[BLEAH] Gamers—get ready, get set: Magfest is only a couple months away! The event will be held at the Doubletree hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia from January 13th through 15th. Room registration is now available online, so don't worry if you can't find a buddy to split the cost. They'll find one (or more) for you! ^o^
[MLEAH] And now for something completely different. Or at least...not exactly the same? (Wow, sorry, blonde moment there.) Anywho, shed no tears, ex-VGL'ers, for now we have PLAY! to look forward to! Vat ees zis, you ask? Why, it's another traveling symphony of the video game sort. But this one's going global! Like...woahhhh... Hear all your favorite game music tunes in all their orchestrated glory, starting "sometime" Spring 2006 (specific dates and locations have yet to be disclosed.) In the meantime, you can check out the special interview feature at 1up.com for more info, and sign up for their mailing list. You can bet this one'll spawn some OCR meet-ups, too.
[BURP] Speeeeeeeeaaaaaking of which- Washington D.C. meet-up! This Saturday. 2 pm. Foggy Bottom Metro stop. Will you be there?
[FART] (Trumpet fanfare) Time for the weekly remix Compo Report, provided by the talented and oh-so-reliable Mr. Cyan_Ide. Check out these threads for the intimate details: ORC, TOMC, and PRC. (Anybody else think Cynie deserves a special intro?)
[MGOP] ReMix Review: From Zelda 3: 'A Link to the Piano' by Zoola... What's with all the Zelda mixes lately? Oh yeah. Most popular games ever? Anyway, take 5 minutes out of your day to listen to the entire piece, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. This piano arrangement incorporates a total of *six* source tunes— holy moly!
[FNERF] ReMix Review: From Doom: 'Jade Spawn' by Bladiator and TO... This rad mix, featured on The Dark Side of Phobos remix project, finally reaches the front page of OCR. Dark, spooky, atmospheric, it's everything you could possibly want in a Doom track, and with professional polish to boot. Well done, guys. XD
[LLEKE] Rama-Loo, where are you? ;_; ........ThaSauce. Yeah.
[RFOFN] Russian Remix Roulette: Random song picked from OverClocked ReMix's front page feature... This week's show, once again, is a double header! Pretzel's been too busy sleeping off the Thanksgiving feasties to post many new mixes, I see. Anyway, Rayza and Pixie each win one with their respective roles of four and five. Please buckle your seat-belts for Magical Drop 3 'Drum 'n' J-pop' by Zertatul and Final Fantasy 9: Messenger in the Key of Black by lightwarmth! It's gonna be a ride.
[WUT] Sorry, dudes. We're gonna talk about shopping now, okay? And we're changing the name of the podcast to Queer Eye for the Gamer Guy, too. kthnxbye
[TTEJE] Oh yeah, by the way... the Chrono Symphonic release date has been pushed back yet again, to early December. Maybe we're jinxing ourselves by trying to announce it on the show? So from now on, let us not utter the sacred words, in hopes that Compyfox will one day surprise us with a finished project.
[DONT] In other news, Rayza wants mugglecast to suck his hogwart. So please vote for us on Podcast Alley starting Thursday when the new month begins, otherwise his sanity will be lost! ^_~
[ENE] (Hmmm... Looks like Pixie's lost it already... ¬_¬) See ya next week!
[NEINN] VOICEMAIL: Some awesome guy..
[ZRTT] [stinger]

