[RM2K] Weird problem with only some midis not playing

So I'm using Windows 7 and I open this midi in Windows Media Player... nothing plays. I open Rm2k and try and play it there, but still nothing. I open it in Quicktime Player and the midi works perfectly fine almost perfectly fine (there's this one instrument coming through that's jarring as hell).

How do I solve this problem? Is there some way for Rm2k to use the same driver setup that Quicktime Player uses? This only started being a problem for some of the midis that I was using for my game when I made the jump 7 from XP.

Lunatics with guns, domestic terrorists and homophobia...

50 killed and 53 injured at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida by a man claiming to be a member of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. The worst shooting in American history since the Virginia Tech massacre of 2007.

Homophobia is still alive and well. Let's stay strong and keep the faith alive of a better future.

Incentives for reviewing commercial games.

For the sake of doing the commercial market a favor and to encourage others to take these kinds of things seriously, should we implement a makerscore boost for reviewing commercial games? Like 100 or something instead of the usual 50? People need to know what they're getting into before they buy as opposed to freely download for obvious reasons and we should be encouraging others to give an honest take on some of the better or worse products out there.

[Poll] Star Kart - If this ever became an actual thing, would you buy it?

[Poll] Hunchback of Notre Dame or Phantom of the Opera?

Timeless "monsters" of literature that are more than what meets the eye. Shunned by their people for their grotesque appearances and banished to places only few will ever see. One, a bell tower of a cathedral; another, the cellar of an opera house. The first time you come in contact with them, you turn away in disgust, but slowly you come to understand the beauty that lies beyond the facade and rough edges imposed on these gentle souls by their separation from the world and its ways. They may not understand what it means to function in a proper and dignified society, but they do know what it means to be dreadfully alone with only a small glimmer of the wonders of freedom and happiness beyond a dusty window.

This is what makes them so relatable, despite having circumstances only few of us have ever experienced. So...

When do you grow up?

We're not talking about age, because we all know at least a handful of adults who act like children. No, we're talking maturity. Honest-to-God, experience-fueled adulthood.

An example I can think of is the moment your mother confirms that you were indeed an "accident" and that she thought at least once during her pregnancy of having an abortion for one reason or another, and you've experienced enough to know what all you would have missed out on had she gone through with it.

Please no stupid answers. Let's get philosophical.

Pastor has a beef with Starbucks

I wish to all that's holy that this is a true story. That people are seriously this stupid.

Just ask for a double-shot. That's service with a smile. ;)


"Why is this a thread" :V

"We're not dead yet!" Love blossoms in a retirement home.

Two elderly couples have found that special one for the second time in a Fort Worth retirement home. I say 'mazel tov', although the marriages are bound to be short. What do you say?

Dumb childhood thoughts.

What are the dumbest things you remember thinking as a child that made some semblance of sense at the time?

I used to think a "serial killer" (don't ask me why that phrase was in my vocabulary) was someone who drove around and shot holes in Cheerios billboards. It's pretty obvious now where I got my wires crossed.

Now you.

Cracking the Five Nights At Freddy's Code (Spoilers)

If you've got a good theory that ties everything together and might even give some insight into what the fourth game has in store, do share it below. Although I've never played the games, I've heard of them and picked up on a few things (most notable of which being MatPat's videos detailing the series and its likely timeline).

As all of us stand on the shoulders of giants, I threw in a couple more pieces and ultimately came up with this. I think it's fairly sound if you dismiss the implication that the protagonists names and the dates seen on the checks at the end of each game are supposed to be your own instead of snippets of the past as is the case with the rest of the series' documents.

Hidden for spoilers (I trust the rest of you have the good sense to do likewise with your findings)

Fnaf 4: Story origin
Animatronics Status:
• Fazbear and "Mangle" Foxy Completed/Functioning
• Bonnie as a prototype for future inclusion with restaurant's growing popularity
Events:
• Purple Guy is hired
• Purple Guy is attacked by Foxy (Bite of '87. Also where Purple Guy starts developing his future bias towards Foxy as revealed in the recordings (a form of stockholm syndrome)
• Purple Guy goes to hospital where they piece his brain back together (he's never the same after this)
• Purple Guy comes back and starts killing kids as Golden Freddy
• Spirits of kids chase after Purple Guy who hides inside Golden Bonnie and is crushed to death (A phone call informs the player of Purple Guy biding his time in a room while the animatronics bang on the door. This could be him tampering with the Golden Bonnie suit to allow him to fit in it and hide, though it all goes wrong and the suit constricts around him due to the missing mechanisms keeping it in place)
• Room is boarded off and restaurant eventually closes

Fnaf 3:
• Springtrap (Golden Bonnie) is found in abandoned Fazbear Diner along with prototypes and misc supplies. These are found strewn around Fazbear's Fright during the game.
• As evidenced by a previous theory, Springtrap approaches the player in order for them to "free/save him". Springtrap's demeanor during the death sequence would appear that he's less prone to immediate violence than the vengeance-drive animatronics that follow.
• Purple Guy's brain has deteriorated during his time spent locked away as Springtrap, resulting in the zombie-like level of reasoning that I believe this theory aludes to.
• During the game's bad ending, the player didn't put an end to Springtrap and the childrens spirits haven't been avenged, leading to Fnaf 1. In the good ending, Springtrap has been destroyed along with the building during a fire and the childrens spirits are at rest.

Fnaf 1:
• First rendition of the official Freddy Fazbear's Pizza opens. Prototypes have been finished by restaurant chain producers and are released as Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy, though Foxy falls into disrepair.
• Purple Guy's spirit now inhabits Golden Freddy which would explain his ability to teleport into the room while the doors are closed (paranormal activity). This is a callback to his murderous origins. This also fills in the Purple Guy's need to come back as he "always does".
• 1/9/8/7 resulting in a Golden Freddy death screen is a double reference both to the Purple Guy himself and him being the victim of the Bite of '87 which angers him resulting in the player's death. The handprints on Freddy's face are also symbolism for his ties to the Purple Guy and his fate.
• Through the game, the animatronics are trying to stop the security guard from doing his duty out of their quest for vengeance against the last security guard who killed them (Purple Guy). Holding them off results in their eventual "tampering" and the security guard's being fired.
• Obviously the protagonist doesn't actually tamper with the animatronics as he's always kept himself away from them until 6 AM each day. Instead, the spirit of Purple Guy used his knowledge of the inner workings of the animatronics to tamper with them and dismantle them (perhaps to use the wreckage to piece back together his favorite animatronic, Foxy).

Fnaf 2:
• Second rendition of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (the grand re-opening).
• Technologically advanced animatronics are built to be able to reference from a criminal background database and identify people accordingly (implied present-day setting). Animatronics are also redesigned to be more sleak and appealing to a modern audience (Toy Chica also gaining a very feminine figure compared to her earlier version which may be the result of a societal movement towards sexual openness).
• Purple Guy now inhabits the body of "The Puppet"; its appearance a physical manifestation of the tortured/crying children that he murdered (he now carries the same face).
• His ties to the puppet are furthered solidified with him being the sole animatronic (besides Foxy*) to react to the security guard regardless (or perhaps, especially) of the Fazbear mask the player can hide behind, which - like Golden Freddy's 1/9/8/7 death screen in Fnaf 1 - is a sign of anger or an act in retaliation to perceived mockery.
• Once again the security guard does the Purple Guy's bidding in holding off the animatronics, resulting in the store being closed for good.

*Foxy and the Purple Guy are closely linked following the events of the Bite of '87. This plays a role throughout the entire series.


So yeah, let's see what we can come up with before Fnaf 4 comes out this Halloween.
