I don't believe that midis have the ID capabilities of an MP3, though I'm not 100% sure.  You could, if you want, right-click on your midi, open properties, and edit the summary, thought I'm not sure whether or not that will alter anything when it comes to WMP pasting your name all cool and professional like with bold lettering.

Dan, the game you descirbed sounds just like Hunted Hunter.  It's a Sierra game, so I figure there's a much larger chance that it may be the one.  You basically jumped around shooting aliens and getting parts for your car, or something.



I bought it in a pack for $5 when I was seven, I just wanted the pinball game.

While I don't find Zooty's post earth-shatteringly offensive, I feel a little uneasy that the first person to laugh at it has an Al Jolson avatar.

Wow, I just heard and was on my way to consider posting a thread about it.  This is terribly sad, I feel for his kids and wife.

A stingray strike to the chest, what a way to go.

"I saw Mommy Sucking Santa's Knob"?

Roy Brown looks a lot like my art teacher, but instead of talking endlessly about her divorcing son, cracks jokes about fellatio, but there's no kiln to mess around with while Roy wastes my time.

I certianly cannot imagine paying an extra $50 for esentially the same chromatic tuner.  But from my understanding, the Tu-2 does comes with some alternate tuning presets.  I've never owned the Fender PT-100, but I've never had a more durable processer than my Boss GT-3 (as outdated as it may be now).

As for the Artcore, I used to own one myself, transparent blue, and that Bigsby is a pain in the ass, both to string-up and use.  I ended up selling it so I could buy a Strat.

Let me pull something from behind my monitor.

A world of crime, sin and greed.  Delve into the mind of Agent 47 and encounter his greatest adversaries, completing the work that made him so brutally efficient and shaped him as an assassin.  Eliminate your targets by any means necessary.  There are no rules...  only the contract, signed in blood.

Following still? Ok, now on the front is an "M" in a white box.

Take you pick.  I mean, if you just mean to inform the general public.

A rating system is just not needed.

But the rating system only "works" on a commercial level.  Someone at ESRB has decided what's morally exceptable for everyone, and when a 10 year old kid wants to play something like F.E.A.R, a greasy kid in a vest will say, "Sorry, I cannot sell this to you." at which point the child gets his unattentive mother to buy to for him and the world is a much better place.

On the internet, especially on an amateur level, the rating system is a failure from the beginning.  Mostly because the the web is a faceless, ageless environment, I'm in a kid's chatroom, POOF! I'm an innocent 12 year old girl, I'm looking for raunchy backdoor action, BAM! I am a 68 year old war veteran, and so on.

I don't think anyone is afraid of the rating system, it's very probable that it will not evolve into some e-concership juggernaut, I'm not paranoid.  But come on, part of the beauty of being part of such a keen underground clique is not having to worry about this elusive hidden "peoples" that get the vapors at the drop of a hat, are emotionally scarred for life by pixels of the red persuation, and turn stark white if I was to show a little nip.


And to pretend it's for the common good is a bit outrages as well, in case you haven't noticed, we make Adventure Games, not exactly the number one search prerogative for children, Fundamentalist, and people of frail constitution.

This reminds me very much of Frank Zappa's statement to congress and donnybrook with the PMRC.

On another note, this whole rating system idea, it seems to be very unnesessary.  Before you download something, especially on the internet, you propably have a general idea of what's going to happen in the media presented to you.  How often do you find a blank, undescriptive link to an executable and think, "Boy, I'd like to try this!"  Look around for a brief summary, or a screenshot, or even the title for crying out loud,  I know what I was getting when I downloaded '5 days a stranger' or 'Alien Rape Escape'.  If people go around downloading random things with no knowledge of what it might be, I'm all for it having explicit images of the Pope donkey punching several gay men with tatoos of "bad words" all along thier bodies while orphans shoot up drugs and have Mexican knife fights.

In the long run, this rating system is a nice pipe dream, but in the end it will just show that parents will care, just as long as they don't have to try really hard and shiny rating doodads keep thier attention (for a short period of time anyway).

For example, if the title of the thread is something like, "Would Jesus prefer Casio or Texas Instruments? Discuss," then you can probably skip the thread.

Jesus probably sees eye-to-eye with me on this one, "I'm the son of God for Christ's sake!  I don't give a damn about graphing calculators or quadratic formulas. just as long as my TI-83 plus has a Draw() function!"

(refering to Kurt Cobain)

I've never really heard anything musically exceptional from those two

And Nevermind?!? Are you really being serious about this?

Actually, Nevermind is exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote my original post.

ian curtis and kurt cobain should form a band though.
that would make dying really worthwhile so I could see those guys play.

Are you sure that thier collective 'talents' would be worth dying for?  I've never really heard anything musically exceptional from those two, probably wouldn't even warrant a scraped knee, let alone death.

i think if he formed a band now, he'd probably try and get Kurt Cobain and Ian Curtis to join.

Doubt it, read up on the New Testament, Jesus was all about love and Rock n' Roll and stuff.  No, I think the Jesus you're describing is pretty much Bizzaro Jesus [pictured below].

If Jesus formed a band, he'd have all the great, dead musicians that made it to heaven!

That'd be one boring ass group.

Something about that posture just seems a bit wrong, like everything almost has this 'floating' kind of feeling, I'm not sure what it is.

Maybe you could lower the skirt, make her a bit shorter, and possibly thin the upper leg a little bit.  Anyway, aren't her breasts little too large for a school girl?

Why not make just slim her left arm a little?  Not only that, like said, EGA isn't the most idea thing for close ups and such, so the final product kind of has a bit of a spoon-face.  That said, her clothes remind me of somekind of latex/dipped cone hybrid, though since I've never used anything more complex then MSPaint, I can't help you out more than that.

I was so excited when I found this video of Captain Beyond gig in Montreux, so I'm glad this thread was semi-revived.

This is would be my favorite band of all times, if they didn't release "Dawn Explosion", but I still love Rhino.

And here's a really neat video of Colin Manley looking like a goofball but kicking ass doing the Peter Gunn theme.

Ha! Maybe I should dress him into this getup.

Why not use this helpful little bugger so I don't have to wait 30 seconds to hear 30 seconds of music. 

I did listen to the second remix, and I like it a lot, I love the progression at the end with the marimba and I'd like to hear the other ones.
