[ UPD: Escape Beta 3 ]
In response to all the comments above about level rating, I must speak up regarding this, as I have received a style rating of 0 and a difficulty rating of 3 on "Just Enough," a mod of an existing level that had a style rating of 8 and a difficulty rating of 7. I honestly can't understand what the queso is so wrong with the level that would warrant such abysmal ratings.
Thoughts, anyone? |

Well, I think I was one of the first to use computers to make levels, so obviously I'm in support of it... I think what ultimately matters is that the level that comes out is good, not that it's made by computer or human. It would be really easy to churn out thousands of moderately difficult computer-generated levels, but they would all basically be the same and not very fun. But it's also possible to churn out loads of easy and/or annoying human-made levels, as we can witness in the Minor Leagues. ;) So for me, the computer is just one of many tools that can be used to author good levels, and like any tool used for authorship, must be used tastefully. I like the convention of noting when a computer was used to make the level, in the interests of accurate credit.
What is the nature of your "battle"? You seem to like at least some of the computer-assisted levels... |
| |
Thanks P! I guess I never know which ones people will like... IMO the punching in and out (a consequence of the badly structured guitar) is kind of annoying on that one. |

I've totally fallen in love with You Were Injured. I love how I always learn new words from your AADs, like sobriquet (from #20) and now clarion. Keep up the great work! |

I'd love to know more about computer assisted levels and your attitude towards the battle "kirima" versus "computer assisted" levels....
?
I'm just Kirima, and I'm certainly not computer-assisted |
| |
Mine's okay, just quiet! I helped Mike get his back up and running, but there might be something wrong with the computer, we're not sure... and he's in San Francisco! |

Is your server out too? Can't you help your room mate? |

Cool, thanks! I've seen some of my stuff on Tshirt Hell before, so it seems they downloaded my whole collection at some point... |
| |
Wow, thanks Spinlock!
I also wrote a second novel that I think is better than the first. You can find it at tom7.org/novel2/. I mostly do Album-a-Day stuff, but since I've been so slow doing that maybe I can get more into songfight, we'll see... |
| |
Hah. Read a novel as a result of a songfight. Wasn't expecting that. Also wasn't expecting it to be good. Surprised. Reminds me of a more energetic Adams. . . Love the time travelling lawyer.
Also, do more songfights.
Cheers.

Random dbz font spotting:
Looks like Tshirt Hell had that used Two Turtle Doves (with some minor changes like different O's). It was a limited edition, but you can see the design on the wayback machine (NSFW profanity):

Since my company is too cheap to get unimportant code monkeys like me headsets, but we are required to attend pointless meetings anyway, I also frequently construct a hands-free from a rubberband.

Ah, this is exactly the sort of thing I come to spacebar.org for.
Incidentally, if I'm reading your space time display properly, you appear to have switched onto Daylight Savings (Space) Time prematurely. But without observing the blink pattern, it's hard to be sure. |

J8: Sorry, saturday I was X-C skiing! But a good guess. You can verify your hypotheses and track my every move by visiting tom7.motionbased.com. |

I was coming home from the giant Eagle Saturday, and I saw this person fly by on Ellsworth -- I thought, "wow, that guy looks fast!" When I turned on to Ellsworth and eventually caught up to the guy, I think it was you! I wasn't sure b/c I could only see him/you from behind. But if you are now able to warp space, it totally makes sense how you were so fast! |
| |
In the physical universe, the segments are also weirdly blinking and incrementing, as is proper for space time. |
| |
I would go down to the basement forthwith to convert my watch using the washer/dryer space time transmogrifier, but, alas, my watch ran out of batteries. And then my other watch ran out of batteries. It's been months, actually, and I still haven't gotten around to addressing the situation. For now, I remain timeless. And space timeless. |
| |
That picture causes me pain. I can't see the "image" in the watch properly, so I keep trying to fix it by getting a view from a different angle (like I would with any lcd in the physical universe).
It never works. |

dig those drums, man |

Man, that is one classy keyboard. |

T: Well, give me a short list and I'll look for 'em... maybe the guitar wav tracks on their own would be good enough for remixing, but there's usually effects involved and sometimes multiple synchronized tracks, even without singing. So it's probably best if I can open them and export a mixed karaoke version.
G: Nope, I've just been slacking! But I'll try to get to it this weekend... |
