Let's play a... game?
April 25th 2008, 02:36 CEST by bishop After spending several months not giving a damn, I finally got around to purchasing the orange box and I am now getting into playing Team Fortress 2 on a regular basis. This feels like a game that most of us have, and could probably get into organizing game nights around. So why not? Gabe's already going through the initial steps on server setup! Maybe it's a horrible idea doomed to failure (this topic sure seems like that!) but when was the last time all of us got together to play something? Enemy Territory? Bombing Run? And just think, there are no pants for me to steal! I've never made a topic before. I have no idea what I am doing. |

I've got it! Headphones! |

Wife ! loud music. Ray, I better say this now: I've said nasty things about you some days ago while you were absent, in case you read up on recent posts. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

It is a bit of a chaos in the sense that I have a few albums who's songs are called Track1, Track2 etc. With a click of the mouse you can change the name of the song in a program like iTunes, and probably other programs. Caryn, I rarely listen to an entire album anyway. Normally I'll listen to maybe 3-4 tracks and then I've had enough. That doesn't really have anything to do with music programs. All music programs allow you to listen to whatever songs you want, make playlists of any songs you want, etc. Whatever system works for you is fine, but it sounds like you've never, ever looked at a music program ever and just assume it doesn't do anything useful when it sounds like you're making extra work for yourself that a program like iTunes would automatically handle with ease. Bellydance!

Wrong, Caryn. I have tried MediaMonkey and one or two others, and while some of those programs did look nice and useful, I never really felt a need for them, that's all. Plus I prefer Windows Explorer to some of those terribly colourful and happy program skins. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
What the fuck? Why would you do that? I don't even know you. |
|
MediaMonkey is a terrible piece of crap. iTunes deserves better than to be mentioned in the same sentence. |
|
Ray, I think mainly because you called me an idiot. And, it's easy to talk about the dead and absent :P "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
MediaMonkey was the first program of this kind that showed up after some googleing, and I tried it. I couldn't tell if it was particularly good or bad, as I don't really know what I can expect those programs to do. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

I don't have to like him and you don't have to like me, no problem. He's an inbreed, redneck psycho, and of course it's understandable you feel you must continue to slurp his penis because he once made a comic character out of you. I don't really need you to get any approval in life, I get that from people who mean more to me than you do. I got a cheap box of wine and a quiver full of insults that would make a tiawanese pimp blush should you want to explore the "inbreed, redneck psycho..." bit. |
|
And, hey, that whole TOTY thread where y'all basically disown me is downright disappointing. I just haven't been posting because I'm busy. Not because you eat meat. For the sake of fuck, you dipsticks. |
|
This is a bit awkward... I got a bit carried away in the moment and I ended up saying that. I'm no one to call you that. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
I just don't see a reason for the vitriol other than a lame attempt at gaining cred. It's my estimation that… every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I never disowned you! I even thought about calling you, since you called me that time I left forever. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson

Bob, the Thrixty is still kicking! The old bitch won't die! |

Even after the towel thing? Awesome. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Yeah. I still get to reap the benefit of all your Live Arcade purchases for the foreseeable future. (Knock on relatively accessible laminate surface.). |

How many points do we get for a "It's called treaty mode. It's there for people who want to enforce that kind of play. In other words, it's there for the Dutch."
|
|
5 points. Been a while. |

Not to bago it up, but meta-data FTW. Format for the loss. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

But still, Shadarr carried your torch for you. I think he has a shire in his closet for you. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

OK... Bob got into his car and drove all the way from Alabammy to Oregon. On the way he stayed with several people from PC and/or Qt3. I'm not sure whether he and Ergo met in the meantime. Anyway, Bob now lives and works in Portland, OR and has already made some unwise game related purchases. Good for you, Bob, I hope you're happier now than you were in your old situation. Morn moved to the UK with his girlfriend. Format came back and made a total idiot out of himself. He also moved out of the Canaries Islands and went back to Germany. Post-it is still alive. Planetcrap however, is dead and mostly migrated to Qt3. Which coincidentally gets a lot of mention here on PC. IRC and Qt3 are the new PC now. I had my coming out. Hugin is wrong about which women are hot, Caryn is wrong about which men are hot. Everybody watched your (Px's) success grow with pleasure and envy at the same time. How are you doing, now that we're on the subject? That's about it, I think. "It's called treaty mode. It's there for people who want to enforce that kind of play. In other words, it's there for the Dutch."

