  1. http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01345/ If this doesn't do Ninja Gaiden II justice, no song does.
  2. wha....really? It sounded like a cross between an Accordion and a string instrument of some sort...either it's a weird violin sample or my idea of a Violin is completely mixed up with something else. w/e it fits the song :} That sounds delicious as hell.
  3. I said I wouldn't be available Sunday, but I got confuzzled with saturday. I can totally do it.

  5. Everything that takes place on the internet ever is at a time I am unavailable. Eh, my entry was mixed terribly anyway, I'd rather not see people's reactions to it.
  6. Kidd Cabbage's take on Super Metroid is really sweet too.
  7. I'm just gonna go ahead and say that Kidd Cabbage's song is the shit. /metalbias EDIT: I guess I'll review some of this sucka while I am here. Note that these are in completely in random order. In fact it's just random songs I felt like listening to that I picked randomly. So ya. Might of Baron: Great idea with great execution. I just wish the Guitar tone was a little better. Not much else to really critique here, this is pretty awesome. Full of Courage: Good, but I wish there was more energy here. I guess that what Might of Baron is supposed to be for. The Flying Machine: Really awesome and packed full of punch and emotion. Really makes me wanna break out the game again. Excellent work, if not just a tad short. Read the Sine: More of a sound experiment than an actual song. Too quirky for my taste, although it is pretty creative. I just wish there was some sort of climax here instead of a bunch of soundscapes going on. Recommended only for synth junkies. Emerald Beauty: Really like this one. That lead sound that comes in at :58 confuses me though; what instrument is that? Reminds me a lot of Dali Village from Final Fantasy IX, which is a HUGE compliment, my friend. Saxophone parts are gorgeous, too. Nice work. RDX Necklace: You really have to approach this one from a certain perspective to truly appreciate it. It's meant to capture the mood of the actual scene where the summoner's village is burned to the ground, and does a remarkable job. It's awesome in a movie soundtrack kind of way. It's a surreal, soundscape type of audio like Read the Sine, but actually relates to what's going on with the actual source. Very cool. Of Fiend and Man: I remember not liking this one at the listening party, but listening to it now, I actually like it. Like RDX Necklace, you have to approach this one from a movie soundtrack perspective, and I ended up finding this song pretty good in the end. There's some parts that are BEGGING (especially the last minute) for louder, more obvious/metal guitar parts instead of the Orchestral elements hogging all the attention. Still a good remix, though. I'll review more if I feel like it. I guess these were in order after all..
  8. While I thought the female vocals could have been a bit better, I think the team did just fine in terms of trying to achieve an epic finale; an entire orchestra can easily be created artificially with the right samples and mixing, and being a trained singer doesn't mean squat if you're not passionate or you aren't born with a good vocal tone. Now personally I didn't like the Zeromous track (or maybe I haven't listened to it enough) but there's no denying the creativity AND the work involved here, so surely you can, at the very least, appreciate that aspect of the song. If not, I'd enjoy seeing you try to make a better remix. As for being upset with the remix not having enough of the original source, just try to look at it from a more musical perspective than a nostalgic one. I'll readily admit enjoying conservative remixes more than liberal ones (hence why I enjoy making Mega Man METAL RAWR), but once you give a liberal mix enough of a chance, and abandon the perspective of listening to the song for pure nostalgia, you could find a really great piece of work. I will say, however, than I don't enjoy an energetic song being turned to something ambient, or vice versa, unless the melody REALLY lends itself to making a good transition for such. Just chill, bro. Appreciate it for what it is: Music.
  9. Don't forget the bitchin' music for the final level of Comix Zone. As well as the last battle.
  10. Final Fantasy IX had a strange 2 player option, too.
  11. Nice Dwelling of Duels entry, joe...

    Can you find mine? :)

  12. I don't really like older games more because they're old, I just tend to find newer games kind of depressing...most of them, anyway. Mega Man 9 was totally awesome and, like Nekofrog, was my favorite game of last year. I like games that are simple and not too complex nowadays, I guess. I think I'm turning into a casual gamer. Yet I still enjoy a good turn-based RPG... EDIT: Actually, I've had a penchant for fighting games lately. The only game I'm playing at all right now is Street Fighter 4. And I need to start picking up on that Fatal Fury collection I bought...
