VGDJ: Shownotes #060
[00:09] Thanks, anonymous Russian partner-in-crime.
[00:58] We're back, and blackidy black! Errr... wait, that's Wingless' line. Anyway, be thankful that you didn't have to suffer through episode 60 with a "snufflecon," because it would not have been pretty. Also be thankful that we've got our VGM promotion contest winners coming up later on the show. XD
[01:57] Proceeding with caution... You can reach us during the week through any of the following methods: www.vgdj.net, vgdjpodcast@gmail.com, 1-800-990-VGDJ, irc.enterthegame.com #vgdj, and our OCR thread. Plz do.
[02:46] Don't forget to vote for us at Podcast Alley this month, as we are a little behind due to aforementioned illnesses. (Damn you, snuffleconnnnn!)
[03:24] The Rama Report: Ooh, Rama, you sexy thang! Video game band Wave Theory, featuring such remixers as AE, Digimatic, and J:/Drive, has reworked their myspace page and added some live cuts of various performances they've had. Delish. The September chapter of the Dwelling of Duels competition has wrapped up, with ansgaros in first place. If you like the music of Silent Hill, be sure to check out the entries here. Everybody welcome master of words (and VGDJ fan!) "Ferret" to ThaSauce, where he'll be writing a weekly column on various subjects. And lastly, ReMix: ThaSauce has upgraded to version 2.0, so liek yay for it.
[06:46] (Note: VGDJ does not condone the illegal usage of drugs. Thank you.)
[06:52] ReMix Review: Chrono Trigger 'Antimatter' by Beatdrop ... Beatdrip? Beatdroop? Noooo, it's Beatdrop! Grab your earplugs, kiddies, cuz this is a loud 'un. (Note: VGDJ cannot be held responsible for any permanent loss of hearing.)
[10:27] ReMix Review: Shining Force CD 'Five-Sided Square' by Quinn Fox ... Veteran remixer Quinn Fox brings us a brand spanking new track from Shining Force CD. Electric piano, understated percussion, and parallel fourths... Minimalist, but good! Hope you enjoy.
[12:37] ReMix Review: Amberstar 'AmberTrance' by VIRTUALVIBE ... Watch as zircon butchers the original composer name! Live trance; who knew it could be this fun? Kinda makes you wanna get up and dance, no? A nice debut from Mr. Beat Gregoric.
[15:24] ReMix Review: Cave Story 'Escape Route' by Corran ... First Cave Story remix evarrrrrr! It's pretty swanky, too. Some beautiful flute work from Corran in this 60's rock arrangement, as well as an interesting drum solo towards the middle. Groovy...
[17:55] ReMix Review: Mega Man 3 'Blue Balls' by Sukotto42 ... Oh my, what a remix title. Are we supposed to compare the music to a certain painful sensation sometimes experienced in the male anatomy? I guess that works... It's definately a "high-tension piece," melding many a source tune from the game. While pixietricks may not be able to identify, she can use her keen "female" qualities to empathize with the poor opposite sex.
[22:26] ReMix Review: Final Fantasy 'Fire Cross' by LuIzA ... Um, girl power? This remix, winner of the January Dwelling of Duels competition, is not what you'd expect from a softspoken Brazilian woman, now is it? Well, sucks to you, because LuIzA definitely knows how to rock. Get your napkins handy, fellas, because this one's sure to make you drool.
[26:41] (The things our listeners will do to be heard on this show... o_O)
[27:28] Compo Report: PRC, CMC, FLMC, TOMCXI, and Anime ReMix.
[30:57] Duuuude! Spring break at VGDJ.net! WOOO!
[31:03] The biggest, baddest, and flat-out nerdiest convention is coming up, and this year OCR will be attending in full force. It's none other than MAGfest 5! This January 4th through the 7th, expect the best iteration of the gaming/music festival yet. If you're interested in joining the discussion, seeing the guest list, or figuring out transportation/sleeping arrangements, hit up the announcement thread on OCR... courtesy of pixietricks!
[35:17] Russian ReMix Roulette: zircon begins to grow uneasy with his lack of die-rolling in recent times (he is po' after all), but the dice were apparently not rigged as no one correctly guessed the track that was chosen; Darangen's "Falling Back" from Zelda 64. Oh well. We're not complaining. :)
[42:39] The winners of the contest we started on Episode 059 are announced! We asked you guys to submit to us tales of the craziest things you've ever done to promote OCR, VGDJ, or video game music in general. But we got so many submissions, and there were so many good ones, that we decided to pick five winners instead of three. So here they are, in no particular order: Andrew Anderson (put up post-its that said ocremix.org all over his school), Brandon "MidgetMe" Duckett (got video game music played on four local TV stations w/ 33k+ viewers), Kanthos (worked in video game music into his accompaniment part for a musical), MadMax (put OCR and VGDJ stickers on his notebooks and etched "OverClocked ReMix" into a dog tag), and Abadoss (brought a CD of ReMixes for his entire aerobics/dance class to exercise to).
Congratulations guys! If you were one of the five winners, remember to email us with your address, shirt size, and what kind of shirt/hoodie you want. For everyone else, thank you very much for participating. Keep on giving this community the attention it deserves!
[50:47] Oh no, we're senior citizens! That means... uh... huh... what? Where are we? What are you young whippersnappers doing here?! When we were your age, voting at PodcastAlley took five hours! Both ways! And we didn't have one of those fancy-schmancy OCR threads or photo albums either. You kids get off our lawn!
[53:26] VOICEMAIL: Kento, Fusion2004, Zero the Ultimate Warrior, Pokemon song guy, DJAnubis, DrumUltimA (heart), Valerius, prophet guy.
