I'v...Same here dude I love music, all types ... I've had to upgrade ipods NUMEROUS times because I keep running out of memory space.<br /><br />Well, yeah a home theater system can get expensive for sure ... but Best Buy employee I get a KILLER discount. My receiver retails around $600-$700 and I was able to get it for $250...holla. Same with the rest (well Bose set I inherited) but the sub costs ~$500 I got it for $200 ... sweet place to work. <br /><br />I own a guitar, can't really play it hah, can play some Nirvana but thats about it. But... I am a fledgling drummer been learning drums for past couple years. Sadly due to the micro size of my house I don't own a set yet, thank god for having 3 friends who are drummers in garage bands hah.<br /><br />I'm in school now for computer science at GSU (4yr university in Atlanta) and I dream of making video games hah be so sweet, especially RPGs. After my leave from military when I went back to school I found I have a talent for writing. Would love to write a story for one, actually have notebooks of thoughts and notes on several worlds/characters I made up during my time in military. I've always been the creative type, especially art, I love drawing (I'm a daydreamer hah). So it would be great to lay it all down and create a game with it ... <br /><br />It's a shame I don't really like programming, well haven't done anything "fun" yet, its been all take user's input - compute Fibonacci Sequence - spit out final answer ...blah. Finally hitting my final year and hopefully get more freedom on my projects. One cool thing is I'm taking course this semester and we are learning the language for the iphones (coco?? forget what its called).Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361114118919812028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-45523885162321518122010-01-06T10:36:36.609-08:002010-01-06T10:36:36.609-08:00Yeah man...

I set up 5.1 because while I love music, I don't need to blow 2k on it >_< and in all honesty, the 5.1 is perfect for my apt.<br /><br />FF3 is probably my all-time favorite... but FF9 is still gaining on it because the music and graphics are just so stellar for the time, and that (along with the story-lines) is what really captivates me.<br /><br />If you listen to that opening scene of FF9 I linked, there is a TON of subtlety to it. The highs and the lows almost tell a story. However, the aspect that makes it amazing to me is the fact that someone LOVED that piece when they wrote it. You can always tell who LOVES the music they write versus those who just do it for the sake of getting it done... going through the motions, if you will.<br /><br />As my latest post implies, I'm working on a framework for writing role-playing games, and my end-goal is to actually make a game eventually from start-to-finish. This is going to take a couple years (I'm guessing), but I really want to get it right from the ground up so I can do everything that I want to... including the music (I play piano, a little guitar, and I'm a mean whistler... Guntir plays the guitar ridiculously well, and he also plays the piano... together we can come up with some mean tracks for a game).Reygahncihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149576720317778717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455942546841541788.post-14118070948748182332010-01-06T10:30:38.125-08:002010-01-06T10:30:38.125-08:00Awesome! I'm all about home theater... I'...Awesome! I'm all about home theater... I'm actually a electronics tech and work for Best Buy (not in the store, stand alone service center and we service the entire east coast as far west as kentucky) and I repair alot of home theater equipment (receivers, speakers, car audio, dvd/blu-ray players, etc...) so if you have any questions let me know I know alot about the latest and greatest also I'm a self proclaimed audiophile.<br /><br />Y'allshould see my "Man Cave" as my wife calls it -- Yamaha 7.1 receiver, one center, 4 satellite, and 2 bookshelf speakers all made by Bose, Klipsch 12" sub (blows up the house!), all at the heart of it my PS3 (AWESOME, AWESOME, center for any home theater --amazing the things that black box can pull!!)<br /><br />People love Blu-Ray so much for the picture quality, but I'm telling you it doesn't compare to the high res. loss-less audio ...WOW. I have NIN Ghosts on Blu-Ray and some tracks has the glass rattling in all the windows in the house.<br /><br />FF3 (SNES) best ever fo sho! That is, next to Super Metroid ha!, one of my favorite games of all time. Much like y'all I was chasing skirt in high school when FF7 came out so it didn't completely blow my mind either, but none the less still a great game!Tradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361114118919812028noreply@blogger.com
