They're 4818 pages at the time of the making of this post.

The first thousand pages or so are very fast, really. Each one packs as much information as a single panel in a comic page. A few heavy dialog boxes here and there, but otherwise it flows kinda fast.

But then comes Act 5 and that's when everything goes straight to hell with all the excessively-verbose-for-the-sake-of-apparent-comedy-value conversations between the most insufferable characters ever (yes, the trolls). Not to mention Cascade, the flash animation longer than 10 minutes.

But yeah, I'd say around 24 hours are more than enough to read from the beginning to the current page.

This is a message board on the Internet that features open registration. Do you really think you can actually get away from "all that" if you let everyone and their grandmothers inside?

There's no real place to "get away from" something on the open Internet. Maybe (just maybe) if you made a private message board with private tracker-like rules for registration; like invite-only subscription, invite trees, a reputation system, and whatever the hell else, maybe then you might get away with a message board to "get away from" stuff like what was posted at 8bc. But how would making a private club message board look like to the rest of the scene? Shit would scream "pretentious assholes" even more than it already does.

Let's just face it: we can't really get away from chipscene n00bs and their usual antics, especially now that 8bc's future is uncertain. We can't really get away from ANY KIND OF n00bs and their usual antics, anyway. Might as well just learn how to coexist with all that and to ignore whatever we don't like.

Otherwise we'd devolve into a place where oldbies were thought of as "those guys who do nothing but complain and act like grumpy old men".

Or as raw PCM in SuperNSF/PornoTra- er, MuseTracker.

Or just do post-production mixing with stuff made by other tools. LOL.

EDIT: But seriously, I'd love to see this released. It would make a really good manual-controlled wank instrument for space rock or drone. Hell, it could even be mixed with some loops programmed on PR8.

And, well, yeah. I can bet more than a hundred bucks that people will try to find out a way to get wobble bass outta this thing. But hey, to each its own!

I can think of a few uses for this kinda thing, yes.

Most people I know of that have listened to chiptune know what it is and know it's possible to compose for it.

Though I've gotten in a lot of interesting conversations.

"What do you mean, it ain't music? It's got a melody, backing, rhythm..."
"Well... It sounds like it's from a videogame."
"From old hardware, you mean. And, uh, you do realize most game devs hire musicians to put music on their games, right? I mean, the Mario level 1-1 tune? It has a composer."
"...Oh."

It's hardly likely that your DMG crashes with cellphone interference, but there's a way to find out if it does.

You could try to reproduce the error, and better yet, document it through video. If you can accurately crash your Gameboy at will using a cellphone, then you'll have proven your case.

And you'll also most likely get a bunch of nerds on the Internet interested.

Oh, and the buzzes happen to everyone. Props to Captain Ahab to actually use them for musical purposes. (Translation: Bunch of fuckers beat me to it. >:( )
