Hulu was founded in March 2007 and is a joint venture owned by NBC Universal and News Corp. In addition, Hulu has closed a $100 million investment from private equity firm Providence Equity Partners.
Seems legit enough.
NBC and News Corp are as big as they come.

That doesn't mean I don't care, Tarranon. MikeMan isn't broken, he's a person and nobody's perfect, it's just that when people are sick they need to see a doctor.
You could be recommending him to a crazy man, you ever think of that VC?
When you hear the reports of a young male being found dead five miles out of new jersey with far too many drugs stuffed into his body cavities, will your toss out internet link be much of a comfort to your conscience then?

You mean there are other ways to play Hitman? I go for immersion: I'm a hitman, I'm busy, and can't be bothered with briefings, and reading things. I just kill everyone in the level and hope that they're the right target.

You're bound to get the right one if you kill everybody.

For shits, I play the game on realistic, SA every level, never use a disguise, never be caught.
So, what's the deal with Gamespot. It seems like they're waiting insane amounts of time to get out reviews of more high profile games these days.
I mean, I primarily go there out of habit anyway since it seems like their reviews are written by a bunch of high school freshmen these days, but still.
Five other dudes have quit since that Jeff guy was fired, so I’m not surprised if they’re falling behind.
ahhh god terrible typos kill them kill them with fire. ahem.
I didn't hear anything about that, although it's not terribly surprising. May also explain their dip in quality. Maybe.
Jefff whatshisname left after he had the balls to say he didn't like Kane and Lynch when they had spend millions of dollars in ads on the site and were planning to spend more.
Eidos balked and whoever holds the real strings said that money is more important than honesty.
(Which it sort of is, but thats not the point).
You understand how one guy leaving like that could lead to a bunch of talented people quitting after him, leading to panic hirings and the drop in quality.
Yeah, the Fostex is nice. I picked it because it is fairly well regarded in the worlds of concert recording and movie sound. The LE lacks some of the bells and whistles that its big brother has (like the option to do timecode), but that costs about three times as much as this and I don't have a timecode slate anyhow (which is obscenely expensive in its own right).
This wasn't exactly a proper venue. Without getting into too many details, it was put on by a club on campus who doesn't have a whole lot of sway or money, so they weren't able to get the school to set up for a proper concert (which, coincidentally, is my job at that school). So pretty much all the school offered was a few mediocre Sennheiser vocal mics and the system that they use for karaoke. This band seemed to self-sufficient, so that was fortunate. There wasn't exactly a proper mix being put out as the drums are louder than the keys/vox that were going out through the speakers (which were behind the drums, so that muddied things up a little more as well, but that was the space provided for them, so there wasn't a whole lot they could do there).
I'm a concert/audience recorder, so most of what I do is just sticking a couple of mics into the air. You're right, the Fostex only has two inputs. If I had a four track recorder (like a 744 or R-4) then I possibly could have done a bit more. Or if I had a nice 8 or 16 track mixer, then I would have been in business, but that requires a lot more time/money/equipment to deal with. And really, this is about as much as I am willing to handle considering I am doing this all out of my own pocket and in a non-official capacity.
Ah. Yeah that all makes perfect sense. At our band's shows at admittedly small gigs I would do all the recording myself, which made for some very hectic pre-show running around and distracted me from actually playing to the best of my ability because I was so worried about levels and such. I really wanted a "live" feel to our demo tape but without the level problems a lot of live recordings have. I eventually struck a balance, but that was because, being in the band, having complete control, and playing at small venues, I was able to mic everyone appropriately.
So that's more than you wanted to know, right?
No freakin way.
Edit: As for the levels, well, that shouldn't have been an issue. It's just a result of the cabling I have left over from my previous rig where it was essential to go from XLR to TRS to bring the levels down. I decided to run this show with the MixPre, so it got a little complicated trying to figure out what the proper levels were to be set on two different devices. And I kept adjusting them throughout the show which is a no-no on my part. It's a bad habit that I need to stop.
There's only so much you can do with the levels at live setups like that. The drums WILL overpower everything sometimes, and the vocals will fade into the background. It all depends on the size of the venue and everything else related to the performance.
But yeah, fiddling around is a no-no. :P Not everyone can run through a 30 minute sound test before each show, though.

Yeah, shame on me. I'll be looking into getting some straight XLR > XLR cables. Or, more likely, I'll just get the Fostex modded so I can confidently run it as an all-in-one and not worry about hauling around an extra preamp. If I had an Apogee MiniMP, then I would make it my business to really get the science down to this particular setup. But as it is, just running the one box would be much nicer; the MixPre isn't THAT great for live sound anyhow.
Ah cool, what kind of setup did you have at your disposal for recording? Were you taking anything off the board, or were you just going with all mics?
Considering how this show was run, I'm relatively happy with how my recording came out. I'll be handing off a copy of the show to them soon and a couple of friends were rolling video, so we'll sync their stuff with my stuff and have something partway decent. Good times.

That is adorable and I want the game now.
It was sort of their final hope though, so they’re lucky it worked out.
Yes.
What about TunaMan?
Heheh.
Awww.
I love you too quiznos

Hmmm....
I must return to my secluded villa and ponder this great question that you have posed...

It is hitting the spot so hard.

Anyhow I’m going to bed now.
I'd suggest looking up some of the gameplay footage videos of No More Heroes on youtube. You might like it.
