I'd be down to post something pertaining to Jamestown once I get back to my rig. I mean as you all know, the best shmups are the ones that throw colonial era history into the mix.

Highwang posted:I have a couple ideas for contributing to this thread myself, namely Sine Mora, Jamestown and Parodius. Hell if we have enough people show interest, we could have a 4 player run of Jamestown. I've never done the multiplayer personally, but I've always been interested in trying it.

Well poo poo Jamestown is local only. I would be down for some multistream Skype etc, but I guess that's getting close to 2007 style?

For my first (hopefully of many) contributions to this thread, I'd like to expound on this game a tad. Orchestra fans, rejoice: Let's Literally Play Symphony  Igor Stravinsky was a Russian composer in the early 20th century, who is perhaps best survived by his ballet The Rite of Spring. It's known for being quite a shift in tone for music in general at the time, and was so poorly received upon it's premier that it caused a riot at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées over 100 years ago. It's intense, dramatic, oddly lyrical at times, and just a blast to both listen to and perform. I decided to literally put a symphonic piece into Symphony to see how it would turn out, and the results were decently interesting. I have two versions of the gameplay: one that's condensed to under 15 minutes with subtitles to show the more interesting parts, and the uncut 35 minute version with no text at all if you're completely insane and want to see the whole thing. I have them both unlisted right now because I'm not entirely sure if I'll get smacked with a copyright claim or not. Either way, hope you enjoy. Rite of Spring - Cut version Rite of Spring - Full version I may do some more pieces/songs later on; but as has been mentioned before, this game isn't all that interesting as a shmup. I'll probably work on either some Jamestown or Aerofighters vids for next time.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:I remember a story I once heard about the Rite of Spring. A conductor was having trouble getting a good performance out of his orchestra, so he shouted, "Look, the Rite of Spring is about SEX!" Everyone instantly improved. I haven't heard that story before, but I would not be surprised at all by that happening. Part of the rioting was because of how lusty and suggestive the choreography was, which of course led to a few catcalls from some of the audience members. As for the lag, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. The game runs at a crazy ~450 fps, which went way down once fraps was running, so it must have been a problem with the recording itself. The music doesn't lag also, does it? As long as that's intact I won't be too worried about the video itself.

So I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the Symphony videos in spite of my very poor framerates, but I had a weird occurrence happen with the videos. I never made them public and just kept them unlisted in fear of getting a third party content match. Sure enough, both the long video and short video got matched. No action has been taken against my account yet, so I don't think it's that bad and should be manageable. Where it gets weird is in how they were matched. The short one is claimed by "One or more music publishing rights collecting societies" which is something I can understand. The long one, however, is claimed by a band named...Goatpenis. Apparently, they sample the last part of Rite of Spring in one of their songs. (Don't worry, it's work safe. They're just a death metal band with a bizarre name.) How exactly do I go about disputing that one? Man, here I was thinking I could do another symphonic piece for the game. Oh well.
