[What happened to Unmod?]

One of this sites main goals was to expose artists music to new listeners and audiences. And unmod helped that. Here's how:

I had Firefox tabs open to 3 unmod threads, for a total of 6 months. Unmod brought traffic. And yea, some didn't download, ALOT did. So did many lurkers like myself. I was entertained, and people return for that frequently. If you expect this site to be uber-serious and still have even remotely the exposure it has now, you're quite mistaken. If this site continues to wave the banhammer at anyone who speaks up, and to disregard humor as worthwhile, then it will be left full of boring posts like Gamefaqs, and we'll all know just how badly Goku can beat anyone.

Just to note as well: the humor here was far-reaching. The Chargin' Mah Lazer meme was started in large part here, and I honestly think it would have not happened without UnMod, among others. DJP, mods, you made the collective internet laugh.

It's sad to say that yesterday was the first time in months that OCRemix left my tabs. There simply weren't any threads of worth to look at. I don't eargerly refresh each day to see which unknown remix has been posted. I refresh for my friends, and my jokes. And they make me want to see the music that comes out of this site.

Also, who said it was a beautiful place? The point of unmod wasn't to be a "beautiful" place, I always saw of it more as a place for shinanigans (How do you spell that...), and that really made this place fun.

EDIT: Oops, didn't realize this new setup doesn't quote the previous quote (Bye bye quote nexus?)

[What happened to Unmod?]

If OffTop is just UnMod without the illegal stuff, I'm fine with it.

That's, like, a barren wasteland, isn't it?

[Nintendo Wii]

Hahaha!! I'm using the intarwii!

[OCR01390 - Super Metroid "Energy Tank"]

Good stuff! I agree with these guys that the pace and adrenaline of the song really changes around 2:15-2:20

[OCR01124 - Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker "Pirates of Dragon Roost Isle"]

Very nice. I love the tone throughout the entire song. The orchestra performance was a nice selection for this song.

[OCR01108 - Super Mario RPG, SMB, MP3, SMW, MP2 & YS "Mario's Tropical Paradise"]

I LOVE IT! It sounds like a theme that should be in a Mario Party game. It also sounds something like what Isle Delfino should sound like!

Super-retro summer song!

I was thinking the same thing. Has the Mario Party feel to it.

Excellent piece.

[All Time Hardest Boss]

Well, he's easier now, but I'm gonna say Mike Tyson in MTPO.

Shit it took me like 12 times to beat him. The first 11 times weren't even close too.

[OCR00214 - Lunar: The Silver Star "Singing Pretzel"]

I'm not into this type very much, what with the electrical instruments, but it was still very nice.

[OCR01073 - Super Mario RPG "Waltz of Pain"]

That was very nice. The only thing I would change is maybe mix it up a little bit with something other than piano. I mean, keep the classical tone in there but throw some other things in there like maybe a solo violinist. Then again, that's just me. I still give it a 9/10 though. It's a very beautiful song.

[OCR00573 - Super Metroid "Mega Dance Mix 2002"]

Nice work. 8/10

[OCR01171 - Metroid "Kraid's Hideout"]

What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

I can't think. Thats how awesome this is. I've been playing in an orchestra for 4 years now and we have a great solo violinist so I'm used to hearing solo pieces. This was really neat though. Also very creepy, which is just the way I like Metroid.

[OCR00753 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Pachelbel's Ganon"]

Holy Crap this song rocks. I didn't expect it to be this awesome.
