  1. Never Been was released on a mixtape called Kush & Orange Juice, which is available for free. The legality of it is no more than what we do here and the millions of tributes on YouTube. I'm sure he's probably gotten some schmucks to give him money for it, but it was released for free.

    I don't really know the guy or his music, so all these precisions are welcome. Thanks Xenon. :)

  2. Didn't see a topic about this yet
    I think there was already a topic called: "VGM with real-life counterparts", but I can't find it anymore...
    Like, seriously? This wouldn't even pass as a remix here... straight ripoff...
    Yeah, people keen on source interpretation might be upset about it. But this is how sampling has always worked in hip-hop music. ;)

    Legality of source usage is what concerns me, since this is a song from his latest album that also has an official music video and stuff.

    Video which I will not link out of respect, because it's unsurprisingly NSFW and in no way related to Chrono Stripper ...er, I mean Trigger. ;P

    Bottom line, he's proly making money off of SE's beloved property, most likely without being licensed nor paying royalties. :<

  3. because I could be met with a YES but not get posted for what will seem like an eternity [...] Am I the only person who feels this way?
    No, I'm sure others feel this way too. Atm, the main reason why getting posted after passing the panel is taking a long time, is because every single mixpost (including the personalized write-up that comes attached) is being handled by djpretzel himself. Obviously, he has a life and can't possibly dedicate his days to posting remixes. ;)

    But while this is part of how the site has been operating for years, and a form of final approval over the content that hits the front page, I'm sure a lot of people have also been wondering why this archaic tradition has to remain in place, especially in light of the staggering amount of entries now to be posted. I believe this custom is starting to show its limitations in face of the growing popularity of OCR.

    Why are new judges and moderators being hired regularly to help tackle this formidable workload, yet posting remixes remain solely in the hands of djp?

    Surely high-ranking or veteran staffers like LT, Darke or OA could help Mr Lloyd with the onslaught of TBP remixes. My 2 cents. :)

  4. No, not the WHOLE thing, just a later version... I'm set back pretty far now though. All that badASS drum sequencing at the end is gone D':
    PM'd you Pete.
    I have no doubt that you will make [...] the deadline.
    Got your update and sent you some feedback. ;)

    I'm drafting an updated OP to streamline things and add a few details. Should be up soon.

    EDIT: OP updated. Only 5 tracks left to claim. :)

  5. This round was intense, packed with talented people and awesome tracks. The length of the listening party was a challenge of its own, but so worth it. ;)

    Whoever came up with the 'partybot-stream' combo deserves a medal. We couldn't have survived the onslaught of entries in a timely fashion without that. :nicework:

  6. I'm absolutely not familiar with the soundtrack, but I may claim something when I'll have less tracks to do. :)
    Sounds good. Let us know whenever. :)
    Ah, thank the gods... I was thinking it was on the 20th, and that's my first day of classes, preceded by 2 solid weeks of 12 hour drumline days.
    Yeah, I didn't wanted to go the 'mass PM reminder' route, but in light of this, I might. And best of luck with your intense schedule. ;)
    And also a newer version of my track went corrupt D: I even downloaded a hex editor to try to fix it; bottom two thirds of the file were missing :P Not much I can do about that
    Wait, do you mean you've lost the entire project file for your mix? :dstrbd:
  7. Heya! How are all you Remixing Heroes doing? Hope everyone is having a great summer so far. :)

    The first check-in deadline for 'Be Aggressive!' is just one month away, on August 31st 2012.

    I wanna thank everyone for helping this little project get one heck of a start.

    Keep having fun with your mix and we'll see y'all at the end of the month.

    ...and yes, we are still recruiting. ;)

  8. I played The Line because of his review.

    Yeah it's ****ing depressing.

    Ahah, I was playing this game a couple weeks ago, and it actually fried my GPU. Guess it was too depressing even for machines. ;P

    Hands down one of the best narrative to ever come out of a military shooter. The part involving white phosphorus is imprinted in my brain forever.

    Also, The Line features some truly gorgeous scenery/art-direction. Nice to play a cover-based shooter not relying solely on the dark-brown palette.

    Inversion on the other hand...
