Just noticed there is no link to V's "La-De-Da!" in the shownotes.


My word, willest thou provide yours truly with a hyperlink please? "O-kay," thank you, goodbye.

Actually, V_Gasm said he has a more updated version of the remix, and so would prefer us *not* link to the initial submission. Sorry d00d.

[Shivy]

Unleash the Beast.... Yeah, so do I!

[zircon]

We have returned from Day 1 of Otakon, and I have to say... the panel was a real disappointment. The 10AM slot was terrible! Not a single person came :( See for yourself:

http://www.vgdj.net/Images/ocremixpanel.jpg

AHAHAHAHAHA just kidding!!! The OCR panel we did went better than I think any of us could have dreamed of, some very small minor technical issues aside. We were seriously expecting on the order of 10-20 people, but we got WELL over ten times that many - I'd say at least 300. The room (which was enormous) was packed, and everyone was really into it. The meetup that followed was a blast, too. You can see more pics at the VGDJ action shot photo album (http://www.vgdj.net/album) and we'll be sure to have more after tomorrow.

Anyway, we're shooting to release the show around Monday evening, since this is gonna be a larger show - but trust me, it'll be worth it. ;)

[atmuh]

Any videos?

There's Upthornh on the right in red, some idiots doing the wave...
And on the left in front, Benzo (bald guy, black shirt)'s not paying attention!

[zircon]

Any videos?

Hopefully! Jiggles McPuff was videotaping the panel, so he should have something for us.

wow thats awesome!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

After seeing that picture I literally, out loud, while inhaling, said:

"Holy Shi-"

:nicework: x1000. Without a doubt (correct me if I'm wrong) OCR's most organized piece of exposure to date. I mean published articles might compete with it and the like, but surely they can't compare to this many people in one room at one time.

Heyo. Thought I'd let you all know that VGDJ Episode 053 (from Otakon!) will be released tonight at 10pm EST! Additionally...

Pics from days 2 and 3 are now up on the VGDJ Action Shot Photo Album!!! (http://www.vgdj.net/album)

They begin on page 10, but the first batch from Otakon starts on page 9. Enjooooyyyy...

[zircon]

Episode 052 of VGDJ (OCR Otakon Panel) has been released, and is now available at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

This is a special episode of VGDJ, so most of our normal content isn't in it, but that's just because we've got so much material from the panel itself. It's a blast! :D

[Abadoss]

Nice work on the panel, guys! :D

[theras2000]

Hey guys I hope this is the right place to ask this. I couldn't really figure out how to search this whole thread for my answer.
How do I call the VGDJ mailbox from another country? It's not working for me and I think it might be the 1800 bit.
Nato.

[Jillian Aversa]

Somebody help this poor fella out! I know we've gotten an Aussie call or two in the past, but don't know how it's done.

[Abadoss]

I believe it involves using an international area code. I think the US is +001... (something like that)...

The next best thing would be to call the operator and ask how it's done...

[Kanthos]

http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/ should help you out.

[zircon]

Hey! I just wanted to thank everyone here for voting this month. Not even a week ago we were considerably behind, but we put out the call and you guys responded in force. We are now back to #1 in Music/Radio and gaining more and more of a lead each day.

So, once again, THANK you!

[theras2000]

Hey thanks for help. I found all I needed to do was drop the 1 from the 1800. Of course I then needed to add a 1 for America anyway. Mix on,

[Martin Penwald]

Got back into the VGDJ thing with no.052 (nice show, though the music during the panel was hardly audible), and I hope to stay with it this time. Because the last eposide before that was 036 or something...

[Jillian Aversa]

There was no background music during the panel- just the original/remix example medley and the live performances. Is that what you're referring to? In any case, there's nothing we could do about that, but episode 053 will feature better audio from the event because we're releasing it as a videocast!

I thought so.

I just listened to VGDJ for the first time today. :)

[Dhsu]

So that's why zircon asked me for the source tune. :D I'm really surprised you didn't play "Terra in Black" though, that always seemed to be the biggest crowd-pleaser.

Anyway, great panel, guys.

[Flaillen]

I love this station, it's so addictive and entertaining to listen to. Otakon sounded fun form the last episode, glad that you chose to show off The Ken Song, Da Black Market and The Dragon Song...and all the other songs of course.
Really great choices to show off some of the great talent to new people. ^_^

Wish I could of gone, maybe next time I can make it out of England to check it out.

Anyway, thank you Zircon and pixietricks for all the great entertainment.

