The People's Remix Competition 95
PRCv4-17

Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! (www.doulifee.com/prc/PrcSong/PRCcommercial.wmv) PRC94 saw a fresh change to the voting system, with ThaSauce serving as the main focus of the transactions. But nevertheless, the competition also saw a hand outstretched from analoq, who not only programmed the new server but also took the win with a spoken word entry amidst the Flying Hero related submissions.

Luckily his choice of source for PRC95 is a little less obscure, but is still really a hidden game amidst the first person shooter genre. Arm yourself, fokes...

Rise of the Triad! the original Doom is still my favorite FPS but i'll be damned if this game wasn't ridiculously fun to play over the network.. jump pads, crazy missile weapons and all. this tune 'Stairs' came up in a few levels and i always liked it. it's kinda long but there's many repeating themes, i'm sure you guys can pick something useful out of it. cheers.

MIDI (http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC95_STAIRS.mid)

I wonder what it sounded like through a computer in the mid 1990s... enough pondering though; let's move on.

GOOD LUCK!

Heh, used to love this game back in the day. Drunken missles...

Having trouble grabbing the MIDI though.

EDIT: I think you want THIS (http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC95_STAIRS.mid) link instead.

[V___]

;( I mixed this a long time back and did a crap job, but thats all I can hear in my head. Stupid request forums....

Plus this is too complex for a quick joke mix.

[Rexy]

EDIT: I think you want THIS (http://compo.thasauce.net/files/materials/PRC95_STAIRS.mid) link instead.

Ah, thanks. I can't believe I overlooked the minor detail in the link.
Note to self: never take a nap before you start a PRC thread. You never know how messed up things can get. o_O

[FiremanJoe]

I had some spare time today (ie should have been doing homework) so I decided to work on my entry. It's coming along quite well, if I do say so.
This time I'll be doing the rapping myself. =P

[Amayirot Akago]

Great to finally see this great game subjected to a remix session, tho I would've preferred if you'd done the awesome boss theme instead.

Nonetheless, can't wait to see what's gonna come outta this one!

[Theory of N]

Well, I'm not coming up with anything so I'm probably not going to enter, but I'll be sure to vote when it comes time.

[Escariot]

Amazing source... I'm going to try to do some real recording for this... But this happens to be right around the time of my new job training...

[Chavous]

I do not have the time to create my idea for this one...I wanted to do a full ska representation, but due to time and limited resources it doesn't look too good.

[Alex Smith]

Baby, I'm back!

[Nutritious]

Alright, I'm in :)

[FiremanJoe]

Here's the lyrics for my track =)

Fireman Joe - Funky Triad Rap
Rhyming to my beats, yeah I made them myself
They're not from a box full of loops on the shelf
Rhyming funky fresh like DJ Kong
Rhymes like this, you know they won't last long

I don't have fashion nor do I have style
To write these flows it took a while
Nerdcore rap yeah, nerdcore hop
Double-dip ma chip in the salsa-red slop

Party round the house wearing nothing but my shorts
I don't like teams and I don't play sports
Gaming is my life and for school I don't care
If I ever get a date I don't know what I'd wear
World of Warcraft shirt? Will I comb my hair?
Will I bring my PC, headphones and chair?
I'd kick her arse and shame her good
She'd never kiss me even if I've got wood
Small as a twig, but my e-penis owns
It's real huge like Attack of the Clones

My hero is Big T, or maybe Jack O'neill
Or Colonel Carter's breasts, Oh how I'd love to feel
Like one of the team, part of SG-1
I'd like a uniform and a standard gun
I'd kill the Goa'uld and save the world
I'd rescue Danny boy from the evil girl

I'd love to visit Hogwarts, although I never read
I want fictitious candy from the store in Hogsmead
I fucking hate Ron, he should be in a tomb
But when it comes to Hermione, the magic word is womb
Ginny's hand in marriage of her father I'd request
Prepubescent girls are the ones I like best

Meals from Mickey D's and deals from the pizza place
Less grease in a bite than on my face
And that's quite a lot, oh don't you know
Some hair on my chin, I'm waiting for a beard to grow
White as snow like my buddy Gandalf
Or maybe brown like that ET Alf

I'll fuck you on the forums, flame you well
God knows I'm going to a goatse-ridden hell
A place full of shock and a place full of porn
I was the first in line to buy McDonalds processed corn
I eat fast food and take-away
Grease, fat, oil, salt, sugar all day
My diet's shit and I'm unfit
But I'd kick your arse in Top Spin Tennis
I wake up early to watch Dennis the Menace
Digimon, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, you know that tune
Seaking, Jolteon, Dragonite, Ghastly
Why do I know all this? Why do you ask me?

I'm a geek and I'm unliked
Nelson took my lunch and stole my bike
With schaudenfrade he laughed at me
Now I'm as lonely as can be

[Rexy]

Ah, FiremanJoe. I see you voted already. :p I should have started this sooner but I was moving back today. Still, I'm glad the voting stage moved on by itself.

Talking of which...

[FiremanJoe]

Haha, yes I've been waiting to vote for ages.. I'm quite excited! =D

[Chickenwarlord]

I (\/) this selection. Too bad I was arranging music for a cappella all week and couldn't enter.
...\/oted

[Deductive Dave]

Hmm.. What are the best encoding settings for use with the embedded player? Mine plays at a lower pitch/frequency in the player but when downloaded still plays fine.

[analoq]

argh. perhaps i need to put a big message in red saying USE 44.1khz ONLY

don't use 48khz. ever.


there's already been votes placed, it would be difficult to swap out your entry at this time, so, just remember this advice for next time.

That's fine - I don't mind. Thanks.

[FiremanJoe]

Congrats to Nutritious =) well done!

...this comp needs less raphate. =(

[Rexy]

Joe, please wait for the host. :p Honestly, internet conditions were rough this morning and have persisted up until now. But anyway... we might as well make the clarification.

Total number of mixes - 4
Total number of votes - 9
Highest Possible Score - 27

FiremanJoe obtains his own last place wooden spoon with 8 points.

Deductive Dave starts his time for the PRC with a third place finish and 15 points to his name.

Alex Smith scraped his way into second place with 20 points.

And the winner of PRC95 is Nutritious with 23 points!

Congratulations on your first PRC win! You know the drill now - you should contact me sometime soon with your choice of source for PRC96. I know you'll come up with something fun.

And so, there concludes another PRC. There's a quick reminder though - this Friday's PRC would begin a few hours early for classified reasons (nothing to bring illwill or anything, I assure you). Regardless, I hope to see you there for PRC96.

[Chickenwarlord]

Hah. Going through the vote log I have realized that I have voted Nutritious first place in every competition since we switch to CTS voting. I suppose I should rectify this eh?

[Alex Smith]

Congratulations Nutritious.

Good job everyone. Hopefully I'll throw something together next time too.

Until then I bid thee farewell.

[Nutritious]

Thanks, Alex. Honestly, I thought you were going to take this one. You had a pretty rockin' mix there.

[Alex Smith]

Nah, too experimental for the masses (as always). xD

I think next time I'll stick with one style. Although we'll see... I mean - I can get really carried away in the moment...
