I love it so much I made a video of me blowing up wave after wave of ships.

I also made the top 5000 in global rank and in the top 1000 for songs 4 to 5 minutes after playing this song.
BOOM!!!

And it is an epic failure - on purpose, sort of. It's a fail montage of a sorts. It's the best of the worst, and just barely good enough by my standards to have even have been considered for upload. Enjoy it for what it's worth.

If you like this song, please click the link, vote 5, and download it. Both artists and their music are incredible.

This video is not exactly a visualization like the others I have made; in fact, it really isn't. This video contains nearly everything that can go wrong with making these kinds of videos. Missed timings, something happening slightly early or late, wall smacks, car nudges and crashes, failed recoveries, bad jumps, drifts gone wrong, and generally "desyncing the action from the song," all of which is why this video is bad, in my opinion. But, it is the best of worst, which is why I a The only things it's got going for it at all are the crazy jumps and the little bit of camera work I was able to fit. Please do realize that this video and the others like it is technically raw game footage; I have to press the video record buttons, press the music play button, switch to controller, work the camera (if not already set up with the time of day setting), and drive the car while also possibly working the camera stick while driving. All having to be done synced to the music in as harmonious fashion as possible LIVE and in REAL-TIME. And the computer lags...

So I'm playing Audiosurf and I'm playing Ironmode Pro Eraser on Waterflame's Outrun. Then I notice that somehow my mind managed to wander into semi-deep thought, mostly about a forum topic. How on Earth did I manage to make it to the end of the song? I have no idea really, but apparently, there is more room in my head for other thoughts now that I don't think about thinking.

Oh and the final score would have made 5th on the leaderboard, but I already have 3rd.

ENERGY!!! FOR GAMING!!! GAMERGY!!! It'll make your reflexes so sharp that your video card will tell you to SLOOOOOOOOW DOOOWWWN, but you'll be like FU and replace it with an UPGRAAADE. It'll give you frames. SO many frames. MORE FRAMES THAN YOUR MIND HAS ROOM FOOOOOR!!!

In related news, here is something I prepared earlier:

When I first heard about shutdown, I was like "Whoa! That just happened?" I never did really use the site except when someone would paste a link to some tool or other thing they made into a forum. Now, I must admit I did download a few unmentionables from it, but that was ages ago and I've since come clean and bought legit copies and then some (the sequels). But I never uploaded to it, and most legit stuff I got was what I would call "unique items" that people had uploaded, typically stuff like "that killer app that does just what you need that you know you'll never find again." All those files...gone. And their creators are likely out of touch and may have even forgotten about, meaning the files could be lost forever. This saddens me in a way. To me, anytime a website goes down, it feels like watching a library go up in flames; the potential loss of information of any kind hurts me. That's why I don't delete anything off my computer unless it's an emergency.

But considering the kind of files and the sheer number that I would see linked to megaupload, it looked like a system gone either way too lax in content control or just plain corrupt. I think they knew they had illegal stuff on their site, and they let it slide for far too long. I know that if I were running a file-hosting site, I would do random checks on suspicious looking files to check for infringement. I'd assume that they might have down that occasionally. Now, I know that sharing of files for creative collaboration happens all the time and that's a primary use of the internet, and you can't judge intentions from just a filename or its contents. I think that this is one of the main problems that a SOPA-like act would have to address, and personally it just wouldn't work. The problem is people, not the internet. If you give people power (internet), it is a certainty that some of them will be corrupted into misusing it (hey I've got a game/song/movie/program/etc! let me share it with you!), and those people may, intentionally or not, taint others (yeah! sure! I'm a taker. Post the link!). Now that, more or less, is how I think piracy works on the internet, not counting the DEFINITELY ILLEGAL cracking of software and DRM. All of the games I had ever pirated I have since purchased, and I still have the pirate copies. Heck with one of them, I still use the cracked copy, but I own it on Steam, which is really the important thing. My guilty conscious got me to eventually buy the game, but I didn't feel like actually downloading it. But now everything feels right.

Maybe we've lost some of our values with the expansion of the internet?
(And yes, I just did pull a Kobayashi Maru... This issue is rife with morality conflict, which is something that is very hard to mediate. I think that not even Spock or Yoda could decisively solve this problem. Too gray, this matter is.)

I made some modifications to my mouse and now it kind of works like an airbrush while still being usable for gaming. I put it to the test and made a simple moving triangle 2 second flash. It was way easier than if I had not made modifications and took no less than half the time it normally would have taken. It actually felt like it took longer to advance the timeline than it did to draw due to lack of keyboard shortcuts.

Why?
Because I wanted to, and I didn't have to spend anything except time to make something better.
(And so many people must be rolling their eyes right now...)

Well, I wanted a tablet, and I wanted it now, so...
