VGDJ: Shownotes #058
[00:00] We're prepared for any and all bad jokes that may arise from recent developments. :)
[01:05] Extra, extra! Stop the presses! Two new judges on the panel? And pixietricks is one of 'em?! Yay! Judge Jilly will surely be a force to be reckoned with as she metes out justice in the form of stern NO votes.
[03:09] Just as a reminder, we do accept Paypal donations at the address: vgdjpodcast@gmail.com - so if you like the show, even a small contribution would be appreciated. Alternatively, you can peruse our thread on OCR, as well as our non-profit Cafepress store. Also, vote for us at PodcastAlley!
[04:23] Like VGDJ, but missed out on some older eps? Then check out our torrent page, where you can pick up all the previous episodes in groups of 10 at a time. Seeders wanted!
[05:17] The Rama Report: AmigaRemix has unveiled a new site design! OCR forum member Global-Trance has released a downloadable version of Nintendo's press kit for their new system, the Wii. The first ever "Dwelling of Chiptunes" contest has been announced by Jredd, which should delight at least a few of ya. Lastly, Xerol recently started up a game of musical telephone on OCR, mimicing the children's game of the same name.
[09:10] ReMix Review: Double Dragon 2 'Twin Blood' by Sixto Sounds ... Dayum! Mr. Medrano (aka "Sixto") may not have been around for as long as ReMixers like goat or SnappleMan, but he's just as good at creating kickass guitar ReMixes. This one ain't for the faint of heart; you gotta be metal to the CORE. Or somesuch. Anyway, as an added bonus, Juan dropped us a line and went into a little more detail about this most awesome ReMix.
[13:40] ReMix Review: Metroid Prime 2 'Torvus Clockwork' by Darkesword ... In stark contrast to the ReMixes that were posted before and after this one, Darkesword brings us a markedly lighter track. New agey goodness abound! We suspect a bit of Wingless influence, mayhaps, but Shariq didn't send us a clip... so I guess we'll never know!
[17:20] ReMix Review: Castlevania 3 'Froggy Mosh' by goat ... Whether you like Castlevania, guitars, frogs, OR moshes, you will most surely take pleasure in this rock mix. goat's got a distinct style that he's been perfecting for years, and if you dug this track (we did!) then you'll have a load of fun over at his website, which has a good deal more tunes, many of which aren't on OCR.
[21:08] Compo Report: FLMC, TOMC15, TOMC X1, and PRC. Excitement on the competition front, eh?!
[24:17] ReMix Projects are cool and all, but the real excitement is on the forums. Yea! Two site projects of interest include the collection of new forum avatars for the upcoming vBulletin change, and the OCR Mascot Bio Project. To tell us more about the latter, listener Andrew Anderson recorded a brief report for us. Thanks bro!
[28:43] Meetup Report: Video Games Live LA, the Toronto meet, Super Smash Brothers Melee Tournament in San Jose, Sydney (October version), Brazil, Pittsburg, and Saskatchewan. Wow.
[33:05] Russian ReMix Roulette: Thankfully, our blood caffeine levels appear to have dropped back to normal for this RRR... sort of. We had one of the most intensely awesome roulettes ever this week (except for one), so the pressure was really on. Luckily, fate averted disaster and analoq's Sonik Azure from Sonic 3 saved the day.
[42:05] *Three* judges for the price of one. It's unbelievable! big giant circles - aka Jimmy Hinson - joins us for the rest of the show, making sure that people know he's not just the "new judge who isn't pixietricks". He gives us the lowdown on how he discovered OCR and started ReMixing, his personal and musical background, what's up with his drawl, and more. Also, both he and pixietricks offer their insights into what it's like to be a new judge, and more importantly, they discuss with zircon how one properly formats a NO vote. Hey, it's an important decision!
[53:55] bgc helps us close out the show, and even he knows that y'all should be voting for us. Thanks again for coming on, Jimmy!
[56:14] VOICEMAIL: Kento, Salty, "the principal", postulating guy, Shivy, and shawnphase.
