VGDJ: Shownotes #044
Before we get started, it's worth noting that last week's Video Games Live episode actually got made into a front page feature at OCR and was sent to various related media outlets (rock on!) Also, as you may have noticed, not only did Tommy Tallarico comment on our site about the last show, but he even made a thread on OCR about VGL and has been pretty active there answering questions and responding to our posts. Thanks, Tommy! Lastly, we noticed that the VGL site has been updated with info and pics from the Philly show; we were mentioned and linked to, and pictures are up there as well.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming... :>
[00:00] A timeless mystery: WTF is Ryu saying?!
[00:54] Our hosts are pumped up for a butt-kickin', Street Fighter 2-themed show. In fact, with your help, we've fought our way to the top of the music charts on PodcastAlley. So just keep those assists coming and we'll be one step closer to 'world champion'!
[04:28] The Rama Report: May results for Dwelling of Duels are in (goat came in first) and June's DoD theme is Goemon, Mystical Ninja. VGM remixer xoc releases a new, experimental album. zyko has also released a new album of original music, entitled "Survival", at VGmix. Rama has finished an OCR skin for Winamp 3, but more importantly, has been working with Dhsu on an OCR-skinning and customization project called "OverClocked ReMix ReMix".
[10:37] ReMix Review: From Metal Slug 2: 'No Need to Reload' by RoeTaKa ... After numerous very close attempts at getting a ReMix on the site, this was the winner for Roe, and for good reason! This mix is a high-octane, over-the-top synth rock track that can be easily likened to the energetic remixes of S.S.H. The gritty and edgy sound might not be everyone's favorite, but there's no denying the quality of this one.
[14:27] The Compo Report: A slightly sickly Cyan_Ide encourages us to participate in and vote on various competitions: TOMC13, FLMC2, PRC69, and ORC48. Awwww, snufflenutters! ;_;
[16:56] Video game music and radio? Inconceivable, but it's true! GameMusicRadio features 24/7 streaming VGM (American and Japanese), as well as two radio shows that can be downloaded on demand, much like ours. Meanwhile, RadioSEGA is a UK-based internet stream also featuring 24/7 music (of course, only SEGA tunes) with no talking. If you enjoy our show, give these two virtual stations a listen.
[19:57] The Meetup Report: Australia meetups are being developed, with a definite Sydney meetup on July 1st at the Town Hall steps. Perth and Briz-BUN meetups are also planned for July, but have not been set in stone.
[23:03] Russian ReMix Roulette: Will zircon's fantasy of seven-sharp piano music be fulfilled? What about pixietricks and her deep-rooted TO bias? The answer is a resounding "NO"; oh well, even the presence of Tommy Tallarico couldn't help our luck, so we don't feel so bad. Anyway, orkybash's mix isn't bad either - from Final Fantasy 6: 'Ruined Skies'.
[31:52] Shael Riley: veteran ReMixer, community hero, and director of the Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo Project, Blood on the Asphalt. He has joined us for an extensive interview covering the concept of the project, its history, the ups and downs, and much more. Thanks for the interview, dude! Awesome job to everyone involved. Also, check out Shael's original album, jam packed with ridiculous fun!
[53:01] VOICEMAIL: Thanks Rama, Rexy, and Fusion2004! As you can see from Rexy's example, international callers ARE in fact able to reach our number. If you're British, this should work for you:
* Dial the access number for calls to the United States - check here for the number, which sometimes changes once in a while.
* When it says "please enter the number you would like to call and finish by pressing the hash (#) button" you just type 00 and THEN the VGDJ number. In this case it's 001 800 990 VGDJ (8435 if you can't see any letters imprinted on your phone).
* If you hear the VGDJ intro music followed by our hosts speaking about the answering machine, you know you're at the right place.
