You're all too depressing...seriously

[someonehairy-ish]

I've been around for long enough to find my early threads embarrassing. Holy crap, 4 years? Erff. Anyways, I don't feel at all depressed, certainly not about Escapist matters. Although people continually making the same goddamn threads is getting annoying. I see one called 'What do you think about tattoos' once every week or so.

...oh yeah, positive stuff. Well, I've got my housemates for uni next year sorted. +we've already decided we're getting Rocksmith as a flat, so that's cool. + One of them is one the music course, so I can hunt down some of their music friends and form a band at uni, final-fucking-lee.

I recently bought a bass guitar and am loving every second of it.

I love playing bass. I wish I'd picked it up as my first instrument instead of guitar.

I did. Tis' a sexy instrument indeed. Just out of interest though, you said you make most of your music on the computer now? What programs do you use? I want to get into that side of things moar. So far I just use Logic and plugins, I feel like there's probably lots I should know about.

I mostly use Cubase 5 (though I'm thinking about upgrading) and an assload of VSTs. Of those VSTs, I find myself using Kontakt (loaded with Symphobia and, soon, Drums of War) and Omnisphere quite a lot. I do find myself using some of the free plug-ins I get with Computer Music Magazine, though. They offer a lot of decent samples, too.

I use Logic a lot on my course. No plug-ins, but it's in-built instruments and effects are really good, I think. I've actually been using it a lot for this soundtrack I've been writing. I was going to buy it but my Mac is quite old and probably won't take too kindly to it. :[ I'm quite comfortable with Cubase now, anyway.

What kind of stuff do you write, out of interest?

Mass Effect is awesome. I don't care what you say. I am awesome too!

Positive things that have happened to me recently is passing my A2 Business studies and beating a Brutal AI on the Tiberium Essence mod as the GDI vs NOD.

Though my natural cynicism and over self awareness of my surroundings and general events do not help my panic and anxiety disorder one bit. Though like Smilomaniac said you have to laugh off whatever medical condition you have and it's not the same for everyone. Sometimes it can get the better of you.

Anyway people should play Star Trek Klingon Academy, good game very deep and a blast to play!

Spring break finally came.

Hear bloody hear.

My cold has finally died a quiet and unremarked death, leaving me free to enjoy my time catching up on my assignments and hunting the fabled job. I am pleased.
