  1. Ok, got it. In that case, I agree. I've had bad wording plenty of times (occasionally in replies to your posts), no biggie.
  2. Maybe it's just me, but this statement seems somewhat hostile. I'm sure a lot of successful artists actually do know what failure is like. Aside from that, at what point is an artist considered to be successful? I'm also curious what qualifies as real failure. I agree you should also seek advice from artists who have experienced failure, but the way you're wording it seems harsh.
  3. Happy birthday! Have a good one! By the way, I liked your remix on For Everlasting Peace.

  4. OCR Talkback #7 brought me to this mix! Anyway, on to the remix. This is an awesome arrangement of Marble Zone, great work! I'm really feeling right when the bass comes in at 0:31, the rest builds from there. The second section of the source is sounding great in this mix. The bass really shines between 2:31 and 3:00. Overall, incredible remix!
  5. Hey MindWanderer, nice to see Remixing with the Stars start up again! I'm going to sit this one out, I want to focus on Brandon's Final Fantasy competition. Have fun everyone!
  6. I thought we only pick three, the instructions say to list top 3. Also, as NovaReaper pointed out, 24 will end up with an odd number.
  7. If on one ever buys music, how do people continue making money from music? I think the amount of "piracy" is overblown. Most people are willing to pay a fair price for music they enjoy, and are also happy to support those musicians.
  8. I used to be the same way, only listening to remixes from my favorite games. Now I listen to every remix posted on the site, even if I have no attachment to the game. I'm glad I started branching out, it's been rewarding. On a related note, OCR has also exposed me to genres that I wouldn't have listened to otherwise. I gained my appreciation for metal from OCR, which is funny considering OCR gets accused of having all techno. Another example is hip-hop and rap. Before OCR, I didn't at all care for those genres. Nothing like great remixes of VGM to change your thoughts about music! To sum up, OCR has given me a greater appreciation for unfamiliar sources, and a wider variety of genres.
  9. Happy birthday Rozo! Enjoy your day! *patiently waits for The Coop to post nice birthday*
  10. Thank you sir! Given our experience level, I think we did alright for ourselves!
  11. I was actually at PaxEast 2013, and I saw the OCR panel and OCU. The people I was with really wanted to look for more retro games, so I didn't have time to say hi. I'm going again next year, so this time I'll make sure to say hi, if you're there. And also say hi to the other OCR peeps! By the way, yes, great idea for a thread!
  12. Hi! I just found out about your YouTube channel. I just wanted to drop you a line to say I'm really enjoying your videos! They're so much fun, and you have a great, powerful voice! Keep doing what you do! :)

  13. I'm not entirely sure on the years, but sometime between 2006 and 2008 I had listened to a bunch of OCR remixes that my brother had collected. I remember looking up OCR and checking out some remixes from my favorite games. I also remember lurking in the workshop forum to find remixes of my favorite songs, and reading the feedback. I continued my lurking on and off for a couple (give or a take a year or two) years until about the time Serious Monkey Business was released. That was the first album I remember seeing on the front page. From that point on, I checked OCR daily. I didn't join the forums though until I decided to start remixing as a hobby, in September of 2011. My main reason I wanted to start remixing is to give tribute to my favorite VGM. OCR seemed like the best place to do that, I haven't regretted that decision. Since then, I've done a bunch of competitions, and stirred up some controversy in the PPR forum. I'm seeing a bunch of familiar and new faces in this thread, it's interesting to hear all these different stories of how people found OCR. @Amy, thanks for sharing your story! That's an awesome scenario, running into DJ Preztel (or should I say Singing Pretzel?) at a karaoke night! I'm glad events led you to OCR, I've really enjoyed your remixes. I hope to meet you in person at a con someday! I just discovered your really cool YouTube page, glad you posted here! Now I have another YouTube person to follow!
  14. Speaking as someone who is not religious in any sense of the word, as long as the song is well done, the lyrics don't matter to me in the slightest. Whether the lyrics are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, or any other religion past or present, a good song is a good song. That being said, the only exception would be if the lyrics include blatantly offensive attacks on a particular group or groups of people.
  15. Damn! Missed it live! At least I can still see it!
  16. I watch Game Grumps, some people didn't like that JonTron left the show, but I still like it. Another big one is the , I'm surprised no one mentioned him yet. He also does other things on his main site, Cinemassacre.com.I also watch Zero Punctuation, some guy named Yahtzee does crazy game reviews. He doesn't like many games.
  17. Hey dude, happy birthday!

  18. Thanks for the birthday wishes Kristina! My day was nice and relaxing.

  19. Cash

    Thanks for the birthday wishes!

  20. Happy birthdays! Very talented remixers, and probably cool people.
  21. Cool, you're the only one I've seen on this site who lives in NH besides myself. Maybe there's more though.

  22. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, where do you live in NH? I also live in NH (Amherst).
