Ooh, that was one of the more difficult ones. Some songs took literally five minutes to convert, but D_MESSAG left me figuring out where to go with it. I wasn't sure if I should preserve some of the dissonance or go strictly major with it. I chose the former, and I'm still not 100% sure it was the right choice.

Me posting this WAD here coincides with the 1.2 release, which fixes a few minor things. Of course, as soon as I do that, I find a bunch of wrong notes on D_E2M1. I'm also finding out how much extra crap FL Studio puts in MIDI files now that I've switched to Sekaiju. It was bad enough that it was causing my USB MIDI interface to trip over the beginning of songs. Looks like I have some work to do to clean it up.

I moved from fl studio to aria maestosa. Generally was really pleased and comfortable with it until I saw you mention Sekaiju. Ill give it a through look since I've been searching for a more capable sequencer.

How friendly is it with Midi outputs?

Out of curiosity, for High Noon Drifter, is this the sort of clip system where unused bullets magically show up in your next clip (as with most FPS clip systems), or do you lose unused bullets when you reload (as with reality)? I can see the merits of both systems, mind you, I just wanna know for sure.

I only played for like 5 minutes so I can't speak for the entire mod but considering it seems like most of the weapons don't use clips at all, I'm gonna say you probably don't lose bullets. At least the first couple weapons don't. I mean your starting weapon is a revolver.

Right, but when you reload it, eight bullets/shells/whatever fall to the ground regardless of how many you fired.

Okay, good, I can feel safe reloading after every encounter like a paranoid git then.

Wasn't sure, cuz I couldn't see any hard numbers on what my current ammo pool was, just the vertical bars on the HUD. (The info probably was there, somewhere, but I missed it, I dunno.)

Only other criticism is the HUD completely disappearing when the overlay automap is on, not just when the non-overlay automap is on. Dunno if that's really something one can fix or not, having not really dabbled in custom HUDs, so...

I'd say it's a pretty solid game, and I've got over a hundred hours in the sequel. My biggest gripe with SW2013 is that the second half (or maybe final third) of the game got really redundant for me--possibly because the enemy selection was somewhat lacking...so it felt like you were progressing from arena to arena, fighting different permutations of the same 3 or 4 enemies ad nauseum. "This room has a Berserker, 4 shield guys, and a bunch of fodder enemies...this room has a Warlord, 2 shield guys, and a bunch of fodder enemies...this room has a Berserker, a Warlord, and a bunch of fodder enemies..."

Still, can't beat free!

the sequel is legit pretty fun on the gameplay angle at least. even has a good variety of different shotguns to pick from, to go with the earlier conversation. too bad the story in it is just entirely godawful, especially when the first game has an actually decent one for an fps.

It's funny how a higher budget managed to make the cutscenes look worse. Everyone I played with just wanted to skip them. They had wonky looking motion capture while SW2013 had some pretty nice art

Trailers like these don't seem to get much across, but it's about finding a treasure thingy like One Piece I hear! And it has the motorcycle from Akira. Maybe one of the Jojos is in it, you never know. I hear the book had Mechagodzilla and Eva references etc.

Oh yeah Ready Player One is like if X-Entertainment, retro crush, and all those other early 2000s "I was born in the early-mid 70s and I want to talk about what be 12 in the mid 80s was like" sites were pressed into blender and poured into a book. With a random assortment of modern day nerd stuff like MMOs and widespread internet tossed in.

The main plot of it is that in the future, a treasure is hidden using 80s and nerd trivia and only the hero is cool enough to know all that. Despite being hidden inside an online MMO where you would expect all that nerd poo poo to be easily searchable online.

IIRC the Final Battle is literally the main character remembering all the lines to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

In the author's next book, apparently at one point a military character gets outed as an antagonist because they quote Top Gun instead of a nerd movie.

Yeah it's very like entry level almost? Like he's afraid in the book to make any reference too obscure because it might confuse people.

But I mean like in our current world there's still 500,000 nerds who can verbatim quote any 50 year old Monty Python sketch you care to name. The idea future nerds won't know all the quotes from Star Wars or whatever is just so weird.

"Gone Girl meets Scott Pilgrim" is such a nonsense gibberish concept for a movie. That's like saying "Office Space meets Life Aquatic." Anyone that derives meaning from that sort of splicing of concepts has probably already had a stroke.

e: vv Gone Girl is a fine movie. Scott Pilgrim is not, but whatever. Those movies are so unlike each other.

Art is in the eye of the beholder I suppose? "Gone Girl meets Scott Pilgrim" doesn't do anything for you? You see Gone Girl was one of those books one or two friends said was good then we saw the movie, and this is like that too, so I made an incoherent joke about it. Also the idea that this movie could be sort of a serious opus, like Spielberg kind of Shining this up Kubrick style, I like that, and also find humor in it. Anyways, just stopped by to post FPS history news! And also I do think this movie could be entertaining. Unlike my posts.

Anything good about the movie will come from Spielberg or changes during the adaptation process, because the book itself is absolutely dire.

I mean, I suppose good movies have been made from awful books, so I'm sure that's possible here, but it's fair to say I'm not expecting that.
