VGDJ: Shownotes #051

[00:00] Our requests for karaoke may have ended with last week's episode, but OCR forum denizen EazyP doesn't let that stop him from leaving a heartwarming performance with us via voicemail.
[01:09] Ah, it's just little old us again. But don't get too used to it! Otakon (and another special episode) is just around the corner.
[02:16] Hey hey, it's a new month! Normally we would assume you guys know what this means by now, but with so many new listeners... well, you can never be too careful. Keep us high on the PodcastAlley rankings by voting for us there. It's easy, and there's no registration required.
[06:55] The Rama Report: He's early?! WTF? Anyway... Lockdown 2 at OCR was just completed, removing over 80 ReMixes from the site. However, those mixes can still be downloaded at "OC ReMoved" sites, such as those hosted by Xerol and Doulifee. OverLooked ReMix recently celebrated it's 500th ReMix to be posted. Finally, renaissance man and old-school OCReMixer Shael Riley performed live at a club in NYC on July 23rd and is planning more shows for the future. Rock on!
[10:30] ReMix Review: Just kidding :( Instead, we'll be playing clips from the winners of the latest three competitions on OCR, right after we go to the...
[11:25] Compo Report: FLMC, TOMC, and PRC.
[13:34] The winning entry of PRC72. From Mario Kart 64: 'Fat Man Meets Magic Turtle' by Moseph.
[15:26] The winning entry of FLMC2. Remixing Prophecy's "AirVille Theme", it's 'Angels Above' by Ghetto Lee Lewis.
[17:24] The winning entry of TOMC14. The theme was "magical cave", and Chris Serani nailed it best with 'Caves Are Dark'.
[19:24] Another contribution from a dedicated listener! Fragment was generous enough to record for us a 'report' of sorts on PLAY! - a Video Game Symphony, which he attended on July 27th in Philadelphia. Thanks!
[23:28] One could probably go their entire life without knowing about periodontal cysts, their location, or their psychological and physical effects. But where's the fun in that?
[24:26] Meetup Report: The community is as busy as ever, it seems! There are two (technically three) meetups occuring Aug 4-6 at Otakon in Baltimore, MA. Prominent OCR forum poster Nineko is organizing an excursion to the US and would appreciate some input; Los Angeles is an apparent starting point. A Salt Lake City meetup in Utah is being planned, with no definite date but a lot of interest. Mustin has proposed a meetup in Tulsa, Oklahoma for August 19th, centered around the Oklahoma Video Game Exhibition 2006 - note this has nothing to do with OneUp Studios. Lastly, a meetup in LA is planned for the Video Games Live show there on September 21st.
[30:32] Otakon panel!!! Yes! Our preparations are complete, and it should be very cool. Besides hangin' out and extolling the virtues of video game music, we'll be showing a slick Powerpoint presentation (w/ a medley of ReMixes of course) and doing some trivia with prizes. And, of course, there will be some live performances too: djpretzel and GeoffreyTaucer with 'Town Life', and your dear hosts with 'The Place We Knew'. 10am, August 4th... see ya there!
[33:12] Russian ReMix Roulette: A little bit of the old, and a little bit of the new. A solid roulette if we've ever seen one! (zircon edit: I must be stuck in a timewarp... I coulda sworn Revolver Ocelot was still on the front page) Now, we've gone pretty crazy lately when it comes to rolling the die, so a more down-to-earth roll was called for. We ended up with 'Vanilla Extract' by Goolancer, from the game Super Mario World.
[37:49] pixietricks and zircon ponder the implications of a Solitaire ReMix and what it means for the community at large; of course, even V's masterpiece cannot stack up to the horrors that lurk beyond the judges' panel in the OMGSOBAD folder.
[42:23] Time for us to relax before we launch into a weekend of meetup and convention goodness. Here's the obligatory link to vote for us in this new month of August. Don't forget to hit up our store while we're gone, regardless of whether you plan on going to Otakon or not. Also, be an informed listener and peep our thread from time to time: you never know what you might see there!
[45:54] VOICEMAIL: Ominous caller, mystery caller, Fragment, DrumUltimA, Fusion2004, garbled caller.
