About Me


I own a FamPuter, which is a 100% fake Famicom. And I do own Super Mario Bros. and Rockman 2 for it, which you don't. :P



I'm a 32 year old gamer. I cannot hang out with most of you, and you should not contact me to buy you cheap wine or cigarettes. I do not like jail. Seriously, I own all three consoles and I don't discriminate. Gaming is for fun, not for sissy slapfights. If you consider yourself partial to a particular console, I don't care why you don't own other consoles, I don't want to hear about it. If you're going to bitch about something, you'd better bring some hard evidence of why you're complaining if you want to cry on my shoulder.

Enjoy this wonderful picture of 2 generations coming together at last...

Trent loves you all and wants to prove it to you the only way the man can.

By screwing over the record executives AGAIN.

God I love NIN.

I hope more and more big artists get the message with Trent's efforts and see that despite the absence of their safety net of the record management company that artists CAN make a living

Trent really does have his finger on the way records should be distributed.

Radiohead didn’t pioneer the whole free thing, but it now seems that they’ve popularized it / started a trend. Good on you, Trent!

I would probably never purchase a regular NIN album release, but I'm going to PayPal him $5 just because I like the way he thinks.

I heard he uses BitTorrent to download music.

I don't even like his music but I'm downloading it anyway because the statistics add up. And because it's Creative Commons licensed.

Yeah. I haven't enjoyed listening to him since I became an adult with actual problems but I'll download this just to give record companies the proverbial finger.

So The Crimea gave away their second album free, Radiohead gave away an album for free and milked it for all it was worth, the new Coldplay single is free and now a NIN album free?

I like how this new music industry is going.

Oh dip they're distributing the FLAC files with BitTorrent. That rules in words that don't even exist in our language.

I don't even really like NIN, but this man is making me a fan. Radiohead is cool and all, but it's people like Trent, who are really committed to this sort of change, that will help change the industry. Hats off to him.

for those that didn't know, he also gave away his 2cd all instrumental album "ghosts i-iv", for free a few months ago.

As I understand it, that wasn't exactly the same. That album was more similar to Radiohead's experiment. I believe Trent was offering it for free, but also giving the option to pay $5 or more for it. This album, on the other hand, is simply referred to as being totally free, nothing requested in return. So this one is actually "more free" than the previous one.

Only Ghost I was free. Ghosts II-IV was sold for a nominal fee from NIN themselves, with separate options to spend more money for better editions. This is essetially his thanks.
