VGDJ: The Official OCR Podcast

[The Joker]

Yeah, I'll vote for you guys when you gimme some more episodage.

[Jillian Aversa]

Heh heh. Well, if all goes well, we should be back on track for next week!

[The wingless]

o rly?

[Compyfox]

Less talky, more Aurora plz, thnx.

[Jillian Aversa]

Less talky, more Aurora plz, thnx.
News flash: Aurora hasn't been doing the show for over two months now.

[Compyfox]

Yeah... we found a "suitable replacement". *cough*

VGDJ to me is still, and will be, the original only if the canadian fraction does it. Else... it's just not VGDJ. Sorry if I hurt your ego.

Pixielust notwithstanding, wtf?

[Darangen]

I just think it's funny that he put double quotes around ego.

Maybe it's a cultural thing.

[the post I responded to was deleted... bastards.]

[Compyfox]

I removed the ".

[D-Lux]

And as long as it's just you complaining, we don't give a fuck.

Oh damn, I hope I didn't hurt your http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/882/ego0bm.png just then. Sorry about that.

[Compyfox]

Wow... OCR has turned into a kindergarden. You say something, you stand to your own opinion and get flamed to hell.

I'm so proud of you, Steve.


And I stick to it - like it or not:
VGDJ is only VGDJ if Aurora and Rayza do the show. Else it's not VGDJ. It's as if VGF is without Larry Oji... is it still VGF? I guess not.

But sure... go ahead - do whatever you have to do. Nobody forces me to listen, and nobody forces me to give any support (which also counts to the torrents).

Again... two tumbs up...

[Liontamer]

How about y'all shutup and stop fighting? :lol:

We need to agree that the podcast ladies are phone sexy in their own vocal-related way. Not that anyone actually competes with mine..."GIANTSQUID" (http://ffmq.olremix.org/mp3/remixes/Misstik_Kwest_-_Christian_Pacaud_-_GIANTSQUID_VS_Killer_Seals.mp3)

[CE]

Heheh. This is what the OCReMix is about! I have listened to the Episode #030. Unfortunately I can't understand everything there. But it looks really awesome.

Ehn...I am not a portuguese dude as was mentioned there. I am brazilian.

By the way pixietricks, my name is pronounced 'chi' (sounding eye). :)

That's me! Respect! Keep up the amazing work Rayza and Pixie (and Aurora?!)

E se começassemos uma sub-discussão Txai? Vives bem aí no Brazil?

[Jillian Aversa]

Compyfox has an amazing ability to derive the worst-case scenario from all my posts... All I said was that Aurora hasn't been doing the show for two months, because your comment made it seem like you were expecting her to return soon. That is all. The ego's on you, buddy. I would have said the same whether or not I happened to be the replacement. :roll:

Nobody asked you to have anything to do with this show, and nobody's gonna complain if you withdraw your torrent "support." You create more problems than you fix, anyway, simply by flashing around that attitude.

[D-Lux]

Wow... OCR has turned into a kindergarden. You say something, you stand to your own opinion and get flamed to hell.

Yes, I agree Compy. Taking cheap shots at a generous soul who's taking time from her own busy life to do something positive for the community is definately kindergarden level. And in case you don't know what that is, take the example of zircon making the remixing tips thread and getting beef for that.

Your problem is that you don't know how to be thankful for something that doesn't fit your ideals, no matter the time, effort, or dedication it takes. My radio show (not trying to be self centered here, just making a point), Chrono Symphonic, and now VGDJ. If it's not 110% enjoyable, it's not worth your time.

Compy, I'm making a simple request of you right now. Tell me some things (that I would know about) that you do enjoy. Name some people, events, and things that you really enjoy. I don't want it here, I want it in a PM, because this thread is not for our discussion. I'll of course forgive you if I'm "not worth your time," an excuse you've used in multiple conversations you've had with me, simply because I know you have so many more important things to do in your life. But if you could, find some time to PM me that answer. I'd be honored to hear your response, and that's not being sarcastic.

VGDJ is only VGDJ if Aurora and Rayza do the show. Else it's not VGDJ. It's as if VGF is without Larry Oji... is it still VGF? I guess not.

I'd talk about your VG Frequency replacement shows, but I'll save that ammo for another battle.

[DrumUltimA]

Less talky, more Aurora plz, thnx.

None of these things are particularly nice. Some opinions, though okay to have them, are better unsaid. In this situation, I don't think you shouldn't think what you think about VGDJ--but rather, if it sounds like something that may potentially piss someone off, it's probably better that you keep that to yourself. Not only do you spare that person's feelings, but you avoid dealing with the drama that is caused by that initial wayward statement. And getting personal with people is never a good idea either. To your defense, I wouldn't've replied as argumentatively as jill and steve did, but nonetheless I wouldn't've been happy to hear that either.

And yes, I know it's the internet, and people say that you shouldn't take the internet seriously, and I agree with that as well. But it's not an excuse to be mean ;D

[Txai]

E se começassemos uma sub-discussão Txai? Vives bem aí no Brazil?

Eu vivo aqui. Se vivo bem? Não sei. Hahaha...

But yeah. I can't wait for the next episo...

This is very nice. I love it a lo...

Really good jo...

[Compyfox]

I'd talk about your VG Frequency replacement shows, but I'll save that ammo for another battle.

Crimson Moon wore only "once" the tag "VGF: Crimson Moon" (which was the beta show) and I had permission to do a show at Larry's slot. Not to mention that this was a testrun for Larry to do shows via a different system than the WMRE studios. You can ask him and he'll confirm that. But this is not an issue here.

And yeah... internet sure is serious bussiness. Maybe I should start a livejournal about that. ;)

[Jillian Aversa]

For the record, Compy, I was not a "self-proclaimed replacement" or whatever it is you said in your angry email to Rayza. Both of them ASKED me to step in. I never wanted to be the next Aurora, because- guess what? We are different people. Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but I know the only reason you are stating it is to continue this little vendetta you have against me. Give it a rest.

[jmr]

See what happens when we don't get our weekly dose of VGDJ? :lol:

[Compyfox]

...to continue this little vendetta you have against me. Give it a rest.

A vendetta I didn't start. But I give it a rest, cause there's a saying... "the wise gives in".

[Mr. Fox]

See what happens when we don't get our weekly dose of VGDJ? :lol:

So true...

[SosusOCR]

Wow...

Somebody needs a hug

[Jillian Aversa]

Okay, good news. Talked to Rama and he said ThaSauce would be glad to do the VGDJ torrent from now on, so looks like MajiNinjA will be our main guy. Thanks, dudes! ^_^

[Aurora]

hey ya'll

Setting the record straight:

Me no time to do show, Pixie do show. Pixie do good job. Enjoy show still.

