Yeah, this is a bit more expensive than the Dragonfly, but all you need is an Apple lightning to USB camera connection to use it. On my wantlist: http://www.jdslabs.com/products/84/c5d-amplifier-dac/ Optical out should not apply any gain, as it is designed to send bitperfect audio (that is, a 1/1 representation of the audio as presented in your source material) to an external amplifier. In fact the volume control on the TV should not affect the volume of anything sent out via optical at all, if I understand correctly. Headphone out will have been amplified to whatever volume you set the TV at. This explains the difference in levels.

So ready for this LP. Was there ever any word on when the Catch For Us The Foxes reissue is going to happen after the delay?

Wilco - Sky Blue Sky

This but Pyramid Song.

Totally agree with you rooks in that it bugs me when play a room identically and it has different results. It's frustrating, but I think it's designed that way for replayability.

I may be reading this wrong but I think you're missing the point of the game. It's supposed to be stupid difficult. I play on PC but I use a controller and I do just fine. Granted, I still have to play a level 20x or more before successfully navigating it. Dying is an essential part of the gameplay. It's not a roguelike where you have to avoid death at all costs. You're supposed to die so much that you get in to a rhythm.

For real? Time to hit up discogs and score some dealz from EU sellers if that's true.

^It would be great if there ends up being a deluxe vinyl version of the LP when it comes out that includes the EP, similar to the recent Panda Bear release.

The lock on functionality is a little overpowered in HM2. As in, you can lock on to and shoot enemies that you can't even see yet. Game is still tough despite that, though, and honestly it makes it a bit more humanly possible to string together insane combos. This one does feel like it's focused a lot more on gun play than the first, which I sort of like. In HM1, using guns always just felt like a risk. Now guns feel more like a risk-reward scenario. I feel like it encourages me more to play the way I want as opposed to the handful of ways I could figure out how to just survive levels in the first game.

^Yeah that interview is sweet. Surrender is a great song as well. The only song that I didn't immediately love is Late Night Drive. It has a certain appeal, but the other three songs on the EP are so much stronger to me.

My one complaint is honestly the bonus tracks. I sort of despise that a cappella version of Anthem and the Spawn demo doesn't do much for me, not to mention the quality of the source material for both those songs is audibly lesser than the album proper. Really breaks the spell after Steam Will Rise. Minor complaint, though. I really love Daniel's EP. Such a great payoff after 8 years, in my opinion. Just don't expect it to be much like anything he's ever done before except maybe The Dissociatives. Heavy focus on the production and his voice, the EP really shines on headphones and at high volume on a great stereo.

I wonder if I can convince the merch guy to give me a sticker so I can have a 1/1 white tour variant.

Hotline Miami 2 is so dope.

I really hope they set up some new plates for this press. The OG sounds so so bad.

It's good. Exactly how I expected/wanted it to be. Same as the first, slightly more polished.

So excited to play Hotline Miami 2 tonight.

http://pitchfork.com/news/58782-mew-share-new-song-water-slides/ New song "Water Slides". This is shaping up nicely.

Anyone going tonight? Curious about details on the tour press!!!

DO IT. PC gaming > consoles x1000. But when there is a new Zelda game, I WILL buy a WiiU.

Wait. Should I be calling my store already and making sure they are getting the things I want? I was planning on waiting at least until the official list was posted for that biz.

If someone does make that Enshaqfu shirt, they'll probably want this: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/emigre/cholla-ot/wide/

On further research I saw that on another forum and accepted it as fact.

^Thanks

@petgrief These are not remastered or sonically different from the original releases, correct? Also is there any way to get the demos digitally without purchasing the LPs? I have the AOTY 2 disc CD with the demos, but would be interested in digital versions the Novena demos and have no need for the LP. More feedback: it would be really nice if SC offered a hi resolution lossless option (i.e. 24bit WAV, FLAC) for downloads, as 320 MP3 is not everyone's preferred format.

Did there end up being a new master for this as they claimed was the reason for the long delay and removal from bandcamp? Or did they just pretty much release the same thing as they did back in July?
