Sorry that I missed this thread. I can't speak to the formatting of the VARIAtions tracks, since that wasn't formally released through OCR (we should re-release it), but I just downloaded "Visions of Kin" and had no problems with it on Winamp 5.666 or 2.95. Was it a copy from the latest torrent set or it is an old copy? Try downloading a fresh copy if you haven't already. It's possible an old copy had MP3 validation issues like Rozo mentioned, but even then I've not seen files like that crash Winamp or have difficulty playing. Lemme know if any more information turned up on the issue.

For the mascots, they're low-res versions of character images paired with information from the bios, so, not that I'm a lawyer, but I believe we have an instance of fair use. We've taken down mascots by request, but overall we're not worried about infringement due to the nature of the usage. We're not going to use unrelated non-VG characters as our mascots, since we're a video game arrangement site. That said, when we change forums (hopefully sometime in Q1 2015), people should be able to upload their own avatars and you can use whatever you want, including the OC you're developing. If you want to vote on the 3 characters from the OP that you'd like to see added to the rotation, go for it!

For a 3:39-long piece, I needed at least 109.5 seconds of overt source usage for it to dominate the arrangement. 05-:17, :18-1:00, 1:07-1:10, 1:44-1:47, 1:56-2:01, 2:12.5-2:37, 2:39-2:43.5, 2:45.5-2:49, 2:51.5-3:04, 3:18-3:35 = 127 seconds or 57.99% overt source usage Short and sweet, the snare drum writing in particular was bland; some more spice there would have this sounding more spirited and sophisticated. The backing writing as a whole sounded thin IMO, but you got some good mileage out of these sounds for sure. Overall, the texture was strong. I really enjoyed the creativity, energy and variations on the themes (including the "Green Hill Zone" guest appearance at 1:44). Let's go! YES

OC ReMix Presents Dungeonmans Remanstered! January 12, 1015 Contact: press@ocremix.org Now for your listening pleasure, OC ReMix presents Dungeonmans Remanstered, a FREE arrangement album featuring 14 mixes of Andrew "zircon" Aversa's soundtrack to Dungeonmans! Buy it on Steam if you're into rogue-likes, old-school RPG's, and, well... dungeons. The album features McVaffe, Joshua Morse, WillRock, Inverse Phase, Sir Jordanius, and more... even if you HATE literally everything about dungeons OR mans, you need to check this album out for the amazing musics. "Anytime someone takes the time to create an arrangement or interpretation of your original work, it's a wonderful feeling. So, to hear so many talented folks take on Dungeonmans is truly special," says Dungeonmans composer Andrew Aversa. "I was absolutely thrilled at the quantity and quality of remixes from both the friends that I personally invited, as well as the musicians who submitted to the contest. From hard rock and funk to EDM and chiptunes, I absolutely love every minute of it." Dungeonmans is an epic roguelike adventure by Adventurepro Games inspired by classic RPGs and dungeon crawlers, now available on Steam. Create a unique champion and enjoy dozens of hours of tactical combat, deep character customization, and exploration of a world that is randomly-generated each time you play. Aversa's score and song names for Dungeonmans (score available at OverClocked Records) were strongly inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics composer Hitoshi Sakimoto. "Ever since I became a composer, I've wanted to write a soundtrack to a game like Dungeonmans; something that hearkens back to my days of playing classic 16- and 32-bit RPGs," Aversa noted. "The developer, Jim Shepard, shares my love of these games and their soundtracks. He's very passionate about game music. Working on this project was thus a fantastic creative experience and the final result is, in my opinion, my finest score to date."

You should mention them somewhere so that we know of all the VGM pieces used in the arrangement, even if it's just cameos for several themes. Cameos don't need to be right in the "Name of individual song(s) arranged", but include some mention of them in your general comments. Timestamps help too.

Sweet handle! Love it.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe the comma is necessary here. Polo, co-sign or link to grammar rule on a comma use like this?

Well aware about Shovel Knight, though the same could be said for 100+ other characters. That said, no posted ReMixes of that game just yet. These 50 in this go-around are only from games represented with posted ReMixes.

He's just obsessed with Nicholas Cage. Don't waste time with Brandon's dumb request. As far as 1/31 for the art deadline, we're just seeing how much we can initially pull together.

Tanooki Mario is so awesome in the lineup. MEMORIES!

So you're pointing out a perceived lack of "newer" mixes represented in that piece, even though a "balanced" distribution of post-OCR02500 mixes would have meant only 4 of them chosen, not the 7 in the actual article?

http://www.avclub.com/article/staff-and-artists-overclocked-remix-make-us-list-t-212621 Of the 25 mentioned... OCR00001-1000: 6 mixes OCR01001-2000: 7 mixes OCR02000-3000: 12 mixes

My word isn't gospel, but a decent clip of 'em would still pass today. If I have free time, I'll try to give a rough answer sometime in January.

There is no join option. You write the bio in this thread and it goes through the edit process with Polo, Dafydd & the community. Oftentimes, there's back and forth involved to make sure everything's correct in terms of spelling, grammar and style (e.g. not overusing words, making things clear, not being needlessly detailed, no major spoilers, etc.). Once the bio's in its final form, then Polo will wikify it. Take a first stab at a bio in this thread and then the editing team will scrutinize it.

Yep, it's happening!

Careful, people. He'll do this. It's Bonk.