We were supposed to do a show together yesterday. Blame me for that I flaked out.

Now I gotta go vote.


VGDJ FOREVA!

[Arcana]

I actually listened to almost all of the new VGDJ shows. WOW YOU MENTIONED ME AND MY PH.D PLANS LIKE WAY BACK IN NOVEMBER. THANKS GUYS. :o :) :)

We need your guidance. And your love! (http://www.thewingless.com/music/mp3s/auroramix.mp3)

[Jillian Aversa]

Aurora = Q-T 4evR!

Rayza and I might record a show tonight, since the forums are finally back. So stick around! ^_^

I had a weird dream last night that the two of them were together in Canada and I was talking to them via Skype from some roadside stop in the middle of nowhere. We were playing a game of virtual hide-and-seek, and they hid under a blanket. There was tickling involved... :dstrbd:

I'm new here, but I love Pixie doing the show. She rocks, as does all VGDJ, in all it's glory, with or without Aurora. I hope to see a three person show in the future, and keep up all the great work you all three do, thanks for the remixes, and keep up that wonderful work.

I'm also anxious for new remixes from pixie... they are always so mind-blowingly beautiful. :D

[The Joker]

... Pixie that dream you had was both disgusting... & strangely... seductive. And I fully expect to get a shout out from you Pix... along the lines of "I love you Joker, from OCR as opposed to the Batman comics!" during the next show.

Edited for Grammar... or Grammer... mmm, graham crackers.

[Jillian Aversa]

And what do I get in return, huh, Joker? ^_~

[Arcana]

Can I get love as well?

I'll return the favour! Everything you do to me, I'll do back to you!

[The Joker]

as is everything pixie does aparently, just viseted you site. great voice.

[FiremanJoe]

I too, expect a bit of love.
I'm an Aussie, you know you want to love me. ;)

... and if in fact you don't, then just give me a new episode of damn VGDJ. I go to the site about three times a day to check if you've done a new one yet(Do you log IPs? if so, youll see my grinning face there). Give me my VGDJ fix dammit!! It's been a month.. I don't know if I can take it anymore!

[Jillian Aversa]

I feel the same way. Unfortunately, I can't do the show by myself, so it all depends on whether or not Rayza shows up. :?

[tgfoo]

Wait, what's the deal with Rayza?

[MagiNinjA]

so liek, i have to do the torrents!?!?!?

wait wait, does that mean compy isn't going to do them anymore??

cool down the hostilities please :)

pixie: my name is spelled MagiNinjA
with a j, you make me sound like some punk or somethin'

[Cyan_Ide]

Well, she didn't ENTIRELY miss the mark....

;)

[GodspeedYouBlackEmperor]

That's a damned dirty shame.

[Jillian Aversa]

Still no sign of him. It isn't looking hopeful for a show this week...

[Kadosho]

Pixie, wonder what happened. Hope he sends an email your way.
Letting you know if recordning the show's been delayed for today. Something at least.

[Eric19]

I hope im wrong, but I get a gut feeling that will never see another VGDJ episode, at least not for a very long time.

[Cyan_Ide]

Kudos for the overwhelmingly positive attitude. :roll:

[Jillian Aversa]

Whether or not Rayza decides to come back, I would like to go on with the show. It's good for the community, and fun! But that's up to him and Aurora, of course. I won't do anything without their permission, and if they want VGDJ to die with them, then that's that.

Maybe djpretzel would endorse a new "official ocremix podcast"... Who knows.

I just bought a crapload of recording equipment to do voiceover work projects for myself. No promises but - it might be interesting to do :)

Oh the mind boggles...

[Fusion2004]

Whoa, Rayza went missing?

When was this? And why wasn't I informed?

[J-Witz]

Hi Pixietricks! Sorry to hear things haven't been working out with VGDJ lately - I've enjoyed listening to your podcasts. Wish there was some way we listeners could help get this going again...

[sephfire]

Sooooo ...

I've spent the last tweek trying to catch up on all the VGDJ shows I had fallen behind on over the last few months and um ... I'm starting to run out of shows ...

.... yeeeeeeaaahhhhh ....

Please don't die, VGDJ. You wouldn't want my life to get boring, would you?

[SosusOCR]

As much as I'd hate to see the current podcast format to go the way of the Dodo at the same time I kind of like the idea of listening to "The Wingless Show"

I'm hoping that VGDJ doesn't end up like the chrono symphonic did, and be forever to return. This severely upsets me. :cry:

[Jillian Aversa]

Talked to Aurora and she gave Wangless and I the go-ahead. So it's all up to Rayza now... :P

Wangless... Sometimes its good to laugh like a six year old. Anyhoo I hope everything works out... be it the podcast stays in its current format or we get something new, its all good. Thanks Pixie

(ps: cyanide - it's innerphalanx from ftl chatroom a long time ago.)

[Jillian Aversa]

I emailed Rayza about stuff over the weekend. No response yet. I'm waaaaaiiiiting. (taps foot a la Sonic)

[Monobrow]

oh my ears can't wait


Oh just kidding. Good luck.

[The wingless]

Got the first shipment of the mic equipment today. Still waiting on the MM-MOBILE-pre interface dealy.

My mic stand doesn't have a little clasp to hold up the microphone :(

I might have to splurge on a mic stand.

[Jillian Aversa]

Yeah, so like...VGDJ! See? Now we're back on topic.

[Typhon MacMoryn]

Yeah, so like...VGDJ! See? Now we're back on topic.

So Miss Pixietricks and Wangless, once you get the ok from Rayza, if you do the show after this, are you going to stick to the current routine, or will we be hearing anything new? What new stuff would you both like to add or change on the show?[/list]

[Cyan_Ide]

Dear Typhon and friends,

I do belive that with the current state of affairs, including the break in the longstanding VGDJ routine, as well as the possible advent of a new co-host to the VGDJ team, that a wise course of action would be a complete overhaul of the Podcast's layout. These circumstances provide ample opportunity to improve on certain aspects of the podcast proper, that were, how shall we say, a bit lacking in the show as it once was. It is the personal belief of many individuals that the implication of the competition reports laid on top of the already-solid foundations of the podcast VASTLY improved both quality, and the population of dedicated fans. Though there has been no open discussion of this particular topic, there is an undercurrent of revolution within the populace of VGDJ listeners, that this particular section, and all individuals that correspond therein should be expanded to fill a larger temporal space within the frame of the podcast. In summary, while changes such as this are a time for mourning over events and places that once were, and may no longer be, they are also a golden opportunity, an opportunity to build on the splendid and magnificent ruins of something great, to improve upon it, while still capturing the magic essence that first captivated the listeners from the first word on the first show.




:wink: hahahaha I'm just messing with you guys! Can't wait to start reporting again!!

