Dammit Coop, you weren't supposed to give it Skynet's number. YOU'VE DOOMED US ALL! THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! THE END IS NIGH

He was too busy eating McRibs to appear on camera, Kyle.

That explains why it called me a twit...

I managed to sneak an actual picture of Judganator.

I submitted a track and the Judganator told me it needed more dodo chirps. How am I supposed to add the sound effects of the majestic but extinct dodo bird?

Happy birthday, Hak. Hope it was a great one, since I think it's basically over for you since TIME ZONES and you're all the way in Croatia. BUT HERE'S A CAKE ANYWAYS.

I love when people complain that X-2 is "Final Fantasy Barbie Doll" when the costume changes are completely in line with past instances of the Job system (such as FF5 and FF3), and yet just because they're referred to as Dresspheres suddenly it's way too girly lol And yeah, X-2's battle system is amazing.

You went in with a negative bias from the start and that colored your entire review. Professional reviewers (usually) review without bias. Or should, at least.

Yeah I don't even have a proper recording setup. Just a crappy onboard mic. Honestly with the people who signed up I'm a bit intimidated to submit anything :\ Which isn't helping my procrastination.

Please finish that Chrisboe. That seriously is incredible. :3

my god that is glorious though i'm a little uncomfortable with mario giving me those bedroom eyes D:

I honestly forgot this was a thing because last I checked the topic still said signing-up period so I got confused and oh god I have to hurry up and crank out a track D:

There, found some Shredders. Sorry. Couldn't resist the puns! But hey, everyone loves some Ninja Turtles, right? Seriously though, hope you find what you're looking for. :3

And Anorax claims My Home Sweet Home from Breath of Fire II!

The workshop has, to me, always primarily been a place to post work in progress mixes and get feedback on how to improve those mixes. Maybe the balance is off, maybe the soundscape is too sparse, whatever. If there was an issue with a track, the workshop was a prime place to find out what that issue was. If there's a simple 1-10 system applied to all songs, then the workshop loses that purpose. "Oh I got all 1s. I know it was bad and a very very rough WIP, but I'd like to know what could've been done to improve it." "Not bad. A mix of 7s and 6s with an 8 or two thrown in. I wonder what they liked the most." "Ah sweet, 9s and 10s. I sure hope that's not just because and there's actually a reason for it." Those are three completely hypothetical thoughts that could be, well, thought if we relied on the 1-10 rating system and nobody ever explained their ratings. One of the great things about the compos we've had in recent years is that even if there's separate places to vote and to post about the mixes, there's been a lot of good reviews posted about the songs in each round. And those often point out little issues that could be done to improve each track. Which causes the songs to wind up in the workshop when people want to improve them. And if they went from "Cool I know exactly what to do" and then they did it, posting it in the workshop for reviews on the improvements... a 1-10 system would be the complete opposite of that. No feedback, just a number. A number that can mean many different things to different people, depending on how they interpret the score, but generally a lower number is worse. Unless you're playing golf, which we aren't. I think the Like system would be much more beneficial, as it prevents any negative reactions from a low score in addition to also showing how good it is. It might be even better if the Likes were hidden (as timaeus suggested above), as those would prevent people from liking on principle because the song has a lot of likes and instead would require them to listen to the song and decide for themselves. And really, what use is the workshop if people are just liking without listening?

Oh I know, it's a harmless mistake. No worries.

Only artists that have already been added to the tracklist can access the forums. And me, of course. And select mods. Since you already claimed a track, you should be able to see it. (and jorito, let's not give direct instructions on where to find the PRIVATE FORUMZ please, even if most people can't get there lol)

Someone please sneak in some Aquatic Ruin in memory of Pete.

what the shell? I'm shocked you're doing this party!

wildfire has dethroned the champ? also DAMMIT PETE

If I win I'm forcing Will to join Hometown Heroes. THIS I SWEAR

I'm not saying use that over the forum feedback system, merely to use that as an alternative if one chooses to. Obviously the forums will be the primary method of getting that feedback, but using the already existing IRC channel as a secondary or possibly even a tertiary method of getting feedback would be useful too. Hell, one of the people on Hometown Heroes I met thanks to #ocrwip, which is why I invited him.

I just realized there's no thread or anything pointing out #ocrwip in the Workshop forum anymore. I could've sworn there used to be. Perhaps with this revamp we could plug that channel? Since it is a useful asset and all.

I'm still concerned about the lack of the theme in the tracklist. That's a great track, and it isn't the same boss battle theme as in the second game, which has its own boss battle theme.

I'd hope you make a track! DON'T GIVE UP! DON'T BE AN HERO!
