  1. Added you. Mine should be on the first page on the long list of names. (Noticed a 7 is missing at the end though...) No idea what my safari type is. I hope it's ghost but I literally have no idea. I'll try to add more people but I have no idea who else has added me so far. There is no "____ has sent a friend request" feature so it is a bit of wonky system. Do both parties need to be on-line for it to register through? Beats me. Is there any notable 3DS games going to be coming out soon that I should check out? My 3DS library needs to be a bit more bulkier. After Zelda: ALBW it seems like there isn't anything worthwhile to get. I'm not even sure what else is going to be released before Christmas rolls around.
  2. Thanks to your "Friend Zone" I was finally able to acquire my first shiny, a female Mawhile who I named Queterra for some reason. (I was half awake when this happened.) A part of me is thinking that shiny Pokemon is more abundant in the Friend Safari but since I've only captured one so far, it may be just pure luck. By the way, Mawhile is absolutely adorable in Amie.
  3. I managed to get Ponyta's through the friend safari. Now I feel obligated to catch a bunch and hand them out like I'm Oprah Winfry.
  4. It definitely caught me by surprise last week. I wasn't expecting that at all and couldn't help but smile. The reinterpretation of the Pokemon Center theme sounds like a soft lullaby that you can fall asleep to. I had to spend a great deal of time just listening to it. After my many play-throughs of playing Pokemon, today I somehow have gotten a Pokemon with Pokerus. With super training, it's kind of silly to have it now. Still haven't found a shiny though. Also, I wish I could get a Misdreavus but they aren't in the games. Not even in the Friend Safari.
  5. Viewing any activity as "a waste of time" is entirely a personal opinion. One person could view video games as a waste of time while another could view building model cars in your basement as a waste of time. Doing something that you enjoy is not a waste of time. Here is something about why we do what we do when we play video games: It's very insightful. For me, I always felt that watching any sporting event, a football game, a baseball game, etc. as a complete waste of time as you get absolutely nothing for watching it. At least with video games you can actually apply some sort of application in your job to get things done but with sports all you get is mindless and dull "entertainment". Since it's such a sacred activity and imbedded in our culture, there's a pretty good chance I get a lot of shit for it so the less I say, the less likely I'll find myself arguing with someone. An example of gaming actually benefiting you, speed-running a game makes you analyze aspects of the game that you can avoid in order to complete it. You can do the same thing with your job by removing activities that will hinder your overall goal. I work in a giant cooler and actually find myself timing myself breaking down pallets and figure out how I can do it in a more timely matter. Don't knock on video games if it makes you do that. Speaking of model cars, I actually been to a modal car convention. The cars that people have made are really impressive and I admire the amount of work that was put into them. (Though it was a big ol' sausage fest. The women that were there looked like they wanted to jump out the nearest window.) I don't think it's a waste of time as they were very passionate with what they did.
  6. Really loving this album guys! Also the artwork for the album is quite beautiful to look at. Slow Your Roll, I think is my favorite track. That funk! Ahem, I'm not really familiar with most of the tracks remixed other than the Classic, X, and Legends series but grown to like a lot of the tracks despite my lack of exposure to the other series. The one that surprised me was Level 99's beautiful acoustic track. Them feels in that song. Also really glad that Bomb Man got remixed as he my favorite RM in MM1. Such an understated song.
  7. Feel kind of dumb for not posting this in the proper thread: 4983-5220-8737. I'm pretty much playing Pokemon X mostly now and feel that's where the code will get the most use. Also have a bunch of Mega Man and Sonic games downloaded. Kirby's Adventure in 3D is done really well and really wish Capcom will put out the other Game Boy Mega Man games out in the eShop already.
