VGDJ: Shownotes #035

[00:00] Wingless reveals the extent of his djpretzel fandom. Go figure!
[01:24] INTRO CONTEST WINNARS! Drum roll, please... (Dubadubdubduba...)
3RD: Snooper_1989 Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi oi oi!
2ND: Andyjayne The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain...
1ST: zircon Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam?
Many thanks to Broken, Danel Dyer, debeerguy007, EazyP, Edward Bradford, Jesse Heimen, meccaneer, Nicole Adams, and Rexy as well! Y'all rock.
[03:26] ...Which means you'll each be receiving a sticker from the new VGDJ STORE! It's non-profit, so don't worry about feeding your greedy hosts. We'll still be poor as paupers. Now anybody can sport our shirts; look good and help spread da VG music love! (ZOMG Pixie action shot!)
[04:33] The Rama Report: Anime Remix is getting a new look! If you're computer savy and interested in being a tester for the site, contact Carbunk1e at xal3ph@yahoo.com. In other news, Mr. Magfest is offering a MAG4 Remember-Pak to any and all donations of $20 or more. Included will be a DVD-R of the video game concerts, event booklets, flyers, and tons of other fun stuff! Help support the dude who runs this annual (possibly soon-to-be biannual) event. For more community news, as always, visit Tha Sauce!
[06:32] ReMix Review: From Bionic Commando: Bionic Electronica by Big Giant Circles ... The mix stays true to the title: electronica it is! Sirens, stutters, and SFX bring a little sonic sound to this arrangement from Bionic Commando. Can Gameboy take the awesomeness? Let's find out...
[08:56] ReMix Review: From Grandia 2: 'A Deus ex Harpa' by Darkesword ... Perhaps one of the most sweeping orchestral arrangements on the site? Wingless was smitten with this one. Maybe it'll tug a few of your "harp"strings, too. (Oh boy, Pixie made a funny!)
[11:18] ReMix Review: From Castlevania: Circle of the Moon: 'Time's Anxiety' by GrayLightning and Rexy ... New Age ftw! Gray and Rexy team up for this lovely arrangement of the Clockwork theme. But before you listen, let our resident British babe discuss the piece. ^_~
[15:53] ReMix Review: From Sonic & Knuckles: 'Lover Reef' by D-Lux, Geoffrey Taucer, pixietricks, shonensamurai, and zircon ... Here it is, folks: the largest collab to ever come out of OC ReMix. A deliciously cheesey rock duet with pixietricks and shonensamurai on vocals, Taucer on electric and accoustic guitars, D-Lux on spoken word, and zircon on everything else! In the words of pretzel, "Possibly the best thing to come out of January's NYC OCR meetup." Well, it certainly was fun! You can decide for yourselves.
[19:31] Compo Report: Cyan_Ide- brings you the remixing competition goings on...and how! Check out the threads and lend a vote or two. FLMC, TOMC, ORC, PRC.
[21:44] OverClocked ReMix wants YOU to submit new avatars! 32 x 32 pixels max, primarily video game characters wanted, but anime and TV figures are A.O.K.
[23:03] The Meetup Report: What's this? One, organized section to get all the meetup news? Why, how convenient! Three events to be on the lookout for...
North Carolina meet: This Friday, March 24th, 2pm at the Four Seasons Mall (Time Out arcade) in Greensboro, NC. Wingless torments poor old Taucer, who, despite his organizer status, needs a ride to the event. Help a fellow out!
Baltimore meet: Saturday, April 1st, 12pm at the Washington Monument (outside of Peabody Conservatory) in Baltimore, MD. Headed up by yours truly Oh yeah, and that other guy... DrumUltipoo...?
Fargo, North Dakota meet: ????????
[25:55] Russian Remix Roulette: DJ Crono, DJ Crono, DJ DJ DJ Crono. Professor Burnett teaches Ms. Tricks a valuable lesson on the subtle intricacies of this OC ReMixer's music. Let's see how fast you catch on. Castlevania: 'Simon's Symphony', by DJ Crono.
[33:04] Nicole Adams gets to stepping with the WinglessMix! Our host mix collection is finally complete. Long live VGDJ! ^o^

