  2. It's a little less about those channels, specifically, and more about the overall theme of the network - freenode seems heavily focused on OSS, whereas Esper seems focused on gaming, anime, etc., which includes some existing VGM channels. I don't think OCR is entirely outside the scope of freenode, based on their own description, but between OSS projects and gaming/fandom communities, it seems like we fall more in the latter than the former. That's my rationale, since feature/stability-wise they seem comparable. If anyone has a magic bullet that conclusively rules out Esper in favor of freenode, by all means share it, but it seems like while there's an overwhelming preference on moving to one OR the other, there's no strong arguments for one OVER the other...
  3. Lemme ask a n00b question: Way back before OCR was a gleam in my eye, I (don't laugh) spent time on EFNet on #anime and #ranma or something like that, talking about anime and how rad it was, etc. One of those chans had just migrated from another network, and they actually had a bridge bot that allowed some sort of cross-server communication. I don't remember it working particularly well, but it existed. Is there anything like that out there, that could smooth any potential migration? Also, are DALnet and undernet still options?
  4. I'd like to suggest a production fix being mandatory for posting this mix; solo piano mixes should be cleaner than this.
  5. OverClocked ReMix Releases Free Fan Tribute Album, Teen Agent: The Root of All Evil November 22, 2010 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--OverClocked ReMix today released its 19th album, Teen Agent: The Root of All Evil. The album consists of fourteen arrangements of composer Radek Szamrej's original score to the 1995 PC point-and-click adventure game, Teen Agent, developed and published by Metropolis Software. It is available for free download at http://teenagent.ocremix.org. The Root of All Evil is not affiliated with or endorsed by CD Projekt, the Warsaw-based parent company of Metropolis Software. "I remember playing through Teen Agent as a kid, and I had fond memories of the game and its soundtrack. Although the soundtrack is fairly short, there is a lot of diversity between each track, and the artists involved did their best to do justice to this great work," said Brandon Strader, director and creator of the album. After receving the album from Strader, original composer Radek Szamrej shared his appreciation. "The only thing I can say is it is awesome. Every song brings back the memories. Thank you all for helping me re-create these fond memories!" "I would really like to thank everyone who has stepped up and helped make this OCR album project a reality. We wanted to make it sound as good as possible while experimenting, and expanding on these themes," stated Strader. "Enjoy the music, and try the game!"

  6. I've been quietly slipping for years now... shhhh. Yeah Frank didn't mention that in his submission email, and while I knew it in the back of my head, I forgot to mention that. That's what these review threads are for, fixing my gaffes
  7. Alright, I'll chime in: This mix isn't cookie-cutter, by my definition. We've all heard FAR more generic, auto-pilot, by-the-numbers submissions that I might call "cookie-cutter," which are usually MUCH more conservative as well. This mix has several permutations/variations on the melody, competent production with substantial variation, etc. Don't get me wrong, this arrangement isn't overflowing with innovation, but it crosses the T's and dots the I's and most importantly DOES go beyond "cookie-cutter" in terms of the arrangement. The production is dance/electronica - it uses a lot of staples, fine, but it uses them effectively and competently. Not every mix is going to be the second coming or reinvent the genre; it's enough - by our own submission standards, as written - that the source be arranged in a fashion that shows clear interpretation, and that production be sufficiently sophisticated for the genre/context. I believe this mix meets both of those stated criteria, and that adding an additional criteria for innovation within the production aspects of a genre is not necessary. It's better - amazing, even - when mixes DO color outside the lines a bit more, but I'm not comfortable with saying that coloring within them makes a mix ineligible. YES
  8. I remained quite unaroused. ... not exactly an endorsement. Looks weak to me, but I'd love to be surprised...
  9. Just gonna chime in and say that this video is EXACTLY what I had in mind when I started OCR. I almost feel like I can quit now...
  10. Sounds like a good idea to me; it's now on my task list.
