I know enough about Karaoke Revolution and Guitar Hero to throw in a little on the games, though I'd definitely like the focus to be Frequency and Amplitude, especially since everyone and their mother knows about GH.
I'll give them a mention at very least, since they still share the Freezepop love.
I can't help but wonder if they somehow threw a Freezepop track into that Eyetoy game they developed. The airboard one.

I would like to take my own screenshots for newer consoles that can't be emulated. Getting the S-video cables is easy enough. The problem is that the way everything is set up in my house, it is difficult to run the cable from the console to my computer. Is there anyway to get S-video in to a laptop?

There's no way to capture S-video directly into a laptop unless it comes with a built-in capture card or you buy an external one that connects via USB short of you having mad directX programming skillz to trick your video card into emulating a video capture device.

I'm finishing up my Frequency article now.
Is it accessible to provide links to images instead of including them in an e-mail? Most of what I need is already at Harmonix's official website for Frequency.
However, I can't find any pictures of the artist biographies, and they're likely all I'm missing.
I do have a digital camera, but I don't think it's capable of pictures up to the site's quality standards.
It will be a two-parter of Frequency and Amplitude, but images from the latter seem to be much easier to come by.
Also, for MP3s, is it permissible to link to artists' websites who provide their work to be downloaded for free, like Symbion Project's?

As long as they're a decent size/quality (320x240 at minimum) then that should be fine. You can just send me the links or the pages. For MP3s, you can send to the link to whatever page, and I'll put them up for download on Fileplanet.

I was thinking, would it be okay for some of us to use captions for screenshots? Not every screenshot, of course, but just have a few inlayed into the article between paragraphs. Would that be too complicated?

Yeah that'd be fine. It can be either included in the body beneath the picture or set aside from the main text (I don't think it'd fit in the side column, but I guessi t's possible.)

Heck, the Vagrant Story article had captions under the pic and a different one when you hovered the mouse over them.
I plan on having some for my article, too.

This may be a little off topic but, for whomever did the Rolling Thunder article, there is something I would add. The game is called Super Ranger. It came out in 1988 and I played it around that time. I plays almost exactly like Rolling Thunder but the characters look completely different and there's a familiar classical tune in the bgm but I don't know the name of it... www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9934

I have noticed that your write ups on doujin games have (at least generally) been pretty breif compared to most of what is written for this site. Is it ok to send in shorter pieces for non-doujin releases if it is appropriate for the specific game?

Post by Discoalucard on Jan 1, 2008 18:07:22 GMT -5
Yup, No specific length is needed.

Two questions:
Would it be ok to write a synopsis of a hardware peripheral?
and
Is it ok to write about a game that was never released, but exists in playable form today as a rom and/or bootleg?

Wow, my first post. I plan to do an article for Quantic Dream's "Omikron: The Nomad Soul", but I have a slight problem: I have no access to the Dreamcast port. Would research on the subject suffice? Also, the game as an army of playable characters, but only one has a speaking role, and the rest are really just skins with bios attatched to them. I'm debating how I should narrow them down: should I include the first and last characters, since they're the only ones tied to the story? Or should I include all the ones that are nececerry to complete the game? Either way, there's I should probably include this one character you can get a third of the way through the game, since he looks kinda cool and was deemed important enough by the developers to an official render on the now defunct main website. I also appologize if this should've gone on the Reserved Article Thread, but with the more recent posts, it was a bit hard to tell.