[Jillian Aversa]

Aw, thanks dude! Stay tuned for this week's Otakon videocast episode! ^-^

[Audity]

You should put How To Vote or something on the first page with super easy to follow instructions. Took me like 20 more seconds than it should have to find out how to vote! Oh no!

[CE]

Pixie, I can't find the album at vgdj.net :( A little help?

It's not http://www.vgdj.net/album ? maybe zircon changed it to vgdj.net/alblum :D

KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!

[Audity]

Listening to that last show was pretty good. However, you can barely hear the intensity of the songs. In fact, they sound 305982905x worse than ever -- every song sounds really offkey and just...the worst ever. Maybe the videocast will be better?

And next time, you should play the Mario 1 bowser castle theme, and then...you know what to play from there :D
I forget if there were any rock covers.

Yeah - that couldn't be helped. We wanted to keep in all the reactions from the audience in there during the medley to preserve the live feel, you know? The videocast WILL have better audio for that however, so don't worry. :)

Indeed. Much better audio on the videocast to come!

The reason the sound quality was so bad is that we had to use a wireless mic for the performances, which wasn't hooked up to the audio mixer. So all the music you heard was echoing back to us from the very farthest wall in the room, causing it to sound weird and flat. The acoustics in there were pretty bad, unfortunately. :(

Hmmm, I guess zircon could use his mod powers to update the first post by Rayza, sure. That might not be a bad idea anyway, considering so much has changed since VGDJ first came to be.

Howeverrrrrr... We *do* have little vote link buttons on every blog post at www.vgdj.net , as well as a link on the side of the page. :P

(And yeah, CE, the album link is right there, too. C'mon, you coulda figured that one out. :mrgreen:)

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

You're always free to archive it (not sure how, but I'm sure there's a way).

[Jillian Aversa]

I see no reason to restart this thread, unless Dave wills it. But certainly a first post update would be in order. What do you think, Andy?

[zircon]

Already updated the first post w/ the voting info; I don't think we need to make a new thread. Lemme know what else should be in there.

[watkinzez]

Well, the Rayza/Aurora stuff is a bit outdated, as is the ThaSauce link. Also, I think Doug and Cyan_Ide would take offense to them not being mentioned with Rama being there. :wink:

[RETROMAN]

I loved the Otakon podcast. It sounded like everybody was having a really good time.
I listened to it at work and I got a few stares from my co-workers because I was smiling and giggling most of the time :D
Having a crowd of videogame music fans chilling to those OC remixes must've been quite a cool experience!

Oh yeah, I voted for you guys at www.podcastalley.com :nicework:

woah, Doug is pissed.

[Jillian Aversa]

:lmassoff:

Anywho, yeah, I think it's good to update the host and mini-host information, but considering Rayza made the first post, it might be confusing for newcomers not to see his and Aurora's names in there. Perhaps start another heading called "Past Hosts" and explain who started it, how Wingless stood in for five shows, etc etc. (Yeah yeah, Fusion, more episode 3 love! :P)

Also, if you're not gonna capitalize your name, don't do it for mine either. It's not in caps on the boards, and I'm OCD like that. ^-^

[zircon]

You got it. I'm always lowercase, yo.

[Dhsu]

It's really weird...for some reason, a lot of people tend to write my name in ALL caps, so it's like people are shouting at me all the time. :P I mean, it's not like it's an acronym or anything...it's just my first initial + last name.

[CE]

I have playlists for certain OCR remixers (won't reveal it though, it'll alieanate some people :P) and I try to come up with half decent names for it instad of [USERNAME]'s playlist.

So Dhsu's playlist name is Walking Dhsu's. Yeah. Piano groove.

[Dhsu]

That's horrible. :lol:

[CE]

Dude, believe me, it's alot better then most of the others. You were lucky :lol:

I have an RSS feed off the site...

[Jillian Aversa]

There's more than just audio problems. We've taken down the videos because a ton of technical things are going wrong with the .mp4 encoding. Sorry guys, you'll just have to sit tight. Please be patient. Kroze and I have been at this thing for the last 48 hours, literally.

[Jillian Aversa]

Kindly refrain from distributing any of the messed up versions! :puppyeyes:

Um, pixie... zircon... shouldn't the videocast still be more like Episode 52v?
Nooooo, because we've put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into this thing, and it has some content (i.e. better live performance sound, and the trivia & prizes) that didn't make it to Episode 052... Plus an introduction by me, and voicemails/pictures/stinger at the end. Besides, just having the visual aspect alone is enough to make this a full out show. ^-^

So here's the scoop!
After three days of trying to work with MPEG-4, we have realized that it is an awful format when it comes to internet interaction. So we're going to reencode the video to .mov, which is a format that iTunes should recognize in our feed. Unfortunately, the movie won't be playable on your iPod unless you convert it yourself. But that's a small price to pay, considering most of our listeners simply grab the show off the site or on iTunes.

