Meh, I'm sure a lot of us have played civ 2 before - don't feel too bad, Rozo. I friend of mine owns the GP2X, and it's pretty neat (especially since it can run most 2d emulators flawlessly). The open source stuff that you can get for it is great, too (I played a little raiden-like shooter on it - it was pretty nice ).

Wow. This arrangement just sent some chills down my spine, which I'll admit happens very rarely, nowadays. Very subtle, yet it has a certain sublime quality to it that I can't pin. The arrangement is incredibly rich, yet it doesn't sound cluttered at all. Wonderful - Orchestral arrangement at it's finest, folks. Just download it.

What the hell? No one's posted this yet? Here's to our nun-punching, soul crushing, politically incorrect off-topic celebrity. How can someone read his crap here and not smile? Happy birthday, man.

Heads - Maybe you should do it, maybe not Tails - Flip again Problem solved!

It cuts off at the end for me, but it could just be my connection, so meh... no comments about the ending I think your mastering is top notch, to be honest - everything is very clear and nothing is muddy or clipping. Very nice work on that. I don't know whether to call this too much source or too little, right now... When the source is playing there is little to no variation to it ('too much source'), and when you make something up it doesn't sound very related to the source (although there IS a little bit of association to it, towards the end). Hmm, a tough call, but I'd say the lack of variation to the source when it's there makes it a little less interesting than it could be (although I like the source, too ). Very nice sound to it, overall, though - I'm making an OCR complaint about the source, as that's a restriction they have. If you planned on submitting it you'd need to address it, otherwise don't worry about it too much. Hey look, I'm now Chrono! Woot. This will look stupid when I don't have +800 posts anymore

Thanks for the feedback, Jabond - I've boosted the bass, turned down the lead and improved the mixing quality of the whole thing. However, I also turned up the entire mix a decible or two, so it may seem like I didn't turn down any of the things you mentioned . I don't think it's as painful as before, though. The first post is updated with the new version. I also added some new stuff... Check it out. It sounds loads better - although I still didn't fix the drums .

Heh, I think in your time line it's like the middle of the day or something. If 11:00am - 1:00pm works for you then I think we'll see you there .

Ah, so the demigod of the compos renounces his throne... We'll miss you man.

Well I hope someone got my request... Damn, the 21st is way too long for me to wait to find out what everyone got... Patience is a virtue, I guess .

There's always demigodhood... It's not so bad, Neko - it took me a while to get used to being a demigod (rather than a god), but it's something you get used to in time .

Hmm, a source I never heard before... hey, it's not half bad! I think I'll keep it .

Your dark Oji god will not save you from the coal Rami may or may not send you. Be very afraid.

I think there's one tonight, as it's counting down as it should - it's just that the first post isn't updated. See you there . Edit: Bleh, a free for all... That takes the fun out of it, for me. Ah well, maybe next week .

Wow, these are brilliant! I've got to say, everything you do here is amazing, man!

Woa, your text is all in red.... neat. What kind of voice do you have, bass, bari, tenor, lyric, pop, etc.? Performers are always welcome on OCR, as long as they're willing to share their talent with others (as you seem to be). Welcome to OCR .

The harmonies... well, most of them are a little abrasive, to me - and it doesn't help that they don't move anywhere, either. They seem to get in the way of the very smooth music you have going, there. If you like them, fine - but they could be toned down a little, as they drown the rest of the music out a little bit. It's still nice, though .

Mmm... nice sound, overall. It's quite peaceful. That little woodblock/shaker you have going is a nice touch. The harmonies are a bit off - try shifting them around a bit so they fit better and it would fit better... Actually, with a song about piece, the harmonies might not even be needed. Production-wise I can see your getting much better. Keep it up!

Well, only 3 1/2 days left... I'm looking forward to the flood of mixes that'll come at the last minute, but it isn't always bad to have something here earlier .

Hey everyone! I haven't posted anything on the WIP boards in a while (and I find myself writing on here often enough), so I decided to throw something out there for you guys to tear up . Jurassic Park - Hot Steppin' Dinosaurs http://www.box.net/shared/f3mn1049ky Source Yeah, it's a techno/trance mix of the already heavily remixed Mountain theme from Jurassic Park snes game. The drums are weak and repetitive, as I've just copy/pasted the same beat throughout, but they're unfinished... if you know of any good Reason bass drum samples I'm listening - I never seem to find anything that works well for this genre. I'm also not satisfied with the intro and there is no work with any of the velocities or dynamics. It's also unfinished, as I'm sure you can tell . Feedback is appreciated!

Well, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it - and I hope it encourages people to write more music and analyze more VG music on their free time (it's always fun to read other people's interpretations of music - often they catch something you'd never think about).

True. In any case, I doubt anyone would get a remix that they're working on as a challenge - the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

Pathetic excuse, in my opinion. What, did he think that his mother was an alien (like the enemies in Halo 3), and decided to shoot her? Are people seriously going to blame video games on the death of someone? No, it's the fact that the parents didn't take the possibility of addiction seriously that got the mother killed. It's still sad, though.

Blizzard is a master of holding things up so this patch delay is absolutely no surprise... Even still, I did go all out and practice like crazy for it. Yeah, another practice run would be good for all of us when they finally give the two week notice .

Reading that again, it makes me lol... Needless to say I'm pretty sad that it isn't out yet ...

I think it would be reasonable to request another challenge, as it wouldn't necessarily be a 'challenge' if your already working on it.
