Mine needs to have its name updated as well as status changed to Active Recruiting.....
YES I AM STILL ALIVE AND IN NO WAY IGNORING THESE POSTS TO PLAY SONIC AND ALL STARS RACING TRANSFORMED
Phew, diverted that bullet!
(Read: I'll have some free time hopefully after work today to tackle this before I do anything else)

I fear Tony and his cadre of musical warriors because of the sheer fact that his recording setup is an angry robot face. Oh, and your performance was awesome. <3
Were you using an iPod and clicktrack to keep Kunal in sync with the keys so you all played in-time? If so, how well did that work for you?
-
Also, album release when?
We're finalizing what songs we want to put on it, as well as any new arrangements we want to make for it. Couple that with us sorting out a potential PAXEast Jamspace concert and the arrangements we're creating for that, with the current workload were HOPING for sometime this year.
We'll be sure to hit you in the eye with the corner of the disc case when it does come out.
Really! Is there videological evidence? I love that track.It was our first live performance, at MAGFest 2011. I remember distinctly there being both video and audio for it, so youtube search for "OCR Live" to hopefully find it. We went under that moniker until we decided to make OverClocked University a "real thing".

Kung Fu RiderSteve, I know you dont forums much, but I didn't think I was going to like Nights: Into Dreams very much. I played it for the first time last week. It's surrealistic visuals and catchy music make up for it's floaty ass controls.
I forums every now and again. This statement makes me very happy. I'll have to set up my Saturn in the basement the next time you come over so you can experience the original with the seemingly tighter controls. Graphics on the Saturn, while amazing for the time, will probably make your eyes barf, though.
I actually hated NiGHTS the first few times I played it. Sure, the music was fantastic but I was 12 years old when I got it and I had NO IDEA how to be good at it. Took me over a month to actually beat a level. But it gripped me and I was persistent and then just absolutely loved every aspect of it.
It didn't help that my Saturn's battery backup never worked right so I was never able to save my games and had to beat the whole game from scratch every time I turned the machine on. We were REAL gamers back then. Like real cowboys only less smelly and we didn't ride horses.
JamestownPlaying through it with Val these days. It was fun solo, love the steampunk alternate universe take on the colonies, and awesome music. But playing it with two, three, four friends local co-op? It becomes a fine wine, aged from the days when four player arcade games were all the rage. Absolute blast.
Katamari DamacyThis was another one that caught me way offguard. Had a dormmate who was a bit of a japanophile and I walked in on him playing it one day. I had no clue what was going on on the screen but he insisted that I give it a try.
From the opening movie I think I met one of the loves of my life that day.

The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse
My Dad rented this for me a kid. I was never that much into Disney but I liked some of the movies. I was a little hurt when he got me that game because I thought he was treating me too much like a child (you know, me being nine years old and all trying to act a bit more grown up at the time). I initially refused to play it. Then I got bored. Really, really bored.
The title screen and intro music didn't do much for me, but the music was pretty good there. Then the story started and I felt like I was right on the money: this game was for kids. PLUTO HAD BEEN KIDNAPPED, OH NOES! But when the first stage started...
It hit me: I totally glossed over the fact that I saw a big "Capcom" intro logo. This was a playformer, and a damn solid one at that. With costume changes that had different abilities, kinda like Mega Man, some great music and really good level/character designs, this game was ridiculously fun, whimsical, and challenging. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up buying it when I saw it used at Blockbuster when I was 13. I spent a huge chunky of money on it: $26 (I was really bad with money management). $26 for a used SNES game in 1998?! I WAS MAD. So good, though. Highly recommended.

Very sad news indeed. Fantastic composer.

I think I count 6 of mine that are over 3 months waiting for eval
I have one that's about five months waiting for eval. Lots of people are waiting. Considering how many mixes you have to be posted, I don't think you need to worry about a lack of your material being represented on the site for a good, long time.
Sit back and relax, man. The judges be working as fast as they can.
Edit: I've changed the wiki to say something a bit more realistic and accurate:
"If the currently judging date is past when you submitted your arrangement, you have had no contact about it and do not see it on the judging queue, contact a judge about it."
So, I believe i have a couple of mixes sitting for like, 2 years or so, and never got posted... at this point i can't even remember when i've submitted them... or which ones they are... Can they be posted already? Like... now?If its a fallthrough, best to contact Liontamer or OA about it (if you have not already done so). Any judge will actually do, though.

Welcome to OverClocked University!
As this is the first day of class, please take a seat and we'll go over the course syllabi:
Who We Are:
OverClocked University is a group of performing musicians made of up a handful of OverClocked ReMix veterans, who perform at OCR panels and various conventions. They arrange video game songs, both familiar and obscure, with a penchant for rock arrangements. As of now, the band consists of four core performing musicians:
OA/Andrew Luers - Guitars
Level 99/Stevo Bortz - Guitars
diotrans/Amy Hsieh - Violin
DragonAvenger/Deia Vengen - Bass
Thomas Colegrove - Drums
Songs are arranged by one or more of the performing musicians, and played live with backing tracks for drums and additional instruments. The group is supported by the following people:
Brandon Strader - Videos
Rexy/Bev Wooff - Videos
Palpable/Vinnie Prabhu - Performance Technical Expert
Vilecat/Valérie Legendre - Performance Technical Expert
What We're Doing:
Going around to lots of places to rock face with as many VGM fans as we can manage! We're always working on new arrangements, and we're currently in plans for our first full-length album. We've been playing OCR panels for over two years now and we are starting to book at conventions and concerts with a full setlist in-tow.
We just played our first full set at MAGFest and have the video uploaded for your enjoyment. Check it:

You didn't use it wrong. Stevo is just really really stupid.By the way that face stevo makes in all of his pictures, that's not just something he does come photo time...
That's actually him.

