    VGDJ: The Official OCR Podcast - show pushed back to 10/24

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I've noticed that Brush adds some perspective to the show; at one point he gushes about a particular remix, and the Aversas just chuckle faintly in response. :-P

    Haha, actually we reacted a lot more to what he was saying there, but I had to cut out a lot of stuff this past show because it was getting reallllly long. ^_~

    In fact, that may explain what someone else had perceived as awkwardness between us, because it's not always possible to edit things out in a way that sounds completely natural. We didn't feel awkward at all recording it!

    Happy Birthday, DrumUltimA!

    Philly Meetup/BBQ - pics posted!

    When: Saturday, September 19th - Noon

    Where: Our apartment: 1030 E Lancaster Ave, Bryn Mawr, PA. It's in a big apartment building (10 stories) called Radnor House, and it will be on your left up a hill/driveway if you're going WEST on Lancaster. If you're taking public transportation, first get to 30th St Station, Philadelphia (buses, Amtrak and NJ Transit all go there.) Then, take the Septa R5 Westbound toward Paoli/Thorndale. A round-trip ticket should be about $6.50. Make sure you are taking a LOCAL train, not express! You will want to get off at Rosemont. The folks who arrived at our apartment building by car will all walk with us to Rosemont station to pick up everyone else (it's only a few blocks away.)

    What: It's that time again! Andy and I moved into a new apartment shortly before getting married, and now we want to break it in... with an OCR meetup. :<

    At our new place, we have an Xbox 360 (with HD ReMix, SFIV, BlazBlue, etc.), Wii, board & card games, phat beats, and of course, a huge outdoor patio with a bunch of grills. So, plenty to do just hanging out here! There's also a bowling alley not too far from us, the same place we went as a group during last year's Philly meetup. We thought that was pretty fun, so we can always do it again.

    Who's Coming:

    zircon

    pixietricks

    Brushfire & wife

    Xenon Odyssey

    Dyne

    José the Bronx Rican

    Sporknight

    Epicenter

    Katsurugi

    D-Lux & gf

    Moguta & gf

    Harmony & bro

    Yay! Episode downloaded!

    P.S. : I was gonna grab the old episodes, then checked the torrents only to discover they aren't there...? Is it gonna be fixed?

    Yeah, I'm not sure how to fix the torrents. Anyone have some expertise in that area?

    P.P.S. : Did I just hear Arnold Schwarzenegger?

    Ahhhnold. (That was actually Daniel, everyone!)

    --

    Very glad you guys are liking the show! We're happy with the new format as well; Brush had some awesome ideas with the JudgeQuote and Game Flames sections. I think it definitely helps that we've condensed the old reports into Community Happenings also - much love to Rama, DrumUltimA, and Cyan_Ide, though!

    I'm particularly excited about the OCRtist Spotlight. We did have the occasional long interview before, but I think having shorter ones every week is cool. Gotta show off all the talent in this community, one remixer at a time!

    EDIT: Found it! Feel free to add this to your sigs etc. if you'd like. :D

    Break out the champagne (or sparkling grape juice): VGDJ is finally back... for the first time since 2007! Hoorayyyy!

    :<What is VGDJ?

    VGDJ is the official podcast of OverClocked ReMix, brought to you by hosts zircon, pixietricks, and Brushfire.

    Here's what you can expect to hear:

    • ReMix Reviews: commentary and song clips from the latest remixes posted to the site
    • Community Happenings: news following any current events in the community (i.e. meetups, site projects, and other noteworthy tidbits!)
    • OCRtist Spotlight: interviews and featured song clips from a different remixer each episode
    • JudgeQuote!: a random quotation from one of the judges' decisions, read by a person other than the original author ^_~
    • Russian ReMix Roulette: six random mixes spun every half hour on the front page of OCR. We roll a die to randomly select one of them, which is then played all the way through!
    • Voicemails: from our listeners!

    And, sometimes...

    • The Flow Basket: music tutorials from zircon to help the aspiring remixer!
    • Game Flames With Brushfire: brutally honest thoughts on various video games
    • Special Features: episodes recorded from live events such as concerts or meetups, composer interviews, etc.

    A little history: the podcast was founded in 2005 by community members Rayza and Aurora -- later evolving to hosts Rayza and pixietricks, followed by pixietricks and The wingless (briefly), and finally with zircon joining pixietricks as cohost. The shows got progressively longer over the years, so our goal now is to keep them between 30-40 minutes... with the exception of "special feature" episodes (which can sometimes exceed an hour in length).

    *** New episodes are typically released every other Saturday night at ~10:00pm ET, on VGDJ.net! ***

    :<What will I need in order to listen?

    1. A web browser

    2. A media player (desktop, portable, or both) such as Winamp, RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media, or an iPod

    3. (Optional) An XML/RSS feed manager that can automatically download new shows and import them to your media player. Or, if you have it, you can subscribe through iTunes!

    Our posts on VGDJ.net feature button links to the episode mp3s and shownotes (complete with timestamps and working links to all mentioned URL's) for each week!

    :<How can I get involved?

    Your participation is both welcomed and encouraged! Please let us know how we're doing, and if you have any special ideas for the show. You can...

    • Post here in the thread and/or in the comments field at VGDJ.net
    • Email us at vgdjpodcast@gmail.com
    • Call and leave a voicemail at VGDJ-64-KBIT (i.e. 843-564-5248 )! Or, if you're cheap, you can download Skype and call our username - vgdjpodcast - with no cost to you! If you're lucky, we'll even play your message on the show. ^-^
    • Record a bumper for us to use! ...something to the effect of, "Hi, this is (your name) and you're listening to VGDJ!" - and send it to vgdjpodcast@gmail.com as an mp3 or wav file.
    • Chat it up in IRC at enterthegame.com #vgdj... (and we're usually in #ocremix, too)

    That's about it. Thank you to Brushfire, whose efforts have made recording the show possible again - we missed it greatly! Let the fun resume. :D
