Sad but true.
Game-making doesn't really have much in the ways of awards, does it? Maybe if it was considered an art?

You notice the music because it's there to entertain you rather that fit in well with the entire experience. You don't notice it within a movie because the music takes no relevance over anything, it's there to enhance the scene that's happening at the moment.What are you talking about? I don't notice the music especially much while I'm playing, it's exactly the same as with movies. There's more of a chance to get used to individual tracks, but it's still only afterwards while listening to the music on youtube or whatever that I really hear them as themselves. Unless they're downright jarring and unfitting for the scene, but I already said that doesn't happen much in my experience.
What kind of games are you thinking of that have this effect?

Don't we get tons upon tons of shitty midi in games too?Sure. I didn't mean to imply that videogames were blameless, just that acting like movies are clearly better at it is stupid.

A game's OST is usually thought of to be less important than gameplay, graphics and the like when it comes to the team developing the game, leaving the soundtrack dude to fend off for himself in a ton of stuff, while in movies, the soundtrack is usually supervised heavily so it fits well in each and every single game scene.Don't know enough about game development vs cinematography to say for myself, so are you sure games don't receive similar supervision? It's really rare to get music that doesn't fit in my experience.

Same with a ton of other games, in which you only pay more attention to its soundtrack, because you're doing repetitive tasks and not watching a narrative unfold, so you pay more attention to the sound that way. It's why there are so many game nerds who worship gaming soundtracks, while most movie buffs simply recognize it as a part of a necessary equation, to be used in accordance to the way the movie flows.Gotta admit, hearing the same tracks several times in the background is definitely what makes many of them grow on you. But that doesn't make them worse, which is what I had beef with.

I suppose I just associate the phrase "movie music" with the totally unmemorable violin&piano pieces that seem to be a requirement for scenes that would've been fine on their own, rather than stuff out of movies that are actually good. Which is kind of like comparing high profile games with random [parasitic bomb] grabbed off a shelf, so maybe not totally fair...
But I do have a problem with the phrase "it's like movie quality orchestration", because that sounds awfully like saying that orchestrated music is inherently superior in immersiveness or memorableness.

Watch as it turns out to be "will they won't they" for the entirety of the game until the very end when they go to kiss... except they get interrupted, and everyone just laughs, closing credits. Oh man, that would be hilarious, I'd want to record the reactions of every shipper as their blood boils~
I've listened to the romance trailer song a good 10 times now, and I can't get over how much I love the quality of it. It's downright movie quality orchestration, and I cannot wait to hear more from this game.But movies have terrible generic crap music... or were you thinking of the once a decade exceptions like Pirates of the Caribbean?

Hm...
I was just thinking, compared to what supervillains do every other year or so, wouldn't 9/11 have been... ordinary? Was there a comic where a character (or better yet, done with multiple perspectives) reflected on that, and how war and peace went on even with metahumans around? How, though individuals may be weak, people still managed to reach this point - war and suffering included.
In an universe where such is applicable, it could also look at how humanity had progressed even before metahumans became relatively common.
Or would this be boring and trite?

There is a theoretically sound concept for such a device on wikipedia.
The problem is just how to do it, and the fact that once you start it you can't stop...

Rockman Series / Re: A serious Megaman Anime Production. Would you like it?
« on: September 29, 2011, 11:20:54 AM »
7 seasons to experience something it took 4 games at maybe 8 hours each, and 90% of that was gameplay that wouldn't really translate well to a show.
I'd say 4 seasons at most, the first half of each can also tell what happened in the intervening time (the first game would give background info for the setting).
EDIT: Of course, this depends on how many and how long episodes each season would have. I was thinking it would be 8x30m, but you might have had much shorter seasons in mind?

Puzzling results from Cern, home of the LHC, have confounded physicists - because it appears subatomic particles have exceeded the speed of light.
The result - which threatens to upend a century of physics - will be put online for scrutiny by other scientists.
"We tried to find all possible explanations for this," said report author Antonio Ereditato of the Opera collaboration.
"We wanted to find a mistake - trivial mistakes, more complicated mistakes, or nasty effects - and we didn't," he told BBC News.
"When you don't find anything, then you say 'Well, now I'm forced to go out and ask the community to scrutinise this.'"

Loved the first one for its story, so much that I got the books.
Sadly, can't really play the second one with my current computer, so am stuck somewhere in chapter 2.
