Moonrakers "Name that Rush Tune"

[rickyrob]

There only appears to be a few people playing Moonrakers game. He must put a lot of time and effort into producing these....thanks Moonraker, it really is appreciated

 

Now, he has indicated that because of the apparent lack of interest, he may decide to stop doing them in the future

 

I enjoy doing his puzzle, but I somehow find it a little too difficult...but I still keep plugging on.

 

I am posting a poll to find out why people aren't playing his excellent game.

It is difficult, but not impossible and very compelling.

 

Its simply a 7.5 second (yes, thats seven and a half seconds) medly of 10 (yes ten!) different parts of Rush songs taken from any of their studio albums and put together into one mix. All you have to do is identify all the 10 songs

 

Perhaps we need a sticky to let people know of its existence.

[rickyrob]

Please can anyone who looks at this, vote?...even if it is just to say you don't wish to take part.

 

Many Thanks

 

Rick

I enjoy listening to the Rush clips and trying to figure out which

Rush songs they are from. I would like to thank RushRevisited,

1-0-0-1-0-0-1, and Moonraker for hosting these clip contests in the

past and present.

I feel that I should stay out of the clip contests from now on.

But, I'll play unofficially.

I'm new around these parts, but I am aware of the game and have downloaded the clip and given it a few listens. Just haven't had a chance to make some serious guesses yet. I shall play in the future if it stays around.

I like the game. I just believe it's too difficult. Call me weak or whatever, it's tough. I don't expect it to be easy and it's not. 10 songs in 7.5 secs...come on! LOL

I have Every audio tool to rip the thing apart and still can't figure it out.

[Slaine mac Roth]

I love this game so please keep it.

 

I've not made so many guesses this time for two reasons.

 

Firstly, I've had a stinking cold for a couple of weeks which has meant that my brain hasn't been up to figuring out what the songs are and -

 

Secondly, I didn't want to make a load of random guesses this time - I wanted to try and work it through properly.

[D-13]

First of all...my computers an ass....and it interuppts all downloads possible so I have been lazy lately...in fact I think I will go and download it on the other computer and send it in an email or something..lol Just too lazy..be be posting guesses soon!

This game is a blast. It's a little too difficult. Maybe 1 sec for each segment? How long were the clips in the old game RR used to host? Maybe Moon is just picking more obscure clips from the songs? I played RR's version all the time & it seemed much easier.

[Rolinda Bonz]

It's a great idea...it's just too hard. Give me the FIRST .75 second of the songs, and I'd fare much better.

[D-13]

Yea and its hard...lol or am I just a wimp!?

[Alsgalpal]

Ok, Ok, Ok!!!!! I'll play, thanks Rickyrob, make me feel guilty.

This is the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I don't want to appear critical of Moonraker, but I puul my hair out a lot with his game - but its totally compelling and I love a challenge so I keep going.

 

Moonraker, is it possible to either make the clips 1 second or try and keep the clips a little less obscure in future ones...maybe if you set a time limit, say 1 week AND limit the amount of officially submitted answers (say 5) for each person...(?)...just thoughts. There are currently (out of 12) 5 people who didn't know about this game....well its been made a pinned sticky now, so there's no excuse....come one guys 'n' gals, at least have a go, its a cool game.

[madra sneachta]

I play but I don't post.

 

I'd like to blame Moonraker, but I can't 'cause I'm as bad at this as I'm good with word games.

[LakesideMaiden]

Ive downloaded both tracks...I just run out of time to listen and try to figure them out! By the time I do, someone's already won...lol!

[afansince74]

I loved this game. Yes, it's hard, but for me, that was half the fun, a truely difficult challenge. It was fun and frustrating as someone else would come up with "the one clip" you just can't figure out, but you KNOW you know it!!

For me, it's a time thing. I haven't got any lately, it seems. Until just recently, I've been too busy to post anything like before. I'm only now just finding a bit of time to spend here other than a quick look(lurk).

If you have time and like a challenge, give it a try, you'll like it! Or it'll drive you nuts! Or BOTH! I'll be back when I can, for sure.

This seems fun, but I don't know how to find the samples!

Companion. The latest one has finished now. When Moonraker gets his act together and sorts another one out.....without silent bits!..... you will see a post appear in the Games Section...it should also be a pinned item from now on. He will give a link to click on - just download the mpeg file to your PC. If you want to listen to the last one, go to the first posts on Name that Rush Tune #2 and look for Moonrakers post with the link in it. Have fun

[sfuentes]

I just recently won, and the game is great! Excellent prizes!

It came and went before I realised it was there

I have 'complained' about this ( )

 

apparently its an awkward time to put on, say 12midday EST, which would mean the Western US (9am), and Europe (5-6pm) would all get a chance to listen to the clips, instead, I was giving it , as I expect you were, and Sfuentes had it all done and dusted before either of us could get into our nightmares. Lo and behold, I get up Monday, trip off to work, log on at work at 7am, only to see "Congratulations Sfuentes"

 

 

Anyway, heres to RR and Mooney

 

[Schro]

Next time I will play if I can, I didn't know or wasn't here for the previous ones. It does seem a bit too difficult, so I voted to make it a smidgeon easier.

 

Rickyrob - I'm looking to make my own contest sometime in the near future. Since you complained that Moonraker's start time wasn't the best, do you have any recommendations - on a start time that would be best for most?

I will happily email it to anyone who needs it; I am sure Moon would too.

Considering most people here on the forum are either in US/Canada or Europe, this covers about a 9-hour time difference (from western US -8 hr GMT to eastern Europe +1 hr GMT), I reckoned that the best time to cover everyone having a chance to view would be about 2.00pm EST. Over here in UK its about 7.00pm then (Europe 8pm). In western States its about 11.00am.
