  1. Kanjika, I owe you an apology - after listening to The Secluded Stronghold in a quiet environment, I can conclude it's every bit as awesome as Breathtaking View. Which means, everything you submitted for this project was made of awesome, and you join a select group of mixers in my opinion which includes the likes of Jarad Hudson, goat and SnappleMan. I am sincerely looking forward to any mixes you submit in the future.
  2. I'll just reiterate what I said on the guestbook. Snappleman, every track you touched turned to awesome. On fire. Same went with BrainCells, and I was quite glad to see the two of you do another collab. Top stuff gentlemen. Hadyn, your tracks still have very much a Linkin Park vibe to them. This is to your credit - Linkin Park make great music (shame about the lyrics) so good stuff all round. Mr Baranowsky - wtf lyrics? Good track but wtf lyrics? You're lucky you can sing well. housethegrate, you did great justice to Hydrocity's theme with your track. Thank you. Kanjika, your first track wasn't anything spectacular, but your WIPs were pretty good and your take on Sky Sanctuary was incredible. Great to hear. Chthonic, nice and energetic track you've got there. jmr, I admit, I was expecting the worst when I saw what your source tune was, as Endless Mine was one of my favourites and I was sure it wouldn't be done justice. I was wrong. You did a superb job with Endless Mine, and for that I thank you. To the remixers not explicitly named: Your tracks were decent, but just didn't jump out at me. Keep in mind I was listening to these at around 7:30am local time, and it was fairly noisy, so therefore this shouldn't be taken as an absolute indication that your tracks aren't as good as the mixers' named. WIP artists, goddammit, why do you leave us hanging? Why? Overall, good work ladies and gentlemen.
  3. I remember this back from DoD (shit, how far back now?) and it was awesome then, and is still awesome enough to get 5-star rating in iTunes from me. Tis good to see DoD stuff being acknowledged here.
  4. Lunar IS awesome. Lunar Dragon Song is fucking awful, though. Biggest disappointment of all time. I'm enjoying it though. Plus, I got it cheap. I get all my games cheap. Because I'm a tightfisted bastard, who only buys when it's on special and pre-owned.
  5. I'm truly amazed that, with the number of seemingly-foolish things Sony's doing this time around, people are still going to buy their product.
  6. I read a lot of reviews that marked LostMagic as poor. I looks like the controls were a good concept but they completely screwed it up. Man, it looked interesting too. DS needs more RPGs
  7. Offtopic once again. I think Lunar's pretty awesome, but I'm blown away by Hunters. No really, I'm exceptionally impressed by it. No, I don't care if it's old news.
  8. I'll have a test about that next week. ;_; Complex numbers are simple. Or so I tell everyone who asks me. Also, yeah, NEVER become an electrician. Or do anything involving electrics.
  9. So I finally got a DS. I realise this is a different topic, but before I start fiddling, I wish to know - does anyone have experience with DSs interfacing with wireless networks that are set up as peer-to-peer, or does it require an access point?
  10. So, like, my win98 box is working on a 20000 frame packet. Does that make me l337?
  11. More DoD goodness! I still love this track, though I can barely identify a quarter of the tracks, despite how bloody familiar they sound. Top notch job. In comparison to the last medley posted, the transitions are a bit more fluid. Definitely a keeper.
  12. I seem to remember this from a DoD a while back. Enjoyed it then, enjoyed it now. It really is guitar-driven, so if guitar isn't your thing, doubtful this will appeal. The transitions between tracks is a tad abrupt, but not enough to detract significantly from the remix. All in all, a solid track, and one I'm glad got the nod for OCR. EDIT: Can't seem to find where I got the first copy I had, but it's at 192-bit encoding.
  13. Jesus H. Christ I love this track. I mean that. I listened to it no less than five times in a row on the way home. I just don't do that. The section 0:37 to 0:41 really really reminds me of a cool little Master System game called Dragon Crystal for some reason. I'd swear the music in that followed a similar sound. Add this to goat's submission, and OCR is fucking rocking of late! More guitar mixes! Especially from you Sixto - I know you said in channel that this is something you feel you could've worked on a bit more. Honestly, if this is indicative of what you consider your less-than-shining pieces, man ... words fail me. Awesome track.
  14. I love the cheesy opening! And the fact that the same instrument carries through. Is it an organ? No idea. Actually, it gives the entire track a playful feel, which is unusual for most Unchosen Paths material. Not that that's a bad thing. Love the solo around 1:45. Quiet section is ... actually a bit disturbing. Makes you expect some giant explosion of sound. Which comes in around 3:10. Also, ends on a cool frantic pace. It's no Creeping Dusk or Scourge of 1691, but this is still an awesome track, and worthy not just of OCR, but also of Unchosen Paths.
  15. Yeah, I remember this from VGMix as well, and it's PERFECT for chilling. Got a real ... organic vibe. Quite relaxing really. 5 stars.
  16. Best part is, if it wasn't for all the whoohar about the N-bomb in this track, I probably wouldn't have ever listened to it (never played Asterix as a child ) That said, sweet track. Obelix's section is by far my favourite, but the whole track's a winner.
  17. Extra large, because I need the length and shoulder clearance.
  18. Something strange - I haven't been able to acquire any new packets to work on. Most odd.
  19. I seem to have run into a problem - I've got three machines running F@h, but this machine can't seem to connect to receive a new workpacket. I find this odd.
  20. Yep, we sounded as shitty as I expected we would. Also, don't blame you for editing out the JP-rapping. Also, just so you can match voices to faces: Snoop was responsible for "WTF!" and "YOUR MUM!" during the singing, as well as that bit about pixie's hooters; Dr Wily was responsible for "Well EXCuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!"; Spaceman said very little; JamPaladin and I carried the melodic part of the tune for the most part; and finally, I was responsible for muttering "kill it" at the end, along with "MOBGOBLINS" as inspired by the master himself, Shael Riley.
  21. I think all you need is your original user name. However, any work that you did for another team (or no team) can't be added to a new team that you join (ours, I'm assuming ). So to get back all your original stats, you have to join the same team. (I think that's how it works.. might be worth a cruise through the FAQ's) If it was uninstalled form your computer, or you're installing it on a new computer, it won't update those offline stats. When you open up the program display it shows your name, team number, work units completed, etc. That work units completed is only the work units that that computer has done. For example, when I open it up on my current computer, it says I have done 60 WU's, but my online stats are 180. The remaining WU's were done by a different computer (or three ) Hah! So I could've put the same name on my old box!
  22. Zircon's got a distinctive style, and when I say that, for once I don't mean it in a negative way. Thus far, this one, Vurez's piece, Sixto's piece and the collab between Akumajo and BrainCells stand out the most (wondered why the last two weren't posted, but oh well). Nowhere near as quirky as Salzman's take on the same theme, this has a harder edge to it, and to my ear, more energy. Then again, these are all supposed to be tracks that could seemlessly be used in any of the games and still make good fight music. In that sense, this track surpasses by far that expectation. I do notice though that the high-end frequencies seem to be a bit neglected for the most part. Get's an easy 6 (>75%) from me.
  23. The quiz was accurate in that I could determine which character I wanted to get, I guess. However, Link is one of my staples.
