  1. I can't help but notice there's no Shape Memory Alloys, so I can not endorse this album.
  2. I went to a school where if something was 2 seconds late and the file name didn't have the proper capitalization, you failed. No questions asked. A big reason that I'm not in Vegas with my girlfriend is because I work at a job where someone is paying $10,000 for this project to be done Tuesday morning so they can present it at a meeting with a huge company, and they don't care if I do 30 hours over a weekend (granted, a 3 day weekend) to finish it. It needs to get done. I understand the importance of a deadline. There's a stark difference between that, and what we have here. What we have here is something a bunch of people volunteered into, to challenge their own skills, and for recreation. No one here is getting paid, and no one here paid to be a part of this. The people who procrastinated and didn't get a song done, and are using this extension to do just that because they didn't earlier, well they're only cheating themselves. The people who worked hard and got their mixes in before the deadline, congratulations. But that's it. That's all you get is a firm pat on the back and self-affirmation. There's no voting. There's no glory. It's the satisfaction of a job well done, and on that, I congratulate all of you. The fact of the matter is this: This challenge is about the listeners just as much as it is the mixer. Had the competition ended Saturday, as scheduled, a lot of people working on a song, or planning on working on a song, but hadn't started yet, would quit. Most would either submit a half-completed work, and never touch it again, or never start at all. The result is (and I'm just pulling these figures out of my ass, not based one what's submitted already) a handful of WIPs, and MAYBE 1 clean, polished song. That's not exactly fair to all the people who submitted songs, hoping to hear something come out of it. This extension means those people who requested songs still have a chance that something will come of it. Again, I understand the importance of a hard deadline, and the people procrastinating and taking advantage are only cheating themselves, but this decisions is for the greater good.
  3. No one says you have to stop working on it when the deadline hits =P YOU of all people should know that! lol
  4. ugh fine 2 weeks, but this is it people. Seriously. Most of had a lot of this week to work on it anyway. > Everyone's had a MONTH, and some people will have a month and 2 weeks now. So I'm expecting some really good results this year, guys. Don't let me down.
  5. HO-LEE crap. And there's still a fricken month to go. GRATSSSSS.
  6. Ok ok ok ok ok ok. DUE THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS AND INTERESTED PARTIES BEING IN LAS VEGAS THIS WEEKEND the has been extended by 2 weeks. Your mixes now do by SATURDAY, AUGUST 21st. The listening party is tentatively scheduled for the 22nd. If you haven't gotten around to your song yet, NOW IS THE TIME. Do not wait another week before you get started. The deadline WILL NOT be extended a 2nd time.
  7. Which also means they released their cover of Creep by Radio Head! Final stretch man! Almost there, but still need like $700. Also: Follow on Facebook for more awesome music updates
  8. Not currently. Vegas is kind of flubbin' that up. We'll have to wai for everyone to get back to schedule that.. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE MORE THAN 4 SONGS FOR IT, GUYS. FINAL COUNT DOWN. GET ON IT.
  9. These are 2 of the worst ideas I have EVER. HEARD.
  10. What happens in Vegas better not happen at all because if it does and I find out I will fucking KILL SOMEONE. ...except Ashley.
  11. I go to sleep, and this thing has $600 in it. I wake up and you're nearly half way done? HOLY crap. I need a great idea so I can start a kick starter ;o
  12. I would say usually half the people don't finish, and a 1/5th of people do REALLY good mixes. It takes a good amount of discipline to be given a song you're not necessarily familiar with and make a mix in a month, but that is why it's a challenge =P
  13. Gario has to finish BEFORE VEGAS. DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW. Also: OA too, because his song is awesome, even if he's not going to Vegas, I want to hear that ASAP >
  14. Damn....the drawing of the Ferrari from Rad Racer I was working on was NOT going to top that at all. I feel embarassed for even starting >_> lol GREAT job by metalsnakejuice,
  15. ? You can do whatever you want with your track. It is yours, after all. We just need them all in the compo system so we have a single place to get them, every is sure they have reliable hosting, and we can easily do the listening party at the end.
  16. http://earemix.thasauce.net/ Needs to be fixed up a bit, though. Obviously not EXACTLY the same. Edit: Fixed up a bit. Note to self: Fix the EA ReMix theme for stylish
  17. Why do you have to manually upload an RSS feed?
  18. Guys. GUYS. Mega Man. I'm out. Also: On the subject of Singularity, I heard of someone that used to work at Ravensoft years and years ago. He spoke of a game that under went change after change after change. From first person, to over the shoulder to mimic Gears (which required the level design to be rethought since the camera angle changed), then added elements to mimic Bioshock because that became "the thing", and then around the Portal age they thought of a "time gun." Which apparently caused a lot of grief among the developers. I feel like....this was forever ago. I'm surprised this game actually made it, I'm even more surprised of the elements all making it in the final product, lol
  19. It's probably just an RSS Feed. Go to Add Stuff, on the left column you'll see "Add feed or gadget" with a litle RSS icon. And use one of these (shouldn't matter which): 10 Latest ReMixes (RSS 0.91) - http://www.ocremix.org/feeds/ten091/ 10 Latest ReMixes (RSS2.0) - http://www.ocremix.org/feeds/ten20/ There's also plenty of other RSS readers like Google Reader or Netvibes.
  20. Wait less than a w-...well shit overdrive.

  22. Basically 30 more years of butt-hurt starting right now