If all goes well, it should be out sometime today! Sorry about the wait. ;_;

[The Unsung Plumber]

Unfortunately, the movie won't be playable on your iPod unless you convert it yourself. But that's a small price to pay, considering most of our listeners simply grab the show off the site or on iTunes.Well, That won't be a problem for me, my comp. is so old that if I play a video bigger than a couple of inches, It will freeze up, so I have convert them to my ipod anyway.

Pixie: Since you're a Mac user, check out iSquint (http://www.isquint.org/) for easily encoding iPod-compatable videos.

While I haven't really been able to help with the vid stoof, I can tell ya how hard pixie has been working on it, and her efforts have finally paid off:

EPISODE 053 (W/ MULTIPLE DIFFERENT VIDEO ENCODINGS) WILL BE RELEASED TONIGHT AT 11:00PM!

Don't forget the popcorn. ;)

[Jillian Aversa]

VGDJ: EPISODE #053 "DAY OF THE VIDEOCAST" IS NOW AVAILABLE AT VGDJ.NET!!! (http://www.vgdj.net)

Yes, the wait is finally up! I do apologize for how long it took to crank this thing out. There were many problems during the reencoding process, as I'm sure some of you have read. But this being our first ever videocast, we wanted to give you the best quality we could. The bulk of the vid is footage from our panel at Otakon, but there are other goodies as well!

That being said, we have three different resolutions for you to choose from: low (70 MB), normal (130 MB), and high (400 MB). Take yer pick, and enjooooyyyy... ^-^

P.S. Very special thanks to Jiggles McPuff for recording the panel, and Kroze for all his help with the reencoding!

[Kroze]

And the video came out really really REALLY good from its "First" version *CoughcoughLightingHelpsALotcough*...
Still, hopfully the three diffrent versions shall satisfy everyone on any connection they might have (Except for those poor poor 56kers... Its amazing those sad bastards still exist..).
And the Panel came out great!

[Moguta]

No you two didn't! Day of the Tentacle?!?!
Utter hilarity.

VGDJ is simply getting too good at making me laugh. Enough already! =x

EDIT: Well, darn, just from the intro I thought it was you guys dressed as the tentacles. But still, wonderfully silly video of 'em. ;D And seeing the panel makes me wish I could've attended. D:

[Zarggg]

Saw video. Is like. Is like a lot!

Need more videos. :P

[Cerrax]

Awesome. Just...awesome.

NowI feel like an ass for not going to Otakon. (I'm not really a big fan or even a mediocre fan of most anime so I generally stay away from cons. Too much weirdness).

[Jillian Aversa]

Haha, you thought that was us, Chris? I WISH we were that awesome... But now both the green *and* purple tentacles have registered on OCR, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of them. ^-^

[Abadoss]

I never got to play that game all the way through... :cry:

Anyway, good show. I think I understand what you meant by color show now... 8O :wink: :P That would have to be the most smilies I've used in a single post...

Pixietricks, you make me giggle.

[Dhsu]

Think it'd be a good idea to set up a torrent for the high quality movie or something? Might save a lot of bandwidth.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Worked fine for me in multiple video players (which is saying something considering it's in .mov format). Real One Quicktime & VLC, and those are just the ones I tried. :P

I'd expect that if you get this error you just need to update/download some different codecs or software. I personally have like 8 video players; no matter how perfect any one player is having several back-ups so that ONE works is better.

It's also possible your download was corrupted by any other number of factors.

[DrumUltimA]

I'm not on my normal computer because I'm on vacation but unfortunately I can't watch it either :[ It asked me to download an mpeg4 codec and then would only play sound. I'll just have to wait till i'm at jill's to watch :D

In Soviet Russia, you rape tentacle!

Edit: Also, I'm sure most of you are aware already, but to clarify to those not in the know, these guys actually aren't cosplaying as stereotypical hentai tentacles. They are, in fact, dressed up as the Purple and Green Tentacles from the LucasArts classic Day of the Tentacle. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_tentacle)

[Jillian Aversa]

Ja, we know. That's why we named the show "Day of the Videocast." :D

Anywho, for those people receiving the compressor error message: which version did you download? Low, normal, or high res? I wanna see if there is a problem with any one of those files specifically. All of them work for me, but hey, you never know.

