Definitely digging on yours roboctopus

I was like, "But I changed my name to anonymous!" 

Then I realized that even if you change your name in the entry, it still tells you who uploaded it at the bottom...   big_smile

This was actually informative.  I don't know how to solder, and I don't know anyone who does, but I've been meaning to learn.  I think I'll give it a go.  Thanks for the inspirational link.

Is really not that hard, you just keep attention to not fry anything tongue

I tried to solder a loose connection in a Big Muff pedal a few years back with a borrowed soldering iron.  I fried a few things, (pedal and skin included, haha).  I've been scared to try again every since.  But I would really like to mod my gameboys.

how cool that they lay it out like a comic book.

Anything you can learn from a comic book is worth learning.

Anything.

I say two threads.  The weekly and bi-weekly seem like totally different ideas to me.  One is a thematic challenge and one is a technical one.

Looks like we'll see what Jredd thinks of taking over since Arlen specifically asked for him...and if not...then someone who has the most free time (not really too much of a factor other than remember to make a comp every 2 weeks) and ideas should be next in line.  It's summer for me and I am loaded with ideas so I definitely have the time to do it. It would probably work well considering I run the Weekly Challenges and would be able to sync the dates up for both in a way that promotes hearing both listening parties one right after the other or something. 

I'm really not hellbent on running it.  I would have a blast, but honestly if someone else is super pumped about running it...I don't have any problems lol.

I'm also creating a Tumblr (If I can ever figure out the fucking HTML coding for the theme...) which will showcase:

- These two competitions
- Reviews and Insights of chips I think other artists could learn a lot from or just generally interesting and well written ones.
- A Spotlight on (lesser known / just starting) chip artists who've written a song I find particularly bangin' and that I feel deserves more attention and have a promising future of composing ahead of them. (run-on sentence...deal with it)
- My Music

I have a pretty large history writing music reviews (back in: late high school / early college) for local magazines and newspapers in one of my bordering states.  It was mostly on rock and metal and some of the underground scene. I know many enjoyed reading them.  I figured this would be a great way to get back to my roots whilst putting a little spin on it.

Since I've come to sincerely appreciate this group's opinions and advice...

....THOUGHTS?

Dunno much about HTML, but I'm a technical writer, so let me know if you need editing/proofreading done.  I'm like, a pro or something.

Yes. Wav+noise only big_smile also one without drums

No drums is a nice idea. 

Or pulse channels only, and specify that it has to be percussion heavy.  big_smile

I look forward to what loopy challenges are in store, for sure.

We should have a 2 channel challenge or something really limiting like that.  Like Noise + 1 or something.

The waves for these entries look awesome.  So spiky.  I'm impressed with all the tunez.  Giving out my vote will be tough.  What did everyone use?  I used LSDJ.

I just listened to all Doomsberry's tracks.  Thanks for the heads-up!

@8-Bit-Rex.  I think he's talking about them using DC instead of DS.  DC10 is a jet.  Maybe they want you to dominate an aircraft on stage...
