[April fools!] OverClocked ReMixanator Release!

[The Coop]

How did you edit the thread title without editing the first post?

I desire this power.

You can edit the titles of the threads you create by double clicking in that big empty strip between the thread's name on the left and its "last post" box on the right.

[K.B.]

I desire this power.
Actually...
(not that anyone in his right mind would entrust me with mod powers... wait, I have a great idea for next 1 April!)

Right, but it edits your post as well.

Edit: Wait a tic, wasn't I the one who told you how to do this?

[The Coop]

Right, but it edits your post as well.

You sure about that? I just edited my "GBA SP on-screen color problem " thread title in Help & Newbies and the first post still says "Last edited by The Coop; 03-13-2010 at 01:51 PM."

[K.B.]

I tried that on my face-punch thread from wayback and I recall it editing the post. Either this is v2.0 or I was delusional.

Regardless, thanks for the tip.

[The Coop]

No problem.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to designing my CD covers for albums I'm going to be releasing thanks to Remixanator.

Let's see... add an extra synth here, some drums there...

[Dhsu]

I have to say this is one of the most elaborate April Fools I've seen yet. This can't have been something you guys whipped up in an hour or two, and for once I'm actually interested in the "making of" behind this.

Yup, each year I find myself looking to 4/1 more and more just to see the shenanigans. And I don't think you guys are shits.

[Bahamut]

It probably was whipped up quickly actually - at PAX East we were all clueless what is going to happen on A1.

[Dhsu]

So you're saying they just pulled it out of their ASS? :tomatoface:

[linkspast]

I always love OCRs april fools jokes. Especially the reactions..
Nice work as usual :nicework:

[Jillian Aversa]

It was done in three days - two days, even, for the procrastinators. Remixers were OA, DarkeSword, Palpable, zircon, and djp. :<

I agree that a lot of the "base" tracks should be made into full mixes!

[Sir_Snooze]

I hope so. A lot of things in my daily life would make so much more sense than way.

(No, seriously, they really would.)

...I'll be back.

[zircon]

Yep, it was done on short notice - we decided on it at the end of PAX East, but from the time we got back we were all working on it pretty intensely. I had the Electronic Terra mix and Solo Piano Schala.

[Rodin]

Wow. I finally got a chance to read through the entire thread...

I didn't think anything could top the Remixanator for pure April Fool's funny, but the responses in the thread are pure win!

Also, for something that was put together in three days, I'm really impressed. It really was possible to net some startlingly groove-worthy tunes out of the Remixanator.

[conker]

I was actaully highly anticipating waht might hsow up for April fools - cause i would usually miss it every other year - so i was actually up past midnight and actaully reloaded the page a few times and the second the remixinator showed up i new it was this years joke.....i think the last one i actually saw was the DuckHunt Collaboration...which i think was actually a few years ago....

but just in case i'm wrong is there a way to post maybe screen shots of each years Schnanigans that you guys pulled off?

just cause that duck hunt one is the only one i can' think of that i might have seen last...

[Dunnowhathuh]

A lot of those mixes were quite awesome indeed.

[Algiz]

The front page feels empty without the ReMixinator. It's like I'm staring at a giant ASS hole.

[Miyakan]

Awesome april fools! Beats my going to my old school and pretending to be a student again.

And Zircon, Thanks for the Terra Electronic mix. It was awesome. Pity I forgot to save it.

[Linkjing Donuts]

suckers


also, sorry I didn't get my concept art turned in. I was too sick on April Fools Eve

[Power Smoothie]

So this is the point where everyone who was yelling and cursing yesterday admits they were just trolls, right?

...right?

[Flare4War]

This was a good one. At first glance I was like wtf is this? Then once I investigated I knew it was the joke.

Still, some great tunes.

[Arcana]

The instant I saw this I knew it was a joke. I just wanted to ham it up and fake outrage, because you don't want to be that guy who's all like "THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A JOKE GUYS CHECK THE CALENDAR".

I was pretty certain everyone else was hamming it up too (though Emperor actually got banned for it which is kind of funny but sad at the same time).

But after going through this thread I'm not so sure anymore. 8-)

[K.B.]

