Just listened to the soundtrack again. Again, it's an overall good soundtrack that's only hindered by the horribly intrusive fade-ins at the start of numerous tracks.

I just installed the game on a friend's MacBook running Snow Leopard, and I'm getting the same issues. The light beams which are supposed to be transparent are now solid blocks of color.

I'm happy to sign things if people want me too. It is just the logistics issue. I guess Alec would have to take the orders, send me the CDs then I would sign and send on to wherever they needed to get to.

What do we need? I can supply you with the packaging, the said item to be signed, the sharpie markers (I use the Industrial Sharpie for durability), the return label and a free drink from StarBucks as a thank you for signing and physically shipping it out. I recommend a Bannana Chocolate Soy Vivano with five pumps of Mocha to enforce the chocolate aspect. 

Oh, Alec. Is it possible to aquire a non-folded poster at my expense? The poster is fine, but the fold marks do wrinkle and chip the print thus making the presentation of a professionally framed piece of artwork a bit sour. If not that's perfectly fine too.

Depending on exactly what it turns out to cost, I might be willing to ship the disc (or just the poster) to her, and include a prepaid label for return shipping.  (I always used to use that kind of label when shipping legal docs back and forth for work; UPS, FedEx, and DHL all provide them...)

Likewise! Last thing I would want is to ask for something from these artists at their expense. I want to make this process the easiest it can be for the signers. I'm a supportive fan, dangit!

I'm sure she would... maybe we could work something out with her. The end result would probably ending up costing quite a bit due to all the shipping involved, however.

Well, good thing that won't be your problem.

What do you guys want exactly?

I like the idea of the poster being signed. Once that is done, I'll give it a foam back and frame it with Museum Quality glass that reduces light reflection. 

Hmm. I wonder if Jenna does signatures.

Curious fade effect I came across in the soundtrack.

"Track 15: Remains"

Remains is probably the most emotional track I've heard in the game. I went into the sound files and played that sucker constantly to clear my head. When I listen to the soundtrack rendition, I note that the loud 'bell' like sound (sorry if I got the term wrong) heard in the beginning has been faded out somewhat. The beginning of the bell was very profound and clear in the files, but the soundtrack only fades in after the bell starts.

Was this a creative decision? Was the start of the bell too intrusive?

Is there a price and ease-of-use equivalent alternative to ziplocs that you could recommend?

Doh, I'm sorry Alec. I didn't mean to make a fuss about it. It just took me by surprise. I've collected so many soundtracks in the past that I just didn't see it coming. I hereby turn down that statement. Besides, I didn't write correctly anyways. I meant to say "though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it made up for it".  I put that on my PowerMac Tower handle just yesterday.

If you'd like us to send you an alternate signed copy, shoot us an email at hello@infiniteammo.ca and we'll work something out. (we'll probably ask you to cover the shipping and the cost of the physical materials involved, whatever they end up being)

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable and worth while idea to me. Thanks Alec.

*Receives Package*

Ooooo! This is so great!

Very satisfactory package. I question the use of ziplocks, though the infinite ammo sticker with my name on it. 

The music is presented very well and I have very little complaints. The only element that got an "Aww man..." from me was the Intro having Naija's narration. Call me a blasphemous coward who doesn't understand the simple notion of a quality track, but I always break down crying when I'm listening to in-game audio rather than, you know, the music! Thankfully I won't lose sleep over this. I LOVE Jenna Sharpe's voice work on the Intro track for it perfectly sets the mood and theme of the game. I will gladly accept this vocal inclusion over the Spock voice over track on the "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Complete Collection" ending track (Darn you FSM!)

Overall, fantastic soundtrack. Thanks for the hard work!

Now, let's see what this signature thing is all about....

*Finds the Signature*

Huh? What the.... ALEC! I thought you were going to sign the CD booklet or the front of the poster, not on the back of the poster. How am I supposed to frame it now? Your signature is going to be on the back and no one will be able see it!

www.insidemacgames.com posted an article regarding this soundtrack on their website. I posted a comment of recommendation.

A digital release on iTunes may be in the near future, but we're pretty swamped right now

Well, unless he signs my hard drive, I'll be happy with my signed copies.

Well, Alec. You certainly impressed me with your dedication and honesty towards your product so I purchased two of the signature editions of the soundtrack. Good luck with your future endeavors!

yeah... but I bought the PC version as well

I did the same darn thing thinking it was hybrid. I have no regrets.