[The wingless]

Well, what would you like changed?

[Jillian Aversa]

Always open to suggestions, although I think it may be too soon for any drastic changes. Having Wingless on the show is crazy enough as is... ^_~

[D-Lux]

Will this be your first experience in any type of radio/broadcasting, Wingless?

[Txai]

I removed my improvised episode. Sorry.

[The wingless]

Will this be your first experience in any type of radio/broadcasting, Wingless?

Broadcasting, yes.

In terms of public speaking and performing... shit no. I was seriously considering getting into voice over work until I got picked up by Midway.

[Cyan_Ide]

Awww, come on you guys, keep up. ;) I was satirically plugging myself. I thought you, at least, Mr. Wingless, would catch on. :o

So in all actuality, I really have no suggestions for improving the show at all, just trying to be jokingly facetious and self-righteous. :)

Guess I failed. :roll:

;)

[Jillian Aversa]

:lol: Cute, Txai.

EDIT:
Oh noes! Why did you remove it? Put it baaaack.

Welcome aboard!

This is the Unofficial OCReMix Podcast

My name is Txai and I hope you enjoy the show.


So...what's up?

The Valentine's Day is coming for my American buddies and such. Some People in Gen Disc seems to start a fight against girls. Oh man...stop with this, please.

Cause girls are beautiful and quite the beauty.


Aww yeah the Doom ReMixing Project started in December now. This project is going too fast.

I am working on a song of the project too. Specifically the Underhalls Theme. And...it's absolutely a honor to work in the same project of Mazedude, Prophecy, Mythril Nazgul and so on. It has some talented people there.

Oh well. This is very cool.


Ah, the Chrono Symphonic was released over one month ago. But this still kicks ass. Man, I strongly recommend you keep an eye there. Check it out.

Liontamer is still looking for people to join in The Tim Follin Arrangement Project. This one is inserted in the Request forum. If you're talented enough, you must be there.

And now in the Russian ReMix Roulette...

Sonic the hedgehog "Marble Dash" by Joshua Morse

Super Mario Land "Reel Big Mario" by JAXX

Vectorman "FloatingPointVectors" by 4-Eyes

Final Fantasy 6 "Relm WeepyLoop" by McVaffe

Dragon Warrior "Kingdom Come" by Unknown

and finally Shatterhand "Shattered" by Rubbler

All right. The show is done. I hope you liked it.

Bye!


Enjoy!

[Typhon MacMoryn]

Always open to suggestions, although I think it may be too soon for any drastic changes. Having Wingless on the show is crazy enough as is... ^_~

I'm not sure about any suggestions, because I'm not sure of all the things that could be possible, and the things that you both can do on the show. With all this equipment that you have Wingless, what sort of things can you get done that is different from the normal episode. And as a shameless plug for Pixietricks, I think she could sing for us on the episodes? lol perhaps a new intro song? perhaps interviews with some of the remixers such as DJPretzel, Destiny, Ailsean, etc.? maybe a reading of VGDJ fanmail or VGDJ fan instant messages? Like I said, I'm not sure any of my ideas are good, so I'm just wondering at the possibilities. thanks!

[Txai]

Just record to your voice in a painful microphone, talking about the news of the site, and use Goldwave to mix the OC music together. Upload the file anywhere decent enough and let us know.

Do the show by yourself.

Two questions:

1.) Who the fuck?

2.) What the fuck?

[Jillian Aversa]

So uhhh... Waiting for either Aurora or Rayza to give me the vgdj.net password, because without it we can't post updates (or shows, duh). So if y'all wanna help out with that, feel free to spam them at vgdjpodcast@gmail.com. The more nagging the better. ^_~

[q-pa]

You could always just post an episode or 2 in this thread as a loose MP3 until you get the access.


Been... too... long

Don't wanna do that, because then all the people who get the show through iTunes but never visit the thread will miss out. Plus, we're definitely not gonna have a show until next week, and I should think that by then, Aurora (or Rayza?) will have passed on the info we need.

Quoted for infinite emphasis. I already knew it is not really the podcast. But who cares? This is actually some good shit. Poor recording and awkward english makes it even hilarious. That voice looks so british and fucking hot. Good job, Txai. Seriously funny: from the ridiculous to the sublime. :wink:

[The wingless]

:?

[jmr]

That voice looks so british and fucking hot.I didn't know that a voice could 'look' British.

[DarkeSword]

As if it'd be the end of the world... :roll:

Quit being an ass. Nobody said it'd be the end of the world.

It would, however, be the end of VGDJ, which is a podcast that a lot of people listen to, and helps promote OCR. :roll:

You've already made it very clear that you don't like VGDJ in its current incarnation with its current host. Making a post like that is just a bait.

Quit posting in this thread if you're not going to be constructive.

[Compyfox]

Alright look...

Instead of whining and acting childish - which is obviously done in here like "OMG MAILBOMB THE CREATORS TO GET US A PASSWORD - ELSE VGDJ IS GONNA DIE! YOU KNOW YOU WANNA!!!" - there're a couple of possibilities. "If" (I put them in quotation marks on purpose) VGDJ is to die, then so be it. Like I said... it's not like the end of the world.


Pixietricks knowns exactly what's to be done to do an own radio show. Then why brag on and cry around for getting a "password" for VGDJ from the original creators if they don't feel like it. Would Larry give VGF out of his hands? Would D-Lux give VGMusic out of his hands? I could continue with all other shows too (Fusion Radio, Press Start, Nitro Game Injection, etc).

Isn't it easier to start something "own" rather than taking over something, even if it's hard to start at point zero? There're tons of pages out there to host podcasts. Ready to go in a couple of minutes (even layoutet). With your own show you can do whatever the hell you want. You have the brains, you have the equipment - be creative!


This is why I wrote it, not to show that I "hate" VGDJ. It's just not the same anymore. See it as your most favourite TV show - and suddenly in the middle of the season you have a totally new crew and main actors for the rest of the run of that show. Wouldn't that kinda piss you off too?

Think about it.

Compyfox? Wingless and I have spoken with Aurora, and she WANTS us to continue the show for them. If you had read earlier in the thread, you would have noticed that. She said that she envisions VGDJ very much as a community effort, and that it doesn't matter if the staff must evolve according to their personal lives. As for Rayza, who knows; he hasn't been around. But the point is, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[DarkeSword]

Maybe it's because, whether you like it or not, Pixietricks has been a part of VGDJ for a long time. Can she start her own show? Sure.

But here's the thing. VGDJ is the official podcast of OCR. That's why it's stickied and has been spotlighted numerous times. Pixietricks, who has been a part of VGDJ since the very early weeks when she stepped in for Aurora, needs information from the people who have information in order to continue VGDJ, OCR's Official Podcast.