He was being sarcastic, but you can't expect everyone to know that. And even then, he was fairly vulgar, so eh.

I'm confident that nothing needs to be said on yesterday's events than has already been said.


Edit: However, I would still appreciate a torrent/rar of the mixinator 9000's handiwork.

No, seriously. It would be very cool to have the ability to queue up a listing of yesterday's available mixes.

IOW your tracker is broken, ASS.

[twilightsquid]

someone needs to make a collection of all of the remixinator songs.

[Level 99]

someone needs to make a collection of all of the remixinator songs.

Ask the artists to release a .zip of it. Or, alternatively, invent a time machine.

Props to all involved, I was talking to Amy about this last night. Seems as if Duck Hunt HD and ReMixinator has similar origin times, and for the amount of varied work involved, it shows how much we dedicate ourselves to these stupid jokes :nicework: Plus you've shown me a scary future which is probably going to happen one day, and not be a joke.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Ice Cap + Solo Piano + Max It Out....

Edit: No need to ask the artists. I totally forgot I spent an hour or so yesterday getting every track, I'm uploading a ZIP later.

[urdailywater]

Now how will I create musical greats?

I'm a winner one day and a loser the next. Self-esteem = crushed.

I really liked a lot of the tunes though. Except anything involving the vocals.
Eww.

[LostChronos]

Mr. Lloyd, you sir, are a flaming turd. As are all of you damn judges! You shall be flogged to within an inch of your lives!
Well played! I fell for that shit big time. I just hope you don't seriously consider this in the future though. :banghead: Ya asshats! YOU'RE ALL FIRED!

[Crulex]

Someone should totally finish that metal Ice Cap Zone ReMix. That was an awesome song.

I agree. Heck, I'd love to see the Metal Ice Cap Zone with Male Vocals finished just to see what funny lyrics could be added. If it gets to be too much.....that's what OLR is for. :smile: It was a funny joke, but playing along and pretending to be fooled was even better. I wonder how many were playing along like me.

[DarkeSword]

I did Schala Jazz.

[Xenon Odyssey]

If someone got all of the Terra mixes, I have all of the Schala and Ice Cap ones (yes, I spent the time downloading each one), if we can make a zip of all of them.

[Level 99]

If someone got all of the Terra mixes, I have all of the Schala and Ice Cap ones (yes, I spent the time downloading each one), if we can make a zip of all of them.

I got all the mixes yesterday. I can upload the zip of everything when I get home.

[Blue Magic]

You all did a great job this year. And I enjoyed playing with that ASS.

I want those songs!

[DarkeSword]

Users banned for trying to spoil yesterday's festivities have been unbanned. If you're one of those people that registered an alt account and it got ban/purged, then you've got an IP ban on the forums, which means I can't really get rid of it, so you'll just have to deal with it until someone with the proper access can. Please be aware that it's not high on our list of priorities, as you shouldn't have registered an alt account anyway.

In any case, it happens every year, and I always have to say: I don't understand why people feel the need to tell everyone that it's a joke. The fun for us is in fooling people, and the fun for everyone else figuring it out for themselves. Jumping on the forum and saying "GUYS IT'S APRIL FOOLS DAY" is just being a spoilsport; why ruin it?

And FYI, Emperor Whateverhisnameis is on a one week vacation for being an ass. It's fun to play along with the joke, but if you're warned about your conduct, try to take that seriously.

[Palpable]

Jill forgot to mention diotrans, who did the Ice Cap and Terra solo piano ones. zircon made a new export of one of the tracks that screwed up, so there's a track you guys would be missing. I have all the mixes including the new one in a zip, 132 mixes in total, 193 MB. :shock: If someone can host it, I'll send it to them.

[Liontamer]

Shut up about what day it is and PLAY ALONG WITH THE JOKE. :lol:

[avaris]

took me 4 clicks.

Though a cool suggestion for ReMixinator 2.0 is the level of heart the ASS pours out. Add to the dev wish list I guess. :-)

...just read this today HAHAHAHA...you've been infected by the intellectual demise of your roomies at Mag finally. I knew it would only be a matter of time. (pulls hood over head) :lmassoff:

[BooDidley7]

Haha, at people getting banned... Sorry, but it's pretty funny.