VGDJ: Shownotes #034

[00:00] Pass the what? Pass the popcorn.
[01:20] TheWingless wins the hearts of millions with new ways of introducing the show. Remember to keep those votes coming, because we're 2nd in the entire music category, and 38th overall. We *are* the undeserved champions of the Podcast world.
[02:11] Pixietricks uses her unholy power of HTML to spruce up the VGDJ site. New voting buttons, new contact images, new awesomeness.
[02:53] The Rama Report: Tonight on the History Channel, Rama's invasion of Prussia in 1311 ushured in a new era of culture for the European world. Sadly, his reign was cut short when he FLAKED ON GIVING US THE RAMA REPORT. Thousands were slaughtered in the resulting riots, which is the origin of Black Rama Thursday, as you may recall. Anyway, visit Tha Sauce to stay current.
[03:46] ReMix Review: Megaman 3: Crystal Potion by Po!, originally composed by BunBun! Wingless waxes on the virtues of DiVinci-types and smooth jazz. Po! sounds off on the trials, tribulations, and ultimate triumphs of his latest remix. And, of course, the song itself. PO!
[08:01] ReMix Review: From Mario Paint: 'Intense Color' by SGX and sephfire. Mario games are hardcore? Pixie explains it all in her review, and how this song makes her feel like Wonder Woman. We have voice clips from both artists on how they collaboratively spit-shined the song into its modern sparkle. We also wish both artists a happy birthday. SGX is now at a new URL: www.sgxmusic.com.
[15:00] But that's not all! Our very own Pixie "I love alchohol" Tricks has had her 20th birthday. Sephfire writes a timeless testament to the woman who makes us all happy to be men, the PixieMix. (Oh hush, you!) Is Nicole Adams the only hope for a WinglessMix? Only time will tell.
[18:07] Compo Report: Cyan_Ide- the man who is often confused with a tripod by women! Cyan_Ide commands you to visit the following threads and lend your votes and help keep the remixing competitions rolling along: FLMC1, PRC62, TOMC10, and ORC42.
[22:20] Russian Remix Roulette: Making fun of past hosts and internet moguls? Priceless. But not even Rayza and DJP can withstand the might of obscura long since passed (2003) with Final Fantasy 6: Dancing Madly (First Form), by Waxing Eloquent.
[29:42] Remember! Our Official VGDJ Intro Contest is ON like DONKEY KONG! You'll get the official T-shirt for just submitting! That's right. No matter how badly you suck, you'll get clothing. (Pixie Edit: Uhhh....nooo...only if you win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize. :p) We've got male and female sized shirts. All entries are due by NOON on Wednesday, March 15th, and should be sent to vgdjpodcast@gmail.com.
[31:15] "Play! A Video Game Symphony" is coming to the Rosemont Horizon in Chi-town (or thereabouts). Visit their site, www.play-symphony.com, for all the information you'll need to pack your bags for Chicagoland. They'll play music from such games as Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, Shennmue, Halo, World of Warcraft, Silent Hill, Battlefield 1942, Sonic the Hedgehog, and TES: Morrowind. Tickets are onsale alongside ViP tickets, which will allow you to meet and greet such stars as Jeremy Soule, Martin O'donnel, Akira Yamaola, and many more!
[32:44] ...But if you think Wingless will make a Play meetup, you're wrong. DEAD wrong. Seriously. I'll kick him in the crotch. If you even think you can stop me, contact us at (and submit your intros to!) vgdjpodcast@gmail.com, or reach us at our voicemail: 1-800-990-VGDJ. Remember to VOTE FOR THE PODCAST if you haven't yet this month!
[36:27] VOICEMAIL: Being black gets you girls, PROOF POSITIVE. Thanks to Strongbad, Snooper, I Wanna Be More Like Wingless cough arcana cough, and EazyP for calling in!

