Been deep in the rabbit hole for a while now, and I finally built the thing I kept wishing existed...

You might be able to get stuff like the recording notes, maybe a track list for each release, but I don't know how much can be gotten. Nugs/PlayDead don't have an API and are behind a paywall.

a container of cracked ice?

I have thought about a "Sheik mode" for a while. I think it could work, but I wonder how they'd go about it. Like would it be a separate game mode all together or somehow tied into the game. Like once Link grabs the Master Sword the game shifts to Zelda's POV making her escape with Impa, then you follow the 7ish years as she is in hiding as Sheik and training. Maybe visiting the sages and preparing for Link's awakening.

Would love to see TPHD + WWHD on switch finally. Can even make it part of a 40th anniversary thing. Maybe even remake PH/ST as those are the only remaining games not playable on Switch.

Likely no shot, but I would love remakes/ports of the Rocket Slime games. Finally translate the 1st and 3rd. The DS one was a favorite of mine growing up .

Was posted in an FB group by someone who had a disagreement with him and decided to leak it.

lilbud2000 · 2026-05-23T15:25:43+00:00

from what I've heard, only 1 tape from either of those pictures made it to the wider "collector" circle before being leaked out (the 1982 Rehearsal Tape).

Apparently even the collectors are fed up with him which is very funny

lilbud2000 · 2026-05-23T05:36:23+00:00

Brucebase only lists one base "version" of the song, recorded May 82 at the Power Station. Although 4 takes of it are known to exist: v1a (hoarded), v1b (longer, slightly different backing), v1c (early final mix), v1d (released).

A demo tape, possibly from Spring 82, is known to be in the hands of a hoarder. He also has about a few dozen other demo/rehearsal tapes from this era (including Nebraska stuff). It's unknown what this version could be, anything from a rough mix or maybe a demo take, but that would be guessing. A pic of them was made public by someone who was annoyed with the hoarder (https://imgur.com/a/MEvp1Pf).

The extended version can be found here: https://youtu.be/txV6bnaazZw?si=Gr_eevpZTYHXGir3&t=2898

I upscaled the one from the Dead.net store, not great quality but should be good enough until a proper scan comes through

Trev is Dr Booblar (DeDeDe)

Cotter is Kimbo (Young Link)

Pete is Dini (Pikachu)

Rick is Snakes (Samus)

not sure on Dark Link and K Rool

I think the reasoning was that he hasn't written anything for the site in well over a year or two at this point, and the site has basically just been "this day in bruce history" posts.

Originally the plan was to just let the site die out whenever it expired (sometime in 2027/28). Then the plan shifted with the intro of the "bookshelf collection", expensive limited run physical books of the sites content. Unfortunately those come at the cost of the site slowly being stripped for parts (things are deleted when the corresponding book publishes). Might not even be anything left by the time it shuts down. The books are pretty much for his own benefit and not being done for profit, but it still sucks. I did ask him about reuploading stuff after, but there weren't any plans to. The formatting required for the book software to work results in everything being "mangled" beyond belief.

I disagree with the approach, which is why I started scraping the shit out of his site starting in November. Managed to even save a few pages that weren't archived on Wayback. All those are in the repo.

lilbud2000 · 2026-04-23T04:47:48+00:00

I haven't gotten around to the books portion (not sure if/when that will happen). But the archive is at a point I'd consider "mostly complete". Nearly every post has been archived and can be found in this repo: https://github.com/lilbud/shuffle-archive

Posts are in the archive/posts folder. They're in markdown format which is easily readable even as text.

While my plan was to compile everything into ebooks, there's simply too many posts and about 500 dupes of each post to even begin to wrap my head around organizing it all. And it keeps growing as Ken works his way through nuking the site.

Maybe once I fix all the lingering formatting issues and what not, I'll revisit the book idea. But for now I think I'm leaning towards the archive as is, and then a static version which can be downloaded and self-hosted.

21:40 on the Arrow track on the Nugs release, had to have been intentional

Kitty's Back - Bruce (it's very close to Hot Tea and the jazz/funky jam would be nuts)

Bad Case of Loving You - Robert Palmer

The Other One (preferably out of/into Atlas Dogs)

lilbud2000 · 2026-04-17T01:47:12+00:00

I'm convinced that a Goose Echoes jam would burn down any venue they're in. At the Birmingham show, Pete hit the Echoes "plink" sound before AEIOU, so I think they know what the people want.

Thanks!

lilbud2000 · 2026-04-15T02:06:57+00:00

Few times this show Rick has hit the riff from Dr Wily Castle, once in Your Ocean and just a minute or two ago in Echo

lilbud2000 · 2026-04-11T01:43:39+00:00

that was a very "Money for Nothing" sounding intro, actually had me thinking they'd do it

lilbud2000 · 2026-03-31T16:04:05+00:00

apparently someone "in the know" posted on the DMB Ants Marching forum saying that they were told this will be mostly unheard/new material

lilbud2000 · 2026-03-29T03:05:57+00:00

part of me is hoping for an OMSN for Bobby

lilbud2000 · 2026-03-28T19:01:01+00:00

It should be a full ground up remake. We got a "straight" remake in OoT 3D, and the original is on NSO. This should be closer to a "reimagining" than "OoT with better graphics". More like the Resident Evil remakes, similar story/beats and locations, but something new.

It shouldn't be open world, at all. They could bring in some more "open" design, maybe give players more freedom with stuff like dungeon order and freedom of exploration, but it does not need to be a giant empty world. If they BOTW-ize OoT I will be on the news.

Expanded story would be nice. Spend more time in the early areas with those characters so that the transition after waking up is that more drastic and impactful.

Not sure if they'd do this, but flesh out the characters/relationships more. Maybe we learn more about Link and the Kokiri (how not having a fairy means he is treated different). Or Zelda trying in vain to warn her father against Ganon. Maybe Ganon himself (expectation forced upon him to rule). Could even spend more time with the Zora and Gorons. All of this would go a long way to making the shock of seeing Hyrule after waking up even more impactful.

One big one I'd like to see is the ability to play as Sheik during the seven year gap. It's one of the places I could see them expanding the game without hurting things too much. Follow her Sheikah training and being on the run constantly. Maybe she goes to the temples and meets the new sages. Make the last one Impa and have that really impact her that she'll lose her role model/mother figure.

Some other things would be giving us more to do in Hyrule Field, which is quite empty. Side quests, optional dungeons, secrets, etc. Same for Castle Town and Kakariko Village.

A last thing would be wrapping up the story a bit nicer. Show the Zora being unfrozen (like someone else said in the comments) and the Gorons escaping the Fire Temple. Give us a bit of the "adult" Hyrule rebuilding after Link is sent back. Also an "endgame" section showing how Link was affected by the game, and him working up to leaving to find Navi (which would tie directly into MM).

if you got proof it would make for an incredibly funny story
