Mixing Subway Sonicbeat's and Herrn Prof's ideas:

1. Tenochtitlan, The Aztec Empire, 1428 AD
2. Nineveh, Assyria, 1800 BC
3. Pripyat, Russia, 1987 AD
4. Vienna, Austria, 1781 AD
5. New Orleans, USA, 1922 AD

I hope it's not the Seinfeld idea because the EP could end up just as boring as the show.

This great, great work guys. The wall-punch and roll reminded me somewhat of Metroid mechanics (which is a good thing). Add some Commander Keen and let me look up/down and pogo with my glove

Jumping off vines was sometimes a little awkward. Maybe add a millisecond delay before you can grab again, that should make it easier.

Graphics and music are top. The puzzles to get to secrets are nicely thought out as well. I certainly had fun playing (the secret level totally busted my nuts. Guess I'm not used to NES difficulty anymore ). I especially enjoyed the little touches like bats going o_-

Edit: Oh yeah, I agree with fluidvolt on how good the mechanics work once you get used to them. You get a feeling of flow, which to me is a sign that a game really works.

Tested some encoders @ 128 kbps CBR 44kHz

The raw wave, perfect square:

LAME 3.98, surprisingly the worst of the bunch:

Fraunhofer FastEncc 1.02, not much better. I think iTunes uses this:

BladeEnc 0.94.2 was the best at this bitrate. Also surprising, considering it's bad rep and age:

As you can hear, the effect appears mostly with low to mid frequencies. Maybe I'll test a little with VBR setting later, just out of curiosity.

Didn't test XING because I couldn't find a stand-alone encoder and didn't want to bother to install some crap.

I don't think so. I tried different channel setting (joint/split/stereo/mono) and the error still occurs. The OGG algorithm had the same problem. What's your LAME version, trash80?

Haha thumbs up for SNAFU.

No, the first time people just started circlejerking about how cool it would be to throw a pie in her face. The thread then reduced to the usual meme fest until 8bc's average attention span was exhausted, upon which it was buried under junk and was forgotten. This happened with several other theft-threads- this guy's myspace is still up.

Which once again has affirmed my assumption that a lot of people -especially over there- just like the 'drama' around theft (including the opportunity to act like a pompous asshole) instead of trying to rectify the situation.
