  1. I figured this was a better place for this than any other forum, so...

     

     

     

    Any of you have experience with Rockbox? I'm considering installing it on my iPod, but would like to get opinions from others before I do.

  2. I'm not sure I'll find much help here, but I figured I'd give it a try:

     

     

     

    I listen to a lot of Elliott Brood (which, for those of you who have never listed to them, is a very, very good band. I highly

    their music out), but have not ventured further than them into the genre of alt-country. I'm wondering if any more initiated TIFers could recommend some good artists from the genre, preferably in the same vein as Elliott Brood.
  3. Vocals: Yuki Chikudate (Asobi Seksu)

     

    Guitars/Programming: Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine)

     

    Addition effects such as E-bow: Jónsi Birgisson (Sigur Rós)

     

    Bass: Mauro Pezzente (Godspeed You! Black Emperor)

     

    Drums: Yasunori Takada (Mono)

     

     

     

    Of course, they would play shoegazing post-rock with blissful female vocals.

     

     

     

    No Bilinda Butcher on vocals? :(

  4. Listening now, awesome so far.

     

     

     

    What artists would you recommend from this genre? I'd love to check it out more. :)

     

     

     

    Distance, Burial, and Boxcutter are all great places to start.

  5. I had an RSC account, played it rarely, mainly just stuffed around. This was before the whole lets remove every inactive account from RSC thing.

     

     

     

    After taking a break from RS in general, my account can no longer play RSC.

     

     

     

    Same, unfortunately. I'd really like to be able to mess around on my RSC character--after spending... two and a half years of my life on it, I miss the old game. :/

  6. I was wondering if any TIFers were fans of the dubstep genre? I quite like it, myself, and my interest in it has been slowly growing for some time.

    A few good songs by notable dubstep artists.

     

     

     

    Dubstep is a genre of electronic music that has its roots in London's early 2000s UK garage scene. Musically, dubstep is distinguished by its dark mood, sparse rhythms, and emphasis on bass. Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006, with many websites devoted to the genre appearing on the Internet and thus aiding the growth of the scene, such as dubstepforum, the download site Barefiles and blogs such as gutterbreakz.[1] Simultaneously, the genre was receiving extensive coverage in music magazines such as The Wire and online publications such as Pitchfork Media, with a regular feature entitled The Month In: Grime/Dubstep. Interest in dubstep grew significantly after BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs started championing the genre, beginning with a show devoted to it (entitled "Dubstep Warz") in January 2006.[2][3][4]
  7. Don't draw too many conclusions about Wu-Tang from 8 Diagrams. Instead, listen to debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), which remains to this day one of the greatest works in hip-hop. GZA's (of Wu-Tang fame) Liquid Swords is another phenomenal album.

  8. Madvillain got me into Hip-Hop. There are quite a few artists I really enjoy, but then there are a lot that have been huge disappointments to me given the hype, e.g. A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang Clan.

     

    Wu-Tang was a disappointment? :(

     

     

     

    A Tribe Called Quest was a disappointment!?

  9. No, Why? well, Brain damage, Lung damage, other stuff that is assorted to smoking that crap.

     

     

     

    I think it should only be used in medical reasons.

     

     

     

    I just think marijuana is just a peice of crap that screws up our society.

     

    Im done ranting.

     

     

     

    Brain damage? Please.

     

     

     

    Respiratory damage can be mitigated by the use of vaporizers, and there have been no conclusive links between marijuana and cancer--in fact, many believe that tetrahydrocannabinol actually has anticarcinogenic properties.

  10. Not runescape, but rather in the space of 2-3 years, going from making almost 0 profit with like.. 12 staff, max, to making millions and millions of profit a year.

     

     

     

    I remember a picture being posted here a few years ago of the Jagex staff on their day out paintballing. Then a few short years later, and there are more staff there than can even know each other, and backing investors. It's no longer a personal thing.

     

     

     

    Absolutely astonishing.

     

     

     

    This.

     

     

     

    I think it was when they went premium version.

     

    That was the decisive step from being a banner click website, to a real company with real employees not working in their moms basement anymore :thumbsup:

     

    Truth is there would be no Runescape or Runescape 2 if it wasn't for the transition. The costs of running the servers and upkeep was too high and nobody clicked banners even though Andrew said we should, threatening to either shut down RS completely or making the game p2p. So he can thank all the lazy buggers of old for now being one of UK's top 100 richest bachelors \'

     

     

     

    Also, this. And I rofl'd.

  11. It's been 4 weeks since we've had such an update.I don't think RS has ever had such an update drought before.

     

     

     

    :shock:

     

     

     

    Back in my day, we were happy to get an update every four weeks.

     

     

     

    God, I feel old.

     

    rofl

     

     

     

    nice

     

     

     

    when was "your day"?

     

     

     

    Let me put it to you this way: when Jagex was dropping christmas crackers throughout RuneScape, and players everywhere were getting party hats, I was fishing for lobsters, oblivious to it all, and thinking the whole thing was rather silly.
