Reasons we should all troll the page hardcore  --> Note: each ellipsis (...) implies heavy eye rolling and facepalming
----------------------------------------------------------

a) They're 16 year olds trying to lay claim to a name for their "band" that's been in use by another artist longer than 3 months...

2) They're 16 year olds trying to lay claim to a name for their "band" that's been in use by another artist longer than 3 months...

iii) They're holding auditions for a singer... (see reason a and 2)

IV) The kid who plays the acoustic alternates between elementary major chords in first and occasionally second position...

五) The kid who plays the electric downpicks EVERYTHING...

#//) The only fans are those they see in their highschool classes...

B=D) That Connor fella is a little douche.  His flames make no sense, he made a laughably dumb joke about all chipartists being virgins and              .        he is joined by pedobear in his facebook picture...

I think those are reasons enough to man the harpoons.

Wow this really surprised me.  I'd see your posts as well as this thread every once in a while and always meant to check the album out, but never did (for one bad reason or another) until just now.  I love it.  I didn't think I'd enjoy the narration at all, but It was definitely entertaining and I wasn't facepalming like I thought I would be while listening to them.  The more robotic and distorted ones like "armed to the teeth" were great.  Definitely grabbing the rest of your stuff.  I'm curious/excited to listen to the 15 themed album.  Keep it up!

Both my girlfriend and my rival think glasses make them look un-fashionable or un-cool.

I hear you on that.

Plus my rival picked the fire-type AFTER I had already chosen the grass-type. 

I mean what the shit is with that? 

At least my name isn't "iHaveCrabs".  He's never going to be the Pokemon champion with a ridiculous name like that.

...and they wonder why I had a problem with them using the name. Their guitarist said to me in a post that I've been nothing but respectful in my messages to them, and so far his bandmates/friends have made several personal attacks (seen above), sent me hate mail personally and referred to me as a "dick" and a "paedophile".

really it's your fault for having the idea for the name before them. god what's wrong with you?


Plus I'm pretty sure if any respectable human being happened to start a new band named "Laughy-Jokes" or whatever, found out there was already one named "Laughy-Jokes" which had been around for years....there'd be no way in hell he/she fight to keep the name.  I mean seriously...what are these kids thinking?

a) they suck
2) They act like they're fucking Iron Maiden or something.
(.Y.) They're like...16

This shit drives me insane. 

I bet they weren't beaten enough as children.

Snow makes my eyes hurt.  Plus I like how trashbaby looks different than 8bc's page.

Ah...the stars...You're right....I retract my last statement ....the thumbs say 2 but the stars say 3....now I am confused.


I'm almost positive "stars" are total votes in all competitions and "thumbs" are for the single competition alone...thus...Jredd and I tied.

I had 1 star going into comp. 3 since I had 1 vote in comp. 1
2 votes in comp. 3 pushed me up to 3 stars.

Holy dear god those facebook posts just support even more the reason why I hate (most) teenagers and how I swear I went from being 10 playing capture the flag and TMNT 3 with my friends, to 23 playing capture the flag and TMNT 3 by myself...........wait...

Whhhhhaaaaaaaa?  That's unexpected.  *High fives Jredd*

Also I helped vote you into that tie...and I don't regret it.

...oh well.

haha It's all good, Jredd.  Was just having an "evaluating-sarcasm-malfunction" yesterday.  Thanks for the praise and once i do pick up beepola, if I run into problems i'll let you know.

And yeah...I first started with LSDJ on an emulator and was like "Why do people say it sucks in comparison to a real gameboy?".....and then I got an LSDJ cart....and then I understood...

Yeah I do agree...messing around is the best way to learn.  I was more or less praising your skills tongue

Also...I basically have no idea how to wrap my brain around the latter half of your comment...

So, Jredd......you're amazing with beepola......I might try my hand at it......you should lend me some pro tips......I'd tell you "thank you very much" and you can pretend that I'm actually saying "Here have some free Girl Scout cookies in return for your pro tips"......and then we'd fall in love.

At least you had enough motivation to start this competition for goofy chip nerd musicians like me tongue. I've got a question for you guys. I've got a friend who is a very good composer but he writes music with guitar...and so he picked up guitar tab for writing midi's. So, he's done a couple of tunes with a mega drive/genesis sound font. Now before you say "eeeewwww!" Have a listen to this.

http://8bc.org/music/Jabo/Through+Burning+Space+FM/ 

Now if this competition is strictly for trackers I understand. But he can write original music, and it sounds pretty cool through an FM sound font tongue. I also ask, because I have an FM synth keyboard and other keyboards that I can write music on including my modern one that I can get a gritty sid-like sound out of., and I wonder how that would float in this competition. I'll leave it up to you arlen. Thanks. I've got a lot of musician friends but not a lot of them are chip tune writers. Perhaps that would "downgrade" the competition. But I'm just throwing it out there, smile


I commented.  His shit is the tits.  Want MOAR!

Also...be honest with yourself.  Don't tell yourself "Yeah cool this song is done" when you know there are some bits that need reworking.  Be modest with regard to your own musical talent.  It's easy to come off as really arrogant with regard to music as there are many out there that would love to be talented musically but think they can't or don't have the motivation, so try not to come off as an asshole.  From personal experience from the opposite end (I haven't played a chipmusic show BUT I have played metal shows) be extravagant as hell...and I don't mean shout: "OH SHIT LOOK AT ME I'M THE TITS!", I mean get really into it, dance, tell your audience to do things like stand up or stomp.  Possibly get a small gimmick somewhere in there...just so the audience can AT LEAST walk away from the concert thinking there was one thing to did that was clever/cool/the cat's pajamas.  Get all those bitches some free shit, bitches love free shit.  Jump on the opportunity if you meet ANYONE that seems interested in your music...don't treat them like an afterthought.  Meet people on a personal level rather than a "I want more people to show up to my gig" level.

Yeah I agree with pixls.  Your art is DEFINITELY up my alley and very good.  I'll be sure to get at you at some point in the future, but for now I'm sure you'll get some other offers.
