OR IS IT?!?!?!

I just found that Squaresound has a count of 1563 arrangements, clearly beating our measly 1252.  How unfortunate!

So as you all should know, Muse is amazing, and their new album comes out in a few weeks.  We already have two songs from it, Uprising and United States of Eurasia, and both are awesome and radically different from each other.  It's looking to be a fantastic album just from the 30 second previews found here.

I preordered the set of the CD and bonus making of DVD from Amazon.

I personally am really looking forward to MK Ultra and the Exogenesis Symphony.  The previews sound fantastic. <3

What are your favourite portable headphones that you use with an mp3 player, game system, etc.? I'm trying to get some ideas as I had some Sennheiser CX300 and CX400 earbuds but they kept dying. I sent them in for a warranty exchange at least 7 times. They had great quality sound, it's just that they aren't durable at all.

So I'm going to attempt to compose some little pieces as a nice exercise for me.  I guess I'll just post them here.

Here's a shitty little tune I made in a couple of minutes:

Note that I've never composed anything before and at the moment I'm stuck with Notepad 2008.

Yeah, we need one of these.  Post funny or interesting images, comics, videos, etc here!

This is one of those topics that the forum is missing.

Just post a link until JaMaHa decides to re-enable the spoiler tags.

[NOT]

BEFORE YOU MAKE A REQUEST!
Please use the forum search feature to make sure that it hasn't already been arranged!  There is a chance that the person has not submitted it for the update yet, or is still waiting for the update.  You should also check the In Progress Topic to see if somebody is already at work on the song.

Do NOT make generic request threads. Make specific requests.

Note: This section of the forum is only for requesting a piano arrangement of a song.  If you're looking to make a special request for an orchestral arrangement or one for another instrument, please take that to the "Music" section.

Topic Title Format

In the Subject, you should post in this format:

[Console ID] Game Title - "Song Title"

For example:

[PC] Touhou 10 - "Native Faith"

Acceptable Console IDs:
See this topic: Console abbreviations

If you're going to make multiple requests from the same game, stick them all in one topic with something like:

[SNES] Chrono Trigger - Multiple Songs

Please be reasonable here, requesting 10+ tracks or straight up an entire OST is not reasonable.

If you're going to request a large amount of songs all from different games, unless they are from the same franchise (e.g. Mario), put them all in separate threads for each game series. Before posting, consider if it is necessary for you to stick your requests all in one thread.

Do:

Multiple songs from The Legend of Zelda

Multiple songs from Kirby

[MUL] Sonic the Hedgehog Series - Multiple Songs

Don't:

Multiple songs from Fire Emblem, Donkey Kong, Team Fortress 2

Request Format

In the topic itself, please post a link to an mp3 or youtube video of the song itself.

I, being the great hypocrite that I am, have decided to create this little game where you try and create a sexual situation using only Pokemon moves!  Go look them up if you don't know them, Google is meant for your use.

I SHALL START.

Stun Spore!
Take Down!
Pound, pound, pound, pound...

(Be aware that you may be offended by this.  In this case, please leave because nobody wants to hear your whining.)

I was thinking of making this on some other forums, so it may not work well with the NSM audience.  Whatever.

Twas for a class.  Yes, we were stuck with the utter shit that is Game Maker and managed to code this using the GML, which is awful.  Notice how the sprites are custom made.   (Except for the IWBTG on the title screen and random background at the end sequence)

My friend was the sprite artist and level designer, I was the one who coded the whole movement physics whatever.  It was meant to be an old style platformer, don't even try to say that the sprites are too small.

And here it is.

Yes, we know that the name is unoriginal and a ripoff.  Yes, we know that the text is screwy.

[Note: I have not played these games since they are rated "M" and aren't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.]

