RIPCAST, gaming and more
Going thru 5 GIGs of music is harder than I expected. I knew it'd take some time to filter thru it all but geeze.. gah, this is taking a bit. I wasn't sure but I confirmed it yesterday, 80kbps files dont translate to cdr's. So all my DRS yadda dadda tracks wont burn to CD. That's a bummer. Sure they burn but they dont play back correctly. 128kbps play back ok though. A minor setback in the great effort.
Sometimes I come across a hundred or so songs that I've never heard of artist wise and I dunno that's just suprising to me still. Least in the realm of techno and such, I mean I thought I had it all. Least for a time back there in the 90's I had a very complete collection. Still to come across techno artists I've never heard of, just odd to me still. Granted I deleted most of the tracks, cause well, thats why I never heard of them, didnt get on the decent groove radar. Then I hear songs that were ripped from other songs or songs that had riffs that people would later steal from them, the sampled. The occasionally you hit a ringer, a song ya know but you never knew.
Things are looking pretty bleeeeeek on the gaming front these days, well PC gaming at least. Consoles its still just racing games, nothing else is catchin my eye on consoles lately and on the PC.. well.. there just nothing out there that grabs me. I killed off AC2 as hard as it was killing off a high lvl character in there, but it just wasnt baggin the fun time for the $$ spent playing it. I started playing Dungeon Siege again for fun, added some mods and so far so good its ok. Can't find my UT 2003 or Quake 3 dics.. that what I really need to be playing. So Clint if yer reading this and have those discs over there, lemme snag them back. :P
I debated getting Tron2.0 just for the graphics, the game itself, least the demo I played didnt appeal to me all that much. But the graphics look amazing and I love that look so thats a maybe. I've even put Serious Sam back on the drives, I need something.
