And well! ThaSauce.net just had a HUGE update that I've been meaning to make a post about once I clean it up a bit more, and ReMix:ThaSauce is next on the list for a full recode. One thing that's very important to mention though is that R:TS is NOT "dead" because I'm not paying attention to it, or approving new remixes, R:TS isn't moving BECAUSE NO ONE IS SUBMITTING ANYTHING. The queue is EMPTY right now. Maybe there's fall through, I don't know, but if no one follows up on that I don't know either The music is out there, I'M just not getting it. I do what I can to go out of MY WAY and email people in the WIP boards, and sometimes the judges decisions boards (though it gets hard when you don't have a link to the actual mix. I can usually get a good idea whether R:TS'll take it based on the judge's decisions though.) I know some other people like Rozo on the WIP boards make sure to point people to R:TS when they feel it's appropriate, but it's just not enough. The site is only as active as it's users. Songs aren't going to magically appear on their own if no one submits. And no one will ever consider it viability until it gets some REAL actual content. Sure the design could use a little work, and I'm working on it, but it still needs content. There is absolutely NO REASON to NOT submit your music to R:TS. The more people that can hear your music the better.

Razor from Maniac Mansion, duhhhhhh

I'm going to tell you right now, ZealitY was a huge trouble maker and a gigantic troll around OCReMix. Sure he was passionate about Chrono Trigger, but a lot of people have a lot of distaste for him in for a LOT of reasons. Not simply because he was some crazed Chrono Trigger fanboys. Anyway moving on... Show me a 100% complete run-through of the game. Not random splices of the parts that they got done, or hastily try to get done now too make it look like it was a comprehensive game. I mean 100% full on plot and encounters and dialog intact telling a straight forward linear story with minimal video editting. Shouldn't have been hard, right? Especially since it was practically done. I mean, if they were honestly going to DESTROY ALL THE WORK FROM THE PROJECT ZOMG why wouldn't they do this first anyway if they thought it'd be OK?

Y SANK Q GAIZ, IT IZ (WUZ) MY BURFDAY ISNT(WUZNT) IT?! Also: Went to Disney today, got chased down my a trash can so that it could sing me happy birthday...no seriously.

YES! ...to ReMix:ThaSauce This was pretty much the cutest shit ever when I played this game.

The lead seems a bit week at times (really airy, which is what you're going for, but the judges might not like it so much), it seems to me sometimes that the drums kind of over-power everything else (though honestly I'm using pretty jacked headphones) so you might want to check your volume levels. Lastly it might be a BIT too repetitive, I think that can go either way. That said, being unfamiliar with the source, I think this is a pretty good contender for OCReMix. You create a pretty full soundscape and aside from the tweaks I mentioned above I think you're pretty solid.

Right now it's looking summer long-ish. Mixing stage starting around the end of May/beginning of June, and concluding around mid-August. So 2 1/2 monthes.

Just want to warn everyone, I'm not taking any sign-ups until the new rules and procedures are finalized. This year is going to stay true to the CHALLENGE. I want people to finish, sure, but we can't lose sight of the actual idea here.

