I sometimes listen to Hard.FM for my fix of Hardstyle and Philosomatika for some lovely psytrance when I'm programming. Makes me feel all cyberpunk.

I think I'm still on this, although I share my account with a friend and she only ever plays Half Life, its all I really play too, until I get a desktop replacement.

Re: Korg Kaossilator Pro (8 replies, posted in Other Hardware)
It looks better than the original, actually usable this time, and its got a few neat little things that sound interesting but don't warrant the presumably out of my range price tag.
The last thing Korg did that impressed me was the Nano series, and the Electribes were pretty good but I've only got to play with the MX..
Korg gear does nearly always look good, and I really like the colour scheme on this.

Yeah saying under appreciated is a little ambiguous and subjective.
HOWEVER
I bring you all .sid files of the genius John Dunn who did pieces for Platoon, Rambo 3 and the Ocean Loader.

mp3s are also available and that site is a handy little resource for finding .sid files from games.

I've actually heard this before, it is indeed a great song, I think it was in some keygen music pack I downloaded, or it might have been on a keygen I've happened to come across but definitely not use. Its like the best part about keygens when they've got the good music, nowadays people just shove a few serials in a text file or make an exe crack, its just not as fun.

He's definitely under appreciated though, and for all the newcomers I suppose or people who just might have, perish the thought, missed him out for some reason. Like I'd question if anyone didn't know Syphus, but that's pretty much because he's on my doorstep.
ALSO another local artist I really like but feel he doesn't get enough recognition is Cerebral Scars, really nice guy with some great music behind him, seen him live a few times, once he even shared a stage with Syphus and GOTO80.
AND
FTFX

Syphus is a local genius.

Aliceffekt has done brilliant chiptune based things, more so under his MALICE side project.

I had one of them like 9 years ago, it had games and IR and I loved it. Then I smashed it.

These are really good man, you should make games if you don't already, or at least do the art/sprites for them. I especially like the lighthouse one, and would quite like to visit there someday.

Re: Post your gig/home setup! (1,620 replies, posted in General Discussion)
<Teh, when you wake up tomorrow insert a picture here. Sincerely - Teh>
My set up hasn't really changed for noise purposes, same MSI Wind running Renoise Tracker and a ton of samples/vsts, same Korg Nano set controlling stuff inside Renoise, same cheap MIDI keyboard for jamming, same D2 Groovebox I neglect and spit at when I look at it, same Behringer Mixer everything is supposed to run through without catching fire and the same KP2 for external effects.
Only recent addition is actually something I build a long time ago when Syphus helped set up the Chiptune Marching Band, a little sort of drone synth/tractor percussion, removed the speaker and stuck an output onto it so I could plug it into my amp and kaoss pad. Pretty basic stuff.

Re: DSi Flipnote Studio (10 replies, posted in Graphics, Artwork & Design)
This did look pretty awesome, and IGN loved it.
For non DSi users theres also Animanitee which is homebrew and will run on all flavors of DS.
I have sat for hours at a time making silly frame by frame animations of peoples heads exploding.
