Saga Musix · August 14, 2007, 23:00:47

nah, that does not count, don't be so lazy

Really Weird Person · August 15, 2007, 00:51:02

I am going to guess the banned answer, E).

BooT-SectoR-ViruZ · August 15, 2007, 08:43:10

well... 50/50

i'll say c) reggae

LPChip · August 15, 2007, 09:04:50

Since C is the only remaining answer, Boot-Sector-Virus Wins!

Saga Musix · August 15, 2007, 10:42:47

Allright, I really hate reggae more than any other style :twisted: :lol:
BooTy's next

BooT-SectoR-ViruZ · August 16, 2007, 10:03:24

which of these artists is my favourite?

a) Björk
b) Biochip C.
c) Pennywise
d) Somatic Responses

choose wisely

Saga Musix · August 16, 2007, 10:13:11

I guess it's biochip c.

BooT-SectoR-ViruZ · August 16, 2007, 10:47:37

well... martin damm is my favourite producer, so it's right.
(taking his other aliases in account...)

would you also know who's on the 2nd place?

and how did you know?

Saga Musix · August 16, 2007, 11:57:39

Your second favourite has to be Somatic Responses.
I did some research

It was clear that it's NOT Björk ( :lol: ) or Pennywise, So 2 answes were left. Then I found out that Biochip was one of the first breakcore artists so I decided taking b)

okay, next question:
How did I find ModPlug Tracker?
a) I was a fan of the demoscene since I was a little kid and then I wanted to be come a composer, too
b) I was actually googling for Scream Tracker as I wanted to create music for my QuickBasic games
c) A friend of mine showed me this wonderful program and it was love on the first sight
d) I read a Wikipedia article about modules and there was a link to modplug.com

(I think you could even get the right answer with a research

)

Really Weird Person · August 16, 2007, 14:44:36

I think that the answer is b) because it sounds good. I liked playing with QBasic. The only games that I can really remember having played on it though are Gorillas and Nibbles. Though I did enjoy modifying them (at least Nibbles) (I modified things like the number of lives you have, the color scheme and your starting score). I think that I managed to make it go beyond two players one time, but I do not remember how I did it. Though, I do not remember how to do a lot of that stuff now because I have not used QBasic in years.

Saga Musix · August 16, 2007, 16:25:07

Your guess is correct! Actually, the storry is a bit longer than just this line...
Since I was starting programming in 2002, I always searched for methods of including sound effects and music in my games. Well, the first method was the pc speaker. soon, i found the first OPL tools and created nice sound effects with Angelo Motolla's SoundLab. I also had a tracker, called FmTracker and did some mediocre tunes with it. However, I didn't have any clues about the demoscene, although these tools were kinda involved in it. After writing my very own midi tracker and player, I found a program called "DS4QB" - It was a win32 host that used the BASS.DLL sound system and you could control it directly from Quickbasic (which is a DOS language). Pretty cool! There was a tool called MO3 included with DS4QB. This tool could read IT files... wait, IT? I've seen that extension before, in Jazz Jackrabbit 2! There were some IT files... That were the very first module I've played. However, I still had no clues how to make them myself. Soon, I found BWSB, a dos-based MOD player for C, Pascal and Quickbasic. It was pretty cool for a dos tool! I read the manual and found out that one can create music modules using Scream Tracker... Well, I browsed the web for this program, but I didn't find it, but i found Modplug and I really liked it! Well, that's the first part of the story

edit: weeeee, my 400th post

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... ok, so you were just lucky on your guess :lol:
pennywise would be the 2nd and i also LOVE björk.
AND i like biochip best for his electro- and acidtunes, not for breakcore (afaik he never did breakcore as biochip)

Really Weird Person · August 20, 2007, 02:24:00

I am assuming that my answer was the correct one. If so, here is a question for you.

Which one of these characters did I semi-root for the last time I played Mario Party [8] [for the Wii] (a 50-turn game)?

1. Mario
2. Yoshi
3. Daisy
4. Dry Bones

LPChip · August 20, 2007, 07:43:55

4. Dry Bones

älskling · August 20, 2007, 08:08:32

I guess C: Daisy.