I noticed that Abadoss posted in our blog about that error message, but whatever it was, he seems to have fixed it? Can you tell the others what you did?

Doug: I have no idea why it would ask you for an mp4 codec... the movies are MOV. :dstrbd:

EDIT: Woops, that comment wasn't from Abadoss. My bad. Anyway, if you are getting the error message, that probably means you need to upgrade to Quicktime 7! But it should play in other players as well, like VLC etc.

[CE]

Haha, this videocast was awesome. It's amazing how professional VGDJ looks to the outsider. I mean, I'm sure it is, but to us, it feels like a cosy personal project instead of a behemoth ranking no.1 on the music radio list. I bet it was really fun. Also, I wish the tentacle had sung Gerudo Valley but ok. Jill hugged him anyway :lol:

And I think I speak for all of us when I say we share the same feelings as pretzel painting guy.

So yeah, overall great show, keep the good stuff coming.

PS Doug is awesome, he went on skype and made a live preformance for me with lover's reef and everything. It was awesome. Also, at the same time, I found out my mic was broken and now I have none :(
Have a good vacation.

[DrumUltimA]

Jill, I downloaded the smallest version (it was the only one that took less than ten minutes to dl here XD)

Can't wait for the show! Hopefully wont have any problems playing it :?

[The_Alieo]

yay great pod cast guys, definatey worth the wait, yay to the tenticles!

[Kroze]

In response to peoples codec problems
You MUST have Quicktime version 7.1 (I actually think that is the newest version) due to the type of compression that was used to get the video small...
You can find the codec free on quicktime.com

I am sorry if this causes anyone any problems.

Yes, VGDJ was released on Sunday/Monday midnight as usual, in case some of you didn't notice!

I have to admit it's been quite awhile since I've listened to the show, but I'm listening now and it's as good as ever. ;) Though you totally slaughtered mine and Kureejii Lea's names, pixie! :lol:

[zircon]

Hey guys, just as a heads up we won't have a show for you this Monday. pixietricks has some important auditions coming up (and a roommate moving in), and I have to work on some music projects that I've been putting off for awhile now. Ah, real life. ;) Anyway, perhaps it is for the better as 1500 STILL isn't out yet... when we do record #055 I'm sure it will be. I promise we'll have some nice coverage of it.

[M@DM@X]

Anyone else having trouble watching the movie? I'm getting one of these:

That's because you use windows.

lol I called in this morning cause I thought I found the composer for the Tetris Music.... well it turns out I found out who invented the Game NOT the composer of the music.... lol silly Omega trix are for kids..

[Jillian Aversa]

Yeah, I heard your call and I was like, "Huhhh? That doesn't solve the mystery..." ^_~

[CE]

I don't know what the debate over tetris music is but...

* The theme tune used in the Game Boy edition of Tetris (Music A) has become very widely known, to the point that it is the theme song of level 20 of Tetris DS, even though that level is based on the NES version of Tetris. It is a Russian folk tune called "Korobeyniki" or "Korobeiniki."
* Music A in the NES version is "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy," a tune noted to be scene 14c of act two of The Nutcracker, which was composed by Tchaikovsky.
* Music B in the Tengen version is the Kalinka, a famous Russian song written by Ivan Petrovich Larionov
* Music C in the Game Boy version is an arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Suite No. 3 In B Minor, BWV 814, IV. Menuett - Trio.

Wait does that mean that those songs are technically not originally made for the game so they shouldn't be on OCR? I sure hope not, and I would think that this has been addressed long before I started coming here, so don't mind this noob comment then.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!

We also lovingly crafted a little video treat for y'all. Check it out at http://www.vgdj.net/ ! :)

[Jillian Aversa]

OMG VIDEO! ^

[Ranael]

The video episode was awesome. I love the clips of the live performances. Djpretzel sounded awesome and Pixietricks was heavenly and beautiful too. So are there going to be anymore video podcasts in the future?

[Jillian Aversa]

Welllll, we did just release a little video, but I guess it doesn't count as a full out show. Still, I'm sure there will be more of those in the future, although we will be sticking primarily to audio format.

[CE]

I love seeing VGDJ on the little top ten list at podcast alley.com's mainpage. It's like "HUUH YEAH! Imposing my podcast choices on everyone else! Take that podcasts below VGDJ!"

Feels good :D

[Ranael]

[andyjayne]

Not only in the top 10, but 2nd overall. Nice.

