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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

He has. Bob has been over to my house a few times. We're glad to have him.

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.

Ditto. Trying to sort and catalogue and playlist 50 gigs of music generally isn't worth it for me.

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.

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

Gaggle, iTunes does the same. There's really no reason to not use iTunes, Windows Media Player, or even Foobar (with the appropriate plugins).
#109 by gaggle
2008-04-26 16:25:23
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.

How does iTunes handle folder and song names full of shit like {Singer} - [song_title_ripped_by_whoever]?

#111 by Penguinx
2008-04-26 16:30:36
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.
#112 by Penguinx
2008-04-26 16:31:10
Format, with tags. If the tags are right, the filename can be whatever the hell it wants.

2008-04-26 16:38:36
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.

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.
#115 by gaggle
2008-04-26 16:54:00
Ah. Okay, clever. I still have one little pedantic detail to complain/ask about, if you'll indulge me :). Did I do something wrong or does iTunes rename files without using the full name? Like if the song or album's full name is too long it cuts it off? Not that you'd notice from within iTunes, it shows all the proper names there, but my filestructure got pretty mangled. Or it could be a Windows iTunes thing I suppose.

I think mine sets the name as follows: Folder for artist, folder for album, actual mp3. The mp3 only has the track number and song title in it. It may truncate long file names, yes.
#117 by gaggle
2008-04-26 17:11:07
Yeah that's how WMP does it as well (minus the truncation)
