Yes, me too. Sounds like creator wants to get on top of it and clean all that up, so I hope this kickstarter succeeds. Great project and I want sublime support! :) Backed.
Basically, it turns out there's more 21-35 year olds on the internet who are hopped up enough on caffeine to answer the survey they ran into while browsing the internet. Consequently, I feel almost any survey done on the internet in this fashion will include this distribution of respondents.
If you're canadian, or from quebec in particular http://globecite.com and http://www.hosting-canada.ca/ are really good and have good support. I think they're run by the same company, and they're not going anywhere.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and I have respect for yours. That being said, the idea of anyone not being able to enjoy radiohead makes me sad. Give them another try! :)
Like with anything, creativity can spawn some really good 8-bit music that isn't only re-hashed zelda tunes. For a good starting point, have a look at that documentary I posted in the comments, I used to think it was just "living in the past" until I watched it and looked up some of the music.
Y'all should watch this video : http://www.vimeo.com/3734864 . It's an excellent documentary on the chiptune scene. Do a search on vimeo for part 2 and watch it before someone pulls it off.
Correction: No, not essential but someone will eventually treat you like shit because you don't speak french, and it's going to be offensive and feel like overt racism, but it'll happen rarely. </rant>
