ah, pratchet ! i love the discworld... i even started a rpg with some people in that world. don't have to say that it was pure chaos and half the characters killed themselves out of stupidity. :lol: timothy zahn is also a pleasure to read. he was already a good writer before he got a contract for st...

right, putzi ! what a splendid idea to join forces ! 8) my 'commodore' list : - c 64 (1984), cassette port fried - c 64 (aldi), buggy sid - vc 1541, overheats after 30min operation time - vc 1541 c(?), with selfmade airvents to help cooling - vc 1541 II, good condition but white cover turned sick-ye...

...whatever you had for breakfast... i wanna have it, too !

@neil : i didn't thought of techno-mungo-bongo (or whatever) to review, but a bit insight on 'how-to-do-music' would help. how to be fair to music that i don't like because it's not my taste ? a review shouldn't be based solely on taste, or not? ...and talking of game-reviews : i see a lot of review...

... hmm... take that lightforce remixes for example... the last one was well made in my opinion. there are versions that i do like more and versions that i don't like so much. but i can't tell why. (except when it's made with a sid2midi converter and just sounds like output from a soundblaster 1.0 &...

nah, it's his daddy... or not ?

@neil & michael : i don't disagree with you in general. @lman : well, that explains it. ...and speaking of short reviews and why i hesitate to write one : 1. i lack the musician skills to exactly pin problems of tunes down. this disqualifies me from be taken serious enough if i want to point out...

....hmm, they are pretty old tunes... i guess those lala-reviews are pretty old, too ? (and added to the new review system?) though i think some of them hit the spot with sparse words... and if lala's reviews are that old, than it was the time where reviews were rare gems? (fill me in, if i got that...

sometimes it's better to lock such threads up because we strayed completely from the path here and there is little to add... if something at all... and it's annoying when you were new to the boards, stumbled in such a thread (forgot to look for the date of the last answer) and added a comment long a...

...you said 'guidelines' ? good idea! my 2-cents : say 'censorship' if someone talks complete bullsh*t like 'yu muthafukka, z!z l33t tune r0ckz/sukkaz!' (just for one-time-joiners-and posters, that is the generic pesty i-net-kiddie), we don't need such crap in here. i never stumbled over such commen...

*snip*

... though it's a really interesting thread as it : 1. completely swayed away from the original intention 2. showed clearly how limited the written word comes when explaining opinions and emotions. i've seen that in way too many chats, boards and so on... so back to the original intention i guess th...

this *indeed* is a good IR-criteria...

i just listened through all IR and SW stuff i got on my hdd and even 'to my untrained ear' they are no 'twins'. wonder how this came up...

yup... the conan feeling in the music and in the game was really strong... and i really liked the little green critter who kicked sewered heads around... (hmm... sounds kinda sick but it was fun)