[00:00] Gobble gobble!
[01:09] What's that? A new remixing contest forum is coming to OverClocked ReMix? Why, how exciting! Like PRC, ORC, and TOMC, this new contest will be open to all for submissions (and for voting!!). Entries will be based on some sort of source tune or thematic idea, although we aren't sure of the format yet. But stayed tuned!
[01:31] Just a little reminder that Chrono Symphonic is, once again, shooting for a November release! Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Chrono Trigger, this site project will feature a compilation of remixes in the vein of an orchestral movie soundtrack. Until its official release, you can check out the website, or visit Zeality's Chrono Compendium where he has done a special feature on the project, including some sweet remixer interviews!
[02:23] Looks like some dude over at Something Awful caught on to the OCReMix scene...only...backwards? Instead of remixing videogame tunes in new styles, he's covered popular songs in the style of the old NES sound fonts. Tracks include Sweet Home Alabama, Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven, Karma Police, and much more! Check it out, yo.
[03:05] The ex-Video Games Live Washington D.C. meet-up approaches with speed and stealth! Saturday, December 3rd, 2:00 pm at the Foggy Bottom metro station (Blue and Orange Lines) at 23rd and I-- be there or be square! (Come on, don't you want to meet meeee? djpretzel?) XD
[04:04] As you may have noticed, Aurora couldn't make it for this week's show. Why? She has just moo-vee'ed to Toronto for her new job as a weather girl! Soon you may not just be listening to her sexay voice on VGDJ, but watching the whole her on television! (OMGDROOLX0R)
[05:02] What's new in the world of OCR's remixing competitions? Cyan_Ide's weekly report tells all. But don't be afraid to see for yourself: ORC34 (the last one), ORC35 (the newer one), TOMC7, and PRC55. Listen, vote, get involved! ^_^
[7:13] ReMix Review: From Zelda 3: 'A Rose for Zelda' by Tepid ... Newcomer Tepid brings us a lovely guitar arrangement of Zelda's theme. Accoustic for the first two minutes but then breaking into some layered electrics and ambience, this mix truly "blooms" with emotion. Nice work!
[9:30] ReMix Review: From Street Fighter Alpha 2: 'Dan's Ice Cream Truck' by Joshua Morse and po!... Can you dig it? Funky, jazzy, and entirely appropriate for a late-night cruise in Baltimore, this remix has some true groove. Gimme some of your sweet sugah, Dan the ice cream man!
[11:04] Rama Report? ...Well, sorta... Visit Tha Sauce if you want some *real* info, eh?
[12:17] Russian Remix Roulette: Random song(SSSS) picked from OverClocked ReMix's front page feature... Double your pleasure, double your fun; this week we play *two* songs to make up for the new mix shortage. Rayza and Pixie tie for bLiNd's track with a numero THREE, and then another roll of ONE gets the second tune. Ladies and gentlemen, please ready your ears for Starfox 'Space Cowboys' by bLinD and Donkey Kong Country 'ChristmasCave' by deim0s.
[20:56] It's the most fattening time of the yearrrrr... And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, we're playing a couple poems sent in by our listeners. The first, by none other than last week's Blessing Candy woman, is called "Ode to VGDJ." (Translation courtesy of Multibabel.) And next, Prince Azuzu brings us "Thanksgiving Feast" all the way from his home in Kenya. Thank you both! <3 <3 <3
[23:55] For a very good time, tune in to Very Good Music, Friday nights at 10 p.m. EST. D-Lux takes requests through irc.enterthegame.com #vgm, and if you're lucky he'll even sing along! Rayza and I listened to last week's show until after 2 in the morning. o_O And of course there's always VG Frequency with crazy Larry the Liontamer on Saturdays nights as well.
[25:38] Live menage-a-trois this January at the Toronto meet-up? You betcha! Well, show, that is... Anyway, have a lovely holiday if you're celebrating, and safe travels!
[27:57] VOICEMAILZ: Vilarius(?), Arek..

[02:45] The fine gentlemen over at Penny Arcade, a comic strip/site/community concerning the video game culture, also run a charity called Child's Play, a place for gamers and geeks to show their sensitive side and give sick children a chance for some enjoyment by donating games, toys and money. All the donations (whatever the form may be) are donated directly to the partnering hospitals. You can choose a hospital near you to donate too, as well. This is a fine chance to build up some good karma before Christmas :)

[22:30] Rayza's pimps out a public viewing of Cannibal Holocaust, a disturbing documentary style horror movie (the original...before Blair Witch).

To celebrate his release, SGX has donated 3 signed copies of the album for us to give away! We've already given away two albums... lets see who's gonna win this week! Last week's quesion was:
Q: Which island did Rayza and Aurora and OCR Toronto meetup people go to?
A: Centre Island, Toronto
We also had a BONUS question that, if answered correctly, would get your name entered TWICE into the draw:
Q: Who's trailer was Rayza in on a movie set in the summer?
A: Greg Nicotero
We had 20 people with the correct answer... we used a reputable online random number generator to pick OUR NEXT winner.... which was... *DRUM ROLL*

DABEAN!!!!!!! Congratulations! A signed copy of SGX's Better than Sliced Beats is on its way in the mail! Thanks to EVERYONE who entered!! Make sure you get your hands on your OWN copy!!