Im curious if there is any particular method to officially representing OCR at a con, even if just as some sort of panel that discusses what OCR is, how it works and sharing some examples. Im assuming having at least one mixpost would be a plus( so people take you a bit more seriously). The reason Im curious is because I thought it would be fun to run a panel at Anime Detour, or another of the cons in the midwest area. The panel would inform as to what OCR is, what we do, how to get involved as a musician or supporter, and just general info about the group. It might be a year or so before I felt confident enough to run it, but I figure I may as well ask right now while the idea is fresh in my head.
If you're considering doing a panel at Anime Detour, might want to check in with some Midwest OCR folks. I know we already did a panel at Anime Detour in 2010, where OA, Brushfire, and myself were present. OA is a local to that area, Brushfire and I are not.
For most panels I guess its generally preferred to have an OCR staff member there as representation in an official capacity, but if you're able to work with staff folks ahead of time I don't believe it is a hard requirement. We have a powerpoint that we continue to edit and update for each convention.
Mixpost isn't normally something done at a panel. Sometimes they get done around the date of a panel to inform folks on the site about it.
Anyway, I suggest PMing OA to get the ball rolling on a potential panel in his local area, seeing as having someone from staff would help you greatly to figure out what to do.

To the second hottest judge on the panel, I hope all your birthday wishes come true! <3
Happy birthday!!
Good thing she never knocked me off my post of #1 hottest judge....in this fanfic I wrote called "Deia's Big Day where Stevo is a Judge".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEIA! Continue your unparalleled assault against the queue, making crafts, wearing funny hats, and catering to sir fuzzy nuts' every demand.

Just got it, wow, what a wealth of formats.
I hope the dev keeps tuning it. Listening to monty on the run right now....the sid emu isn't so hot for one.
But the direct access to some databases was just what i was looking for, thanks!
Modland access was one of the big deal-makers for me, yeah. Unfortunately/Fortunately, he does tweak it as time goes by but he normally makes it more resource intensive. After the 1.1 update, my old iPhone 3g started chugging on a number of formats. What model are you using? It may be the SID player part itself or it may be that your machine can't HANDLE the awesomeness.
-
I use
for the same thing. Wider variety of formats, you can load files via an FTP client AND download from several online databases.
Modizer is the single most useful app for music on the entire iOS store.

'bout time! What took you so long, getting married or something?
Married? What are you talking about? Girls don't like me. I'm too fuzzy.
-
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT l'LL UPDATE THE FREAKING OP, PEOPLE!
-
I've been looking around on YouTube since MAGfest began and ended for live performances by OverClocked University. I also sort of expected an OCR track post by them during MAGfest, too. I can't find anything. So did the live band perform or am I just not looking at the right places? Hopefully anyone here can redirect me to some videos.
Video and Audio from the performance are being edited as we speak.
-
Thank you, everyone! I wouldn't have met Val if it weren't for OCReMix and MAGFest, so this community is, in part, responsible for where my life currently is. Thank you all for your love and support.
here ya go
-
I can zip up all the ones I put up in their untouched / uncropped versions and also others that I didn't post and send them your way.
The beard is pleased with your offering and would like to grab your butt a little for it.
-
Those came out great. Big ups to the photographer.
Stevo, make sure to check the ones I got of you guys on my Facebook album in addition to these ones. I hope you guys like them!
Got them and will be downloading them when I get home. Are full res available on them? We're trying to cobble together stuff for promos and performance requests in the future, and those would seriously help us out. They were fantastic!
Do it....for Fogo.....

Can't wait to rock out even harder next year, folks. MAGFest won't be the only venue we play but goddamn was it a blast.
PS. Fuck your screen resolution, these pictures are worth it.
-
dat OA face
also, I am so many jealous of diotrans DK tie
I think the photographer just hates Senor Cardgage, which is why I was in, like, one picture that he took.
But then I forget about that every time I see DAT OA FACE

Oh crap my shoulder and neck are killing me, my throat is dry as a bone and just as pleasant, I can feel the MAGFlu creeping up on me already, and yet I still can't put into words just how amazing this weekend was.
Post MAGFest Depression is going to be the worse this year. It is offset only by two things: 1) there are some people still sticking around a bit after today so its not like everyone says goodbye at once and 2) I both bought and got rid of a copy of Shaq Fu this weekend.

Yes I did. I only had enough time yesterday to do about 75% of the updates to existing projects and added a few based on sequentially reading through this thread. Dinner plans with neighbors every Tuesday and had some personal things to take care of as well. It will get updated today.
See above response. I'm working on it, yo.
