You know, even if it's not for an album project, you could always just do Super Shredder's theme anyway...

Armcannon sucks. I'm looking forward to the SMK album. Granted I spent more time with *coughmariokart64cough* (I'm not even gonna approach the Rainbow Road discussion), but I'm excited all the same.

Jose vs. zyko? A thousand times yes.

For my NES games, Zelda and both StarTropics games still work. My copy of WarioWare Inc's battery, however, died out long ago. Someday I'll get around to figuring out how to replace it. I have a question: why is it that battery pack NES carts ask me to hold reset as I power off the console? Can I do any real harm to a game if I just power it off without pressing reset first?

That design looks more like Shellcracker, the crab with one giant extending claw that was in Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2. Not that it matters, but the point is that ZOMG CLASSIC BADNIKS NEEDLEMOUSE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE AMAZING MAYBE!

Street Fighter: Ryu vs. Sagat. Because the world NEEDS one more Bad Dudes Sagat remix.

Back cover. Inlay. The friggin' disc art. If Dave says there should be volleyball-obscured titties on the album, then goddammit, there'll be volleyball-obscured titties!

...That album cover. I see what you did there. Nice.

I looked through some of your gallery. I'm....interested... Hey! Glad to hear you enjoyed the preview track. I've heard a bunch of people tell me that they weren't interested until they heard the source, it's a real shame that the SDB soundtrack isn't as celebrated as RCR or other great NES OSTs. We're very close to getting the music side of things wrapped up, actually.

Well, it's better than another testicle reference, anyway...

Oo-oo-oo, grab bags! I want some random grab bag goodness, please!

Normally, I'd disagree with everything you say, but seeing as how Slash Man was the bane of my weekend, I will go ahead with this because I don't want to be stuck in place with red goo balls and raped to hell and back.

1/5/10: Happy New Year, everybody! Some big announcements to make: Rexy is finished, chrono26 is finished, and everybody else is moving closer to completion (Protricity, and Monobrow even updated me in person at MAGFest! *squee*) But this is the biggest Around the World announcement to date: one of my favorite rappers in the nerdcore scene is joining the album! It's none other than Random aka Mega Ran, who released his Mega Ran and Mega Ran 9 albums to much acclaim in the game music and hip-hop communities. He'll be providing lyrics over DCT and LuIza's Team Kenya mix, and I've gotta say that I'm more than excited by this news. 2010 will be the year for Around the World!

That's right, it's Random, the same person who released the acclaimed Mega Ran and Mega Ran 9 albums will be appearing on Around the World. I excitedly spilled the beans to a couple people at MAGFest, but we're making the official announcement now. Closer and closer we move towards completion!

Of course you can have the extra time. Just make sure you get it done soon, k?

Ah, that's what I get from hearing it from somebody else. Count that as my bad, sir. Same with Rexy, I'm sure I heard her name at the OCR panel, but I didn't actually meet her myself. Hey, if Kyle's okay with it, then I am. Hell, even if he's not okay with it, I'll make him be, haha.

Awesome moments (in no particular awesome order): 1) Losing my hearing for nearly a day after Metroid Metal's set. So much energy in the music. 2) Singing along to every word of The Megas. (And screaming "MEGAMAN!" during Man on Fire). 3) Setting the high score on Popeye, and watching it stay there the rest of the weekend. 4) OverCoat. The man glomped me when he first met me, and then we played Colecovision the next morning during my console room shift with semi-busted controllers. 5) Monobrow giving me a hug and encouraging words about Around the World. 6) The OCR room party after the Smash Bros. set with Ari and Mono's kitty! (I still think they should name the cat "WOOOOOARGH!") 7) Meeting Garian, Larry, Adhesive_Boy, Skill, Joe Cam, and everybody else, forum name or real name, who escapes me right now. Beating that asshole Tomahawk Man to clear the Mega Man 6 buster-only challenge and get my Normal challenge patch. 9) Watching brentalfloss go from zero to drunk over the course of one panel and fling high-speed peanut M&Ms at people's heads. 10) Episode 45 of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged and episode 1 of MasakoX's new Kampfer Abridged. Funny efforts, as always. 11) Mash's disgusting yet hilarious mosh pit story while I was eating rice and eggs. 12) Digging through the treasure chests, and trading a Genesis copy of Battletoads & Double Dragon for a Zelda t-shirt with a lame sexual innuendo on it. 13) Larry freaking out in the elevator in reaction to my best friend's Freddy Krueger costume. 14) Speaking of costumes: Metal Man and Sharp Dressed Pyramid Head. 15) The hot shower I took a break from typing this post to make. God, I feel human again! Non-Awesome Moments: 1) Thinking that taking nothing but 6am volunteer shifts was a good idea. The hardest job I had this morning in the console room was keeping awake. 2) Thinking that running in a circle during This Place Is Haunted's version of Punch-Out was a good idea. Some damn mosher punched me in the leg. 3) Struggling a bit with my own shyness. If you saw me and I didn't say hi or talk and just stood there, please don't be offended. 4) Waking up in my hotel room freezing with nothing but a light fleece blanket. 5) Losing my brother's digital camera. He's not mad about it, but he wants me to buy him another one. Also, if anyone's reading this and they found an HP Photosmart with a blue wrist strap, let me know. 6) MAGFest Challenge nightmares that will be brought on by both Slash Man and that damn Final Fight wheelchair guy with a crossbow. Fuck the both of them. 7) Coming back to western Pennsylvania to find 5 inches of snow and unplowed roads. Goddamn 4channers scribbling their damn /b/ memes all over that Jr. Pac Man cabinet. 9) Missing out on the early Mega Man film cut and the There Will Be Brawl finale. 10) The break room running out of Bawls after the first day. I'm too tired to keep going with this, but the tl;dr version is that I had the time of my life at my first MAGFest, and M8 was easily the best con experience I've ever had. Thanks to everyone who put MAG together, and thanks to the awesome OCR community for making me feel like I belong.

I take this back. Willrock, Protricity, and Rexy were all at MAG, too. Thanks for the project advice and encouragement, Ari and Mono! And thanks to everyone else who would listen to me excitedly talk about AtW at MAGFest.

I'm treating my MAGFlu with a prescription of The OneUps album download cards given to me by friendly Dr. Mustin, followed up with a chaser of The Megas and This Place Is Haunted. I should make a full recovery (and a long-winded post/mini-novel about my first MAGFest experience) very soon.

Just me, and it's not like I make music or anything...

12/28/09: Another quick update on the album, the talented LuIzA has joined up to provide guitar work for the Team Kenya track! I've heard the most recent WIP, and it's getting better and better. Speaking of, a little angel that used to be a dodge ball player told me that another big name might be jumping on that track, as well.....

Kyle wanted the date to be New Year's Eve, but I'll be at MAGfest this year, so I asked to have it moved back until after the event. I think most of the remixers wouldn't have a problem with it, but as always, let Kyle or myself know if it's not gonna fly.

Olive Garden? You imply that my town's big enough to have an Olive Garden. This is false.

Sup, guys?
