Re: Evaluating new forums

Just looked at the ElkArte forums on my phone. I'm impressed, their default theme is responsive and for the most part worked great on my iPhone 6.

Re: I didn't even know her! (Meat Grinder prefight)

Heh. didn't take me long to listen to that entire fight, and the NiL track is delightfully weird. The Pricklypears kinda remind me of Squirrels in the Attic. One of these songs is not like the other, the Giant Robot Attack track is quite out of place, but still cool.

Re: You Mean We Do Reviews? (You Mean The World)

Berkeley Social Scene Really like the way the guitars trade licks on the solo with different tones and different panning, sounds really good. That "kick me when I'm down" in the chorus stuck in my head after a few listens, and I found myself humming it later. Charles and Pierre Etienne Yo...

The Jerks are in. Our song is also a little bit weird, something about the title I think inspired folks to try something a bit different.

Re: What Pet Is Right For You? (Pick An Animal reviews)

bgm Big Star, Matthew Sweet, the Posies, I love this kind of rock. Those guitars, the main riff on the right, the warm chords on the left, sound so good. The bridge, omg the bridge is sublime. The jangly shimmering strummed guitar chords, and the gorgeous harmony vocals on 'fly', that shit gets me ...

Re: Evaluating myBB

So myBB looks and feels very similar to phpBB, so it probably won't be that difficult of a switch. I couldn't find a 'View active topics' feature though, which seems pretty important. There is an active fork of SMF called ElkArte that looks pretty good and has some good buzz online.

Ugh, this took me way too long, it didn't help that I kept putting it off. But better late than never right?

Whaaaa? New songs posted on the same day as they're due, I could get used to that. Seriously though, excellent work on getting everything out so quickly, I really appreciate it.

Re: Dawn, Diary, Land, Survival, and (Day of the Dead review

Wow, this fight is packed. I finally got around to listening to them all, and the one that made the strongest first impression on me was from Possum Sauce. Is it the spooky melody, or the way he drawls 'braaains'? Great stuff. I went back and listened to Possum Sauce's only other entry Bully which I...

We're sorta called out by name here. I think it's safe to assume the Fightmaster will reject any Jerkatorium submissions submitted after 10:00 Pacific.

Re: Google Chrome gains MIDI support

It could pave the way for something like Google Docs, and how it turned boring word processing into a multi-user collaborative affair. Of course a DAW is way more resource intensive than a word processor, but I could see a MIDI-only DAW that could skirt a lot of latency and bandwidth issues.
