A friend introduced me to this VGM documentary tonight which was released earlier in the year.

Beep: A Documentary History Of Game Sound

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/bee

Available to rent or buy on vimeo, also on naughty sites for the anarchists on here. Arrr!

It's a very comprehensive documentary and doesn't hold back on details of sound chips ,synthesis, samples, coding and music composition etc..

It's very interview based also so might bore some,but if you're into this sort of thing it should be enjoyable.

Anyone have much experience with DHL as couriers. Order something a week ago from Amazon but only shipped today from Germany via dhl. Tracking says they hand over to An Post for the Irish leg.

Am I cutting it fine for Christmas delivery?

Fingers crossed indeed. You'd hope that it would hit Irish shores by Thursday night which should scrape it for Christmas. Santa present and all.
worst part is that it took 6 days from ordering from Amazon to get to the point of shipping.

He needs to say he's going to something then cancel the day before with a weak excuse, only with the invoking of the hallowed and holy "Rule of Enternow" will we believe in any return of the blessed one...

On a brighter note, he's a n00b now, so can be abused, flamed and trolled to our hearts content, woohoo!

Your old username is tied to your adverts account so other people cannot intercept it.

I know that. It was a joke...

MrVestek · 20-12-2016 11:56AM

I just Googled the meaning of Inviere. It means resurrection.

How very apt.

Steve X2 · 20-12-2016 12:11PM

Or, its actually In Viere! Who's Viere? :eek:
I think he should just change it to Enter the Wizard and be done with it

o1s1n · 20-12-2016 12:34PM

It's also an anagram of 'Ever In I'.

We're through the looking glass people. The only possible solution is that David Icke is involved on some level.

Turquoise, turquoise all the way baby

Linoud · 20-12-2016 02:02PM

Speaking of complete Zelda collections.. ;_; I will be getting one of the last ones I need in the post soon.

Just Spirit Tracks is all. I think all I need after that is Majora's Mask 3DS remake and I've got them all, not CIB though for a lot of them. >__> The CDI ones are excluded from the list. :L

You don't get to make the rules.

The CDI games are cannon.

As are the BS Satellaview games.

But not canon....
They are, without dispute, sh1te.
True 6/10 games at best

Or more like 0.6/10....

CiDeRmAn · 20-12-2016 02:14PM

Ffs lads and lasses
Now the gaffer is back, give me a hand tidying up the place!

o1s1n · 20-12-2016 02:53PM

Cleaning?

CiDeRmAn · 20-12-2016 02:55PM

Of course, you've a chap on the estate who attends to such needs...

o1s1n · 20-12-2016 03:07PM

Less a 'sir' and more 'Withnail and I' and this stage
