Wherever I ask, I rarely get an answer, so maybe someone here has SOME idea?
What I want to know is, does anyone know EXACTLY when these will be available? In otherwords, when should I expect to see them ripped in FLAC and uploaded to FFShrine? :D
Apparently they're coming in "December 2011", but... it's nearly the end of the month and literally nothing. No tracklist, no information about when they're coming -- it's like they disappeared.
I ask at FFShrine. NO REPLY
I ask at Soundtrack Central. NO REPLY
I ask here. NO REPLY.
At least tell me I'm a dickhead, insult me, or something. Don't just... NOT REPLY!
No, I have no idea. I also looked at vgmdb, which is usually pretty good with this sort of thing, no more info there. Not even any discussion.

In otherwords, when should I expect to see them ripped in FLAC and uploaded to FFShrine? <- This might be the reason why no one wants to bother with it :P

Are you suggesting that FFShrine is full of illegal copies of free game soundtracks? <_<
I was going suggest the GFF, but I figured you'd have already checked there, or that it wasn't worth mentioning. And I agree, calm down. It hasn't even been a full day yet, so there's no good reason to get so upset about not getting an answer. I realize that frequently, questions do get answered within a few hours on this forum, but waiting a full 24 hours seems perfectly realistic, before you start going ballistic. Mouser X over and out.
That's a stupid reason.
@Mouser:
That's part of the reason.
The part where I said "All I've done is ask when they'll be available on the other forums."
What I MEANT was, that, on other forums, I asked when they would be available.
But it seems you maybe misread it as asking when the other forums will have it.
You sign up, and it says an e-mail has been sent. But how long does that take? It's been 5-10 minutes. Usually they're instant.
Also, note, just to remind you, I'm asking when it's released, not necessarily where I can find it. Although that would be nice to know as well.
Wait, what the heck is this?
"The email address ultimatekoopa@ukmidis.com was not found in the database."
So, what did I just type when I registered?
OK, now that's definitely right. It's probably 4-5 hours now. And not only have I not received the e-mail, they claim that the e-mail I registered with, is not in their database. That's one reason I can't stand the "your activation code has been sent in the e-mail". But that's not as bad as the "your account will need to be approved by an administrator", especially if said administrator is lazy, and/or isn't even on holiday. But the worst one... is when you register, and put your e-mail and username, but something goes wrong, like "Your username is too long", something like that, but for some stupid reason, your details are still added. So when you try and use a shorter name, "This username is already in use".
Anyway, I still find it odd how, despite the fact it's now December 22, and the soundtrack should be available this month, there is literally NO news whatsoever about anything, other than "it exists", "it has 43 tracks", "it's coming in December", and this is from October. Surely you'd expect a little more info, like a date?

However, that e-mail, that I was supposed to get about 3 days ago, to activate my account on Underground-Gamer?
That's right. It's still not here. But I'm not bothered about that.
Has anyone here seen a lossless rip of Donkey Kong Returns Original Soundtrack floating around? Perhaps in private trackers?

Now we just wait for them to be uploaded at some place.
Quick someone snag it

Hehe, I'm assuming they're exactly the same ones you saw, since the £6.39 is equal to $9.98 according to Google.
Wait, I just clicked on it and it says $9.99 -- these international things are confusing. US currency, on a Japanese item, on the UK site?

