PRC106: Three strikes and you're scrap metal (!) (Base Wars)

The People's Remix Competition 106
PRCv5-2
Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv) We didn't face the best of starts for season 5, I must admit, but in the midst of it all Nutritious came to the fore to provide the winning track for the Star Fox related compo. We both apologise for the delay for PRC106 though, as it turns out that he doesn't come online during the weekends.

Regardless, he provided a source tune a few hours ago and we're ready to get PRC106 started. Not long after he sent me the source tune, I actually sat down and played the game myself. Seemed really unusual and I dig it, and I'm no sports person! O_o

As a kid, I remember renting this game to play against my older brother (who would usually beat me). It's a futuristic baseball game with robots, weapons, upgrades, leagues - what's not to love? Anyway, the song that played during the title screen has always stuck with me since it's a very cool tune, so I hope you guys enjoy remixing it.

OK. Who's ready to try and shoot for a home run in this round? And who's ready to suck so bad they get a strikeout?

GOOD LUCK!

Oops, sorry Rexy, it's actually Track 1 on the OST (I ripped it real fast from the OST just now to try and clear up any confusion). Now that I think about it, the track played during the gameplay and not the title screen - it's been a LONG time since I played the game. Ah well, comedy of errors I've caused already, eh? :)

[Rexy]

I'm on my way to fix it. You didn't state the number on the NSF, which made things a little confusing at first. No worries though, let's hope this will be the last blunder this PRC faces >.>

[Alex Smith]

Oh wow what a choon. I love the source tune... but how could I possible alter this funky little gem? This is going to be a tricky PRC for me lol. I love the original TOO much to change it. :D

[Theory of N]

Hot diggity damn! Base Wars! God, I used to play that game all the time. I actually think I stole it from my Grandpa's house to play on my own NES at home because I loved it so much.




I love you Nutritious.

[Nutritious]

So... you guys gonna take a shot at a remix? Anyone wanting to make a sig for it? :)

[Alex Smith]

I'd like to do a remix... but at the moment I'm short of ideas. :/

EDIT: I'm starting to get into this now. I'll definatelyy have to something to submit by the deadline. :)

God, I LOVED this game.

I was IN love with this game.

I did things to this game that were illegal in 43 states.


I want to enter this, I wish I'd seen it sooner--I am probably not going to be able to do this but I want to so much--so much it hurts me, deep inside.

[Kyle Nin]

There's less than a day to submit a song and still no one has submitted.

[Alex Smith]

I hope a few entries do pop up before the deadline. :/

I'll be submitting mine to ThaSauce soon. Speaking of which, not that I want to appear impatient, but any idea if my PRC anniversary entry has made its way on to ThaSauce yet, Rexy?

Cheers.

[Chickenwarlord]

Man, my WIP sucks so much I'm not even going to enter it. Sorry peeps. Pretend that I entered and that you voted for someone else.

[The Orichalcon]

Uploaded my entry. Funky, stylish upload page on ThaSauce, kudos. Had to register though.

[Rexy]

Alex, I'm not part of the admin team for R:TS so I don't really know what's going on concerning your track. I'll get in touch with Garian as soon as possible.

Still, once again I screwed up with the ThaSauce time feature. The clocks going back around the world seemed to screw things up, and this is actually 5AM EST, so...

The mixing stage is over. And now, let's let the voting stage commence. There are two entries, so all you have to do is visit the competition link (http://compo.thasauce.net/rounds/view/PRC106) and decide on your preferences between them with a reasoning attached. Contestants don't need to go through this procedure at all as their votes won't even affect the final score. The winner of PRC105 (Nutritious) has a vote that will count twice.

You have until Friday, November 9th at 5AM EST to make your decision. The winner gets to choose the source tune for PRC107!

Thanks very much Rexy. :)

[Nutritious]

Voted.

Better vote tonight (unless you wanna get up before 5AM EST). Crazy time differences!

[Rexy]

In Wii Sports fashion... that's the game! Who pitched more runs than the other? Let's find out.

Total number of mixes - 2
Total number of votes - 5 (-.o)
Highest possible score - 10

Alex Smith only just got struck out to second place with 7 points.

And the winner of PRC106 is The Orichalcon with 8 points!

Lee, we so missed your aussie judgefgtry. :) Nice comeback for the PRC, man. Hopefully you won't be as late as Nutritious was for the next source tune though. I hopefully want to get PRC107 up by tomorrow night, so if you can think of a source tune for then that will be great.

Thanks for your time everyone and I'll meet you at the same "base" for the next compo. (God, I can't do baseball puns to save my life.)

[Alex Smith]

Ah very close indeed. Congrats TO. ;)
