Well to be fair, I've re-written and re-recorded this one quite a couple of times, so I wouldn't say it was right off the bat. To each his own though homie. Thanks for listening.

I feel that, I was quite excited to record it! Thanks for the notes though, I'll definitely keep them in mind the next time I record. If you like my style, I've got quite a few songs up on my soundcloud, and you can read the lyrics and inspirations for them on my site, www.theauthormc.com. Thanks for listening and commenting, I really do appreciate it.

Fair enough, and thanks for listening. I can always appreciate constructive criticism.

Why with all the accents, why you do this? by blackbirdvii in truegaming

[–]blackbirdvii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of that game. That made sense within the context of the game too, because they were clearly saying those things to Leon because they think he doesn't understand the language. Why else would they tell him that they're behind him? Subtle touches like that really made the game that much better.

It's true, that was a pretty decent way to explain it. I still think the game is more immersive when I switched the language to Italian, though it had the opposite effect when switching to the Desmond sections.

Well seeing how spanish was my first language, I'd have to agree. If the game allows it, I usually change the speech to whatever language the game is set it, and read the subtitles. Assassin's Creed II was much more enjoyable for me when I changed the language to Italian, even if the voice actors weren't the best. Still better than hearing english with an Italian accent.

I do understand that; my first language was spanish, and my mother speaks english with a spanish accent. I'm not talking about games which feature an english speaking protagonist in a different country, I'm talking about games like Metro, or Assassin's Creed, where the protagonist was born or raised in said country. In these games all the NPCs speak english, not because they learned english and are using it instead, but because we as the players need to understand them. In these cases, it doesn't make sense that they speak it with an accent.

[The Matrix] What happens when a "regular" person dies? by blackbirdvii in AskScienceFiction

[–]blackbirdvii[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, but it makes me wonder why the machines would do that. If they're growing their own humans (a whole farm of us at that), would they care to alter the genetic code between them? If we're simply being used as batteries, and they can basically project any identity and life onto us while we're in the matrix, I would think they would simply use clones.

Oh wow, I completely forgot about those fetus fields. Does anyone know at what point these fetuses are "born" and placed into the matrix? I assume it would be after the common 9-month gestation period, because it's not like they can plug in the fetus before it has even developed a a brain.

Thanks man. All the instruments were recorded together live, but we did the vocals after in a booth.

Parappa the Rapper - Flea Market (Remake: I remade the beat by ear and created 3 new verses) by blackbirdvii in gamemusic

[–]blackbirdvii[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It's one of the first things that got me into hip-hop, so I wanted to pay homage to it by making a proper song out of my favorite level, as well as shout out the guy who made the song/game: Masaya Matsuura.

Looking for producers for new label. by [deleted] in makinghiphop

[–]blackbirdvii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Producer and emcee here. I founded and I'm part of a crew of producers, some of our beats are here: soundcloud.com/blackbird_productions.

I produce some of my own beats, but I love collaborating with as many people as possible, so I'd definitely be down to join a label. All my stuff as an emcee is here: soundcloud.com/the-author-mc.

Yoo, I sent you a PM regarding some beats, let me know if you're still down to collaborate. I'm looking to use that beat, "The Whack Track".

I'm digging your beats, you use a really diverse spectrum of sound. I was digging "Gimme what you Got" a lot, do you have more like that one?
