it's okay.

Well, in my opinion, the best rock song ever is


Bill Haley And The Comets - Rock Around The Clock

:=


Man, that song is just so great!



-Eigen

Yeah, especially the guitar. Man, was he rockin'!

Well... the Flecktones are sorta Jazz among other things. ;)

What I'm trying to say is that the particular guy thinks jazz isn't "hardcore" so it sucks.

Steel Pulse- Rollerskates. A very cool song by a highly unknown British reggae band.

Great band, great tune. Maybe it's a regional thing, because I would definitely not consider them unknown. They're right up there in the reggae section in music stores, and I know a lot of people who listen to them.

It's nice to see a few people that aren't just metal-heads. :P
Yeah, Steel Pulse used to be good, until they sold out to the pop crowd. Once Babylon The Bandit came out, their music went downhill at a rapid pace. African Holocaust was a good album though. I do think it's a regional thing with music because most people I know don't have a clue about any type of music other than bubble gum pop or emo stuff. One guy thinks that jazz is so 'soft-core' because they use banjos in the songs. Go figure.

Okay, I know we have the 'Best Rock Song EVER!' thread already, but I decided to start this one. Let's see if we can get as many posts as that one did (okay, I doubt it, but oh well). List what you think the best non-rock/pop songs are (soft rock is okay I guess). My favourites are: 

Jazz: 

Glenn Miller- In The Mood. Classic jazz piece by one of the greatest, yet underrated musicians ever. I especially love the opening horn riff.
Anything by Thelonious Monk. Another highly underrated musician. One of the greatest pianists ever, IMO.
Herbie Hancock- Chameleon. This song starts out with a simple bass riff but takes it to a whole other level.
The entire album Bitches Brew by Miles Davis.

Reggae:

Bob Marley- Pimper's Paradise. A good song with powerful lyrics.
Bob Marley- Is This Love. One of Bob's best songs. Very Jamaican sounding.
Bob Marley- Jammin'. Another Marley classic. The jazzy vibes are schweet!
Bob Marley- Could You Be Loved. Need I say more?   
Steel Pulse- Rollerskates. A very cool song by a highly unknown British reggae band.
Steel Pulse- Bodyguard. This song is pure KEWL. Check it out if you have a P2P network.   

Hip Hop

Not a big fan, but I listen to a bit. Mostly just K-Os.

K-Os- Heaven Only Knows Remix
K-Os- Superstarr Part Zero
K-Os- Superstarr Part 1 

Alternative (ish)

Okay, I know Tears For Fears aren't technically considered rock, I personally don't find them hard enough to be considered 'true rock'. They are very experimental and dabble into all styles.

Tears For Fears- The Working Hour. 
Tears For Fears- Everybody Wants To Rule The World.
Tears For Fears- Sowing The Seeds Of Love.
