He also analysed Transformers theme

This is a good one too

So was talking in PM to Lee Bee (good musician obvs) about Take 5 I'd like to hear that and any other tunes with non 4/4 timings *within the 8 bit style of course Classic in 5/4 time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE-Kd_0vvdk Classic in 3/4 time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EilFbfx1QRc Anything ...

Yeah I think you overdid the vibrato on the lyrical melody bit. Sounds like singer was out of tune IMO. (EDIT: If you want to use that at least fade it out quickly or something, sounds out of tune otherwise) EDIT: He's wearing a tie and using a plectrum to play bass... he's not going to overegg the ...

That's good too maybe lay off the wobbly pitch shifter thing a tad though

Highway Star next then?

That's good but it needs the lyrical melody as well I think. Apparently (from looking at the wiki page about the song) it was often used in the demoscene as a tune, it is catchy so I guess that's why. And the guy who wrote it said it wasn't really making a point about nuclear bombs and stuffs he was...

I guess I am getting WoS off topic forum withdrawal symptoms since I still can't change my email address or anything :( Seems strange not to have an off topic forum, especially since WoS is probably dying on its arse if they keep things how they are at the moment. Can't be that hard to moderate sure...

Mudhoney and Cyndi Lauper should do a mash up.

Girls just wanna touch me I'm sick (Sonic Youth did a good cover of Touch Me I'm Sick too).

EDIT: Also Kurt was a dick obvs you don't blow your own head off when you have a kiddo... knobhead

Yeah they removed the tune from JSW for the rereleases (and JSW2) since it was copyrighted. Can't remember (or no one knows?) if it was a bug or deliberate that the tune got progressively worse the more lives you lost (I think one of the delay times for the notes was linked to the number of lives re...

Talking of music just found out that Steve Albini has died :( (On WoS but I can't post there at the moment!!!) He was the producer sacked by Nirvana because they said his mix (of In Utero I think) was "unlistenable" of course, and Big Black were great (I think he played Guitar: Grrr instea...

It's not a very good rendition of the tune (which is a really famous melody, you may have to give back your 80s badge for that) :) I "named that tune" after about 1 second of listening to it lol. (Ok, maybe not that fast. But after the first bar anyway) Playing the bass with a plectrum tho...

It's Enola Gay by OMD, about the bomber which dropped the atomic bomb on Japan.

Bodge is pretty common in programming talk it means to fix something in a rushed or unsatisfactory way. Like the time I had to put a special case for 11th hole of the golf course where they accidentally made the water level to be the highest point of the hole rather than the lowest point lol (so any...

Windows API is on the case

GetRect()

EDIT: Or, for more business minded people, GetClientRect()

EDIT2: C programmers always like to #include anyway when they rolling

Yeah although I wouldn't PM anyone personal emails etc. unless it was a moderator myself. EDIT: maybe current email address in PM but only if that allowed me to speak to someone who had power to sort my account out. Hopefully someone on WoS team will wake up and start sorting this stuff out, it's be...

Geordie bingo callers are the best

Bag of flour - 24

EDIT: I'm from Yosser Hughes area so RIP Bernard Hill too

All Geordies look the same to Germans I expect ;) Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was a lot better than Only Fools and Horses anyway (although that had some moments but is incredibly dated and they went on too long with the Christmas specials and whatnot). RIP (many many years ago) to the German foreman from A...

Spec... the final front ear

Steam is sorted now too. I hope WoS pull their finger out and start fixing the issues which seem to be plaguing the site recently (lack of interest by the owner I guess). It's a shame if I was to lose my account because they are lazy/not bothered... site will die off pretty quickly if people can't j...

I PMd Scotty with that info on WoS before it logged me out so I should be ok. Scotty seems to be more active than Lee anyway, dunno if he has the power to fix anything.

If I manage to change my email I will ask about you as well. All the other problems seem to be to do with registering? Unless there are other users here who can't now access their existing account in which case probably post here first or see if 1024MAK will update the WoS thread with other existing...

It sounds like no one has been able to register or change their email address for ages now then

Thanks for emailing Lee.

EDIT: I see 1024MAK has posted about me at WoS too, cheers.

EDIT2: Epic actually got back to me and sorted out my Epic account pretty quickly. Still waiting on Steam though.

Here is your post

Meh that's annoying :( The other site has a decent off topic and I have hundreds of posts there already including lots of Z80 asm code posted :( I recall recently they managed to get Mike's account back up and running after he lost his email so hopefully one of the admins can do something about it.....

Hmm if I try and do "I forgot my password" then it DOES send me an email which asks me to change my password.

Then the new password does not work lol. (Permission denied). I've tried several times now to change it same result each time.