Holy fucking shit.  This site is hilarious.  If you scroll to the bottom and see the reviews of "Secular & Un-Christian Games" then you will find:

Halo 1, 2 & 3 (Bungie, Xbox & PC)
Halo
    8.31.2008: (Note: I have not played these games since they are rated "M" and aren't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.) The Halo series is a very popular first person shooter game that first appeared on the original Xbox. The single-player campaign is set in space on a giant ring-planet (that is why it is misleadingly called "halo", it has nothing to do with angels or anyone holy) where human soldiers are battling aliens for possession of the halo. The player controls the Master Chef who in a surprise twist turns out to be more than just a military cook... he's also a super soldier (I think this was the plot of a Steven Seagal movie I saw before I was born again, only that was set on a Navy ship and he fought terrorists instead of aliens. But it's the same general idea.) It's a war game, so there's lots of violence, but it's against aliens (God hasn't said anything yet about aliens, so I guess that's morally acceptable for now). However, the alien forces are called "the Covenant" and are depicted as having strong religious values and a desire for Salvation, so they are undoubtedly a reference to Christians. The Halo planet itself is probably a reference to the rainbow God gave as a sign of His Covenant with us (Gen. 9:12-17), which means the game's objective of keeping Halo from the aliens is really about destroying God's relationship with His creation. Typical for the Secular media, the Christians are alien bad guys and must be either led away from God or killed. Also, there's a naked woman in the game, only she's a computer and translucent, but I'm told you can still totally see stuff. Where the Halo series gets really bad is in its online play, which allows teams of players to fight each other to capture the flag or other objectives. Unlike in single-player, here the players are trying to kill other humans (who are actual real people, not just AIs), desensitizing them to the murder of their friends and classmates (although the games are rated "M" most players are underage). Players swear and use blasphemies constantly in the voice chat, but that's not the worst part. When a player kills another player, he goes to the corpse and does something called "tea bagging". I'm not going to describe this since it's gross, but, according to Skeet, it's something that homosexuals do to each other. Why would they do this in a game!? (That's not the only homosexual content. The human soldiers are referred to as "Spartans" -- the real Spartans were notorious homosexuals. Come to think of it, homosexuals have also stolen the rainbow symbol from Christians and are using it to separate people from their God by leading them astray into the "Gay lifestyle". Maybe Bungie included "tea bagging" to further their anti-Covenant theme into the multiplayer campaigns.) For violence, nudity, swearing, promoting homosexual activities and promoting the destruction of the Covenant, the Halo series gets ZERO CROSSES.

Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Guitar Praise (Various)
Satan
    8.27.2008: (Note: I have not played Guitar Hero or Rock Band since they contain music that isn't allowed on the Fellowship U campus, so I am basing this mini-review on Secular media reports.) This is actually a review of a genre of games. It started with Guitar Hero, which included a plastic guitar controller that lets the player "play along" with a song by pressing the buttons on the fret and strumming a bar. The challenge is to both match the correct "chords" and to strum at the right time to stay in sync with the song, which is represented on screen with a stream of colorful "notes" coming at you. Guitar Hero became wildly popular with both kids and adults (some sources call it a "cultural phenomenon") and has spawned both sequels and a competing game called Rock Band, which adds drums and a mic. While the basic gameplay itself is otherwise wholesome and fun, the problem with these games are the songs included, which are all Secular and even Satanic in nature. These games are gateway drugs that lure innocent youths, under the guise of a harmless "party game", into listening to (and memorizing through repetition) some of the most anti-Christian and Satan-exalting rock music ever published, including songs by Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osbourne, White Zombie, Slayer, the Blue Oyster Cult, and the S*x Pistols (if you don't know who those bands are... they're really bad. Before I gave myself to Jesus, I listened to some of these bands and I know that they are destructive and their messages promote a bleak and immoral worldview). Besides the songs, the games also have other Satanic trappings, including having Satan himself appearing as your band's manager in GH3! Parents and youth pastors are strongly encouraged to look into the songs hidden in these games and not allow their kids to be exposed to them. Thankfully, there is now an alternative for parents and pastors who want to allow their kids to get their shred on at parties and youth group meetings but don't want them having Slayer's "Reign in Blood" brainwashed into their minds. Christian game publisher Digital Praise are about to release Guitar Praise (PC & Mac), which will do for Guitar Hero what their Dance Praise did for the Secular Dance Dance Revolution. Guitar Praise will have a guitar controller just like GH's and the same gameplay, only it will include only top Christian rock bands, such as dc Talk, Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet, that reflect Christian values instead of those of Satan. For their sneakily hidden Satanic rock content, Guitar Hero & Rock Band both get ZERO CROSSES. Guitar Praise is not released as of this writing, but I'm sure I'll give it least ††††