The History: Way back in 2002 a forum user name "I Like Cookies!" (now just Jeff), ran a 1-shot competition called the Freshly Baked ReMixer challenge. In the thread artists signed up and were assigned challenges posted by other forum users. This is how artists like myself, Suzumebachi, and GLL all got our starts. There were also some other impressive tracks by Disco Dan and a few others. Some time later the same user did the Second Annual FBRC which, while not as popular as the first one, still saw some solid success. Since the competition has long been forgotten by most, and seeing all the talent that's on OCReMix today, I think it's time we try a revival. The Premise: As stated above the idea of the competition is for forum users to challenge remixers to remixes of songs/games they request. The remixer than has a predetermined amount of time to produce a remix of said material. The Plan: Previously everyone just winged it, and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I've been tossing around in my head a new system that should make the situation better for everyone... Mixers: Phase 1 will be mixer sign-up. It will last until next Saturday, and ANYONE wishing to enter may. Be it an established artist or not. Any and all are welcome, and encouraged to enter. The Challenges: Following Phase 1, there will be a 1 week period where any forum user can submit challenges. Be it from a game, or a specific song. Challengers MUST include a source tune for reference and ALL CHALLENGERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO NOT PICK SONGS THAT'RE TOO OBSCURE . This is merely a suggestion as the easier it is for a remixer to get a midi, or familiarity with a song, the more likely the finished project will be a quality piece of work. During Phase 2 each user is only allowed 1 challenge. ReMixers already in the challenge are allowed to issue challenges themselves. I reserve the right to reject certain requests. PLEASE NOTE: To ensure that this year people don't see ANOTHER song that COULD HAVE BEEN challenged, this year all challenges will be made PRIVATELY. More details when Phase 2 goes live. The Match-Ups: Once we populate a list of mixers and challenges, a script be created and will distribute the songs to each mixer. There will a few days grace period while we sort everything out, and following that mixers will have 2 months to finish their challenge. In the event that there are more challenges than mixers (which is likely) if a mixer successfully finishes their challenge (COMPLETED a QUALITY remix) then they are free to once again randomly select another song from the pool. The only stipulation is remixers CAN NOT be selected to remix a song THEY requested as a challenge. PLEASE NOTE: This challenge is meant to be just that. A CHALLENGE. Last year there were a LOT of people trying to switch the song that they got because they didn't like it. I realize personal preference plays a big part of the creative process, and I do truly believe that you should make music for yourself before anything else, this is a CHALLENGE. By entering this competition you are signing up for, and agree to be challenged. This will include working under strict time constraints and may also mean having to mix something you don't necessarily like. If you choose to not accept your challenge, then you fail the challenge, and I will not be babying every person who wants to swap their challenge. We WILL have some wiggle room, but not nearly as much as we had last year. Winning: There will be NO voting. This contest is specifically for remixers to test their abilities as a mixer, and to give users a chance to get their favorite under-remixed song finally mixed. Everyone who completes a quality product is a winner, and every listener wins as well. Current Status: Phase 1 (Mixer Sign-Up, NO REQUESTS): Sunday, May 31st - Saturday, June 6th, 23:59PM EST Phase 2 (Song requests: Sunday June 7th - Saturday, June 13th, 23:59 EST 1 Week Break to send out / confirm mixers and challenges Phase 3 (Mixing stage):Sunday June 21st - Saturday, August 22nd, 23:59 EST Phase III: Mixing The mixing matches for stage 3 can be found here. At this time artists are UNABLE to re-roll their mixes other than otherwise stated here. You have until August 22nd to complete a polished piece of work. If you finish early and want another mix details are here and here. When your mix is complete it will need to be uploaded to Compo:ThaSauce. This WILL require you to have an account on ThaSauce, and will AUTOMATICALLY LOCK once the mixing stage is over. You are free to post WIPs of your mixes in this thread, but please do not upload anything but your FINAL WORK to the Compo page. PLEASE NOTE: Mixer sign-ups AND song requests WILL BOTH BE HANDLED IN THIS THREAD.

So who's Mr. Tron then?

All loot in Disciples will now be determined by /peggleloot Edit: Actually now would probably be a pretty good time to bring this thread up to speed since the first post is lacking, and we've made a lot of changes. Disciples of the Mix boasts an impressive three extremely active members of the VGM community, with a few more that're a little less active, a few more that are totally INACTIVE, and at least 1 who's KIND of active, but I wish was WAY MORE active ;-;. (On top of that we have a LOT of other active members who are either IRL friends or skilled, guildless players we've met along the way.) It started off with me behind that helm, but I handed if off to starla to pursue SERIOUS ENDGAME CONTENT. Once my guild decided that were too whiny to handle Illidan they transferred off and have enjoyed some success on their new home. After which I moved to the best guild ever which was comprised primarily with my IRL friends. starla, however, didn't take long to say "EFF THAT" and swallow up my guild whole. Since the vast majority of my friends aren't bad at the game, and starla and Vilecat are pretty good at gearing themselves, we were ready to do some CRAZY MAD 10MAN ACTION. We've recently pretty much had our runs with 10-mans, and after a few mediocre attempts at Ulduar, we've decided to upgrade and shift focus to Naxx 25. starla continues to NOM NOM NOM up small guilds of players with potential, and while we still serve as missions on Azeroth spreading the good name of The Mix, a lot of people are still just concerned with [purpz]. Now a days we're running 2 seperate 10 man groups, a 25 man Naxx group, and within the next 3 weeks hope to be doing more attempts in Ulduar with some fresh new strats and slick new gear. THAT SAID it's there's never been a more exciting time to join Disciples! Illidan is a bustling, horde dominated, active, server full of top players and Disciples is a laid back, well establish, casual raiding guild for friends, mixers, lovers, AND candy. Transfer, re-roll, or eBay to Illidan today! ...but only if you're a Boomkin -_____________-