[Jillian Aversa]

:D

[CE]

So I got to watching the video (couldn't back there) and uh... yeah...

lol


Those were some strange... positions... and stuff. Anyway, what did you use for the music. Because maybe you could've used stuff from Command and Conquer? Hah, just a sugestion.

VGDJ takes a turn to the videocast. I like.

[Jillian Aversa]

It was Star Salzman's Bionic Commando remix. ^_~

[Splunkle]

Last time I checked, you guys were number 1 in Music and Radio, and number 5 overall.

Number 5, people. Nice. :D

[Old Man Time]

voteCount++;

However, dropped to #6 overall... But still, #6! That's pretty awesome guys. Let's keep up the voting. #1 is only a few clicks away (well, many clicks actually).

[Jillian Aversa]

Yes, we are doing very well so far! Eventually we'll probably be bumped out of the top 10, simply because the Harry Potter shows and others have such a huge following. But hey, that's cool! This is great, guys. Thanks for the support!

EDIT:

VGDJ Episode #055 has been released! (http://www.vgdj.net)

Sadly, zircon couldn't be here tonight to make this post because the hurricane thoroughly destroyed his phone and internet capabilities... Which also means that the shownotes will be slightly delayed. BUT it's still a great show, as we got to record this one together in person, during the storm. Fun times. ^_~

So download, and votsies (http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=4140)!

SHOW'S RELEASED

VGDJ Website (http://vgdj.net/)

This week on the show all about the music and community of OverClocked ReMix (http://www.ocremix.org/):

Care for a spot of tea? No? Then perhaps OCR's 1500th remix will strike your fancy. That's right: #1500 has finally been released, which means that not only is VGDJ back in action, but the community has picked up steam as well. We've got the inside scoop on this latest wave of site changes, along with a full compliment of reports, reviews, voicemails, and all that good stuff. Listen as your beloved hosts brave Baltimore's fiercest tropical storm, turning rain into fair English skies. Plus a stinger we think will truly move you... to tears! >:) What a lovely day for a stroll in Episode 055, wouldn't you agree, my deah?

EDIT: Pixie cheated =(

[Salty]

OMG VGDJ IS ON TEH INTARWEBZ EVRY1 DOWNLOOOOOAD.

I just found vgdj like last week and i really like it. You guys work really well together. Just listened to this weeks show :).

Drumultima telling us all to go die made me laugh lots. I voted aswell, you guys should be #1.

</fanmode>

[Jillian Aversa]

Thanks, Fishy! Glad you're listening and enjoying. :D

[Fishy]

Whoa quick reply.

Out of interest, assuming you guys arent in the same place normally (based on the fact you made a big deal of the fact you were together this time), how do you guys record it all normally?

[Jillian Aversa]

Normally, we talk on Skype and each record our own ends of the conversation with microphones/headsets and free audio programs such as Audacity and Cacophony. Then they are edited together, along with background music and special clips, for the show!

[Fishy]

Yeah, i figured you guys must use headsets cause otherwise there'd be echoes or whatever.

Thanks for the info. :)

[tyler_lucero]

Another awesome show this week. Jill (can I call you Jill? lol), I hope your auditions went well...and Zircon, I gotta say I love your WiP; I only wish I could contribute some sugguestions. hmmm...working on that one...it's totally awesome that you guys recorded the show together during a hurricane! Something tells me this one's going down in VGDJ lore...

VGDJ ftw! :D

[RepressedChaos]

Just a question, have you guys ever considered doing like a big VGDJ Torrent because I was gone most of the summer and missed like 10 podcasts and I really don't feel like downloading them each individualy :P

Not even gonna comment on that alblum image :(

Anyway, we've got some news for everyone regarding our release schedule...

Episode 056 of VGDJ will be released on Saturday, September 9th!

We're going to try this schedule and see how it works, but I think it's gonna be awesome. No longer will you have to stay up late Sunday nights to be the first person on your block to get the latest episode of the show! Now, you can enjoy our late Friday night chats in #vgdj, pick up the new episode when the clock strikes 12:00, sit back, and relax with the knowledge that you've got the whole weekend ahead of you. Pretty boss, huh? ;)

Also, this makes it a little easier for us since we'll be busier during the school year, and doing the show a few days earlier gives us our weekends off... and I think we're gonna need 'em for this term.

[atmuh]

nice. I'd rather sleep Sunday nights.

[Rexy]

No matter what I still have to wait until 5 in the morning, so I'd still be dozing while the release comes through. :P Interesting move, mind you.

[CE]

Much better. Now I can listen to it monday at school during boring philosophy classes.

