[quote=Scott01;17478793]ok so please note, the search function does not work.

I am looking for a computer program that acts as a drum machine. I know that you can make midi file drum loops etc blah blah. I don't have the time or drum knowledge tohave to write them. I just want to practice playing with a drummer.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good drum machine program for windows??[/quote]

Fruity Loops.

You create your own, but it's ridiculously easy to create your own.

Other than that, your best bet is to go to google and type in "online drum beats"

Yeah, I do like my PS3. Got some great games but I still enjoy my PS2 just as much.

He would go to use the bathroom, and you would hear the water running, like he was running a bath. Then it would stop, the lights would go out, he would start talking to himself, then the maniacal laughter would commence, and he would stay in there for like an hour and a half.[/quote]

This sounds like the making of an awesome reality show.

I sold mine, and I regret it because I didn't get a PS3 that was backwards compatible! MGS3 is just sitting there, wanting to be played.

Yeah man, the most disappointing thing about my PS3 is that it isn't backwards compatible :(.

Or the fact that it isn't made by Microsoft.

Nah I'm glad about that, Microsoft make piss poor consoles, they've got no game soul.

The season would come to an end when my body was discovered mutilated with all of my orifices stuffed full of frozen fries and microwave chicken nuggets.

Microsoft is pretty average, they have a conglomerate more or less and simply capitalise on mediocre products because of their name and the weight that it carries. Apple does more or less the same thing, they just sell "ergonomics" and "style" instead of "reliability" and "experience". It's all marketing at the end of the day and they play off each other, the PC vs. Mac debate is a classic example of gross consumerism.

Sony may be more expensive but at the end of the day they make the best/most powerful ****. The Bravia LCD line, BluRay discs, PS as opposed to Xbox, etc.

You told me you wouldn't tell..

I'm interested in that super thin LED TV they've been hawking on the ads with the hummingbird. Looks proper.

LED is the way of the future so long as the green bandwagon still dominates global marketing.

I wouldn't turn one down if someone offered me one.

Hell, I'll plant a tree and water it every day in exchange for one.

Raayl, I know you hate Tool, but if you haven't given Puscifer's [I]V is for omnibus[/I] a listen, you should do so. It's very electronic/industrial and I think you'd like it. If you don't like it, sorry I suggested it.

I [B]may[/B] or may not be able to YSI if you're interested. Same goes for anybody that is interested.

Yeah me to. But the fact is that the green market is just that, a market; all this eco-friendly **** was here all along but it was only two years ago everyone stopped shitting because they were worried about their "carbon footprint". The brutal irony of 'turn your lights off, it saves electricity' is that while is may decrease YOUR power output the rest of the excess power is still going to go somewhere; usually pumping water up hills at night to vent the excess. You can't just "turn off" a nuclear or coal ****ing reactor. Only after a long period of national cooperation will power pollution outputs decrease. That and the fact that Australia account for "**** all" of the world carbon output. And furthermore carbon is necessary for LIFE, it just goes back into the atmosp-

continue ad nauseam.

I have to stop.

It's the same as the low carb beer market and the ipod market, they're just markets; but they're not markets that are being exploited anymore - they're markets that are being [B]created[/B]. And that's the truly scary part.

It's no longer "drink this beer if you're health conscious!" (bullshit anyway, but that's another story) it's "you need to drink this beer or you're unhealthy". i.e. forcing a market opening.

And that's what I dislike about modern society and the mass popular media, the manufactured need for the manufactured product.

Yeah, personally I just want a TV with a **** hot picture.

Can't hate a market for being a market, unless we're all going to live as subsistence farmers it's tough to draw lines at what people "need".

The whole climate change argument doesn't bother me because it seems predicated on the concept that the Earth should always remain habitable to humans. It wasn't before, it won't be in future, what's the big deal, extinction happens. Do people think humanity will persist forever? What a joke. Of course I think it's smart to take good care of the planet but, sooner or later the Earth is going to be uninhabitable and humans will be extinct so, people should see the bigger picture before they start acting high and mighty for taking useless steps to try and make a difference. "I'm saving the world by growing my own lettuce", eat a dick, hippies.

I get too worked up ever since I did media studies and marketing. Sigh.

And yep, I have a "green" TV. It turns itself off when I'm not in the room :D

I'll admit though, that is a handy feature, green or not.

It just saves electricity, which saves you money on your electric bill AND it keeps the screen lasting longer. I see no cons.

It cost more than the one that couldn't do it.

Con.

[QUOTE=funkyhoney;17479151]I get too worked up ever since I did media studies and marketing. Sigh.[/QUOTE]

Yeah you seem to have a lot bottled up.

Haha.

I don't know about paying for a TV to turn itself off when I leave the room. I can turn it off myself for free.

:lol: pretty much.

Like my friends grandmother got some book the other day about organics and blah blah. She's like 80 right? And is preaching to us about our vegies with pesticides on them and how we need to eat organic food, etc.

Point being, she's 80, **** never hurt her.

And I'll start buying organic Granny Smiths (the only apples I like) when they're a) as big as normal ones b) taste like normal ones and c) don't cost my first borns' soul to buy.

Off topic kind of, but my favourite kind of idiot is the kind who uses the internet to pontificate on their disdain for mass media.

Also, people who wear giant sunglasses. Today Tonight. Guys who wear skinny jeans. People with an iAnything. People who put themselves on Youtube and think the world gives a rat's dickhole.

You said that about my beer rant too. I know I do, which is why I'm a creative person; I NEED outlets.

Yeah but I forget. It dims the screen and stuff too when there's not a lot of light so it doesn't hurt your eyes and what not. Has some nifty power saving features and the actual output is considerably lower than most other TV's. As in, less than half.

Plus I like it on in the background sometimes but when you're not in the room it turns the picture off but plays the audio, I like that.

Fu[SIZE="2"]c[/SIZE]k off.

I am aware of the irony of using the internet in order to destroy it.

You should have said "proliferate" instead of "pontificate". And then reworded it a bit.

And I'd be without facebook stalking without the internet, that's a hard pill to swallow.

Nah pontificate was the word I wanted.

Proliferation isn't my thing, I support a woman's right to choose.

Puntastic.

I do to. Righteous Christians frustrate me.
