Unnhhh! I feel like I should watch ESPNNews for the weekly update of OCRCL.
That's a good thing.

EDIT: Two portions of the standings table.
It's so pretty... but at the same time, I feel....
dyslexic.

Listen, if you aren't aware, there's this thing called protein folding, which requires computer processing power. Basically, it's a brute force consideration of all the molecular possibilities if we do all these different things with strands of protein (protein is what DNA is made up of), and it's very important for various biological/medical research reasons. You can create and join a team that will get a ranking based on the number of work units you've completed, and OCR has its own team.
All you have to do is download this little program that you just leave running whenever your computer's on, and put your processing power to good use. It's not invasive and won't affect your other programs. It only uses what processing power you happen to have available at any given time, without affecting other processes. We're trying to recruit more people now, because Gamefaqs is about to get ahead of us!!! Yes, those stupid bastards have more active CPUs and they are quickly closing the gap. We need to fight back. Sign up! Sign up now!
Yeah, I'm already in a Folding At Home group that isn't OCR related.

Estoy aqui.
This new idea of Kamoh's is exciting. It feels a lot like baseball to me.
Hey why is Week 1 dubbed "Week 0"? I'm sure there's a good reason for it...
Oh, and Kamoh, I have a weird request to make - if you intend on posting updates and standings and all that stuff we like and you're so good at, can you do one little thing: since handles at OCR are case-sensitive, can you spare me searching through the entire thread looking for someone's post to know exactly how to spell their handle (e.g. does RocketSniper have a space, capital letters, etc.) and instead just label their standings in exactly the way it is at OCR? I appreciate the consideration.

Don't want to lose this thread yet...
At least not before I get to hear the whole piece.
Is anybody working on making a midi of the new horns and drums? I'd really like a copy of the finished product.
Any new updates, Steben?
But it's still pertinent now.
Hey, just out of curiosity, do you know of any translations to the lyrics to KOTR online? If so, could you post the link here? I tried searching for them, but didn't find anything.

I just paly for fun, and am rated about 14-1500 on yahoo.
I prefer blitz, 10 minute games are fine, as I can get thru openings quickly.
Were you, perchance, looking for this thread?

So, I have a funny story about a hard boss...
Granted, Giygas was far from the hardest boss I've faced, and realitstically he isn't even close to the hardest boss in EarthBound alone, but even so, if one does not know how to defeat him, then it can get kind of tricky.
At one point, I was in Giygas's last incarnation, and I had prayed a total of 8 times, with the standard results, and everything was going as planned, when suddenly, after inputting my teammates' attacks, (NESS: Bash, PAULA: Pray, JEFF: something?, POO: Lifeup, Ness) Giygas's attack rendered Poo 'confused.' No big deal, since only Paula had to survive to pray just one more time, and the game would be over. No such luck - after Ness got his bash in, Poo used lifeup on...
who?...
Giygas! Lifeup Sigma completely revives the HP of exactly one of your party members, and, confused, he had accidentally revived Giygas to full HP! That's exactly what the script read, too. "Giygas HP is restored!" or whatever. So, mouth agape, I watch as Paula performs her 9th prayer, and... it works, just like it's supposed to, proving that the final battle is just a script, just as we suspected it was. But in retrospect, I found that story to be quite humorous.

I, also, enjoy most the ending climax - very well constructed for maximum output. And while having never played the game, I have to admit that this piece has a very catchy melody.
I wonder about the name of the piece, though - discrete reference to SC Vanguard's 2006 show? Probably just a coincidence.

Hi, I'm a pisces and I like to make lightsaber noises when I play with the mop when I should be mopping the floor.

Man, some of the Sigma's in the X series can be tough.
I heard somewhere that Ozma from FF9 was voted in as the hardest RPG boss of all time or something, but I doubt that's true. He really wasn't that crazy difficult...I mean, if people can beat him with a level one party, then he can't be THAT monstrous.
If you spent the time and effort to earn the SUPER BOSS KILLER MOVES in either of the first two Xs, then Sigma was, in fact, super duper easy.
You know who was harder than any incarnation of Sigma? Dr. Wily's third incarnation in Mega Man 7, for SNES. Only one hit per appearance, using a weapon that took about two (2) hit points, I think, (he had no obvious weaknesses) and avoiding four (4) bursts of elemental damage that took roughly 1/9 of your life meter. And it's not like the bursts were easy to avoid, either!

Howdy M&M! (actually, I just wanted to say that.)
So, It looks like all we have in common is..
QueenSome Bands that I currently like are:
...My favorite Guitarists areI'm a percussionist!
Hey! We should start a band!
-
...it doesn't sound like you have much on the percussion side of things.
...
Are you denying this?
It's truth, not criticism.
I'm not sure I know what you mean. The percussion part has already been written, just never midi'd accurately. If that's what you meant, then of course there's no denying it.
...whew. This means that the recording that is posted in this thread doesn't have the percussion part I already wrote, though Steben is working in Finale to get it to sound accurate to the intention.

School's kicking my butt. In additon to all my performing groups (symphonic band, marching band, men's chorus, low brass studio), I have three maths and a music history to worry about. Bleh. However, I don't have a football game to worry about this weekend, so I plan on installing Finale and transfering the song over.
Goody, goody. I get to hear it first. I get to hear it first.
So, like, you gotta check out the Tech-Notre Dame game in two weeks. I hope it turns out well - we knocked off two 3rd ranked teams last year. Miami and ...
oh gosh...
What was that other one??

Onilink = best. Link. ever.
Psh. Yeah.

Just out of curiosity, Nathaír, how would you pronounce your name?
-
So I'll tell you what the word is -
Had drum camp at Tech this past weekend, and Eric, our drumline specialist, informed some of us that his associate "Tater" is instructing the AU drumline this summer...
And apparently has been forced to start from square one with his people. Which is good for them, don't get me wrong - but it's still funny to me.
Proving yet again GT's superiority to AU in one more area.
-
So what's the word, Steben? Updates? Keep us posted.

King K Rool on Donkey Kong 64.
I always get to the Diddy part of the fight, but the control is so loose and hard to hit the targets, I just end up shutting the game off in fear. I can't even imagine the other parts of the fight.
Not that the battle was that difficult, but I had the hardest time with Lanky's part. I think it took me like 3 tries before I even figured out how to defeat K. Rool.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, remade for the GBA and titled Link's Awakening DX
GBC, not GBA. GBA got A Link to the Past.
Oh yeah. My bad.

If you mean yourself... ummm, sure?
Someone loves me!
The thing in my "siggy" is a picture of the game art for Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, remade for the GB*C* and titled Link's Awakening DX (hence the reference), and a picture of Ansem from Kingdom Hearts in honor of June As End Boss Month, respectively. The other crap is fan badges.
I was referring to me.
