VGDJ: Shownotes #006

[00:39] Rayza shows us his inside voice... noice.
[00:56] How we almost didn't make it passed 5 shows... Rayza's moonlighting on the VGJD show...Aurora's lovely job on 005 (and by lovely we mean shitty)...our places in the VGDJ team (Rayza's gettin' a smackin')
[02:43] Oh yeah....why are you listening again? Oh right... we remind you :D (VGDJ is a podcast dedicated to the music and community of OverClocked ReMix...pssst pass it on)
[03:02] OCR employs monkeys...I mean judges... to ensure quality is upheld amongst the many submissions to the site. This week Malcos retired from duty... and in his replacement: SHNABUBULA! Congratulations!
[04:25] We made mention of the Chrono Symphonic project last week... they've made some updates! You can find interviews and profiles of the remixers by clicking....right.... HERE!
[04:56] *SNORT*
[05:02] OCR TORONTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! JULY 23, 2005 12NOON Thread in General Discussion Thread in Unmoderated Apparently, it don't matta if you're in the TO area... people from ALL OVER are coming... (even people from the orange places!) Its fantastic! Hotel instead of billeting (just dont' let Rayza pick the hotel)? Follow the threads (mostly the Unmod one) for complete updates!
[06:52] Lets talk about PROMOs ... Aurora explains who this Adam Curry guy is and why getting a promo on his podcast, Daily Source Code, would be good for not only VGDJ but for the OCR community. Have ideas? Write us!
[08:48] ReMix Review: From Sonic the Hedgehog: 'Marble Dash' by Joshua Morse
[10:54] ReMix Review: From Mega Man VI: 'Flurry of Frozen Fury' by Vurez. Vurez himself describes his mix and his other works.
[16:18] ReMix Review: From Dizzy the Adventurer: 'Mix Dizz' by Makke. Makke sent us some stuff to say about the mix... this music's so good you don't even need to know the game to appreciate it (much like all the mixes on OCR)
[19:09] The Rama Report! Brought to you by the good folks at ThaSauce. This week Rama (aka Doug Arley) brings us info on some random guy and his complete collection of Super Mario World covers! Actually, his name is Jason Cox (aka XOC)... check it out! **psst Rama laughs here and its really cute** NEXT: Darkesword has started up something ELSE?!? What's the matter with you boy can't you like just RELAX OR SOMETHING GEEEZE... *ahem*...He's started up a new mixing competition called Robot Master Remix Battle, a spin off of the IronMix Challenge, also created by Darkesword. In other news... OverLooked ReMix has posted its 100th mix!! Its called King of Pillows by Disk Mastah Smokabitch ... right.*Rama giggles again right here! CUTE.**LASTLY: ThaSauce has added the Calander Module (the new exciting feature Rama was talking about a while ago). Users can submit events that are going on for the next 10 days...FUN! Thanks, Rama!
[21:14] We talk about the new King of Pillows mix and Aurora displays her level of stupidity. Bad songs versus Joke Songs, its not just Rayza's show (even though he'd like to think so), and we pimp our own OverLooked ReMix!
[22:49] Russian ReMix Roulette: Random song picked from OverClocked Remix's front page feature. WE ROLLED a SIX!... but someone's gotta recode that module, man! This week's track was from Final Fantasy VI: 'Relm WeepyLoop' by McVaffe
[27:02] Rayza thinks he's special cuz his shoulder was in some silly zombie movie that just came out.
[27:50] Don't forget we need promo ideas!