Hat trick! If I ever went to a hocky game, I would never throw my hat onto the ice. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

'Sup, Ray? |

Don't forget that Gabe trolled the troll that must not be named, lest you be scolded by funk, away forever (starts with J and ends with oker). <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.
|

Hey, you know what, guys, I apologize. It was honestly a pretty fucking stressful time for me. I'm happy to say that I rebooted my freelance career and have been doing really well. I've gotten some pretty big accounts (NDA laden, so IRC only) and am totally steeped in work. I've been systematically raising my rates and still have to deny a few people a day. It's going gang busters. Cheesy, the ability to buy mass quantities of relatively cheap alcohol steered me towards the grape. Two-Buck Chuck was my gateway wine. |
|
Gun, I'm really glad to hear that you get to be yourself now. |
|
I'm not sure whether he and Ergo met in the meantime. He has. Bob has been over to my house a few times. We're glad to have him. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

Oh, and Ray, we're glad to have you back. And congrats on the work. Invention is the Green Goblin of Necessary Lemonade.

i am the scold mastor!!!! Funk |

I'd move to Portland if I could afford a few acres of land zoned to allow for my chickens and horse. Also, I'd have to build a home for my mother in law on the property. That's where the expense becomes too great. |

My general method of using my iPod is to put the whole library on shuffle and just go with it. |
|
#97 by McBain My general method of using my iPod is to put the whole library on shuffle and just go with it. Ditto. Trying to sort and catalogue and playlist 50 gigs of music generally isn't worth it for me. |
|
So what happened to this huge qt3 game none of you could play tonight because of? |
|
#99 by bishop So what happened to this huge qt3 game none of you could play tonight because of? I fell asleep before it started and missed it. Apparently it was on a different server than normal, so I'm not sure how successful it was. |
|
Well, I've reached my battlefield murder quota for the evening, let's go to gabe's! |
|
I do the same as McBain. Also, while everyone was treating Px like dirt, I called him a prince. |
|
I also kept the faith. I know which side of the compound fence I want to be on when Peak Oil comes. |
|
"Middle Eastern Ambient" LOLOL!!!! The sound of knees scootching across concrete while the theme from "Deliverance" is played via recorder and cobra. Where do I sign? |
|
Playing as scout is fun, but switching from scout to anything else is a lot less. You go so sloooooow. Love is sneaking into their base as an engineer and setting up a dispenser, turret, and teleporter in their control room. And then catching their winning flag running group completely off guard and slaughtering them to the last man, while a scout zips in through the telly and ends up winning the game off of that capture. |

Windows Media Player has built-in "find this song in a gigantic database, then rename and move the file to its proper folders and make the ID3 tags all correct" feature. I don't really care if you're using WMP, iTunes, Winamp or whatever to play your music, I just wanna point out that one hugely awesome feature in WMP. It's the one thing that has coherently sorted my entire music collection, I just do it album for album every so often. Oh, and yes, it also downloads album art. Teee-rrific "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke

Also, gunpoint didn't mention how gabe had the best damn response to g-man's trolling (thanks crapsift, thanksgabe). Good times, that one. "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke
|
|
Gaggle, iTunes does the same. There's really no reason to not use iTunes, Windows Media Player, or even Foobar (with the appropriate plugins). |
|
Oh, wait, iTunes does that? With the database searching I mean? I only figured out that I could manually rename a song to its proper name and then use some rightclick option to get iTunes to download the album art. Which is good, but maybe my song collection tends to be a little more spastic than what iTunes expect, because often I won't even know which album the song is part of. I'd have to manually google for that, whereas WMP's search feature usually lists the appropriate songs (when its part of multiple albums) and I just click whichever cover-art I like the best and everything else is handled automagically. "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke
|

How does iTunes handle folder and song names full of shit like {Singer} - [song_title_ripped_by_whoever]? "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|
|
I misunderstood your post. No, iTunes doesn't automagically tag stuff for you. It does download album art, but for obscure/indie music it fails. I just retag my albums as I add them. Ten seconds of work for all the benefits of the smart playlists. |
|
Format, with tags. If the tags are right, the filename can be whatever the hell it wants. |
|
I prefer my musicapplication to rename my files for me, forcing consistency everywhere. But that's just my preference, I can see how not everyone cares about their exact filestructure. With iTunes its not like you ever have to deal with it, just drag and drop music onto the player and everything is automatic from there on out. Pretty clever system. As it looks now I'll miss WMP once I go Mac, though I assume I'll learn to appreciate its advantages over time. "the accusations are such nonsense that I have found it difficult to treat them with the contempt that they deserve." - Clarke
|
|
It does rename/re-organize the folder structure. It just doesn't auto-fill tags. I'm sure there is an Applescript or freeware app to do it, though. |
