Actually from Quebec. >_>
There should really be a middle ground, IMO. I'm not against the idea of a hike, but 75% is way too damn much. On the one hand, one of the student movements protesting the hike is hell-bent on not settling for anything less than a tuition freeze; on the other, the government is trying its damn best to act ******, provoke anger - and then blame the violence it itself encouraged on the students. Can't they settle on a moderate hike or something? From: Robazoid | #009 FYI, nobody in Quebec's saying Alberta's useless. People might accuse you of the other stuff, but not of being useless. Granted, some of them are stupid about it and criticize everything you do while not realizing that a lot of what we're subsidizing comes from transfer payments. Personnally, I don't like the Albertan model. I think the Canadian tuition average is way too damn high. Education is one of the most important (if not the most important) tool to make sure everyone at least starts on an equal footing. If you compare with tuition rates in the US, for instance, it's obvious that only the rich or the incredibly smart can afford tuition at the top-rated schools. Is that the model we should be striving for? And besides, I'm not too keen on oil sands, which are incredibly polluting and feel like 'dirty money' to me. On the other hand, it's incredibly stupid and hypocritical to ***** about it like I do and not recognize that you're funding a lot of what we have through that alleged 'dirty money'. Which is why I'd really wish the government would stop acting stupidly for a change. We have a big deficit: just raise the damn electric bills already! That way, you save money, and the 'drawback' is that people consume less, thus (a) allowing us to sell our reserves to the rest of Canada/the US for a profit, meaning more money and (b) help the environment along. First, we have to take care of our debt and stop the endemic corruption. Then, we'll be able to criticize Alberta's system without sounding like hypocritical douches. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

That sounds really cool, actually!
I might be able to do a third one once I'm done with September/Jungle Stream - would you prefer something melancholic, grim or creepy? Or rather something hopeful and happy? Given what you have right now, would you rather get fast-paced or slow-paced? (I know I already asked before, but it would help me to know what you need most.) For boss themes, would you prefer remixes of area themes, or completely new songs (or either)? -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Solfadore 04/26/12 3:31:00 PM #79 | From: Liquid Wind | #075 I am, actually! Would be a good opportunity to improve (and my current MIDI software has about 2 or 3 instruments that sound vaguely chiptuney, so yeah)! From: saveus_Maria | #076 I'd like to know which of these you'd like most to see implemented, actually, since reusing the same track more than once (even as a remix) is not a good idea, IMO, unless you want a boss remix or something, but even then, I'd use the same music for all the bosses. So basically, would you like a 'melancholic rainy river' level or 'jungle/rapids' level better? (Or whatever zone each piece makes you think of?) This is your game, after all. I think with an adequate chiptune tracker and a crash course on chiptune composition, I could rework Jungle Stream into something passable. I am, however, far out of my league with a chiptune remix of September Stream that keeps the original feel of the piece. I fear I won't be able to produce anything remotely satisfactory in that regard without the help of my fellow chiptune composers. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Well, there we go! I'm far from done with the chiptune version aka Jungle Stream (as I said, very lacklustre so far, and I'm not good with chiptunes!). As far as the original piano version is concerned, I think I'm good for now, though I wanted to know if I should make the whole piece a bit longer (by composing more stuff, basically). Since this would be an area music, it could get quite repetitive as is. Thoughts? Suggestions?
That being said, please forgive the few mistakes with the piano version - I'm still not quite familiar with the synth I used to record it. Original/September Stream: http://soundcloud.com/solfadore/september-stream/s-Z2OU9 Chiptune/Jungle Stream: http://soundcloud.com/solfadore/jungle-stream/s-ZzrGS Download links will be provided once I'm satisfied with the result. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Been working a bit more on Anvil, and I think I can tweak September Stream out as a chiptune version. It's much different from the original version (original gave a "quiet, rainy river" feeling, this one's more jungle-like), but I think it works.
I'll upload both versions later tonight. If someone feels like tweaking the original version so that it retains the "quiet, rainy river", that would be awesome. If the 'jungle' version is alright, then we'll go with that. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Solfadore 04/25/12 1:24:00 PM #56 |
Alright. Will record and upload it tonight.
It might not be the definitive version, however. I'll probably have to make it a bit longer to avoid it getting too repetitive - if it's area music, it's going to play for a while, most probably. For now, I'd just like to get a bit of feedback and see (a) whether it'll fit with Maria's game and (b) whether it's "chiptunizable". -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

So, I've been working a bit at my piano today, and I think I've come up with something passable. Only problem is: I just can't get it to work properly on Anvil (it just seems mechanized and loses all the little nuances that actually make the piece interesting), and I'm not sure it'll work well on chiptune. On the other hand, I thought First Flight wouldn't work as a chiptune as well, and Liquid actually ****ing improved it and made it catchy as hell (and I usually hate chiptunes. I have no idea how he did it).
Should I try to record it via GarageBand, upload it, send Liquid/someone the sheet music/notes/lacklustre MIDI and we'll see where it leads? Provisional title is "September Stream." -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

(BTW, Liquid. If you loop it, just cut the conclusion and loop it back to the opening. Will be much smoother that way. But it's your call.)
Maria, could you give me a general feel of the game? Not necessarily zone-by-zone, but just the overall atmosphere. Haunted town? Remote village in the wilderness? This would help a bit with the general tone of things! Also, do you want slow, fast or medium-paced themes, ideally? -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

(2)Arya Stark - Might change my vote and give Stannis a pity vote if Arya is dominating too much, but as it stands, I prefer Arya. Stannis is a very good and memorable character, though, so I'd be fine with him winning. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Solfadore 04/23/12 1:54:00 AM #240 | From: ViviffTheMobile | #239 I'll grant you Season Zero and probably the first episode of Season 1. Aside from that, he's definitely not a villain. A jackass, sure, a rival, definitely, but not a villain. He's just trying to beat Yugi and is not even particularly evil while doing it. Letting someone die because you're a ****er for rules is different from killing them, and he does try to save Joey and Téa when they are abducted by Marik (complete with throwing a card at a Rare Hunter). If you compare him to the 'real' villains of the series (Marik, Dartz, Bakura), who all pretty much want to **** the soul of their enemies and cast them into eternal oblivion and/or destroy the world, he's a pretty cool guy. An antagonist is not a villain. So yeah, S0 + 1 episode vs. the rest of the series: clearly not a villain. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |

Wow, I'm surprised by the Sansa win! Even though I voted for Cersei, I'm fine with Sansa making it to the division finals. That said...
(4)Varys - Again, I don't find Jon to be especially compelling, perhaps a *bit* too clichéd, and since he'll probably win this, I'm going to give my vote to good old' Varys. (3)Theon Greyjoy - Absolutely no doubt in my mind. Theon is one of the best characters of the whole series, with incredible development and complexity, while Syrio's a one-scene wonder. Unsure about Jon/Varys, but I think Jon takes it. The winner will fall before Theon, though, who will make short work of Syrio. Still unsure about how Tyrion/Theon will fly (Tyrion has been underwhelming against LF), guess I'll have to wait and see how good of a performance Theon gives this round before making predictions. -- When you have nothing to say, quote yourself ~ Solfadore |