[zircon]

In the words of the Bay City Rollers, it's SATURDAY, and as such...

Episode 056 of VGDJ has been released, and is now available at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

While the filesize of this episode is a bit more manageable than has been the trend lately, make no mistake; we've got tons of good stuff on this one... including a stinger that I really enjoyed contributing to ;) Gogogo download!!!

[Jillian Aversa]

Duuuuude... VGDJ... is oooooouuuut... Y'all asleep on a Friday/Saturday? We changed our release schedule! ^-^

[atmuh]

I probably should be asleep.






but I'm not.

[Splunkle]

Love the stinger, guys. Also, I approve of this release schedule change - it means the show comes out around 2:00pm on saturday for me, which is great as I can grab it then, and listen to it on the weekend - as opposed to during the week when I should be studying.

[FiremanJoe]

I've downloaded, but not listened yet, I'll probably do so tomorrow. New release schedule is much better. :) I hated waiting till monday afternoon. :P

[Jillian Aversa]

Awesome! I'm glad the release schedule is working out better for everyone. I think a large portion of our listeners still haven't realized that we released a show Saturday, given the number of thread posts and responses we've gotten, but they should figure it out by Monday. ^_~

[Manic Cinq]

I was pleasantly surprised by the Saturday release. I just woke up and there the show was, waiting for me. :o

[Zarggg]

I was surprised. I was all, "What's up with you, Juice? VGDJ shouldn't be out yet!"

[Zephrwest]

Yay our VGDJ goodness out on a Saturday...what could be any better ^_^

.:ZW:.

[zircon]

The newest episode of "The Next Level", with Becky Young and Brian DiDomenico, has been released and is now available at www.gamemusicradio.com (http://www.gamemusicradio.com)!

But wait, why did I post about that here? Because it's the episode that contains our interview! :D It might not be VGDJ, but it came out very well and was a whole lot of fun to do. Instructions for how to listen to it have been posted at www.vgdj.net - enjoy!

[Jillian Aversa]

Yaaaaa... And I should mention that this show features the EXCLUSIVE DEBUT of our sweet new FF7 collab, which we're saving up for the project. You can't hear it anywhere else!!! XD

[avaris]

the interview was awesome...2 comments real quick...mix was awesome extremely well put together

In defense and support of all yankee haters and boston red sox supporters YANKEES SUCK, hack cough...

Also the sat release shedule is a wicked good idea :D

[Jillian Aversa]

Bam, bam, bam! Avaris, I'm finding it hard not to like you. :mrgreen:

Very proud of our FF7 collab. We were gonna keep it under wraps until the project release, but this seemed like a really neat way to debut it without giving it away to the whole community. Only the most die-hard VGDJ fans will reap the rewards of listening to our interview, eh eh?

Gonna quote this, since it's a page old now and some may have missed it:

Ok, wow. I just listened to the new remix. All I have to say is this is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. Great job guys. Can't wait till the project is completed.

I enjoyed the interview, too. :)

[Crazyonr1]

Heh, If Zircon was selling those cookie-meat abominations, I might just buy the "Remixing Fuel" that they speak of.

Oh yeah, and Bawls are awesome

[JSMc]

It's time for Animaniacs, and we're zany to the max...

[zircon]

Cookie-meat abominations? Don't laugh! I'm going to be rich with those.

Anyway, thought you guys might want to know that Brian and Becky created a *promo mp3* for "The Next Level" featuring... us! It's both well-produced and very funny; both pixie and I were laughing at loud in several parts. You can download it here:

http://www.vgdj.net/Misc/gmr_promo.mp3

And if you haven't heard the interview already, it's still available at www.gamemusicradio.com - check out our second latest news post at www.vgdj.net for more info.

I just had a question guys. Who's that sexy guy on the show called Fragment? He's so lewd and funny. He should get his own section of the Answering Machine. It should be labeled "Fo shizzle Frag-dizzle." What do you think?

:nicework:

I'm pretty much as 'little' as they come.

Don't worry, I'll stand as the last bastion from hostile takeover.

I, my friend, am even smaller than you are. But no matter what, I will always love my VGDJ!

On a side note, didn't know you lived in Menonomie, Cyan_Ide. I think thats only around an hour from me (I'm in Waukesha). Wisconsin meetup! Or maybe not. I've only seen a couple other members from this great dairy state, not to mention I'm 17, w/o a car and w/ parents that would probably not approve of meeting up with some people I met over the internet. When they think of meeting people in RL after talking to them in internet "chat rooms" or whatever they think of specials on TV about child molesters and date rapes.

