VGDJ: Shownotes #041
[00:00] WOOO! It's our birthday :D
[01:07] We're comin' at you from the heart of Philadelphia! Fans from across the country have rallied to our call: Paul Owens, Paul Levering, Asif, Merk, Joel, Dave (Rudilcaper), Jerry, Cyan_Ide, Justin (gamerscalling), bustatunez, and José the Bronx Rican are all present for this special anniversary episode.
[05:22] The Rama Report: The pressure was greater than ever, but he pulled through for us in the end! A week of birthdays; Beatdrop turns 20, Rama turns 21, and VGDJ turns 1 (yay!). The OneUps announce that their next show will also be their last, for a variety of reasons. Finally, prominent game remixers Game Over releases their second album "NESperado", available for $6 from their website.
[08:10] ReMix Review: From Zelda 2: 'Mirror and Transparent' by Rellik ... Though only a few people at the meetup had heard this one (see folks? we're on the cutting edge!) there's no denying it's going to be a classic. Featuring nothing but default FLStudio sounds, this mix is highly energetic with a great arrangement and rock-solid production. Very enjoyable overall.
[10:59] ReMix Review: From Rayman 2: 'Disconnected' by chthonic ... It's certainly been a good week for electronic mixes at OCR! This is another excellent track with lots of cool percussion and a not-so-discrete "Yankee Doodle" cameo. What more can be said? It's YANKEE DOODLE!!!
[13:11] The Compo Report: We got to see Cyan_Ide! He's actually real, and he brought us the absolute latest in competition news LIVE; ORC47, PRC68, TOMC13, and FLMC2.
[15:47] We were delighted to see Paul Levering and Paul Owens, creators of PLAY: A Video Game Music Documentary, show up to this meetup, and we thought it would be a great time to get an interview with them. Paul & Paul explain the history of the film, where the idea for it came from, who's going to be involved, their current progress, and their plans, and they even answered a few questions from the 'audience'. Not to mention the whole thing was caught on tape by Asif, their cameraman. We got a sneak peak of the movie later in the day, but worry not - a clip will be available online soon, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on this very exciting project.
[27:09] The Meetup Report: Well, it's not live... but we love DrumUltimA anyway. The AU meetup that has been in the works, organized by V___, is finally coming together; location is still being decided. A possible Canada meetup in Alberta is being discussed, with Lionaje and Xelebes more or less organizing the event. Finally, GeoffreyTaucer is still gauging interest for his Parkour meetup, planned for Raleigh, North Carolina.
[30:45] It's the UK VGDJ Meetup! Hi guys!
[32:48] Russian ReMix Roulette: A fierce battle ensues on the peaceful greens of Rittenhouse Square! Tensions were high after we split off into groups, each person at the meetup selecting the remix they wanted to hear - but ONE MAN emerged victorious; zircon, correctly selecting Sonic 3D Flickie's Island 'Power Puppet' by Jivemaster. At last, the losing streak is over!
[40:50] Egads! It's a veritable array of messages and questions to deliver to djpretzel!
[44:17] Well, it's been a fun show, but now it's time to wrap it up. We hope you all had as much fun listening to this episode as we had recording it. Oh, and one more thing..
