Changed a couple words, this might be more accurate

Also, eating excrement is bad for my diet, probably best to follow the doctors orders.
I'm sure you've tested this dietary plan yourself. Amiritelol.
Basically, what I'm saying, is that you're a tool.

This is just mindless drivel and not worthy of a response. I'm sorry that I made you made enough to resort to name calling. I sincerely hope you don't stay mad for very long.

Also you've been making snide remarks this whole time. Don't act like you're righteous.
I KNOW I'm not righteous, cause I'm giving into my anger, which is something I don't do often.

I did, in fact, say it just like that to Rexy herself. It was a one on one conversation that you, obviously, didn't know about nor should you know about it or will ever know about it. It came off as brash but I'd hope she knew that I was referring to what I said in IRC the other night and it seems she did.

It's a true shame that things like this happen, which detract from the entire cohesive feel of the competition.
I'm sorry if I've fueled any sort of fire, but I couldn't help myself.
I love you guys. Especially SuperiorX. Without you, there wouldn't BE a competition. So thank you so much.

I'm glad you had fun. Coincidentally, I really liked your remix and thought it was going to beat Brandon in the first round. Kudos to you, chum.

Greetings,

First and foremost, I would like to say that I, in no way, think that my actions were justified and were merely stated out of personal anger towards Mr McGee. With that said, please don't include me in a double standard scenario. I do not appreciate being called out for what I said when it was a direct result to someone else's vulgar tirade. We were both in the wrong and while childish retaliation was a mistake on my part, by singling me out you effectively say that what Mr. McGee did was alright but my response towards him was reprehensible.

As a moderator for OCR, I would think that you take your job seriously and as a person of some authority, would come into every situation that requires your attention with an unbiased outlook. I would also hope that you read every post and then make your judgment based on all of the facts. I can't assume that you didn't read the post that lead up to my use of vulgarities but, if you didn't, I will include them here for your benefit. I was flat out told, and I quote, to 'just shut the fuck up'. Please excuse my use of another vulgar word but I have no choice as it was the words used by Mr. McGee himself.

I feel that I have expressed my concern in the matter and I thank you for you attention and your diligent work here on the OCR forums.

Sincerely,

Lucavi00

With all of this said and done, I will no longer humor any more of this nonsense. If you wish to continue this line of discussion further then I implore you to send me a private message.

Thank you.

Do people not read any more? Apparently you didn't read the post that lead to that response. I'll let you read it and then maybe you can readjust your post accordingly. Please send me a PM if you need more help on the matter.

Thank you.

Nah, I did. My statement stands as is.

EDIT: Oh wait, he also called you a tool and a dick. My apologies, but that doesn't exactly add up to what you said.

It seems as if I made you mad. Maybe we can discuss this further in a PM like civilized adults? I would love the chance to right any wrongs I have clearly put you through. And you are right, it does not add up. I feel that what he said was much worse than what I said but that is just my opinion versus yours but that still does not justify either responses. Again, PM me and we can discuss this further.

Thank you.

OK that's enough. Seriously take this offline please. Last time I checked, the final round of the SZRC was Amphibious vs. Gario. Anybody else have some comments on their final songs?

I plan on putting together a final ZIP file of all the mixes this weekend. I know I mentioned it earlier, but if anyone has any significantly revised versions of their compo songs (new parts, revised arrangements etc., not just volume/level tweaks) or songs inspired by the compo (i.e., Rexy's song), let me know by the weekend so I can include them in the final ZIP. Thanks!

I've got some quick reviews on the final round:

Amphibious: This mix has a really crisp & clear polished sound to it! Probably one of the most "complete" electronica mixes I've heard from you. Very good arrangement and sound design choices! I really enjoy the bass that comes in around 0:43. It's got an awesome low frequency range, but has a really nice paramento glide inbetween notes (great job whatever you did there). The other synths and rhythm guitar fit in perfectly with the overall soundscape, as does the pad. The percussion, while not incredibly diverse, is interesting and keeps the beat driving forward. I felt like something different melody-wise was going to be introduced in the second half to keep things fresh, but overall no complaints. This was a very enjoyable, high energy piece! Great work!

Gario: Nice intro and layering of the different instruments. Prophecy's spoken word intro and the DAA DAAA DAAAAAAAAA was pretty funny and definitely set the tone for what I could expect from the rest The instrument at 0:35 felt incredibly abrasive the first time I heard it, but it's since grown on me. KingTiger's vocals feel like they could've been a little clearer, but overall I really dig the fun lyrics and I think the sound does fit the rest of the soundscape well enough. And damn that chorus is catchy as hell. I've caught myself singing "8-bit, 16-bit, or even higher..." quite a few times this week I love all the little references to some of the other songs you remixed and the idea of bringing back a lot of your past opponents is a really cool idea. And then there is a little rap about pancakes. Priceless. Unless you've been closely following this thread, this song would make no sense hahaha. While, sure this song isn't as polished as your others, it is super fun and that more than makes up for it IMO. It has a sorta endgame/credits song feel to me, so it definitely feels like a fitting "end" to your run and the compo in general.

I honestly don't know which song I'm going to vote for yet. There are aspects of each that are clearly superior to the other, but I'm not sure which one I like more overall. Only time will tell! Great job both of you and great job to everyone that's participated in the compo. It has been a blast, and yes, we're all winners since we have 58 new Sonic remixes

Sorry SupX, I apologize for any inconvenience and the issue has been hopefully taken care of.

As for remix reviews:

Amphibious: I just love the overall feel of the mix and SupX pretty much hit every nail on the head. This song is just good ol' electronica fun.

Gario: The backing music is fantastic but I feel that the beat seemed a bit too fast for the rapping sections. It sounded like King Tiger was slurring the words along and it was really hard for me to get a grasp on what he was saying on my initial listen. Other than that, it was pretty solid.

Edit: Gario, I'd like to see you revisit your mix and fix it up and get it subbed to the judges. Same for Amph. I totally think they would pass.