You won't rape me, will you? :cry:

It's time for the weekend, and we got your hookup:

Episode 057 (Flow Basket part 2) of VGDJ has been released, and is now available at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

If 056 could be compared to a grilled chicken sub, 057 would be a 16 inch meatball sub on garlic bread with extra cheese. Yeah, that's right, I went there. ;) Anyway, we had a lot of fun recording this one, so hopefully you'll all get a kick out of it - and of course, there's also the second installment of the Flow Basket included for all you aspiring ReMixers out there...

(the white text about the canopy is a little hard to read, but it's there!)

[Snooper_1989]

Great show, I haven't even finished listening and it's awesome already. ;D

[Jillian Aversa]

Hooray! Thanks, Snoop. Mad props to zircon for really pulling off this show. I wasn't available to help with the editing and such. (And boy, did we ramble!)

[JSMc]

Another great show! I'm really enjoying the Flow Basket segment. Can't wait for the next one!

[Splunkle]

Everytime I hear Zircon do his smooth jazz thing, I want him to do Command and Conquer mixes. Though why the 909, zircon? Why the 909?

Nice episode, guys.

ZOMG PIXIE'S GOT A CRUSH

[CE]

I second this. OCR needs more command and conquer remixes. I don't know if it was myf or zircon who I told this, but someone get on it guys!

[Nineko]

Hey, it asks for my email when I vote. I don't like to give out my email :(












But you guys are too great, so I voted anyway. And only ONCE, not behind a proxy, as requested ;)

[Cyan_Ide]

Oh man, VGDJ no longer has the judge vs no judge aspect. We need someone to represent us little people, what have you done jill!

The show mechanics...they have been smashed!!

Haha, joking.

Unfortunately, I believe that you have the wrong Menomonie. I live in "Menomonie," which is in western Wisconsin, just east of Minneapolis. It looks like you're thinking "Menomonee Falls." There's a Menominee, Wisconsin in the north central area. There's also a Menominee Michigan just across the border in eastern Wisconsin, too, just to add to the confusion. My grandfather lives in Mukwanago and worked in Waukesha before he retired, though, if it's any consolation. :P

[Crazyonr1]

I was listening to 057, and what if Zircon SUBMITTED THE METALMAN REMIX FOR ALL OF THE LISTENERS! whether you submit it for a rigorous prejudging by the vgdj fourmgoers, is up to you

Just an idea, espeically if the Metalman mix is going to be a several episode idea.

[zircon]

Haha! That is my plan, actually. I'll sub it via email like any other ReMixer and we'll see what happens.

[Daniel Rydell]

Hey, I love your guys show. That's why I made this shiny userbar in my signature. Keep up the good work, and maybe I'll call the voicemail again! (DJ.)

Edit: Hm. Didn't work. And continues to hate. Let's work on this for a second. Either way, here's the link. http://underground.das-brick.org/misc/vgdjuserbar.jpg

[Jillian Aversa]

Aw, how thoughtful! I can't fit it in my sig, but who knows, maybe more people will start showing their pride. (By the way, the banners that zircon and I have in our sigs are also free for anyone to use!) Anybody? Anybody?

I'm doing my part,
ARE YOU?
Show your VDGJ pride, or face the wrath of N00b!

[Daniel Rydell]

Why yes. Yes, I am. (Got it to work! AHAH!)

Edit: All I ask is that you host it on your own server. I'm borrowing webspace from a good friend of mine, and I don't want to overload his site.

Please? ^_^

Done. I thank you, and I'm sure N00b thanks you as well.

EDIT: 1 page to 200! Congrats! oh and 50+ episodes, being in the top ten @ podcast ally and all that jazz...

[Daniel Rydell]

Thanks! We can be friends now. :P lol Back on topic though... Zircon, curiosity. Do you plan on doing more eps of the Flow Basket?

[zircon]

Of course!

[Daniel Rydell]

<little kid> When I grow up, I wanna be just like Zircon! </little kid>

[atmuh]

When I grow up I wanna be just like a silly final fantasy boss

[chfuji]

This episode was about the goofiest I've ever heard Pixietrix be just about ever. There was probably so much fodder in this one episode for some one out there to make at least two host remixes...don't look at me I just listen and lurk.

[Martin Penwald]

Heh, when the chord progression and the bassline got played at appr. 27:00, I thought that Lover Reef was about to be played.

[Jillian Aversa]

Me too, actually. Sounds like the same synth patch.

