No internet and no keyboard makes Dan a dull boy…

[Danny Stephenson]

Well at least one of those is fixed! I now have a rocketing 8 Meg connection with Virgin Media. Just downloaded Audiosurf again off of Steam at 1.2MB/Sec, the fastest i’ve EVER had in this house. EVER!

On the subject of Audiosurf actually, who else uses it? I want to add you as friends…

[Jonathan Capps]

ME. Although I don’t play it a great deal anymore.

[Danny Stephenson]

When I play Audiosurf, I see this thing floating about…

And all I want to see is this…

[Smeg4Brains]

Audiosnarf is……?

[Danny Stephenson]

Taken from Teh Wiki:

Audiosurf is an award-winning puzzle/rhythm hybrid game.

[…] Its track-like stages visually mimic the music the player chooses, while the player races across several lanes collecting colored blocks that appear in sync with the music.

[…] The music used in the game is chosen from the user’s own library, from almost any DRM-free format, as well as standard redbook CDs; in addition, Audiosurf includes the entire soundtrack to The Orange Box as part of the download.

in other words, it’s awesome.

The game detects things in the audio file you’ve given it and creates a track that work in sync with it. Clever shit!

Mr Blue Sky played through Audiosurf – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkiMMjkljag

Pendulum: Slam – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu9aiMbUlCU (The Buildup is well worth it)

Depending on the song you pick depends on how easy the game is. For example, pick something heavy and fast and more than likely the game will be difficult and quick. (Through The Fire and Flames is again one of the more difficult levels)
Pick a soft chillout song and the game is relaxing and calm.

It’s just everything I need out of a game.

I have Audiosurf/steam.

Look for simonjedi1, I have the BTE dwarf as my avatar

[ori-STUDFARM]

BTE dwarf? What, Chloe Annett?

[Pete Part Three]

I used to have it, but installed Windows 7 the other week and have yet to reinstall this. I played it religiously at work for about 3 months a couple of years ago, but haven’t touched it for a while.

[Smeg4Brains]

I’m well impressed. I’m off to download it now.

[hummingbird]

My gods, I love this! Must. Have.

[JamesTC]

I got it before, I tried playing ‘Stand by Me’, I would pick one of the fastest paced Oasis tracks wouldn’t I?

[Ben Paddon]

I love AudioSurf. Haven’t played it in ages, though.

Hmm. Might bust it out again now.

[Jonathan Capps]

> Hmm. Might bust it out again now.

And after that you should play AudioSurf.

[Ben Paddon]

Maybe I should!

[hummingbird]

I have just spent a completely pointless but thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours playing this.

[Smeg4Brains]

My favourite track to play on this so far has been The Eve Of War from Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds

[Andrew]

> Jeff Wayne?s War of the Worlds

This is excellent.

That is all.

[Smeg4Brains]

I saw it live earlier this year.

[The PerformingMonkey]

So did I. In bloody good seats as well. Though Richard Burton’s voice is still the best thing about the whole show. His CGI’d face at the side was pretty cool. That bloke from the Moody Blues can still sing, too.

[ori-STUDFARM]

That bloke from Moody Blues had a bad throat last time I saw it live. His singing ability for that night was questionable….

…….Was fine the year before though!

[Blisschick]

Moody. Blues. Rock.

[TheLeen]

I’m getting Audiosurf now.

[Danny Stephenson]

The Fortdax remix of Nathan Fake’s You Are Here (otherwise known as the theme to Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe) is fucking brilliant to play on Audiosurf. Turn the lights off and enjoy!!

[Pete Part Three]

Mr Brightside – The Killers.

That is all.

[Danny Stephenson]

Mr Brightside – The Killers.

Fuck me, that was intense. never seen a track so windy…

[Danny Stephenson]

So as I said before, WHAT ARE YOUR HANDLES!!!!!! I WANT FRIENDS!

[hummingbird]

Fork handles?

[Ian Symes]

My name is ianiansymes, obviously.

[Ben Paddon]

I’m Squirminator2k on Steam, and (I think) either Squirminator2k or BenPaddon on Audiosurf.

[Danny Stephenson]

The Eve Of War from Jeff Wayne?s War of the Worlds

COming back to this, I’ve found on the second ullaDUBulla album that the Hybrid remix of Eve Of The War is just as amazing.

[Smeg4Brains]

I’m thejason40 if you want to add me. Casual Champion of La Bamba. :-)

[Ben Paddon]

Someone should make a Ganymede & Titan Steam group.

[peas_and_corn]

My name on it is peas_and_corn of course.

Ian- I really want your sonic the hedgehog music collection.

[Danny Stephenson]

“Come To Daddy” by Aphex Twin is a fairly unnerving experience on Audiosurf…

[Danny Stephenson]

hehehehehehe. ‘Rode’

[JamesTC]

I know they do big bags of Solace but I don’t want ’em.