You don't enjoy VGDJ with Pixietricks hosting it. We know that. You've said it numerous times. We get it. So just quit your complaining and spend your time doing something constructive.

[José the Bronx Rican]

Maybe I missed the post or posts in this thread in which the creator or creators have made it absolutely clear he/she/they no longer wish to continue with it. If I were in pix's position, I expect I'd need something along the lines of, "I ain't doin' the shit anymore... do your own thing if you wanna" before I go and do it. "Courtesy" is probably in wiki somewhere.
Wouldn't that kinda piss you off too?
Of course it would, but ONLY if I felt the result wasn't worth my time. So far, that's not the case (hell, I still love The Simpsons)... The opposite's your opinion, and it's a perfectly fine opinion to have. But it does bring us back to Darke's point about needlessly beating that dead horse, as opposed to simply saying, "So what? Forget Rayza and them and just do your own show."

Now I need two more cents for bus fare....

Well, of course. And read above: Aurora and I talked about it, and she gave us the go-ahead. We would not be doing this if that weren't the case. Emailed Rayza about it, too, but he's been AWOL for two months now. If we still don't hear back from them about the website password, then sure- we could easily start a new "Official OCR Podcast," but it would be a shame to lose all that history, that's all.

So just quit your complaining and spend your time doing something constructive.

Seconded - Compy, you *do* make a number of contributions to the community, but you also don't seem to realize when - even though you may only be expressing your opinion - all you're succeeding in doing is pissing people off and alienating them. When a forum moderator indicates you should stop, please do so, instead of following it up with an explanation that continues down the same path. It also seems to me this whole thing has roots in previous arguments, which are better left buried.

Next time I see either Rayza or Aurora on IRC, I'll ask them about VGDJ's status, as I'd like to see it resurrected as well. I see no need to start a new show when the domain's bought, the fanbase has been established, and the concept originated w/ Aurora and Rayza. If they don't have the time to continue physically with the show, I hope they'll lend their endorsement and be with future hosts in spirit, rather than necessitate spinoffs. It sounds like this is the case, and all that's needed is the website password - hopefully this can be obtained soon.

[Compyfox]

Internet sure is serious business...

[DarkeSword]

Internet sure is serious business...

There's nothing wrong with taking endeavors that help to promote OCR seriously. VGDJ is one of those endeavors. :roll:

[The Author]

Internet sure is serious business...

You tell me.

I mean...

You own your own domain, you have to be taking this internet thing seriously.

[Aurora]

Hi everyone


I think the idea of starting a new 'vgdj' isn't the way to go. As I say that, I realise that I haven't been around all that much due to my new job. As for Rayza, I have no idea where he is.

What is great to see is that people are willing to keep it alive and see the potential and I and Rayza saw all those months ago. I think the show is a great way to promote the wonderful music and community here, and it makes sense that the show be hosted by different people, not creating a whole new entity. That to me says there's a lack of community here.

[Zarggg]

I'd love to see VGDJ continue in its current form. Pixie would make an excellent choice for a dedicated host. I once had the idea to have 'guest co-hosts'. Maybe it's time to put this into play.

LONG LIVE EPISODE 3!

[Cyan_Ide]

Wait, Aurora posted. Does that mean we're definitely on for next week?

[The wingless]

And in an instant, I am forgotten!

[Zarggg]

Nonsense, Wingless. We just don't care. ;)

(That is, obviously, a joke. If you're a host, then you're a host. My earlier comment was merely to emphasize the 'community' aspect Aurora was referring to.)

[SosusOCR]

And in an instant, I am forgotten!

Welcome to fame, I take it your going to pop up on one of those "Where are they now?" TV shows in the next couple of weeks.

[DrumUltimA]

Alright look...

Instead of whining and acting childish - which is obviously done in here like "OMG MAILBOMB THE CREATORS TO GET US A PASSWORD - ELSE VGDJ IS GONNA DIE! YOU KNOW YOU WANNA!!!" - there're a couple of possibilities. "If" (I put them in quotation marks on purpose) VGDJ is to die, then so be it. Like I said... it's not like the end of the world.


Pixietricks knowns exactly what's to be done to do an own radio show. Then why brag on and cry around for getting a "password" for VGDJ from the original creators if they don't feel like it. Would Larry give VGF out of his hands? Would D-Lux give VGMusic out of his hands? I could continue with all other shows too (Fusion Radio, Press Start, Nitro Game Injection, etc).

Isn't it easier to start something "own" rather than taking over something, even if it's hard to start at point zero? There're tons of pages out there to host podcasts. Ready to go in a couple of minutes (even layoutet). With your own show you can do whatever the hell you want. You have the brains, you have the equipment - be creative!


This is why I wrote it, not to show that I "hate" VGDJ. It's just not the same anymore. See it as your most favourite TV show - and suddenly in the middle of the season you have a totally new crew and main actors for the rest of the run of that show. Wouldn't that kinda piss you off too?

Think about it.

Internet sure is serious business...

tee hee.

[debeerguy007]

For the record: teh drunken spy is willing to help out. don't know exactly how I could help,but I'm here for ya's, as a fellow remixer and OCR buff alike.


Oh yeah and DrumUltima... your sig scares me.

[DrumUltimA]

Oh yeah and DrumUltima... your sig scares me.

:D

[Nicole Adams]

When the show is up and running again, good luck pixie and Wangless! I'm sure you guys will do a great job continuing where Rayza and Aurora left off. :wink:

[Arcana]

This was actually somewhat expected; there were concerns that VGDJ wouldn't be able to last past the fall term when school started again. It managed to get as late as November and December, though, even on their schedules.

I like Aurora and Rayza too, CompyFox, so you're not alone in that respect, but it's so much better to have the legacy continue than it is to have NO show. Rayza and Aurora will come back to it if they have time to and can pick it up, or whatever. If we start a trend of the creators being comfortable passing on the buck, we can easily get a VGDJ legacy going on, here. VGDJ can (and should) run across a few generations of OCR.

[CE]

I miss Rayza... Where that big Canadian oaf go? Oh Rayza, where art thou?

*ahem*

Having The Wangless on the show might be pretty fun. We'd get a special section where he talks 'bout his work at whatever lamo game company he works in Do not panic, this is a joke. Nothing to see here. and how he's happy making menus for the games. He should have been around in the Final Fantasy XVIII times... Those were some seriously horrid menus. Damn.

Anyway, I know Pixie is still ok... And I guess Aurora is as well... I just hope VGDJ gets back on it's feet or embodied into a new Podcast (It's The Wingless' and Pixietricks' multiracial videogame podcast talk show!!! Bet that has never been done before...).
Good luck people!

