1996 Media Favs

I tried to get into Clonewars. I saw the movie and liked it a bit, but I've never stuck with the TV show for long. I think the main characters are pretty uninteresting and most of the stories are pretty derivative of SW staries already told.

San Fran sounds interesting. I've never really been to the west except once on a family trip to the Grand Canyon in the 80s. Something to put on my bucket list to do.

I remember at the time a lot of people were talking about it, and to this day still, but I think I wasn't playing much in the way of rpgs ro jrpgs at the time. Mark and I were playing shooters, and if it wasn't for that situation, I might have played more rpgs, because I love that genre.

I don't remember exactly when I had any of those consoles. Maybe I had a PS in '97 and a N64, but maybe I got them a few years later when they were used and cheaper, which is probably the case because I never bought a console new until Xbox 360 in 2006.

So these are all the NES versions and not the arcade ones? Interesting. I'm waiting for a sale to scarf them both up. Too bad there isn't a physical release. I was contemplating going to Gamestop, whenever they truely open again, and getting them that way.

Silly is fun, and I'm often that way too.

I really like the N64. I had the 32X expansion module and everything. I just didn't play a lot of Mario games at the time. But I get your point. It was short lived and had a limited library compared to other systems.

I played a bunch of games on it though: Hexen, Destruction Derby 64, Turok, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Clayfighter 63 1/3, Diddy Kong Racing, Quake, Duke Nukem and Pokemon Snap.

It's always the issue with music because there are only so many notes and possible harmonies within the system used for popular music. No one's going to write a pop song using a 12 tone harmonic structure like some composers have done; you've only got the octave and major and minor keys; songs are bound to sound alike. 

Copyright law for music must be a nightmare. It might be more clear for sampling, but it's in the nature of music to interate and build on another's ideas. It goes against the creative process but people want to get paid. I often remember an interview with Nile Rogers saying how he was flattered that Sugar Hill Gang used a riff from Chic's Good Times, but he had to sue because they also used the strings he had recorded, and it cost him a lot of money to record that with real string players.

I want to, but Mark got me into Farm Together. Now I'm a slave to it. I will return to it. I really want to play through all of it.

I'll leave a lot of turkeys on the floor so she'll be too distracted to fight me.