[zircon]

Because... it is! "Fivepad" from the Pro-53 VST. Why reinvent the wheel, I say. ;)

Damn, you're right. I was thinking of Menomonee Falls. I didn't even know there was another Menomonee. That's unfortunate.

VGDJ rock on!

[Jiggles Mcpuff]

Ok, I just got done listening to the interview you guys did on gamemusicradio.com and heard the song you guys did and DAMN, that kicks ass! That kicks so much ass that I think I just busted. Zircon is AMAZING at what he does and Pixie, you're voice is just beautiful! You blew their freaking socks off with that one. Haha. They were quite speechless. Wow... I swear to god I can't wait until that shizzy is released so I can put it on my ipod! Muuuust haaave....


Wow... You guys should do more together, SRSLY!!!!1
:D

....damn, just... DAMN!!!

[Antipode]

Excellent episode.

[José the Bronx Rican]

VGDJ amazes me.

I grinned ear-to-ear when zirc said he's big on smooth jazz and Paul Hardcastle, because I've been the biggest fiend for his music since "Rainforest." I'm talkin' two decades. I also snapped my fingers saying "damn, I wanted to be first to emulate his Synclavier stylings in a future ReMix."

Then you talk about how "pixie loves her 'hoo-hoos'," and I couldn't have been the only one thinking, "I'm pretty sure everyone loves her-
WELCOME TO DOUBLE-ENTENDRE LAND, WHERE EVERYTHING COMES IN TWOS AND YOUR FAVORITE BAND IS THE STROKES!
....Anyway, that "hoo-hoo" is a percussion instrument called the cuica, something that should be known to folks who program drums in MIDI.

There is a way to download the interview as an MP3, and then theoretically cut out the song. Just find the url for the specific show in Winamp and save target as.

[The Unsung Plumber]

Well, I like the interview and the new song is awesome!(Sings along loudly and off key with pixie)


EDIT: 1st post on page 200!

Edit 2: sorry pixie :(

[The Lone Gunman]

2nd POST OF PAGE 200!
Heres to 200 more pages of VGDJ related nonsense! W00T!

[Jillian Aversa]

There is a way to download the interview as an MP3, and then theoretically cut out the song.
Yeah, you can go here [link removed] for the MP3 and edit out the interview, that's what I did.
NO, PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT!
Two reasons:

1) Brian and Becky of GMR stream their shows for good reason. Don't violate the trust we have with them!

2) Zircon and I don't want our collab to be out, and especially not passed around, until the project released. Please respect our wishes!

EDIT: Thanks for removing the link from your post, Plumber dude. ^_~

[Jiggles Mcpuff]

Yeah, I was figuring they didn't want it released. They specifically said they didn't want it released prematurely, which is why they didn't play it on their show, so peeps wouldn't have the mp3 and could do that. I wanted to wait for the release anyway. It'll be more exciting that way.

[zircon]

Friiiiiday night! And we're feeling fine! But now it's Saturday! And it's time for..

Episode 058 of VGDJ! Pick it up at www.vgdj.net (http://www.vgdj.net)!

This one's definitely king-size, weighing it at just over an hour... but don't worry, we've got more than enough content (including a big ol' interview with bgc) to keep ya occupied. :) ENJOY!

Glad you guys liked the stinger ;) We were worried it might have been too random, but it was so much fun to do that we ended up using it anyway.

Henceforth, it shall now be called, shttyjdgfgtn00bzDJ!

j/k great show, by the way.

I think Family Guy has proven that there is no longer such a thing as too random. :wink:


Anyway on Thursday night I gave this to LAOS to give to you guys (by now I assume you know what I'm talking about...). Quickly whipped it up on the spot, but I found it funny enough to release publically.

AWESOME!

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Oh... heh... I guess I don't need to attach this in this my e-mail to VGDJ anymore. :P

Anyway yeah, :nicework: q-pa.

[dish]

Hopefully this still gets to page 200 :D

A little about what zircon says about Sixto Sounds' Twin Blood. The original tune is from Double Dragon II; specifically the tune played during the fight against the final boss (when he can no longer make himself invisible). The tune our good hosts heard in The Next Level was the main theme of Double Dragon (I think it was from the first game, but I'm not too sure).
To summarize, the 2 tunes are different; though probably our elemental host (I think it's not a coincidence that he knew that tune from Elemental Master :D) detect some degree of similarity between them.

And great silly stinger! Made me laugh :)

[zircon]

Ah man, you're right. Wow, I lose on two counts. :( I guess no Double Dragon love from me... I admit, I only played the game a couple times.