[Jillian Aversa]

Aurora found dee password, so all is well. I've updated the blog at www.vgdj.net as a heads up for those who don't already know about the hosting changes. Also, the torrent is being hosted by ThaSauce now- seeders needed! Get in touch with Raminescence if you think you'd be willing to help. ^_^

<3

[SosusOCR]

Yah!

[Volt]

Finally some new episodes! Awesome.

Wingless better not mess up the show though. :x

heh.

[Dunnowhathuh]

Oooo, so that's what happened to the show...I've been kinda clueless as to what happened to the show for a while now (seems I've lived up to my name). I presumed that their personal lives had taken over but I decided to be arrogant and not check the thread to see what exactly happened. Personally, I think the legacy should continue and whether that be with Aurora and Rayza or pixietricks and Wingless, I don't really care. 'sides, it's a 2 and a half hr trip for me to get to uni and I need something to listen to.

[D-Lux]

You're all in for a treat when Monday rolls around. ;)

[WesPip]

You're all in for a treat when Monday rolls around. ;)
Is it donuts? I like donuts.

[Jillian Aversa]

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. Wingless and I recorded last night, so yes, there will be a show Sunday night. Sit tight. ^_^

EDIT:
Oh yeah, and VOTES are needed on Podcast Alley! I think we only have 12 or something for this month, probably because there haven't been any new shows yet, heh heh. Just go to http://www.vgdj.net and enter in your email address on the sidebar to be counted!

You've never been on VGDJ before--except to make that AuroraMix (ahh, memories... :cry: ).

And you're also not a girl. ^_^


But it all seriousness, I like your ReMixes, the community says you're good personally, and I'm interested in hearing you on new episodes of VGDJ!

[CE]

So The Wingless is confirmed on VGDJ? And a new show has been recorded? With Pixie? Well...Yay! Good luck to the new hosts. Also, will we be seeing some VGDJ exclusive, trademark Wingless piano on the show?

[The wingless]

you'll be hearing exclusive STFU!

[Broken]

Just voted. I admit that I haven't listened to a show in a while, but that just makes me all the more eager for this one. Best of luck to Pixie and Wingless

[Zarggg]

Vorted again. Poke me when March comes around. ;)

Sure, you mean for just this week's episode? Just use the description from the website:

"This week on the show about video game music remixes at OverClocked ReMix: America- f*ck yeah! VGDJ's finally back, and what better way to celebrate than with a little national pride? Meet your (partially) new hosts, pay hommage to the original salt shakers, catch up on community news, and most importantly... Sveeeeeeelt! All this, plus a lovely BONUS INTERVIEW with Claado Shou of Chrono Symphonic. Can we get a what what?"

Great show, guys. I actually picked up Halo 2 for the first time in FOREVER, Wingless, so that was quite the nostalgia trip. :D Nice to see the show back, and people actually talking in #vgdj!!

[FiremanJoe]

w00t! Just listened to the new ep guys-great stuff! Keep it up. Only thing is; Wingless didn't mention my glowing review of his remix :(

[Hemophiliac]

welcome back VGDJ, welcome back :D

[DCT]

Good to see/hear that VGDJ is back. And Wingless, thank you for increasing this show's negro quotient.

I've only listened to about the first ten minutes of it so far, but I must say your voice is very sexay Wingless. :P

May I comission a pixietricksMix in honor of the occasion? She does deserve it, you know. :)


Of course, I was originally going to try my hands and keep myself busy with this while waiting for a new episode, but oh well...



And also, :nicework: guys.

[The wingless]

I've only listened to about the first ten minutes of it so far, but I must say your voice is very sexay Wingless. :P

I'm all high and nasaly that episode. I'll try to tweak my settings so it's more deep bass, i.e. more regular me sexay. 8)

[Zarggg]

"Can we get a what what?"

What? What? :P

And Wingless, your voice was fine. But your mic sounded a bit muted and quiet in parts.

[OmegaDonut]

ZAY OER DA ROOKEYS GIVEN BREAK TO ZEM

[Jillian Aversa]

Hehehe... Great to hear that people are digging the show. And yeah, I'm sure we can figure out something with Wingless' mic recording. Also, I'll try to keep the file size down for next week; forgot about the people with slower intarnetz. Mah B. :oops:

[DrumUltimA]

Somehow I manage to wiggle my way into all of these episodes, and believe it or not I do not do it on purpose

[The wingless]

wot did I tell you about that goddamn sig, boi?!

[TCK]

First time I've listened to VGDJ in a while. Time for a review on the format:

* Please please please get a less gay intro.

* I could hardly hear Wangless. Surprising as I'd have expected it to be the other way around. You know what to do.

* Good to hear Auroramix and Rayzamix once again.

* Random irrelevant quotes to split sections are gone since last I heard :) Not that I think uniform splitters are necessary, but it's an improvement nonetheless.

* Music reviews finally at 20:00. That medley really was pointless, although I understand the problem of condensing 10+ remixes, that 5 minutes was completely wasted on reading out names. Somewhat a moot point, as it's likely this situation won't happen again, but I can't help but think that that could have been done better.

* I can't help but feel that community news should come after remix reviews, not before.

* Weekly Review and Cyan_Ide for the win.

* The die returns, and while it has its charm, I don't think its really necessary to make the process seethrough. Just do the random crud before the show, and know what it is you're going to play before recording.

* Hahaha, you called Compyfox a jackass!

* Please please please get a less gay intro.

All in all business as usual. Better than what I remembered (apart from the obvious lack of remix reviews). Might I suggest tweaking the format around a little bit? Naturally you don't have to take my suggestions, but (obviously) I think they'd be worth considering.

[Jillian Aversa]

* Please please please get a less gay intro.
- Provide said intro, and we'll take it into consideration. I'm perfectly happy with the intro as is, but special bumpers are always welcome.

- The remix medley was a joke. Deal. :P

- You bring up some valid points with the show order; I do think we put too many things before the "reviews" this week. Usually the news is a little more scattered. But yeah, we can play around with those things.

- I, personally, like the Russian ReMix Roulette the way it is. It's a fun little game that we enjoy doing, and helps the listeners see the random selection process. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? If everybody hates the way we draw it out by rolling the die etc, speak up!

[Cyan_Ide]

* Weekly Review and Cyan_Ide for the win.


Take his comments wisely, this man obviously knows what he's talking about! :P

I think the intro is cute, though the samples do get old. There are definitely worse (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/pottercast/) podcast (http://www.coverville.com/) intros (http://www.theworstblog.com/) out there...
This last show I was secretly hoping for a huge dramatic re-entry with either DJP or Aurora actually saying, "Let there be rrrrrrremmmixxx!!!"

I think the most-recent show order is fine. Intro, general news, ReViews, Cyanide & Rama, Roulette, then randomness at the end followed by stinger. Having Cyanide before the ReViews in previous episodes helped space things out, but do whatever you see fit.
This show the intro was more drawn out b/c of the new hosts and what-not.