Ulduar crud. Also: something with the glyph of overpower or smth.

Most of the more active members are experienced, and a good amount of people in the guild are alts or transfers. So in short, of course you are! Everyone is welcome. Some of us do a lot of srs bizness raiding and stuff as a guild, but there are a lot of people in the guild that're just casuals too =P

Flame Leviathan = <3333 Hopefully we can get at least the next 3 down tonight PS: Now recruiting Balance druids, Shamans of all flavors, warlocks...basically wtb caster DPS class OH and (quite ironically) DPS DKs. Not nearly enough of those (seriously)

Wait...what? Arthas isn't even a small part of the lore. Shit 3.1 is all about Yogg-Saron, and the old Gods, and the Titans. Malygos is about the Dragon Aspects, which in turn has to do with the Titans. ALL of the Storm Peaks is Titan involved. A good chunk of Borean Tundra, Icecrown, and Dragonblight deals directly with Dragonflights. There's some development on the Infinite/Bronze Dragonflight storyline, as well as the Argent Dawn/Scarlet Crusade stuff. The Deathwing storyline is being continued from the Netherwing Ledge stuff, and the Grim Batol stuff....there's just ore all over the place that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Arthas. Are their even any Scourge IN Storm Peaks? And pretty much as far as I'm concerned it's all going to lead back to the Legion again, because with Varimithas, Balnazaar, and Mal'Ganis up to the same crud as always, it's almost inevitable that Sargeras and Kil'jaedan are trying to take Arthas down, too. Also: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#bZcxtcc0qmZGxfVofzscq0z Pretty much the best dual spec ever.

In WarCraft 1 you kill Medivh who at the time is possessed by Sargeras. Which is how/why he came in contact with Gul'dan and brought the orcs to Azeroth from Dreanor. 'Cause Kil'jaedan was over on that end messing stuff up over there.

Yea, this actually goes right in with the latest WarCraft comics, too. Whihc is really cool because I just started reading them last week. Basically Varian is gettin' played hardcore, and Garrosh too...I suspect it'll all come to frutition in some kind of Legion raid AFTER Icecrown.

A little bit of modification goes a long way. I did this by trying to get the most out of what I already had. I moved the start menu, hid my desktop icons. I'm using AveDesk for the fancy icon display, but I'm using default windows icons (I actually looked for similar icons for network drives and portable drives too...but couldn't find any). Samurize does my MP3 script on the bottom through WMP on the top. Rainlendar is still <3 as ever, and that's about it. I use a Dock that's hidden because I'm so used to my Mac now. Same with with a Windows Exposé thingy, butttt yet. This is the cleanest deskmodding I've done in awhile.

Man....your server sucks I've PUG'd everything short of Sarth 3D

That is EXACTLY how I feel. That's why I've found a clever work around: Facebook. Through this simple formula almost everything I do can be carefully collected into 1 feed for my entire life! Text/Picture Message -> Ping.FM -> MySpace, VOX, Twitter Twitter -> Facebook Games -> Raptr -> Twitter -> Facebook YouTube -> Facebook Netvibes -> Facebook Vimeo -> Twitterfeed -> Twitter -> Facebook Everything else I can just normal facebook share I guess you can say I'm kind of embedded into the internet now a days D: Also: http://twitter.com/sgtrama http://twitter.com/thasauce