I'm always kinda amazed people fall so hard for this stuff as everyone else on net seems to take advantage of the day as well. Isn't Topeka'ing stuff, a bit a of clue?

Anyway, Bravo OCR! Another fine April Fool's day prank! You guys should seriously consider keeping an archive of these fine efforts with the front pages/announcements and accompanying reaction threads from previous April Fool's. And maybe even a casualty list of all those who got banned.

This stuff is too fun to disappear after April 1st of every year.

[OA]

...just read this today HAHAHAHA...you've been infected by the intellectual demise of your roomies at Mag finally. I knew it would only be a matter of time. (pulls hood over head) :lmassoff:

I admit that I abused the "take your clothes off" sound file way too much in both of my larry mixes. XD

I might actually use it in a real mix sometime. It'd be a LiOAntamer collab. :-)

I think part of it is just that we've already seen it before and no one's really falling for it. That's the key part to any April Fools - it has to be believable, and 2,000+ active members all taking a look at the biggest event of the day are not all going to be in on the joke.

Don't get me wrong - ASS was a GREAT joke. It was very creative, well executed, and I legitimately soiled my monitor twice during the day. Darkesword had the BEST comment on it that I was laughing at even today. It's just that by now, we come to expect OCR charging for downloads, doing bullshit deals with EA Sports, etc. There wasn't a surprise factor until Zircon and everyone came up with "Macarena of Time" which was absolutely perfect in every way. :)

That's all that was really missing and it was up front. I still thought it was a GREAT progression and one of the more memorable April Fools I've seen in a while.

Actually, you'd be surprised at what people fall for, as exhibited in this thread and with various other emails, PMs, etc.

[Petara]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: EA ReMix was freakin legendary.

Sadly, I managed to lose the "promo" song that even included bits of Madden's voice... any care to send it/point me to where it is?

[LuketheXjesse]

I got banned even though I NEVER SAID APRIL FOOLS EVER.

Pissed me off.

Here's the Terra Boom-Tiss Drumloops mix!

[Nnamhock]

I'll permit myself to say a few words about this:

I read the news of the ReMixinator at about 13:15, and i have been fooled for over 13 hours, not really shure if it was a joke or not...

I registered yesterday specially to PM DrakeSword to ask him an get confirmation if this was or was not a joke.

So, some people DID fall for it, although we may be very few...:)!!

[ChaosSupremeSonic]

I never said what day it was, but I did hint it, so I'll remember that next time.

Thanks for the A1 Steak Sauce tho, who ever gave me that. Now where's my steak :lol:

Seriously, that joke almost convinced me for a second. But it had a few obvious giveaways that I'm surprised people actually fell for it. I mean no submission and the judges are relieved of their duty? Did that not speak "APRIL FOOLS!" for anyone?

[Nubioso]

lol, yeah, I got the A1 ban as well. I figured that I had been banned for my post saying "wow, I cant believe you people are falling for this"...... Don't know that I agree with banning just to try and perpetuate a joke, but meh....whatevs. I figured A-1 steaksauce was perfect for "A"pril "1"st =P

[Liontamer]

I got banned even though I NEVER SAID APRIL FOOLS EVER.

Pissed me off.

Shaddap. Don't make a lulz thread implying what day it is and you won't get steaksauced next time.

If you imply April Fool's with something stupid like "given what day it is, nuyk, nyuk, nyuk", you're doing it wrong.

And it's just a lulz ban for the rest of the day to keep your trap shut. Don't serious business about it. Just shut up next time. :lol:

[LuketheXjesse]

OH THAT. I completely forgot about that.

Okay, ban is now justified. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Neblix]

As long as you're unbanned it's all PART OF THE JOKE ANYWAY.

Take the ban as an april fools joke. XD

[The Biznut]

It took me about 1 minute to realize what day it was. I thought it was awesome how every once in a while I would find a post with someones personal freakout:

"9 PAGES IN AND NOT ONE WORD ABOUT APRIL FOOLS?!??!

BAKA!!!"

....and then 5 minutes later, that post would mysteriously disappear! And they were banned!!! That's the REAL April fools joke!

ROFLarious! I am impressed we pushed this to 30 pages so fast! Good work everyone.

