VGDJ: Shownotes #055
[00:00] First contact with the "crybaby emos" has been made. A historic moment.
[01:18] IF-YOU-THOUGHT-THIS-WAS-ANNOYING, WE-WERE-CONSIDERING-USING-MICROSOFT-SAM-FOR-A-WHOLE-SHOW...
[01:49] *stretch* Ahh, now that we got some of that silly "real life" stuff out of the way, it's time to jump back into the fray - just in time too, as OCR1500 was recently released. By the way, spiffy video, huh?
[02:29] First show of the month = VOTE for VGDJ on podcastalley. It's easy, and every vote brings us closer to the overall top 10 list.
[04:25] TORRENTS! Take a trip down memory lane and check out previous episodes via this new (and bandwidth-friendly) method of downloading.
[07:12] The Rama Report: The Earthbound remix project, Bound Together, has been re-released with both new and updated material. Zeality has released an authoratative rip of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack that is more accurate than any other SPC to date. Xerol, CE, Jato, Fusion2004, and SgtRama have completed a 6-track original album made with FLStudio's "3xOsc" synth entitled Album6. Lastly, Brenden, an organizer of MAGFest, is seeking out suggestions for panels for the 5th iteration of the festival - contact him if you have any.
[11:27] ReMix Review: Tales of Phantasia 'The Koan of Drums' by djpretzel ... The 1500th ReMix to be posted to OCR, this is certainly a landmark mix, and Dave did not fail to disappoint. Ever since we first heard this back at the VGL meetup, we were floored by the massive energy of the percussion and the expansive arrangement, and we are just as impressed today. We consider this to be among djp's best; just listen to hear why.
[18:05] ReMix Review: Chrono Cross 'Reminiscence of Feelings' by Vampire Hunter Dan ... I say! We probably had a little too much fun with the 'baroque' theme here, but in all seriousness, this is a quality orchestral ReMix. It has a rather level set of dynamics, so if you're expecting a film score-esque Jared Hudson mix, you won't find it here. However, it's still worth a listen, so czech it.
[21:11] The Compo Report: PRC, TOMC, and FLMC.
[22:47] You know OCR1500? The one we've been talking about for over a month now? Well, now that it's finally here, there's a LOT to talk about. We go over the cosmetic changes to the site, new affiliations with companies like zzounds and eStarland (now managing t-shirts, yay!), ChipAmp, backend changes to the way the site is run, and more. The new ads might not be our cup of tea (heh heh), but still, very cool stuff. Here's to another 1500 mixes!
[30:46] The Meetup Report: OverCoat is planning a Seattle meetup for September 16th; no specific location announced yet. Two meetups are happening on September 21st, on opposite sides of the country: Trenthian's Video Games Live meetup in Los Angeles, and Shael Riley's live concert in New York City at the Fat Baby. The Toronto meetup is currently without an organizer, but it still planned for September 30th and could be centered around PLAY! as well. Finally, another Australia meetup is being planned, but there are no details yet; if you're interested, check the thread.
[34:22] Russian ReMix Roulette: Oh, the excitement! This was the first RRR ever to be performed in the middle of a tropical storm with both hosts on-site at the same time. The die of power was hurled into the air by pixietricks and subjected to the forces of the elements, but zircon faced the storm and risked his life to catch the die in a heroic manuever that will not be soon forgotten. The fated choice was revealed to be McVaffe's 'DeeJay's Caribbean Rave', from Super Street Fighter 2.
[41:15] You know that when pixietricks has some fuzz to stroke and zircon's off to play with his dice, it's time for us to sign off for the week. Our vote campaign has been working, as we just passed 100 votes for the month - a new record, possibly - so keep them coming. For more VGDJ goodness, there's our OCR thread, Cafepress store, photo album (ALBUM!!!) and of course, our new torrent system. Thanks for tuning in!
[42:59] VOICEMAIL: Abadoss, SgtRama, mouse story guy, Final Fantasy story guy, Fragment, FIFTY FIVE guy, Kento, OmegaSephiroth, Shivy, creepy yearning guy.