VGDJ: Shownotes #033

[00:00] DrumUltimA reveals his secret plot to burst into Pixie's room as she and Wingless record this show. :O
[01:50] Jeepers! It's March already, and you know what that means... WE NEED YOUR VOTES ON PODCAST ALLEY! Every month, the votes are reset, and it has been Wingless' lifelong dream to be the #1 podcast, so please help our humble cause! Every vote counts. For serious.
[02:11] Atteeeeeeeeeeennntion! The first ever VGDJ INTRO CONTEST has officially begun! This is an exciting time for us all, yes yes. There is one rule, and one rule only: your submission must be 45 seconds or under! Take a little bit of the show into your own hands, and win yourself a snazzy VGDJ T-shirt, designed by The Wingless himself. The first due date is Wednesday, March 15th by noon! Email your submissions to vgdjpodcast@gmail.com, and we'll have a jolly old time. Remember, you have an excellent chance at winning one of three spots, and every winner will receive a shirt!
[04:33] Aaaaaaaaaaaaand he delivers. ^_~
[05:12] One pretzel, seven judges, and a whole lotta music. It's the JUDGES SPECIAL!!! Well, I'll be... Zircon, Vigilante, The Orichalcon, and JigginJonT all provides mini interviews for the show. Drunken jdgfgt singing +1!
[15:11] ReMix Review: From Chrono Trigger: 'The Place We Knew' by pixietricks and Reuben Kee... A new mix from pixietricks? On the show?! You betcha. Wingless butchers the Japanese names, of course. But, ummm... Yeah. Listen good.
[18:25] ReMix Review: From The Guardian Legend: 'The Scarlet Halls of Night' by The Wingless... Okay, now this is just scary... The Wingless gets a new mix direct posted, too?! We think djpretzel's trying to tell us something. Perhaps, "OMG VGDJ I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES BUT I;LL SETTLE FOR TEH MUZAKS BCUZ STUFFNSTUFF YEAH!"? Regardless, we thank him for this appropriately timed festival of cohost-y goodness. And...sex...mmmmmm...
[22:40] Compo Report: Cyan_Ide goes to heroic lengths to bring us this week's report! Huah! As always, visit the following threads to lend your votes and help keep the competitions rolling along: FLMC1, PRC62, TOMC10, and ORC42. (P.S. Meshpinks Wingless has a cruuuuuush...)
[25:45] Anime suki? Sore kara, OCReMix suki? If so, check out The Official OCR-tan Thread! We're pooling our resources to create an anime-style female mascot for the site, and hopefully for a few of the different forums or previous versions of OCR as well. These chicks are based on the original OS-tans for the various computer operating systems, and are intended to represent the "personality" of the site, so to speak. Since the recording of this show, djpretzel has already swooped in and chosen an official design by blackmyst, but the characters keep coming! If you're good at drawing anime figures, or just want to contribute some ideas, go right ahead!
[26:04] On Saturday, April 1st at 12:00pm, there is going to be a BALTIMORE MEETUP at the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Activities include lunch and dinner at any of the local restaurants of our choice, gaming at the ESPN Zone arcade, chilling in Baltimore's lovely Harborplace, wreaking April Fool's havoc in Pixie and DrumUltimA's dorm, and possibly even an evening show at the IMAX Theater! We have a great member lineup so far, so drop on by the thread and post if you plan to attend! ^_^
[28:42] The Rama Report: PLAY! A Video Game Symphony is beginning its worldwide tour in America's very own Chicago, Illinois on May 27th. (Do I smell a possible meetup? Oh, I don't know, say... WINGLESS might be there... Eh eh?) In other news, Shael Riley of "The Music of My Groin" has released not one, but TWO new versions of his original "Love Me Koala," the second one featuring the talents of fellow remixer Trenthian. A gifted musician and comedian, be sure to check out his recent album, Toybox! And of course, for more game music community news, visit thasauce.net!
[30:32] Russian ReMix Roulette: Pixie and Reuben Kee's newest mix appears in the queue this week, but is dwarfed by the presence of dual Danny B remixes! (We swear we're not rigging the show... cough, cough...) Anyway, this week's roll of TWO brings Wingless a roulette win and the rest of us Doom: 'Dark Side of Phobos' by Danny Baranowsky.
[36:27] Wingless gives bad love advice. 'Nuff said. ^_~
[39:34] And another show comes to a close here at VGDJ.net. Contact us at (and submit your intros to!) vgdjpodcast@gmail.com, or reach us at our Voicemail: 1-800-990-VGDJ. And plz plz plz... REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR THE PODCAST if you haven't yet this month! Pretty plz? With sugar on top and jelly in the middle? ;_;
[40:09] VOICEMAIL: Wowwwwww! Tons of voicemail this week!! Thanks to Voltaire Adams, anonymous guy #1, Fusion2004, Little Donny J, DrumUltimA, sephfire, reelmojo, anonymous guy #2, and Kumbijubba (?)