I agree with you and (the late great :wink: ) Rayza on this. Speaking out 6 ReMix names doesn't take all that much time and hey, it's a podcast, you can always fast forward! Besides, maybe an OCR newcomier hearing an artist or song title will spark interest and he or she will pick it up.

[Compyfox]

* Hahaha, you called Compyfox a jackass!

I only downloaded it to check this specific part, and you know what Jill? FUCK OFF! I thought you're professional on this (like "due to personal reasons that're not important to discuss here"), but you aren't.

Please do me a favour and look for somebody else to make fun of to push your ego even more. I had my reasons to stop the torrents and as it is my tracker (sorry to say this), I can do whatever the hell I want. Thanks.

It was on voluntery base anyway...


BTW:
I also listened to the interview of Claado (Chrono Symphonic) as I'm a part of the project myself, of course. It sounded so... scripted. It can't be helped, but Rayza and Larry do more fluent interviews IMO. At least it was neutral, but nothing that wasn't already asked in earlier shows already.

EDIT:
700th post- how fitting!

Great job with the show guys. No complaints personally, besides the wait. :P

You guys made good successors, so try not to die anytime soon. I want my shows.

This last show I was secretly hoping for a huge dramatic re-entry with either DJP or Aurora actually saying, "Let there be rrrrrrremmmixxx!!!"Oh, if I could make music (that didn't suck), then I would feel obliged to provide you guys with a new intro.

Certainly there are worse podcast intros, but I'd hope that VGDJ would step up from the plate now that it's evolving, so to say. I believe I even mentioned the annoying as hell intro way back when the show started.

Yeah, I hate that intro, and pretty much everything about it :(

- You bring up some valid points with the show order; I do think we put too many things before the "reviews" this week. Usually the news is a little more scattered. But yeah, we can play around with those things.

This show the intro was more drawn out b/c of the new hosts and what-not.The order for me is pretty much the same, but I'd move general news somewhere around the Report sections. A lot of that stuff just isn't important in comparison to reviews. Perhaps give a brief summary of what's going to be news, eg. "in community news this week, we'll have details of the New York meetup, etc." before starting with the reviews.

- I, personally, like the Russian ReMix Roulette the way it is. It's a fun little game that we enjoy doing, and helps the listeners see the random selection process. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? If everybody hates the way we draw it out by rolling the die etc, speak up!

Besides, maybe an OCR newcomier hearing an artist or song title will spark interest and he or she will pick it up.Like I said, it's got charm, but I don't think it's necessary. Bear in mind that time isn't limited persay, but it's good to eliminate as much wasted time as possible for a portable podcast format. You could use that extra time to, say, include a complete play of this weeks remixes, rather than just a sample (although that may have changed since last I heard).

Anyway, a lot of the criticism from me is due to the whole two month recap factor. The rest of it pretty much has been a problem for me since the beginning that hasn't been rectified. I'll check out next week's more regular show, to see what happens differently.

[Jillian Aversa]

You could use that extra time to, say, include a complete play of this weeks remixes, rather than just a sample (although that may have changed since last I heard).
The reason we only play short clips of the recent remixes is to entice our listeners to actually visit OCR and download the music themselves. VGDJ isn't a playlist show; our goal is to involve people in the community here. If we played the new mixes all the way through, nobody would feel the need to explore the site, ya know?

Unless more people express concerns about the RRR, I think that's gonna stay as is. We'll play around with the show order for a bit and see what seems to work the best. I was actually surprised to hear that a couple of you find the intro kinda lame. I've always liked it, partially for nostalgia's sake, but hey... That's something we could probably change. Any suggestions, for seriously?

I can understand your point about playing only a sample of a track gives an incentive to explore OCR, but it depends on your perspective. I'm not sure that the 30-60 second sample is enough to entice someone to download a track. It's a very vague guide to how "good" a remix is, and I feel that people could be missing out on tracks they'd otherwise have liked (and downloaded) if they heard more/all of it.

Though of course there is the whole problem of keeping time down. Either way, my main point was that the RRR transparency thing is a bit wasteful.

Hmmm, sorry you feel that way, but as I said... Unless more people express annoyance with the way we do the RRR, I think that's gonna stay the same. It's fun, and most people seem to enjoy it as is.

Either way, the ReMix Reviews will definitely keep the same format. You're right, it does also have to do with time factor. But even if not every clip is long enough to impress someone, it's certainly better than playing them all the way through, which forces people to listen to the whole thing even if they don't dig it. I know that a bunch of people already skip over the actual music portion of the RRR for that reason. Sometimes it's better to play the tease. :wink:

Maybe it would help to look at it this way: the ReMix Reviews are actually just a subset of the community news. This is the music that has been released this week; we're just keeping people up to date, ja?

I really appreciate all the thought you've put into this stuff, TCK, so I hope you don't feel like we're just shooting down your ideas. It's great to hear a fresh perspective, because it helps us evaluate the effectiveness of our current format. Change requires time, but right now is the perfect opportunity for a little turnaround. Any new sections you guys might want to see on the show?

Uh, WTF on the Russian ReMix Roulette, Chris? It's a good feature that actually spotlights the older material, quickly and easily points out a set of games covered on the site, and mentions the names of a lot of past and present members of the scene. Personally, I skip right past the full playing of the mix, as I've heard them all already, but I can see the appeal for the n00bs.

In short, don't bother listening to TCK. Listen to me. [/judge]

Haha, w00t, that wasn't even planned. Anyway, see my point there? ^_~

And yeah, I think Larry just about summed up all the great things about the RRR: spans a variety of games, remixers, and gives people a little taste of OCR history. If we didn't read out the names of each individual mix in the running, nobody would hear those things. And besides, it would be kinda bland without the game.

Why mention details of things you're not going to play? That time could be better spent going into more detail of the remix and remixer selected if so desired.

Besides, my momma told me never to trust someone who smells :P

Hahaha! Well, I never play the older stuff because I can always fill up 2+ hours of time with current stuff. My show is more of a "current music & events in the community" thing, so nah, I never feel compelled to play older stuff. Ever.

Anyway, elaborating on why RRR is a good idea: John & Jill read off the various random stuff, for example...

Perfect Dark 'Deploy' by Strike
Final Fantasy 7 'Fluss der Liebe' by Israfel
Last Ninja '8-Bit Kamikaze' by Gecko Yamori
Bust a Groove 'Bust This Groove '81' by AkumajoBelmont
Secret of Monkey Island 'Metal Monkey' by Ryan8bit
Shenmue 'Ryos Renshuu' by mutagene

Potential fans out there may go "Oh cool, they have Perfect Dark...hey that Final Fantasy 7 could be good...nice, they have Bust a Groove TOO!..." and so forth. They may hear one track directly on the podcast, but 2 or 3 others from the list might also make them seek out OCR itself to satisfy their newfound curiosity. So, yes, Russian ReMix Roulette is one of the better selling points of the site via VGDJ. In conclusion, Chris, you smell.

