    Speed Demos Archive is doing their annual speedrun marathon for the Organization for Autism Research. It's pretty sweet and it's for a good cause. Not to mention donors have a shot at winning some prizes as well as being able to influence aspects of the games being played, such as choosing what to rename the party members of FFVI. It's continuing on until Monday night. Check it out if you're interested.

    *Bump*

    I just randomly remembered this thread last night as I was downloading the new Battletoads mix. When this thread started and the 40th post remix request thing came up, I initially had something from Persona 4 or Battletoads as my most likely picks, but now that Battletoads is finally getting some overdue OCR love and I've recently started my very first Let's Play of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, I think my request would be one of that game's battle themes so that I might use it as background music when I have a montage of battlefield battles to show at double speed.

    Most frustrating/least satisfying games

    A few months back, I dug out my old top-loader NES and played Battletoads and after a few playthroughs, I can now beat the game legit from start to finish without using warps or continues. I still haven't, and probably never will, have a playthrough in which I never die once.

    However, a couple weeks ago, I downloaded an emulator and the Battletoads ROM with the hopes of recording my gameplay for youtube as an LP, but the ROM controls are a lot clunkier and sporaticly misinterprets my commands. I managed to make it to Clinger Winger (stage with the Hypno Orb chasing you) but I have to remap the controls from my USB NES controller to the keyboard to even make moderate progress in that level. So, I love Battletoads, but the ROM is frustrating.

    If you like the Trigun tv series, you should check out the Trigun Badlands Rumble movie. While I don't think it's actually tied to the story in any way, it is set in the manga version of the Trigun universe, the most obvious and non-spoilery clue to this is how Vash is dressed in his Trigun Maximum outfit. Despite how many years it has been since the original anime ended, they still managed to capture the feel of the series.

    I was holding off on the follow-up to my last post until the thread was closer to post #40, but... anyway, I've listened to the tracks a few more times and I'd say Excalibur and Lady in the Water are my two favorite tracks. They're all good in their own ways, and Liquid Metal is starting to grow on me. It's not a style I actively seek out in my music, but I can't deny the quality of the performances.

    I'm looking forward to hearing what you do next.

    If you haven't already done so, you should check out Redline. The best anime movie I've seen in recent memory. It took them about seven years to make because the whole film was drawn entirely by hand without the use of any CG. It's visually amazing and the cast and story are engaging.

    I downloaded it this morning and gave it a quick listen before I went to work. It was a nice, solid assortment of tracks with enough variety involved to keep the main source from getting stale. I'm going to have to give it another listen soon before deciding on a favorite, all the tracks had their merits, but Liquid Metal was my least favorite solely on a personal tastes with that vocal style basis. I loved the instrumental version at the end though.

    Thanks for putting this together, it was worth the download.

    OCRA-0033 - Mega Man X: Maverick Rising

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    So far, I've only finished the first disc, but I'm really enjoying the album so far. Not a single bad track to be heard as of yet. Tunnel Rhino is surprisingly catchy, I get the feeling the next time I play X3, that'll pop into my head during that stage. Tuck 'n Roll was pretty impressive. I also liked Sigma Opus and Vile Needs to Galvanize, but really, they're all good so far.

    Onto Disc Two!

    Edit: Disc two was also really good. So far this has been a rock solid album. I've never heard the source before, but Primulaceae Rosa was a very nice track. Dusty Dune Devil, Stay Frosty, Duality, and Shadowclimber are among other tracks that stood out to me on my first listen.

    I just posted a link to the OCR Sigma page on the 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3's page on Facebook a few minutes ago. They are the largest collected group of Mega Man fans I can think of, aside from maybe posting on Capcom's wall as well. I wasn't the only person to post there, which is good, since it improves the chances more people will see the link. Hopefully that helps.

    Exactly. Where are we gonna find almost 3,000 people?

    The 100,000 Strong for Megaman Legends 3 Facebook page? Not that they have 100,000 people, but this does seem like the sort of thing they would want to support.

    Either way, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of this album. Whenever that may be.

    Battletoads Arrangement?

    in ReMix Requests

    Posted

    I realize it hasn't been that long since I last posted a request but in this case, I figured it would be best to bring it up while it's still on my mind. I dug out my old NES yesterday so I could play some classic games that aren't available for download on the Wii, namely Battletoads, and as I played it, I found myself remembering how catchy the soundtrack is, and I checked OCR for any arrangements that might have been done, but I did not find any.

    Possible tracks include (but not limited to) :

    Thank you for taking the time to read this/follow the links.

    Persona 4 - The Almighty (or other tracks)

    in ReMix Requests

    Posted

    After months of mulling over it and having it be suggested to me multiple times, I finally decided to make an offical request for a remix of the music of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4. I put The Almighty in the thread title since it is the best battle theme in the game (imo), but I hope that other tracks from the soundtrack are also considered.

    Other tracks that might be of interest:

    Fog (also known as Mist)

    Long Way

    Secret Base

    There are plenty of other pieces to choose from as well if anyone is interested. Thank you very much.

    OCRA-0032 - Unsung Heroes

    This turned out to be a pretty great album. Thank you very much everyone involved for making this possible. It's hard to pick out favorites so far, the album has been pretty consistent in terms of quality. Vampire Hunter Dan's String Quartet piece was impressive, and the vocal performances were all top-notch. Persona 3 is the only game represented in this album I've actually played, and its arrangement was interesting and not quite what I was expecting after hearing the 13 tracks before it. I hope this leads to more Persona (or any of these games really) arrangements on OCR. Good job, everyone!
