That is pretty cool! I hope it doesn't end up like OGG; where it is technically quite nice, but finds little use outside of enthusiast or technical communities, and has little to no hardware support.

If I just named the thing, I guess I'd better have a track in it.

I have this weird tingly feeling like Lazerbeat made a subtle yet very appreciable joke, and it is way over my head!

He's saying that your band name is reminiscent of an established member of the scene.

Re: Drag'n'Derp: the gameboy cart to end all gameboy carts (705 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yeah, that's the 3.8mm bit.
I ended up getting a Video Game Screwdriver Set at my local Fry's maybe two months ago, and it was totally worth it in my opinion. For a bit more than the cost of tri-wing screw drivers and security bits, you get an entire set with the ratcheting handle.

Re: Competition for card game "soundtrack" (52 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm glad this thread came up, since it opened the dialogue on spec work.
I'm generally against spec work, and the "graphic design competition" idea generally makes me ill at ease, especially when it is proposed by another artist—in that case, it is simply one artist devaluing the work of another artist. That said, I did enter the Nonelectronics Sticker Design Contest, but it was my choice to do that even though I was well aware that it was spec work as well as a grey area for my own ethics.
That said, its a matter of both principals and of personal investment. I churned out 4 sticker designs in Illustrator using design elements left over from earlier work, and it didn't take me that long. However, I'm an exceptionally mediocre musician, and I can't imagine ever finishing a 10 minute long composition. That is an opus by my standards. I couldn't fathom letting the rights to that go for $100 and a slap on the back.

You could always change your terms before you and the hypothetical artist(s) enter a legal agreement so that they retain their rights and you license the song at an affordably low royalty rate. How badly do you think your game will fail? Bad enough that you can't afford 5% or 10% royalties on usage of the song in your marketing? That doesn't sound like a lot of faith in your product.

Yo dude.
Come visit the ATX crew, we are chill as hell.
As for peeps in DFW, I know that PixyJunket was in that area for a while, and MicroD is holding it down around there too.

I hadn't heard of it until now. I like the idea, but I'd probably try to find a way to make it switchable, or install auxiliary buttons.