[The wingless]

Awww, John & Jill sounds so cute.

I'm not so much concerned with the format (since TCK has many ideas, most of them totally debunked by Larry), as I am with new ideas people would like to see in the show. Outside-the-box kind of stuff.

Like call in and make Wingless remix a track in under 3 minutes in real time during the show, then host that song on the site.

Or Pixie sings a line of something random, and we hold a contest for who can make the best _________ remix incorporating that vocal sample. Winner gets a cash paypal prize (from my poketz).

You know, wacky FUN stuff.

Not "I don't like homosexual music" shit :roll:

[Jillian Aversa]

Haha, well said, Wingless. I'm all for some wacky new features.

But hmm, how to make the intro less "gay"........ :idea: I KNOWWWW! Let's just change our name to The J.J. Show™! Haha!

So, yes, Russian ReMix Roulette is one of the better selling points of the site via VGDJ. In conclusion, Chris, you smell.I personally don't feel that that's the case (but you already knew that, right?). In cool bulletpoint format:

* The only thing that's likely to be relevant to newcomers are game names. They probably don't know who "Jeremy Soule" is, let alone "DJ Crono".

* Reading out names of remixes won't likely give an impression as to what the track sounds like. And as much as it's a shame that newcomers are likely to discriminate on genre, it's something you have to work with.

* A minor point, buy when two of the six game names inevitably include either the word "Fantasy" or "Trigger", it doesn't help.

* If the idea is to attract people by giving game titles that have remixed tracks, a lot of that is done simply by reviewing recent remixes. Otherwise, where does it end? Could you, say, have a 12 mix RRR, and have more options?

It'd be interesting to hear of people who's explored any of the games/remixes/remixers of any of the losing 5, just through listening to the selection process.

Either way, the ReMix Reviews will definitely keep the same format. You're right, it does also have to do with time factor. But even if not every clip is long enough to impress someone, it's certainly better than playing them all the way through, which forces people to listen to the whole thing even if they don't dig it. I know that a bunch of people already skip over the actual music portion of the RRR for that reason. Sometimes it's better to play the tease. :wink:I can understand your point about playing the whole track of something people may not like. Then again, unless the format has changed (or will change), you're likely to be going into a lot of detail over the mix in the first place, which can take as much time as the remix itself. It doesn't help that last I heard the talk came before the sample.

I guess it's a case of trying to strike a balance between showing a small sample not showing enough of the remix and showing off a whole remix that people won't even want.
Maybe it would help to look at it this way: the ReMix Reviews are actually just a subset of the community news. This is the music that has been released this week; we're just keeping people up to date, ja?

I really appreciate all the thought you've put into this stuff, TCK, so I hope you don't feel like we're just shooting down your ideas.

Any new sections you guys might want to see on the show?Like you said, now's a good time as any to evolve, and that's one of the main reasons why I chose now to take a critical look at VGDJ. Even if nothing I suggest affects the show in any form, it's nice to know that stuff is being considered :)

EDIT:Haha, well said, Wingless. I'm all for some wacky new features.

BTW, whatever happened to that "Tune That Sample" thread and contest like a year ago? You know, the one where the 1st round sample was a terrible "Looks like it hit the tree!" (http://home.comcast.net/~digameJH/online_storage/sample2.wav) and you had to build a song around it? I forget who started it, but I'd be all for resurrecting the contest.


I don't see any point in spending two minutes reading through names and rolling a die. Why mention details of things you're not going to play? That time could be better spent going into more detail of the remix and remixer selected if so desired.

Just to hear Rayza and Aurora arguing over the "die/dice" thing made it worth the time in past episodes. Is it really 2 minutes anyway? Is it really that painful?

I guess aside from the exposure to old ReMixes, it also an extension of the "randomness" I mentioned earlier; a chance for our hosts to bounce off each other for awhile while talking abour ReMixes the love (or don't love). One thing I don't want is a show where things run like clockwork and everything is edited and planned. It's no fun that way. I want to hear some banter and laughing spurts and "Holy FUCK!"s ( :lol: )
(Never thought I'd here those words, Pixie...)


Maybe a few seconds of pimping various RRR ReMixes on the fly & as you see fit would make it worth the while. Like "Yeah, I miss DJ Crono. His stuff was always hardcore," or "I'm voting for the Final Fantasy. This mix really stands out from the rest." Something like that.

[CE]

Wut?

What's all this about changing VGDJ? You wanna take out the RRR?! HELL NO! That thing's fun! Besides, I'm not gonna listen to all of OCR's ReMixes, so RRR really helps a lot. Also, it would take the word "die" out of VGDJ :(

And I don't see what the problem with the intro is... at 30+ episodes, it has become iconic! "Hold on to your pants..." :lol:

About playing the entire remixes, who someone mentioned, I talked about that some pages back. When I started listening to VGDJ I made some comments and suggestions on how I thought it could be improved, but Rayza explained his reasons and, God knows why, they made sense! It's basically the same reasons Pixie is using now such as "incentivating people to check OCR out" and "the show would get too big".

Now to more serious matters...

Nice re-entry VGDJ! I really liked the show (and it's usual doseage of zany-ness) and I'm glad it's back on it's feet. The Wingless did a pretty good job as host, and c'mon, you guys all know having an (ex?)judge on the show means class. Hell yeah!

The intro, the hosts, the Remix Reviews, the reports, RRR, the call-ins and the stinger they've all returned!

Welcome back. We've missed you. :)

Put it this way, if you got rid of everything after "this is VGDJ", I'd be much happier.

My point is that it DOESN'T give an incentive to check out OCR, because 30-60 seconds is not enough to give an incentive. 90-120 seconds would be so much better.

Well, I'll give you the first two, but I gotta question the last. 30-60 can be enough! It really only depends on what section of the ReMix is played. If it's the ending, it's not enough. If it's the intro, it's not enough. If it's the middle section when the music is in full swing, it's more then enough. It all really depends on what section of the music the hosts choose to play.

That's not a bad idea. I don't think anyone is even really motivated to make a whole new intro though - I remember Aurora and Rayza asking listeners to do a new intro and the response was pretty underwhelming. I think there was like one remix of the intro submitted.

I dunno - it gives me a pretty good idea. They'd give their little review and play a little snippet, and I could decide whether I'd want to download it or not. I see the podcast as a complement to the site - kind of a portable news section. I don't think the samples need to be longer, but maybe Pixie and Wingless can play around with a new format and see what the response is. Frankly, I don't think it would really be any different, man.

