  1. Was going by what IGN said in their review, where the game is listed as being on the Mac. I'm not 100% sure about that atm, but I can get back to you. But I appreciate the comment
  2. Danny Baranowsky will be interviewed on Radio Free Gamer tomorrow, Wednesday the 20th, about his soundtrack for the newly-released Super Meat Boy for the Xbox 360, Wii, PC, and Mac. IGN Editor Daemon Hatfield referred to Baranowsky's chiptune soundtrack to Super Meat Boy as "the best I've heard since Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game", which is high praise considering the amazing quality of the . Join Radio Free Gamer this Wednesday from 7-9 PM Eastern at 8BitX.com to hear the interview, as well as other great video game music. If you cannot listen live, be sure to download the podcast when it is posted later this week. The interview will also be posted to Youtube. If you have any questions you want asked during the interview, please feel free to leave them here!
  3. Hey all, I've posted part 2 in my series "A Guide to the VGM Scene." This part of the series focuses on remixing culture and sites where you can download video game remixes. It includes quotes from OCRemixers to give it some insight as to the motivations behind remixing vgm. I hope you enjoy it! The article is here. If you can, I'd appreciate upvotes on Digg, Reddit, or N4G and any mentions on Twitter or the like. If you like the article, I also host a podcast featuring free VGM. The links are in my sig.
  4. Some fun tracks in there. Really dug the eastern styles on the Shadowrun track, and it's great to see that game get some attention. Anyway, would you mind if I played a few of these tracks on my radio show/podcast, Radio Free Gamer? PM me if you have any questions about the show, or check out the links in my sig. Thanks!
  5. Thanks for the insightful responses! I aim to have the article done by Thursday, and if I quote you I'll send you a draft before I publish the article.
  6. Hey all! I'm prepping to write a short article introducing people to the video game music remixing community and places they can find remixes. As part of the introduction I wanted to explain the appeal behind remixing, that is, why musicians choose to remix vgm. It would be very presumptuous of me to answer that question myself, so I wanted to get your thoughts on it! For you remixers - What is the appeal of remixing video game music and becoming a part of the remixing community? For everyone - What is the appeal of listening to video game remixes? Your responses would be greatly appreciated, and if I quote you I'll send you a draft of the article so I don't horribly misconstrue your answers. If anyone's interested, the article will be posted on my blog.
  7. Oh man, wow. I never played TES 1 or 2, but 3 and 4 were amazing. I didn't put much emphasis on exploring the game world itself, but rather on finding exploits in the leveling system to make my character as powerful as possible. It kinda reminds me of the WoW episode of South Park. I did tons of grinding to have this powerful character, but I hadn't really experienced the game at all. Maybe I'll go back to Oblivion myself to try and appreciate it more.
  8. Hey all! I'd just like to remind everyone about the interview with DarkeSword and invite you to post any questions you want me to ask during the show. The interview will be live, so feel free to post here or join the chat during the show if you want your FF5 questions (or any other questions) answered. If you really wanted to go the extra yard, you could even leave me a voicemail (with questions for DarkeSword, song requests, or other comments) at 206-984-3330 or via Skype at RadioFreeGamer and I'll play it on the air! This is a newly added feature to boost interactivity and get your opinions out there in your own voice. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you guys tonight at 7PM Eastern on 8BitX.com.
  9. DarkeSword will be joining us this Wednesday the 15th to discuss the Final Fantasy V remix project! It is certainly one of the most underrated FF games, but think of tunes like "Clash on the Big Bridge (Battle with Gilgamesh)", "Dear Friends", and "As I Feel, You Feel" and imagine the possibilites for a remix project! The interview will happen LIVE, so be sure to jump in the chat during the show to ask your questions! As always, we'll have more free video game and video game-inspired music for you guys. Join us live on Wednesday at 7PM Eastern only on the 8BitX Internet Radio Network! If you can't listen live, hit up the podcast!
  10. I've started a series of articles entitled "A Guide to the Video Game Music Scene", aimed at introducing readers to some of the facets of the video game music community. Part 1 focuses on original soundtracks, where you can find them, and which ones you should listen to first. I know this information probably won't be anything new for the people on this forum, but if you like it I'd appreciate it if you'd spread it around so that other people can get an introduction into VGM. I've posted the article on Digg, Reddit, and N4G if you want to upvote it on any of those. Thanks!
  11. I enjoyed the album very much! "human:disengage" is my favorite track, but I love the epic orchestral feel of some of the other mixes. I haven't checked out any of the originals yet, but I will soon. Thanks for posting! Please post here if you have any other album releases, I'd definitely be interested.

  21. Going to do a tribute to Nujabes at the end of next week's Radio Free Gamer. Any requests? Also, @Robotaki, would you mind if I played your remix as part of it?
  22. I stared at the thread title for a solid minute, utterly dumbstruck. I didn't know until now. It's a shame his music isn't as widely known here in America. A lot of people have seen Samurai Champloo, but his entire body of work is utterly amazing and really should be checked out. It has the kind of poignant emotional content which is so rare and special. He will be missed. RIP
  23. Good question! Any more out there? We'd really like to have a couple from the fans, and we figured OCR would be a good place to get some.
  24. This week RFG falls on St. Patrick's Day. In order to celebrate, we're going to have a feature on Irish and Celtic influences on VGM!