Bully (Rockstar, PS2)
'Bully' Homosexuality
    10.22.2006: Bully is a very, very bad game. It promotes school violence, vandalism, disrespect for authority, and comic mischief. This was all expected when Rockstar announced their "Columbine simulator", but there's one surprise in the game no one saw coming: It teaches young boys to become homosexuals. Your character, Jimmy Hopkins, can "make out" with six other boys in the game and is rewarded with a health bonus (subtly teaching that homosexual sex is healthy). This content is hidden, not mentioned anywhere on the packaging or content rating. The game causes players to discover it by accident, then entices them to do it again and again, much like how actual homosexuality spreads. I had to try every boy in town just to find the ones that would kiss me. It was gross! After one of the boys asked me if I wanted to play "shirts and skins", I quickly turned off the Playstation because I didn't want to see what that was (Pastor Skeet later told me it's homosexual slang). Worst of all is that Bully is rated Teen, which means boys as young as 13 could be learning how to approach and kiss other boys! Parents need to be warned of this hidden objectionable content so they can organize boycotts. Please inform your Church. ZERO CROSSES

What's worse is this isn't all the reviews, there are plenty more!

Either we actually go by the fucking things or just throw them out.  It's clear that PianoMasta7 and his tools can all get away with whatever the hell they want to without a consequence, but as soon as somebody with a tiny bit of power does a little small thing they get banned.  That is not how a rules system should work.  If you really want to help this site's reputation you have to do a bit more than fix the sheets on the site.  Also, fuck off PMS when you go and post your little comment about how you hate me, because we all know you're just flame baiting.

I would like to ask, no demand that it be removed off the site.  Like now.   

I suggest cooperation unless you want this site to have an even worse reputation as it already has.  And yes, most of the more professional arrangers don't think very well of this site.

DO IT.

Also lets have everybody use www.speedtest.net and choose to test your best connection as well as the one I use.



EDIT: It seems some of you think you're getting a kilobytes per second result when you really are getting a kiloBITS per second result.  Go to http://www.speedtest.net/results.php and change the "speed measure" tab at the top to kilobytes or whatever you want to see.

AND DON'T UPDATE IT NOW EITHER.

THEY MADE IT SO YOU CAN'T FULLY USE EVERYTHING RIGHT FOR HOMEBREW.

Could you guys add a little Ninsheetmusic Favicon to the site and forums?  What I mean is the little icon that appears in the tab or address bar for the website.  Dekudude should know how.

Hey guys, I'm working on a bunch of songs with 2, 3 and 4 note chords all over the place, and I'm wondering if you guys have any tips to help figure them out.

Lost Odyssey - Determination

The chords at the end of this one are specifically what I've been having a bit of a hard time on, but I know there are a few other in songs like Kaette Kuru Kitto.

YES!  Post your awesome stick art here!

I CAN MAKE ONE WITHOUT POSTING AN IMAGE!

VERY YES!  It runs off the Zelda Chainloader so you don't void any warranties or risk bricking!  WIN.

Don't know how long it'll work, but STILL AWESOME.

Hurrah! Maybe Nintendo will actually have a GOOD online service now!  And you poor bastards that whine about the price can go get a job.
