I'd say dubstep is still gaining popularity... anyhow, I'd like to add to this by saying making awesome music isn't enough. There are so many little tricks and elements to EQing, mixing, and mastering that ultimately can make or break a track even if the track is bangin. And I'm talking about "professional" level electronic music...  I've only recently just started getting into learning this stuff this year, and man is it interesting, but it's also a lot to wrap your head around. Always learning new things.

It's really inspiring to see artists upping their game to this level. Artists like MisfitChris, Prom Wolf, Rockman, Henryhomesweet to name a few. But hell I'll always love chip for what it is, and I'll never stop.

I read some various soundcloud comments and some comments in threads on a few 2 x LSDJ trax that expressed awe in the fact that the music was made with a gameboy, when in reality it was made with TWO gameboys. haha... So I guess sometimes when people post "Made with LSDJ" and its actually made with 2 LSDJ, it's misleading to people who can't tell the difference. Why do I care so much? Cause I guess at heart I'm a purist prick and am drawn to the aesthetic appeal of music made with one copy of LSDJ and people "pushing limits" with that. Also I love when I'm listening to a track and I'm thinking "wait, is this only one game boy or is it two?" and it ends up being only one.
A few examples of awesomeness:

ctrix
Analog - La Maquinita (Single)
A.M.U - Diamond (EP)
USK Picopicodisco (ep)
CCIvory:
The Unnatural
Club Bit
Machine
Mad Magician
My love

lots of good stuff out there I'm forgetting

Also LSDJ + something else is cool too.

For me it's kind of like: if you're going to use more than 1 GB why not just use a different program in conjunction with lsdj, or why not use LGPT instead. I guess some people are more comfortable composing with LSDJ. I mean, there's some great shit out there (this is amazing: http://soundcloud.com/treyfrey), but from a composer perspective as someone who enjoys the limitations of 1 LSDJ, I'm just not as technically impressed with the 2x LSDJ stuff. Yea if done right it's gonna sound bigger, fuller, and more dynamic, and 8 channels is still limiting, but it looses it's aesthetic value to me and at that point I just think "why not add some real kicks, snares, synths?".

Roger dodger. Myself and Rockman are O.K. Lots of knocked over trees and the likes... Gambling, game of thrones + Becks beer = My 4 day weekend.

So basically what everyone is saying is this guy is the wesley willis of chiptune?

Honestly, if you have to ask this question, you're probably not at the point where anyone would want to hear you perform anyhow. That is not meant to be a huge burn, but at the same time it's probably true. Kids getting into chip are always in a rush to "release ep's" and "play shows". Take your time, practice and experiment, then in a year or two start dropping some ep's and playing shows.