still, i don't know why Nintendo insists on making them promotional items rather than full retail. there's an obvious economic incentive that they're plain ignoring. if any game company can afford to publish soundtracks for their games, they can.
i am sure rips will emerge in time. they're popular games. keep your hair on TUK. throwing your toys out of your pram because you can't immediately get the albums you want illegally... what a abhorrent attitude. no wonder no-one replies to you.
Surely the fact that no matter where I look, NO ONE has the soundtrack ripped and/or uploaded anywhere, whatsoever... can't be related to my so called 'abhorrent attitude'. I don't know what you're reading, Lunar, but I see no bad attitude anywhere.
TUK: you're always throwing a tantrum, whether it's here, youtube, ds ultimate, vgmusic in the past or elsewhere. who are you even kidding? frankly it's your problem, i'm just giving you an explanation for why people might not want to bother paying attention to you.
[edit]
Whoops, wrong rein.
edited 8:36 PM EST December 30, 2011
In an effort to help you "rein it in a bit", I'll attempt to provide a few pointers:
Assume everything you type on the internet will be misinterpreted as offensive. Thus, in an effort to alleviate this (but unfortunately, you can't remove it entirely), always try to post things in the absolute nicest way possible. Sugar-coat it. Add some cream. And a cherry on top. Now, someone will still take offense at this, but at least it will be fewer people.
Second - use fewer exclamation points. People interpret exclamation points as either excited, loud, or upset. Honestly, shooting for "monotone" is probably your best option, on the internet.
Third - don't expect people to pay attention to dates/times. Even if a thread is a year old, and a new post shows up, most people will read the previous post (which is a year old), as though it was recent. If the previous post was a complaint, and the newest post is a complaint, people are going to assume that's all you do. Yes, it's a generalization, and a fairly bad one. However, it's very common on the internet, so you should come to expect it.
So, I'm attempting to be my best at not being rude. I'm attempting to help you realize there's alternative ways to say the same thing (using different words), without conveying anger/frustration/complaining. If I had my ICQ chat logs, I'd show you a conversation I had years back, where someone actually told me "That's the nicest I've ever had anyone ask to [expletive...] me." They were hosting a lot of VGM OSTs on their FTP, and a good 50% of them were ones I was looking for (and were somewhat hard to find, at the time I was looking). So I asked if I could download them. And yes, I was definitely asking to abuse their internet.... But I was NICE about it! So they let me get most of the ones I was looking for.
That "pointless" event was to illustrate that it's entirely possible to say/ask something terrible, and still have people appreciate you, and even respond in a respectful manner. Usually, it requires that you show respect to them in the first place (which, obviously, can be difficult at times, but is still possible). Hopefully, with so many people saying "This is a problem", you can start to realize that maybe, just maybe, it actually is a problem, even if you're unable to see it yourself. Hopefully I posted some useful advice. Hopefully I've even been a little helpful. Hopefully I haven't used the word "hopefully" too much. Mouser X over and out.
I'm done with trying to explain this. It's wrong of us to feel like you're a jerk because of something as vague as tone, but that's how it is.
But admittedly, 128 kbps MP3s are really low quality, right? Well for 2011 standards any how. Or is that just me? I just feel that if you're in 2011 and you haven't even got enough space to fit a few thousand FLACs, stop using Windows 3.1 :D
Now if only FFShrine didn't have 5 billion fatal/database errors every day.
Before you say there are other sites, that's not the point. I don't just go there to download songs, I do actually post in there, as you see. I'm also waiting for specific members to send me things.
EDIT: I didn't exactly remember it, exactly, I typed everything I could think of that I remember possibly changing it to, and eventually it worked, so yay?

so you donated to them then?
Wait,... you meant me, when you said "if only someone", right? Like if we were in real life, you'd go "Now if only someone would donate", and then you'd kind of glance over to me, as if to hint at me?
The server costs for Galbadia Hotel alone run into the thousands of dollars every month (purportedly from the admin)
Sorry for having an ASD... I can't help having a short temper, and you deliberately being a prick and trolling me on VGMusic so much I got angry and then my reactions got me banned. If I could help it, I would. But IIRC, in that topic about MIDIs being played on an XG Keyboard and being converted to MP3s or whatever, there was blatant trolling. I was hardly doing anything wrong and you and a few others were actually flaming me, and pretty much insulting me. And so I kind of forgot to say thank you. Did anyone ask me NICELY to thank them? No. You more or less tell me off as if I was some piece of shit.

stay calm
get out of your seat
go outside
come back when you completely forgot about your computer life
Now I await Lunar's inevitible "Boohoo, no one cares, fucking die" response.
I don't hate you Lunar (as odd as that may seem), I'm just perfectly aware that you don't JUST hate me, but actually have visions of me being brutally murdered, and are probably thinking "Just hurry up and kill him, the pathetic excuse of an unidentified object".

