I don't see zach72 online, but he PM'd us an apology that he couldn't get a mix together. So it's fair to consider us MIA for this round. So that should account for everyone. Anyone who wants to offer Zach some feedback on a Mega Man mix should check out his submission in the Exhibition Thread where the GRMRB lives on. So, basically...not a great week for Energy Tank. Or so it would appear. Just when the competition thinks we're down and out, we refuel (thanks again, Mr. L) and lay down the hurt. Watch out!

Sorry for the double post, guys, but I have an important announcement. Unfortunately, one of our teammates is having communication issues. In his last PM, Elipzo mentioned he was having trouble with his PC, but didn't elaborate. That was Oct 24. If you're reading this, man, I hope everything works out. In terms of the competition, though, we need to know what's going on and who's mixing and all that, so communication is key. Mr. L has graciously agreed to fill that void on VERY SHORT notice, and he has requested to guide Frost Man through the gauntlet.

I recommend leaving your mp3 untagged. Following the format for the title minimizes the editing, but Darke will take care of the rest.

Voting rules haven't been posted yet, but in the past, one of the criteria has been how well the mix arranges both source tunes. In preparation, I present your lazy man's compendium of source tunage for week 1. Bad Guy Robots from Mega Man - Brandon Strader - Block Rockman Beats - halc - Blue Bomber Brotherhood - Sir_NutS - Cold Steel - Main Finger - Dr. Light's Luminosity Legion - Lidawg - Energy Tank - zach72 - Fire Man The Beat Busters - AMT - The Concrete Men - Jason Covenant - The Gentlemaster's Club - Zerothemaster - Search Man The Hard Men - chthonic - The Mega Ballers - SuperiorX - The Skull Men - LuketheXjesse - and, of course, My ears eagerly await Saturday's goodies.

Nice birthday!

That reminds me: I've always assumed the McRib has the same ingredients as a hot dog. I've tried it a couple times. Meh. Although, now that I know it's an actual pork product, I may try again.

I'll warm the bench until week 3. Last I heard, my teammates were discussing who would be stepping up first, and I wait with the rest of the world to discover the results.

Is it time yet? My body is ready.

Unnecessary posts are unnecessary. Edit: Sorry....that probably goes without saying.

Are you suggesting that tracks that aren't good will be remixed? Or that only good tracks can provide good remixes? Or that our remixers outnumber the good tracks offered by the Game Boy library? Who is this n00b and why is he in control of quality?

Not in their entirety, put the ending from Zelda: A Link to the Past and the prologue to Final Fantasy IV have a phrase so similar that I'd find myself humming one and unconsciously go into the other all the time when I was younger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znwWpEchguI&t=15s

I think we're going to keep it simple. Our team is Energy Tank Also, I totally botched Elipzo's name when I posted our team. Finally, let me join the voices heaping praise on those sigs, Rexy. Thems lookin' good.

I haven't had a full playthrough of the second quest in a very long time, but I remember being slightly disappointed that the third quest was no different than the second. And the second really starts to get tough around level 4. That one is massive, with at least one spot, if I remember correctly, that you can easily trap yourself in. Good times. I might actually do that this week. [Alternate method for unlocking 2nd quest: beat the 1st one.] EDIT: Your secret's out, Mirby. Now we all know you're a ninja.

elpizo, zach72, and myself are [team name pending]

I have gotten PMs from both Geeky Stoner and TheGuitahHeroe. They're both pretty busy right now and aren't available.

I'll throw my name into the pot. Teammates pending. 1. Spark Man 2. Wind Man 3. Bright Man 4. Cut Man 5. Quick Man

Trying to kick us all out before we even show up, eh? P.S. I am excited. There's some serious firepower in that group, and I'm really intrigued to see how your three distinct styles come together.

I'm very much interested in this but would be pretty much out of commission most of December. After the first round of mixing, are you going straight to the second, or will there be a full period of voting in between? (And I'm assuming the rounds are one week, yes?) Basically, I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible for me to contribute enough without leaving a team hanging at the end, or if I'm just going to have to enjoy the awesome music from the sidelines this time around.

JHBirthday is a 24-hour, annual parturition celebration where entrants create original congratulations based on the theme given. This IRL-based compo is held every September 27th, and was created as an opportunity for well-wishers to hang out and hone their craft. JHBirthday is all-gear, so you can make your felicitations with whatever software or hardware you want. All the action happens at the internet including the birthday party, which is automated at www.google.com. Happy cakeday, JH!

It was nice to see this open without invites just as Facebook introduced another unwelcome reformatting. http://gplus.to/Xarnax42

Don't stop the party yet! By my clock, you've still got almost 4 hours of birthday left. Happy +1 to the lot of ya.

You may want to wait a minute before you put that link up. The EP release will be more fun if no one's heard the music yet. In that vein, I haven't listened yet, so I can't offer feedback yet.

Behold, the power of social media. This has been a fantastic response by OCR followers. Of course, some of the other top entrants could easily have a similar push, so keep spreading the word!
