I'm with Pepper on this.  Sucks to be voted out two on day one, two games in a row.  Poor little guy.

This is my first game, so I'm still kind of feeling out the crowd, but I think I've got my day two vote.

Well, I don't know any of you guys yet, so I'm gonna sit back and watch for awhile.

But I'm suspicious.  VERY suspicious.  Of *YOU* in particular.

I wonder how soon I should start calling.  I think I'll wait until the week of launch, that way I'm more likely to talk to an employee who knows what the hell a Wii is.

I liked his first album, but his new material is derivative.

Well, I'm planning on getting my Wii at Wal-Mart.  I have a concert I need to go to at 6.  I'm hoping the band I am going to see will open so that I can get to Wal-Mart by no later than 7:30.  

Someone posted somewhere (maybe you can confirm or deny this, UncleBob) that they're going to start handing out numbered tickets at 10 PM, and only those with tickets will get at Wii.

The employee at the local Gamestop told me that you would have had to get to the store at 6 AM the day they did pre-orders in order to get in line to get one.  

If I can't get to Wal-Mart in time, I'll just go camp out at Target early the next morning.

Quick question - it says at the beginning that we will be playing over the weekend.  Later in the rules, it says that you don't need to vote on the weekends.  

So which is it?  If it's a weekend game, I might have to back out.  I'll be gone on weekends most of November.

I'm new to these boards, but I've been watching these game-threads for awhile now.  My friend Decoyman pointed them out to me.  Mind if I join in as Bill Grey?

Well, if you put Wii in the new name, then you'll just be changing it again in 5 years.

I've been fearing this all along.  I'm going to pre-order this game, and I'm torn between which version I want to pre-order.  I've been looking forward to this Zelda game for ages.  I have also been looking forward to Wii for ages, but I really don't want the experience of playing games with this new controller to overshadow the experience of digging into this new game.  

Wii developers (Nintendo included) really need to stick to games that were built from the ground up to work with the Wii controller.  This reminds me of when the DS launched with Mario 64.  Mario 64 was not easy to control with the touch screen like Nintendo seemed to believe.  Fast forward 18 months, and the DS has loads of games that are great, because they were built from scratch with the DS in mind.

As of right now, I'm leaning toward the Gamecube version.

Has anyone heard if there will be any additional polish in the graphics on the Wii version?

I've never "played" Electrplankton, but unless you can isolate the sound from each individual plankton (and record each one to a new track), I don't see how you'll be able to multi-track the audio output and then mixdown the session to your own tastes.


That's precisely what you can do.  Each plankton is essentially a minigame that produces a different type of sound.  Record the different sounds on different tracks, and mix them together.  The fatal flaw of Electroplankton is the fact that there is no way (in-game) to combine the sounds of more than one kind of plankton.

Also, I wouldn't consider GarageBand to be an audio editor (it's a basic MIDI sequencer). Sure you can do some basic editing with the software, but you'd be much better off using Peak or DSP-Quattro for your MacOS-X audio-editing needs.  


I'll look into those.  But I disagree about Garageband.  Garageband allows you to have several tracks as "instruments" such that if you were a generic rock band, you'd have one track for guitar, one for bass, one for drums, and one for vocals.  Sure, you can use the built-in midi if you like, but you can also use externally mic'ed instruments, which Electroplankton would qualify as.  If you consider each type of plankton to be a different instrument, then you record several tracks, and mix and match as you see fit.

Well, sure I could just open up a blank track and record, but the whole reason to use an editor like Garageband is to record the different plankton on different tracks, and then mix them appropriately.

Well, I'm going for free software here.

I think you misunderstand about Garageband... it's not a hosting service, it's a program on Mac computers.  A very robust sound editing software.

Is there anywhere to get that Spin Doctor software online?  Garageband came with my mac, and Audacity is a free software, that's why I've looked at those two specifically.

Nintendo Gaming / Electroplankton recording
« on: March 14, 2006, 02:11:11 AM »
Since Electroplankton doesn't have a record feature, I've decided to take it upon myself to plug my DS into my iBook and do some recording.  

I'm just curious how many people have done this, and what software and techniques they found worked best?  I tried it the other night with Garageband, and had some issues (mainly because I had never used Garageband before).  I wonder if something like Audacity would work a little better.

Thoughts?  Concerns?
