  If You Still Believe - a gate song maybe

'If You Still Believe' might be the song that gets Doug home.
It is the theme song of the PS1 game 'Legend of Dragoon' and the main chacter of that game is not Dart, but Rose.  A girl/woman who has been fighting for 11,000 years to save the world.  Strange.  A song sung by a Japanese singer for a Japanese game that was sung fully in English
If not a gate song, than I have no clue what it could be.

  Changing display resolution
Posted by: Jinx999 - 01-16-2011, 10:23 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (3)

I recently bought a netbook with a 1024  x 600 widescreen display.
I own a number of old games that have 800 x 600 resolution modes that are old enough and have low enough requirements to run on the netbook.
Does anyone know of a way to change the resolution of a screen so that I'll have black bars on either side of the screen, instead of having it stretched out and ugly?

  Video - MP3 Converter for Youtube?
Posted by: Logan Darklighter - 01-16-2011, 09:20 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (11)

I've tried doing a search on the boards here, but for once my google-fu seems insufficient. 

Someone here within the last 6 months or so (in fact I'm pretty sure within the last 3) mentioned and/or had a link to a converter that would turn the audio of a Youtube video into a decent to good quality MP3 format. 

Right now I'm interested in just that one function - extraction of the audio from the video. Anybody got a recommended program/link?

(Sure, I could google for this sort of thing, but I trust you guys more to send me to something good that doesn't have malware etc in it. ^_^)

  Jerry Reed song for the Buffy step
Posted by: Disruptor - 01-16-2011, 08:25 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)

Jerry Reed is a country singer and a while back he was a guest star on the Scooby-Doo movies.  The song he played during that two part episode arc would be perfect for the Buffy step.  The song?
Pretty Mary Sunlight.
Creates sunlight for the few minutes Doug has it up.  Not really all the useful....normally
Scooby-Doo ---  the Scoobies.
A song about sunlight in a story about vampires?
The song is on the CD "Scooby-Doo's Snack Tracks: The Ultimate Collection"

  A thought about a step to a Galaxy Far Far Away
Posted by: Disruptor - 01-15-2011, 03:51 AM - Forum: Future Steps - Replies (1)

I wonder what Doug would think of on winding up on a certain mining asteroid and then eventually meeting such notable pesoanlities as-
Atton Rand
Kreia
T3-M4
Bao-Dur
Biranna the Handmaiden
Mical the Disciple
Kaevee
Mira
Visas Marr
Darth Nilhus
Darth Sion
Vrook Lamar
Atris
Zez Kai-Ell
Kavar
(Lorna Vash)-maybe
The Jedi Exile
Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
The confrontation between Doug and Vrook Lamar would be fun to see.

  [RFC][dskswdyhms] ... Tentacles. That's what we need!
Posted by: Black Aeronaut - 01-14-2011, 06:58 PM - Forum: Hangar 13 - Replies (4)

This oughta speak for itself.


It was a morning like any other at Mahora Academy.  Dad was just coming in to teach his lesson on combat tactics and history when he was followed in by a blue-haired girl with an odd looking hat.  She was wearing the Mahora Academy's female uniform, but the hat combined with her odd hair style really threw me off at first.  It was almost as though she was going for a squid motiff.
Dad didn't even miss a beat.
"Good morning, class."
"Good morning Darkwood-sensei!" choroused the rest of us.
"As you can see, we have a new student."  At that, the girl stepped forward.
"Hello!  My name is Ika Musume and I am a messenger of the Sea.  Please take good care of me."  And with that she gave the prerequisite bow.
"Class, does anyone have any questions for Ika-san?"
I raised my hand and my father motioned for me to proceed.  "Ika-san, you said that you're a messenger of the sea.  You wouldn't happen to be one of Calypso's girls, would you?"
Ika Musume was literally taken aback by my question.  "Wha?  How do you know that?"
Dad chuckled and put an affectionate hand on her shoulder.  "Don't worry, Ika-san.  Everyone here at the Gifted Students Wing of Mahora Academy is special.  Zeke, would you care to find Ika-san a seat?"
"Sure thing, Dad."
Ika Musume started as she made a double-take between me and my father.  "DAD!?"
I grinned and chuckled.  That never gets old and I don't give a shit if it lables me as a teacher's pet - it's WORTH it.  "I know.  We don't resemble each other much, but that's because I take after my mother.  The seat over there by Mizuno Ami is available," I said as I motioned over towards the blue-haired genius.  Ami perked up from her near-ceaseles studies to give Ika-san a cheerful smile and a wave.  "I'm pretty sure you two will get along like a house on fire."

I am also seriously considering throwing Ataru Moroboshi in as well.  Grounds: he is a regenerator - any damage dealt to him is healed within seconds.  Normally fatal stuff takes longer, though.  Missing limbs will take a day or two (gotta replace all that mass).  Headshots can distort his memory and decapitation would outright kill him.  In short, Wolverine without the claws.  He'll pretty much be the class punching bag - even more so than Zeke (he's just the butt-monkey).
