I think I'm getting better. Hooray!

I can't really be bothered to say much tonight, though, just so you know. The two part series 6 opener of Stargate SG-1 aired on Wednesday. It was called Redemption, and it was really good! Jonas is hilarious, with his weather channel viewing and his constant eating. And to think I had doubts! Maybe they should have gotten rid of Daniel earlier - I can't really remember much that happened in the fifth season, so it can't have been great...

Apart from that, I managed to rip the music off of my Max Payne CD-ROM. I combined two things I'd read on different websites, and also used my brain slightly. You need the RASmaker program, which comes on the CD. I couldn't actually get it to work properly under Windows XP - it needs a command prompt, and you know how Windows XP and DOS feel about each other... Anyway, if you've got that installed, go to the start menu and choose "run". Then copy the following into the box:

"c:\program files\max-fx tools\rasmaker\rasmaker.exe" "-x" "c:\program files\max payne\x_music.ras"

Type that exactly, including the speech marks, then click okay. And it'll extract the stuff into the RAS data folder! Excellent.

There are 13 bits of music, some of which are slightly abrupt since they were made for in-game excitement, not listening to with Winamp. :)

But the Max Theme is 3:44 of top notch game composition. And I'm not just saying that because of my affinity with the game.

Woo-hoo!
