[00:00] Does djpretzel, in fact, have "it" going on? You decide!
[01:10] Step aside, pixietricks. zircon's vocal prowess is not to be ignored. Anyway! Things have simmered down around these parts, and so we're back to our normal audio format. Three cheers for pixietricks for the insane amount of work she did putting together last week's show, and a special thanks to listener Kroze who assisted in encoding it.
[04:37] We're considering setting up a donation method due to our continued influx of new listeners (we may break 1TB in bandwidth this month) ... if you have any suggestions or comments about this, feel free to pop us an email about it at vgdjpodcast@gmail.com . In the meantime, you can support us for free by spreading the word through our Cafepress store merchandise. Don't forget to visit our thread on OCR too.
[06:02] Toss us a vote on podcastalley as you kick back and enjoy the episode. We're still rocking the Music/Radio category, but it's all thanks to you guys, so keep it up!
[06:43] The Rama Report: News straight from ThaSauce: An Ocarina of Time remix project has been started by Nario and Link12548 of VGmix. Two new arbiters were added to ReMix: ThaSauce, community members EazyP and Cerrax. MagiNinjA has revamped the website for the OrmGas Remix Project. Finally, the joke Duck Hunt remix project "Repercussions of Fowl Lamentation" (RoFL) has been rereleased.
[10:32] It's the Rama Club theme!
[10:39] ReMix Review: From Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: 'I Don't Fight Boys' by Malcos, Red Tailed Fox ... Now, as you may know from previous episodes, we're not so great at math here at VGDJ. But we do know this much; two veteran remixers + one good source tune = slick, jazzy hotness. All right, so it had a Garageband drumloop in there, but that's definitely no reason to pass up on this awesome collab effort.
[13:50] ReMix Review: From Tetris: 'Thirty-Plus Mix' by R3FORGED ... Tetris and techno? Well, it might not be the most shocking combination around, but newcomer R3FORGED takes the concept and raises the bar with this badass trance ReMix of the often-overlooked B theme. The ReMixer himself was kind enough to leave us with his thoughts on the mix and give us the skinny on how the funk he produces his tunes.
[18:41] The Compo Report: PRC, TOMC, and FLMC.
[20:26] SEGA!
[20:30] Ah, the not-so-elusive OCR Site Project. Apparently, it's mating season for ReMix projects as there are more of them than ever before - at least ten currently that are well underway. Since it would take a whole show to go into each and every one, we picked out some of the highlights. We touched on Project Chaos (Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles), Summoning of Spirits (Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Symphonia), Milkyway Wishes (Kirby Superstar), and Children of Edrick (Dragon Warrior 1-3), all of which are shaping up to be very good.

Projects that have just gotten started can be tracked at the ReQuests forum - if you're interested in participating, this is the stage where you can hop in. All projects that have significant progress are located in the Site Projects forum.

[27:33] lol omg secrets revealed! zircon divulges a few choice details about the status of the FF7 ReMix project that he has been directing. A VGDJ exclusive. ;)
[28:20] The Meetup Report: What a dedicated minihost. DrumUltimA manages to give us a report even though he's on vacation! First up on the list of meetups is Shael Riley Live, which will be on September 21st at Fat Baby in New York City. The concert is at 9PM, but there will also be a traditional meetup the day after at Shael's house. Next is a barbeque hosted by Xerol at his residence in Timonium, MD on August 25th and 27th. Lastly, OverCoat is planning two meetups; one at the Penny Arcade Expo in Bellevue, WA on August 25th-27th, and another (a picnic) on September 2nd in Seattle. Check the thread for details.
[32:08] Russian ReMix Roulette: After briefly poking fun at the names of various ReMixers, we get right down to business. pixietricks elects to spit the die this week (as per the requests of our undying legion of fans), selecting a tune that is very dear to the both of us; GrayLightning's 'Chasing the Phoenix', from Xenogears.
[41:37] zircon and pixietricks yearn for the glory days of OCR, where men were men and ReMix titles were totally awesome. Then, has the tale of McVaffe's alter egos really been forgotten so quickly? zircon thinks not.
[46:00] Oh LES! You're our hero. You give us so much, yet ask for so little. <3
[46:27] This is among the things you didn't ask for.
[47:02] OK kids, we think that's been enough of zircon singing for one show. Since we don't have a special ep coming up next week (OR DO WE?) we're gonna take this opportunity to just relax. Anyway, vote for us at podcastalley.com, check out the Cafepress store, and gaze upon our lovely visages at our photo album. Until next week, this has been... vuhguhdihjh.
[49:35] VOICEMAIL: Max & friends, jdproject, DJAnubis, Fragment, Samuel L. Jackson, BlackMage, and Snooper_1989.
