What do you think this is, 8bc?
This somehow boggles my mind in too many ways.
I don't really care about limitations. I compose in a DAW, use a motherload of effects, eq, compression, all the good stuff. If I want string samples in, so be it. If I want a specific synthesis effect, I'll just make a softsynth that can do it. I love that freedom, and I enjoy creating new sounds or ways to use the sounds- chipmusic is a timbral and compositional thing for me. As a listener I do like to listen to someone juggle a tune on 2 channels, and as a composer I sometimes do it myself, just to see if I can- but as nitro2k01 said, I only do that as a specific challenge for myself. It's great fun to get a bit competetive with fellow musicians in compilations and such, too.
At the end of the day though, the only curcial thing about any music, by me or others, is if I want to listen to it again (ie, I enjoy it).
Oh, and I really don't see what's so bad about being nostalgic. Nostalgia doesn't prevent anyone from moving forward.
Also, what microB said. I don't know how happy EvilWezil's music is though...it's sorta happy in a "we are all going to die one day" kind of way.
Heh, depends also on the album (the eponymous debut is quite happy, imo), but I was thinking more in comperative terms towards death / prog / tech metal.

Seriously. Cool programming if so!
Haha, I love this.
Random person: Eeeeew, modem noise!
Random tracker person: Awesome!! This is so cool!!
EvilWezil has good riffs and knows to play with signatures. Might be a little too happy for you, maybe.

Hmm, Chalices of the Past maybe. more glitchy than metal though.

Norrin_Radd is the jackpot right there though, given your list.
Since I don't play live or anything, "please put something else on" was pretty much the worst I got. Then again, I only played my music to friends, and all of them are rather tolerant when it comes to different opinions in taste.
Isn't this the Bieber-slow-down thingy?
I thought it does sound pretty decent, although I don't have much use for it atm.
If I can scrape the money together, I'll be there this year.
*fingers crossed*
Also, Natty wins, forever.
For the ones I piece together between days it's hard to tell... when I do one in a single go, about 3 to 4 hours.
She's having sweet FM sexyness right now, go go OPL waifu!
Hmm, chip + acapella pops up once in a while.

Updated first post! Thanks all for contributing, special thanks to Subterrestrial for his excellent link collections.
I've added a few myself:
Sound recordings by satellites of various extraterrestrial EM phenomena
http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/space-audio/
4300(!) single cycle waveforms, perfect for making those 4k or 8k modules

Pretty sizable archiv of acapellas/filterpellas, various genres
http://acapellarchives.blogspot.com/
ui, there's already a list in the first post. I'll just have to update it already :x
Erk, I seriously need to update this thread. I have a few new links myself... hm, maybe around the weekend
Oh! And thank you everyone for keeping it alive & sharing good sample goodness!
Haha, you definitely have to answer that each time you get asked what kind of music you make now.
Me neither, but 'chipsläpp' is an awesome genre tag!
