Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Yeah, I know....I always say that, but I've been through so much lately, I don't know if I can make the time to hang around here. I love you all though, and I wish you all the best in your lives.

I just found the most interesting document. A few years back, I decided to talk to my computer using its built in speech recognition software, and this is what it wrote back to me. I posted it for laughs. xD

Title: You Are Retard Used to be Computer

Hello. I don't know why it does not record my beliefs in open office. This is such a bummer. I really don't know what to say next. There is not much to say, because I have to talk very slow. This is very the lame. This is going to take a lot of time to get used to. I really wish this were two more accurate, but I guess it will have to do for now. You are you retard I am a retard and some in im so mean your name two why can't you can to try to use stupid computer. If you wonder if the guy said my?

I am writing a letter to you and I know that it will put another version of the word two in the place all from that of the two that I want to tell you ha ha ha. With this computer use so in name. And I don't even think it will get that word either the cause you to use the name will. I really wonder what strange generation it will replace my words when a. I guess we will have to find out.

OMG! I won a contest!! A lot of people entered, and I won!!! :D The prize wasn't that much, I know...just a silly t-shirt and some candy, lol, but I won!!!!! I saw so many entries....maybe almost a thousand (well, probably not that many). And mine was definitely nothing special....but I won anyway!! Hehe, sorry for being goofy, but I had to get my excitement out, as I hardly ever receive any gifts, and never ever win any contests....ever!! I am a winner!!!!
As for the contest, well, it's better I didn't say what it was. Kind of silly and childish....but I still won, therefore I am special. ;)

Anyway, before I go to bed, I want to open a discussion here. What was the best thing you have ever won in a contest? Or if you were like me and had never won one, what was the best gift you've ever gotten?

I'd love to hear your stories. :)

Anyway, so I was just playing the very first Elder Scrolls game, Arena, for both nostalgia, and for storyline purposes. I'm still in Skyrim. That's where I'm starting from. I'm playing as a female nord, and hopefully I'll get through all of the regions of Tamriel in a month, lol. But yeah, I decided to remaster and change around the Skyrim theme just a bit, because it is my favorite music sequence in the game so far. I took the original midi and added a few things...plus, modified the instrument sounds/atmosphere. Click here to listen (Skyrim Theme)
EDIT!!! Here is another one too!!!! (Another Theme....forget which though)
And another!! (Main Theme)

If you all are really die-hard Elder Scrolls fans, I would highly recommend starting from the beginning and working your way up. :) I know the graphics suck, but the storyline was so extremely well thought out, and it will provide so many days of boredom relief. You'll also see many artifacts and characters that you'll hear about in the other games, so it's really interesting. :)
Tell me if I have what it takes to remaster the whole thing. :D

I really hope that 2011 has been a good year for all of you. Hopefully all of the good stuff that happened in this year will only be multiplied next year. Wishing you all a happy 2012...and hopefully the world won't end, hehe.
Anyway, as it nears the end of my vacation, I feel like I'm running out of time to complete stuff. I've been working on a choral piece for a few months now, which hopefully will be submitted on New Year's Day. I just want to set good tidings for the new year, which I feel will be the start of good things. I dunno why, but I really have good feelings about this coming year.
Anyhow, prepare yourself for great things to happen. I love all you great folks.
Happy New year! :D

Both were handmade entirely from scratch, using soundfonts, and my vocal. :)

Please give them a listen! I'd really like to hear what people think. :D

Just wanted to share with you all my two latest songs. I really hope that you enjoy.
Cheers!

Just figured I'd post, since it has been so long since I have. I know you all have probably been busy with school and work. I know how that is. Just really wanted to see how everyone is doing. Anything new? Sorry that I have been too lazy to look at everyone's updates. If only NG had a feature that would alert me when that stuff happens. Maybe I'll try to find some software that send me messages on you guys' RSS feeds or something. Anyway, not much has happened to me lately. I'm sorry again for my long absence. I hope that I didn't hurt anyone's feelings with being gone so long. It just sort of struck me out of nowhere, and I was without everything....computer and internet. But I'm back on at least for now. I love you all. I hope to hear from you, and I hope everything's alright. I've been working on some exciting new projects lately....a few songs in progress, and I'm also working on an extremely epic game which features so many sprites that it might just take me over a year to just complete the design aspect of it. Other than that, I have some artwork started on....dunno if I'll finish that, lol. If someone can come up with a really funny script, maybe I can animate a short to it. ;) I am a woman of few ideas, so I depend on all of you guys and gals for inspiration. But yeah. I love you all! I hope that your summer is as warm and delightful the one where I live is.
Cheers,

~Stephanie

I just posted a fairly epic, fantasy type classical piece. It is almost entirely instrumental, aside from some sound effects I added. I made it to submit to the Orchestral NAC. Please take a listen, and tell me your thoughts, if you get a chance. :)