but stressis bad
you die earlier cause of it
to me you look like someone wo cannot controll himself [further no offence with that]
iam not telling you how to live
but look at yourself from another perspective
pollish up the sharp edges every one hates
wath seems totally normal in your eyes could be a irritation to someone else
i used to be an asocial asshole that swore all the time and only thought about himself
untill my brother showed me a compilation of recordes where he sneakyly recorded me
i was shocked and decided to be another person
i know everybody says: be who you are
but sometimes thats just not the best choiche
if you have the oppertunity, dont let it walk away from you
people used to hate me, i got bullied, had suicide thoughts, my family amost died like a branch braking of a tree
i myself am proud of myself of dropping my older life and start over again at age 15 [iam 16 now]
not only cause my childhood was a nightmare, also cause i didnt like the way i was [after realizing how much of a prick i was]
and if i didnt change, i sure would have been dead this day
nowadays, i see life in a different way than i did before
people no longer hate me, they like it when iam with them, iam no longer an add on, not somethin extra, iam a full stand alone program than functions on its own
please think about
as much as i am embrassed to be a human
id like to help them out, so will i help any other animal that lives in this world
iam a die hard atheïst,
but hate is not the way to heaven, its love
hate is not the way to peace, its using the right communication
please, PLEASE get out of your seat, go outside, do not come near technoligy and discover the world you live in and realize you're not alone
sorry for spamming the enters xD
sorry for eventual grammer mistakes, i assume you know why xP
Also, Lunar? Without being mad at me, honestly, is there actually a thing set up to donate to FFShrine? Like have they set up a PayPal account for donations or something?
iam a ''surinamer uit Den Haag''
a suriname guy from Den Haag [some random city in the netherlands], barely anybody belives it cause i look like a regular dutchman xD
anyway, good to know you have other things to do in life, since i really didnt knew wath else you did in life i assumed you where one of ''them'' [people who seriously LIVE behind their computer]
great to see you arent
i still think you should watch yourself and get rid of you stress by doing something that you like SO much, the stress will instantly vanish, also do something that has 100% accuracy, dont play your favorite video game, incase you screw up and go game over, it only increases the stress
so try something like listening some music or go have a conversation about something that like recently happend
and ehh, you can be outside, yes
but its just the matter of WATH you are doing outside
i go parkour trainging whenever i feel like and every time when iam done training, i feel so incredibely good, my day can no longer be broken
try to find your awesome 'thing' that you could do
if you dont move, you will feel depressed easyly [ive had it], just go do somthing active like basketball or anyother sport
trust me, sport is one hell of a drug, dont just let it be for wath it is, you gotta use it, otherwise you will die inside.
as much as i like video games, i dont get the kick i get from parkour when iam playing mario kart 64
the feeling 'this is fucking awesome' is something you acant find in technology, that specific feeling is an emotion and computers cannot give you those
everybody has a skill in a certern sport, use it!!
btw, waths the voluntary job you are doing?
Essentially it's quite an important job, and since it involves potentially confidential patient files, and other things, well... you know.
AS for games, I don't usually get overstressed on video games. I do get a bit frustrated over the 'cheap CPUs' on Mario Kart 7 on 150cc and above, but then so do many people :P
Also, hopefully Lunar will see this, and also one of my many flaws (if that's the correct word) is that I'm rubbish at apologies (I said this before somewhere recently), but basically, I'm sorry, Lunar. Mostly for that recent post.
i wasn't suggesting you should donate anything (you can if you want - i haven't and wouldn't, not to a site that is wholly illegal), i just wanted you to be aware of your sense of entitlement to everything. if you actually paid some money to the site, then maybe you could whine about it not working.
dunno how you interpreted that as "please someone murder him" but w/e. i was bullied in school too, FWIW. but i don't use it as a crutch.
I'm not using it as a kind of "I had a tough school life and it's made me very 'unstable'" excuse.