As for the Remix Roulette, the selection process as I see it gives it a bit more of a human element. You could do it beforehand, but I don't mind listening to it. It's pretty entertaining, I think.

[Cyan_Ide]

I'm going to have to follow along with and compound Larry's thoughts on this, TCK. Larry's points are all very valid, and I would like to add another factor to the equation. Besides the fact that the hosts just plain read out the names of the games and artists, there's also the hosts' input to consider. Oftentimes, such as was the case in the last episode, the hosts will show excitement for a particular track in the queue while they're reading it. I know I found myself to be checking out those remixes which I hadn't heard very much that Rayza or Aurora or Pixie had expressed explicit interest in. So even if those tracks don't get rolled, they still get some serious positive publicity from the hosts, helping to draw listeners to those tracks.

Don't worry, TCK, I'm not a fan of the intro, either, but no one has yet rose to the challenge of concocting a new one, despite contests and pleas and such. Perhaps Pixe and Wingless can give it another shot in the future. However, for the time being, there's always the fast forward button. ;)

My main complaint is that the volume's not very normalized. You'd listen to a voice that was nice and normal, and then a sample would blast your ears off. :( The mixing is a little bit off, as well (some of the vocal clips are cut off a bit by sound effects).

I'm sure those technical aspects are easy to fix. Go Cyan Ide - good consistent work from that guy every week! I'm sure that there's a bit of transition going on still. The introduction before the ReMix reviews felt long, but that's really a transition thing, and not anything specific to what The Wingless and pixietricks are doing. I don't think I'm able to resist The Wingless's manly charm.

It's good to hear the show again. I usually use it as a spotlight for the latest mixes on OCR; also, I like the RRR; I like hearing the hosts' opinions on the songs that are read out, in the form of "Which song do you want rolled?".

And this is such a strange request... but I think pixietricks should swear less on air. :P :P She's taking after Rayza, now!

[reelmojo]

pixietricks mentioned the show to Voltaire Adams who in turn brought it up when he was over at my house last night which all results in me finally listening to the show for the first time last night. Good stuff! I'd be lying if I didn't say my favorite part of the show was the Compo Report. If you hadn't talked about me though my favorite part would have been "Holy fuck! It is three!" :lol:

A truck that transports panzers, of course. It's just like saying, "Look, there goes the furniture truck" or "Watch out for that ice-cream truck!".

But... if there's a panzer truck, I guess that means the vehicle that brings cars into a new car lot is a "car truck"...

Wheeee, glad y'all liked the show! Nobody has posted their Yes/No vote on the new intro issue so far, though. What do you guys think? Should we change it? If so, suggestions? Entries?

[Cyan_Ide]

I vote for a new intro. We've been clamoring for it since the Rayza and Aurora days.

Why would you take Doug as a hostage? We should be paying YOU for taking him off our hands. ;)

[SosusOCR]

I haven't a problem with the intro, its fine the way it is... It does the job well enough.

[Typhon MacMoryn]

edit: just realize, that could be eh..misconstrued. that's "host-age" [HOST-age, hard O], unless Jilly's much more diabolical than I've up to this point understood.

The intro is well enough, but if the ideas of a new intro are a big possibility, you had said something about a contest for a new intro. You and Wingless could throw a contest once a month, and use the winning intro each month. This could even be done once every three months or so; or once a year. This would also give an extra "prize" as being the monthly intro artist, and having the intro on the episodes. So the incentive to get a few more entries might be available through this method.

Personally, I don't mind the intro. Sometimes it's fun to see what random, whack-out shit people can come up with.

Vote: YES. The "And then djpretzel said <insert random shit here>" template should stay. Although, I won't cry too hard if it's changed.

Yeah, something like that would be fun. The only thing is, last time Rayza and Aurora tried to have an intro contest, there was very little interest. Hardly anyone actually stepped up to the challenge of submitting. So we'd have to get a sense of how many people would actually wish to contribute. ^_^

[Voltaire Adams]

Well I like the intro, but I think the idea of having a contest for the intro is a really great idea, so I would have to give my vote to that.

I know that I would deffinatly be intrested in entering that contest too, so you could count on my contribution, Pixie. In fact, I would be willing to help in any way that I can, lol.

Beyond that, I'm really liking the show. Thanks for introducing it to me, and keep up the great work, Pixie! :D

[The wingless]

^ Hehe, double post. (Oh wait, not anymore.)

In other news, I'm grumpy because I recently ordered a USB mic by Logitech in order to record the shows faster (because currently I record on my mini disc on have to import the files, which takes a while). And anyway, it came today, but it's TEH SUCK! I mean, seriously. Noise canceling my arse! And it's really quiet, too, even when at maximum input. :(

My 20th birfday is this Saturday, and I have a performance Friday night, so Wingless and I might have to record the next show earlier than usual in order to allow time for editing. He is the busy as well. That being said, me hopes djp will post another mix or two soon!

They look pretty good sized. But that's just my opinion.


Also, I can;t wait until the next time Compyfox decides to turn up. Compyfox is the new prince... azuzu was it?

Hehe, well... I'm not sure that's gonna happen, as funny as it was the first time. It was a spontaneous thing, and our goal with the show isn't to bash the guy. If he continues to flame this thread, maybe more jokes will spring up, but... So long as he minds his business, we're not gonna pursue it.

[The Joker]

:( too bad. Well, maybe we can get a generic german accented guy, named klauss Brewsken.

[José the Bronx Rican]

If I wasn't in the middle of writing lyrics, and mastering music on old vinyl, and researching release dates on my ENTIRE music checklist, and finding time to get my taxes done, I'd already have some kind of intro to share. Well, we'll see this week...

This being the, as it were, internets, I'm surprised it took over 110 pages to discuss anyone's boobies. I appreciate the extremely cute pic of pix, all the same. And while I'm here, happy early to Jill! *salute* I promise to call the show sometime.

As for that mic, I'm no expert, and this is only my experience, but it's difficult to get any decent input from a mic without some kind of hardware, specifically a mic amp with a limiter. And even then, it's off to the noise reduction apps.

[Jillian Aversa]

Hip hip, Joséee! Glad you're around, even if you're busy. ^_^

And yes, perhaps a *generic* German dude named Klauss can make an appearance here and there... ^_~

[Rexy]

Not to rub any butter in anyone's faces, but if this grudge relates to what happened in the mastering phases of Chrono Symphonic, can you at least let that slide and come to a compromise? And I don't think he was attacking the thread; he thinks that you attacked him during the recording of the last show (which was my first forray into VGDJ and I gotta say it was a slick job between you and Wing :)).

I think a certain Black Eyed Peas song would be appropriate right now. Where is the love??
