Larry 'Liontamer' Oji interviewed by Nostalgiaholic on VGM

[Liontamer]

Shawn, the Nostalgiaholic, conducted an interview with me at Nostalgiaholic.com, and I really enjoyed it! I poop on Captain N?!? Let's get nostalgic, y'all.

Ms Pacman is a bitch.

Nice interview. I like the pic of the five of you guys all looking serious as you judge a remix. I wouldn't want to be the mixer on the end of that five-way gaze. Although BGC looks way too boyish to be taken seriously. ;-)

Also, since when is the name "Liontamer" credible. ;-)

[Hy Bound]

Good interview.

When i turned back after the interview to this page after having just read the Ms. PacMan -Hot or Not answer you gave, Pac Man was up at the top of the page winking knowingly and giving a big thumbs up...

I found it oddly ironic... or something.

[megadave]

"Double Dragon and Double Dragon II had awesome soundtracks as well."

That ain't no lie.

[big giant circles]

that was a really good read bro

[OA]

Nice interview :-)

I guess getting you to OCR is the one thing those terribly boring fighting game soundtracks were good for. :<

[Fishy]

So you're never played FF7?

That always surprises me for some reason. Dave hasn't played it either if I recall.

[zircon]

Awesome interview - a pleasure to read. It's even funnier if you've met Larry in person or heard him talk - "dayum", etc ;)

[DCT]

Larry if I ever saw you smile in a picture, I'd die of complete shock.

Cool interview though.

[Neo Samus]

Excellent interview. Did anyone notice in the header that the interviewer wrote the site address wrong?

Larry “Liontamer” Oji took time out of his busy schedule as head submissions evaluator over at OverClocked ReMix.com to speak with us about his interests, experiences, and memories. This guy loves his video game music!:tomatoface::<

[Dhsu]

Larry if I ever saw you smile in a picture, I'd die of complete shock.

Cool interview though.
The Oji does not smile, except in the event of extreme emergencies, in which case his smile has been reported to blind unfortunate passers-by, deflect projectile weapons, and bring dying "bros" back to life. DCT knows this first hand, as he has actually died 3 times already but was always revived by The Oji's smile immediately afterwards.

[Hausdog]

DAYUM, BGC. I'd hit that.

[analoq]

Well deserved recognition and a good read indeed.

cheers.

[JJT]

Thanks for the plug Larry. Also, nice interview.

Ahh, good point. One smile and a couple "yo's" later, and I was cranking out phat beetz again in no time!

[LuigiFan]

So since when is Blood on the Asphalt being used in the game? When did I miss that one?

But anyways that's an awesome interview. (Although it's kind of weird to see the name Liontamer associated with a picture other than that little Bowser icon...)

[Nekofrog]

A good read, but a little bit on the fluffy side. All in all, I'm going to have to say


NO (resub)

[Liontamer]

A good read, but a little bit on the fluffy side. All in all, I'm going to have to say


NO (resub)

By "fluffy" you really mean greatness! As for the NO, you just don't have that judge quality behind it. Doesn't carry any weight. :lol:

[JJT]

Doesn't carry any weight.

In stark contrast to your mom.

[Liontamer]

In stark contrast to your mom.

How anyone could confuse her loveliness for the hideous monstrosity of your mother, JigglinMomT, is a mystery.

This might be a really stupid question but...Do you guys actually convene like this when you judge a mix or was this photo just for the interview? Sorry if this was already answered in the interview.

Nice photo btw, Zircon looks either like he hates that mix or he's trying to look cool :P

[zircon]

That pic was from a 2007 Baltimore meetup (day before Easter, I believe.) It wasn't taken for the interview, nor do we ever actually do that to judge a mix. Still a great group pose though :lol:

[Liontamer]

And, since Shawn (Nostalgiaholic) asked as well, one little secret of that picture is that we are in fact judging a mix on zircon's laptop there. djpretzel was making a tiebreaker call that ultimately ended up in favor of GSlicer's The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 'Inverting the Tower Temple.' (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01577/) So enjoy it!

We totally should though. We should have a joojes meetup and do a Live Judgement Session. We can sell tickets and make money for the site that way tool :tomatoface:

[Doulifée]

The OJA (Ocremix Judge Association) ...Great final tonight between the two last mixes of the month.

[Flare4War]

Very informative interview.

Great to see OCR getting this kind of attention after all these years.



p.s. What's on zircon's mind in that pic? He looks like he wants to fix something with that remix they're judging.

Edit: I'm glad you all decided to let 'Inverting the Tower Temple' pass. Cause I think that mix sounds great.

[NuGeo]

Then this must have been quite the emergency...

[DragonAvenger]

You grew up in New Haven? Damn, you were less than 30 mins from me.

[Beatdrop]

Whew, I'm a little late to the game here, but this was indeed a good interview. Larry's so good at spouting all the right information at the right times...


...kinda like where he plugged me HARD.

I love it when I get plugged hard.
