I played Miracle Mask for 4 hours until my headache prevented me from completing puzzles. Seriously my favorite 3rd party series.

But... but... you get a badge!
Some of them are ridiculous, though. Completely fill your boxes? Meet 1000 people in Join Avenue? Ak.

I used to trade a lot online and visit houses in the DW, so getting a thousand people would have been a fun objective in the BW days. Also, the game expects you to live in urban areas where you can get passes easily :|

Tom Brier is this old dude that's amazing at playing rag. If you search him on youtube you can see him playing rags from classical pieces to videogame rags.

He can sight read amazingly. Here's him playing the department store theme from EarthBound.

I've always thought it would be easy to just absorb music into your mind and take it apart. I can handle relative pitch

@Taser - Hm well I mean regardless of the note itself, you can't identify for instance a perfect 5th? How long have you been studying music? (I'm not being mean, I'm just curious) With a bit of practice that much should come relatively easily :/ I'm not sure which notes I could identify off the top of my head, but the intervals that you mentioned aren't overtly difficult. What are you having trouble with in particular?

When I said I was a total noob at all of this, I really meant that I was a total noob at all of this xD
We just started ear training two weeks ago. Since my music theory class is full of choir students, they seemed to recognize notes easily. I can recognize major chords and perfects, besides with sometimes getting confused with tritones-M7 and P4-P5.

Of the four years I've been visiting NSM, I've always thought the users here had perfect pitch and that's why they could arrange so easily. I've always thought perfect pitch was required to learn in music classes. Just until now I know that it's as hard as it looks, and it simply needs lots of practice.

Since I just started ear training I suppose I shouldn't be worry about it much then, huh.

I'm just a total noob at this. I just thought you had to be super good at recognizing notes to start arranging. :p

I don't want to sound like a moron, but how do guys do it? You guys can just listen to an excerpt of a simple piece of music and write it down.

Everything was going great in music theory until we got to ear training. So far, I can only recognize major/perfect intervals in C major.

It's upsetting; I really want to recognize notes, but it's just really difficult. I can't even recognize a note that's played by itself.
The only note that I can probably notice is C3, since that's the octave I imagine C in my head. If I heard a C4 I'd probably understand it also, but other Cs are lost to me.

Yeah, this just shows how much I suck. Did you guys have problems with recognizing notes when you first started? How'd you overcome it?

I have one what I don't use, but it's European.

GBA's aren't region locked, so it wouldn't matter :p

First day of school:
Music Theory = fav class
Japanese = now second fav

I'm so thrilled.

Found out that that shakiness I had for years is hypoglycemia, which means I have diabetes.

This was a tough decision. They're decent rewards, but not good enough for the end-of-the-year prize. If they combined the cards and poster, that would've beem awesome.

I ended up choosing the cards. The posters will be permanently curled from the tube, and I don't hang them up anyway.

[Fire Emblem]

This went unnoticed: two game sections in the Fire Emblem category should be combined.
The two sections, Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword are the same game.

I know it can be confusing, because this was the first international release of the game. I suppose it would be difficult to choose the appropriate name for the section.
The names can either be:

• Fire Emblem (The actual name of the international release)
• Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword (The literal, but unofficial, translation of the Japanese name)
• Fire Emblem: The Sword of Flame (The name given by the official Japanese Fire Emblem website)

I'm not sure which name the admin/mod will decide, but I'm suggesting that (FE6) should be put right after the title to avoid confusion.

Winter: Fixed, I made it simple Fire Emblem. Thanks for your input.

Alright, that's great

I don't think anyone would be interested in these songs anyway, so this would be a great opportunity.

...Though I'm still a newb in Notepad

Since NotePad is free again, I thought I should try and learn how to use it before my music theory/compositions class starts. The thing is, I can't listen listen to music and then convert it to notes.

I was thinking I could "arrange" some music from WarioWare D.I.Y.,a game similar to Mario Paint. The game has pre-loaded records composed by the game's composers, and it wouldn't be too hard to copy the records into Finale (of course, I would need to familiarize myself first).

If I copied the music into Finale, would the arrangements be acceptable for submissions? I'm just curious since I'm arranging using my eyes instead of my ears, which isn't typical for NinSheetMusic's arrangements.

Yay! More Pikmin songs!

Are you thinking of doing the "moist" dungeon theme? The theme from the Jellyfloat Pool?
I'm not requesting it; just wondering if you find it awesome also. :p

[NES]

I. LOVE. YOU. SO. MUCH. This is great!

I was hoping someone would do the NES version! (Your post says SNES)
Some of the last 3 eighth notes on some measures, for example, 6 and 8, aren't part of the melody. It would have more effect if it was quieter than the melody.