Years from now, people will sour the net for the ultimate automatic music maker, and they WILL scour this thread for links to the Remixinator in VAIN! That thought brings me great joy.

[SoulinEther]

Man I was such a dick to Taucer.

[Jam Stunna]

That was a great prank.

[letterONE]

I can't believe I got banned for pointing it out to everyone that the ReMixinator was a joke. Don't you think banning is, well, too much? Seriously! Banning a person for ruining a JOKE? No offense but that's sad. And kind of mean.
Oh and P.S. Even though it was a joke, the Remixinator made some pretty good stuff (that is if you don't put any other effects but the beats and synthesizer on.) In fact I did the piano Ice Cap mixed with the beats and synth (put em' all together in Audacity), and it sounded pretty good!

It's an annual thing, and the bans get lifted after April Fools anyway! Some people get carried away with trying to point out what day it is, so the banning is to prevent that for the day.

[Fishy]

You got banned for being a spoilsport. You're supposed to play along with it and make the people who didn't get it look silly. That's why its called april fools.

[Darklink42]

I loved this prank, even though I figured it out pretty quickly when reading the description. It was a lot of fun to play along with as well, even though obviously some people took the whole thing way too far (getting yourself banned over a prank is pretty ridiculous.) I really liked the base tracks for these songs though, they were fun to tool around with.

Also, I would have thought that the lyrics in the songs were a pretty big clue the whole thing was a joke, but I guess not. Good job guys.

People that give the joke away always get banned. It's not punishment or "too much". It's to preserve the joke throughout the day.

Had you been being punished for something, you'd probably still be banned.

[The Pezman]

Please tell me the remixinator is still available at an address somewhere. I didn't get a chance to try all the combos.

BTW, I recall during PAX East that no one seemed to have a clear idea on what to do for AF. Did people come up with this at the last minute or... was that conversation, in ITSELF, an April Fools joke?

This happened to me last year (or the year before). I didn't mind the daylong ban so much as the fact that I had no way of knowing this unwritten rule ahead of time.

[Matt E. Waldman]

Darn, I missed out on this! :(

[Level 99]

Darn, I missed out on this! :(

It's cause you're not very-much alive these days :P

Also, BAM! ReMixinator collection, in the form of zip and individual mp3s. one of the mp3s was corrupted on the OCR end, kept downloading at 28kb in size, but whatever. So many songs, one doesn't matter:

ZIP of ReMixinator (http://www.mediafire.com/file/1gzzzgjheld)
Ice Cap ReMixinator (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/0f74f08bff9ceb11d0d290dca69ceb5c1e15f1a6c8b483c8a4 648785df63f216)
Schala ReMixinator (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/0f74f08bff9ceb11d0d290dca69ceb5c1e15f1a6c8b483c8d8 c7c6998cb4ca21)
Terra ReMixinator (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/0f74f08bff9ceb11d0d290dca69ceb5c1e15f1a6c8b483c89b 20786b9a6e1ed0)

Also: PEOPLE! REMIXINATOR IS MADE OF PEOPLE!

[Dash Myoku]

lol Maxed out Ice Cap sounded like a bunch of crap over crap. xD

[K.B.]

I hereby re-bestow upon you the stuffs dreams are made of. linky linky linky
You are my heronator.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Man I was such a dick to Taucer.

'sall good, long as we can has some hot make up sex

Why would you want heated Revlon, Covergirl, etc. products?

[Gollgagh]

Also, BAM! ReMixinator collection

much appreciated good sir

Oh. I didn't know what's what the bans were for. Honestly, I thought the joke was given up 3 seconds after people saw it due to knowing it was too stupid to be real.

[moosegg3]

Holy cow; I can't believe I fell for it! I did not believe the dynamic thing at all, but I really thought I was going to have to find another site to submit my stuff. I was getting curious at how nothing in the site changed besides the Remixinator, you even still had submission instructions up, but It never clicked that it was April Fools Day. Congratulations on an amazing prank!

[Feyhd]

I really couldn't stop laughing at the ReMixanator. I had to try all the variations. That was a quality April fool's joke.

[SoulinEther]

Man, this would've been posted 10 years ago, inevitably becoming a ReMix classic by now.
