Classic OT thread

I would say that is pretty damn scarey, think you must have given out too much info if people can track down your cell phone number.

Im sure you will be back to remind us how good you are at a later date.
 
People just have way too much time, they probably got it because they have my real name from buying their items from me via paypal

Well, I'm entirely bored of D2 now, so you won't be seeing much of me around anymore. School starting again and a nice new job too.

I'll likely to make a return for LS4, classic only, to play with friends (and appease my fans). Until then, I still have enough posts here for my stalkers to read and call me about crying. I'd say I was pretty damn good if I managed to get internet stalkers who went to enough trouble to find my cell number.

It appears my time on the realms of battle.net have been complete and utter failure, as not once have I recieved a phone call from a dii associate that I did not give my number to.

That, or the high brow aristocrats on west are just too classy for that sleazy prepubescent behavior exhibited by the realm of useast. :thumbsup:

no, that was a cheap shot. kind of like the whole west softcore ladder getting banned. See, we aren't so classy sometimes. I think we can all agree that europe has some nice players, and if they aren't nice, at least we don't know what they are saying about us. :prop:

I assume you are joking! i very much doubt any d2 players parents were even borning in the 1930's
 
That doesn't keep some ignorant players (American and European) from worshipping all the wrong historical figures. Somehow, exploiting the labor of the masses became a good idea to these people... that would just happen to be a part of said masses if such style of rule came back. I guess it is a sacrifice they are willing to take to appease their xenophobia.

I think we can all learn from American companies that you should exploit the labor of other countries, not your own. (This last part is sarcasm. Please don't take it seriously and start an argument just because sarcasm doesn't transmit well over the internet.)

Edit: I noticed this is my 88th post. What a coincidence.

Sarcasm has some truth to it, and this is no exception. :grin:

a simple table of samples, which allows you to create your "own" music.. with like 36 samples from 3 instruments..

I'd rather sit at my baby grand piano for a while and create my music there. That's something for smarter people. :rolleyes:

yes I can
but I prefer good music to crap music

if classic music was so good, it would be popular. and yes, when speaking of music it's like 100% taste. I like music with guitars, which I unfortunately cant play. It makes me positive or negative, it brings some energy. Piano is the most boring thing ever for me, apart from putting the sound in few selected sad songs I like.

I don't remember which composer was it - but his music was like techno of the old times, "paRAraRAM" played in 100 times in different ways ;)
 
If it wasnt for the piano and classical music there woudl be NO music. Also if you dont think classical music isn't popular tell me why every single orchestra and good classical musicians sell out every where they play with tickets pushing 3-500$ per?
 
Cause it's the kind of performances where the snobbish upper class go to avoid seeing plebs like us. ;)
 
Never said that wasn't the case...I just said it is VERY popular in some circles.
I doubt I would see and of the folks that go to the classical "performances" at the dingy, smoke filled, beer fueled, tattoo encrusted hardcore shows i frequent =).

this isn't true. even 100 years ago, big orchestras were not profitable - they relied on the charity of the super wealthy to meet operating budget. today, there are more and more orchestras going under, not because the talent is less - more people than ever before are becoming exceedingly proficient at classical instruments - but rather because there is less of a market, including a smaller pool of super wealthy willing to shell out for such an unprofitable enterprise.

i addressed orchestras in large concert halls, because that is what you commented on. small ensembles on the other hand can be much more profitable, largely due to the fact that there are way fewer people to support.

---------------------------------------------
regarding fledgling's post: that argument is terrible. popular does not equal good, even if it (though you don't define what you mean) is largely a matter of taste. first it leads itself to questions of the definition of popular. does that mean a majority of people in the world, in the usa, in your group of friends, share your tastes? but no matter. let's get into it.

'taste' is a set of preferences. your point is then that popular preferences are by nature superior to unpopular preferences. implicit in this statement is that all preferences (at least concerning music) have no intrinsic value and that the only manner they receive value is through many people sharing them.

therefore, differentiating "good music" and "crap music" when you say you "prefer good music to crap music," your judgment is only based on how 'popular' (whatever that means) the music you listen to is.

now, i'm sure you disagree with this statement, otherwise you might love christina. step back through the logic, and you'll see that is lies with the implications of your argument: that preferences have no intrinsic value and they only receive value through people sharing them. The problem then lies either in that musical tastes gain value by people sharing them or that musical tastes have no intrinsic value. rejecting either one of these statements will nullify your claim that popular=good, but let's examine specifics.

say you only reject the second statement, that value is gained through shared taste. then you still believe that preferences have no intrinsic value, and thus you have no basis for saying what "good music" and "crap music" are.

but that's just silly. you're then going to have to reject that tastes have no intrinsic value. this is natural. you know what you like, so clearly your musical choices have intrinsic value to you.

you must admit then that preferences have intrinsic value. then the concern is: either there exist objectively good preferences or there do not. i contend that the lack of objectively good preferences simply is another way to say that preferences do not contain intrinsic value.

thus, there must exist objectively good preferences.



as a corollary, i leave it as an exercise to the reader to show that if objectively good preferences do not exist, then there is zero point in arguing about them on a forum.
