It's pretty much Beamz, except a game controller instead of lasers.

I guess it's weird because from what I can tell there's only 4 samples? And they're noise drums? And you have to purchase something extra to be able to load your own samples?

The irony of making "Chiptune done easy" is the that they always miss the point. They also miss all the things that make it sound great.
Ooo a sampler in the shape of a controller. *Gaming references!* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

a bunch of gigging musicians from new york and philadelphia saying "uh yea but its different irl"
Just for the record, Buffalo NY is about 9 hours away from NYC. I am the only regular gigging chip musician in my city. Anova doesn't live in Philly anymore. We travel for shows, spent a decent chunk of change going to Lwlvl 2 months ago, it was way worth it.

Your mileage may vary, I chat with chipbros on the Internet literally every day, and rarely on this site

I am in fact asking people to join my circle jerk. The going to shows, making new friends, and loving music circle jerk. The Internet is fucking great, but it's missing the best part of chipmusic.

Lesson to take away:
Internet will be a constantly evolving circle jerk. Sometimes better than others. Try not to worry about it so much, your favorite site might disappear tomorrow, but the people remain the same.
You should really make an effort to go to some shows or festivals. That's how you feel the magic, that's how you really find great artists. Lots of people travel cross country or internationally for fests. Calmdown Kidder came from the UK for 8static and I'm sure he had an incredible time, despite the expense. I know it can be hard and scary, but no risk no reward.

and if youre near chicago, be prepared to travel a few hundred miles if you want to be at a gig with more than 10-12 people in attendance ... i mean, its a lot easier for you guys within a 3-4 hour ride from philly or nyc or sf or any of the places with scenes that have things going on on a semi-regular or regular basis, theres just not much going on in some cities and travel is sometimes cost or time prohibitive.. i had a 20+ hours trip between cars, trains and buses to get out to nyc for lwlvl ,.. not everyone can spare that kind of time...
BRKFEST?
Also I toured through Chicago and had ~50 people in attendance, so stuff is happening dude, just keep your eyes open!