  8. Here is my friend code guys and gals: 4983-5220-8737. I will try my very best to add all of you that posted already. I got Pokemon X and picked my homeboy Bulbasaur, he's gangsta. (Also picked Fenniken.) Last week, I had beaten this game and felt this Gen was so far the easiest Elite Four and Champion to beat. Other Gen's I had to get defeated several times and train my party significantly before being able to defeat them. Part of the reason they were easy, my level 77 Azumarill. (pictured here without the blood) She utterly destroyed their teams. She laughed at their pathetic attacks and pretty much OHKO'd everyone that was sent out. It was a massacre. I actually started to feel bad towards the end. Right now she's at level 87 and might possibly become my first Pokemon I legitimately level to 100. Definitely has become one of my favorite Pokemon now.
  9. Glad to see this being started up. I will definitely make an effort in participating in the voting process. (I'm usually just poking around in the Mega compos and gauging other reviews than making my own opinions.) Also glad seeing picks from the later games on some peoples list. This is definitely going to be an interesting compo.
  10. Prehistoric Xmas? Sounds more like it could be headlight fluid. Anyway, when I first heard this mix, it made me go "wtf did I just listen to?" because the style is so out there that I can't make heads or tails of it. Is it electronica? A space opera? Techno? The build up to the 1 minute mark when the song really starts to groove is really enjoyable. At times, the song feels a bit slow at certain points as it lingers between melodies before finding it's groove again. My only gripe is the emptiness of the sound-scape that others have mentioned. Not sure where Xmas is involved in all this as it sounds more space-like than Xmas-y. A trippy lighthearted remix indeed.
  11. Humble beginnings of a individual that loves video game music. Age has been kind to this mix as it isn't too jarring to listen to, nor is far from perfect. It definitely brings the funk but the flute (I'm assuming it's a flute) is a bit too loud that it oversteps the beats in the background. Other than that, it's a good head-bobbing song that will cause people to think you're weird for bobbing one's head. Somewhat cover-ish but it still does its own thing that it compliments the original source. Two things I find a bit weird (but not really due to the possibility of no one thinking of it before), no one has thought to remix this track (the source) ever since this was posted almost 14 years ago. Nor has the main man, DJP revisited this track after improving his craft. Just an observation I had after listening to this, that's all.
  12. I hope someone remixes this song from U.N. Squadron. It so deserves lyrics of some kind as it lends itself so well to it. Of course as a rock song. It is quite surprising about the lack of remixes this game gets considering all the composers of this game all have worked on a Mega Man Classic game at some point in their careers. There is a couple on the Dwelling of Duels that occasionally pops up so check those out if you haven't already.
  13. I think a lot of people forget the impact he has in our lives. If he hadn't decided on pursuing electronic games as a business venture, the whole gaming industry wouldn't have been as big as it is today. He had created a domino effect of artistic influences for many generations. Rest in piece, Hiroshi Yamauchi. I tip my figurative hat to you, sir and thank you for shaping many of our lives.
  14. I think DarkeSword is the Compo Commando. A tournament style or gauntlet style competition would work well for this idea. Since FF is usually known for it's story telling, a narrative approach should garner more interest. If you really want to be different, you could just have an even number of villain characters vs each other and the same with the hero characters and the the final match could be just good vs. evil. Or you could just rotate the themes like in the Sonic/Mega Man compo. Just talk with DarkeSword, Brandon. I'm sure you guys could mesh ideas to make something.
  15. Looking at the game play, it looks beautiful. I'm really digging the art style. I recently completed the original game on my 3DS and grew to like it though traveling area to area was a hassle but transversing the labyrinth was quite enjoyable. Right now I'm playing Risky's Revenge and this game fixed all the problems I had with the original, plus it looks gorgeous. This song is pretty damn awesome. I definitely pledged $200 for this. (I'm a sucker for art books.) :3
  16. Here's hoping a Tomb Raider mix shows up. Perhaps some more Pokemanz. 10 years?! Man I feel old now. I hope everyone who joins brings unique mixes to the table and has a large turnout.
  17. Bought it, downloaded it, loved it! <3 This album rekindled my love for rock music so thank you for that. Growing up, I always enjoyed rock and to me, this album feels like a bit 90's alternative-ish but still does it's own thing, kinda like The Offspring or Korn during that time. Your hard work definitely paid off! Now excuse me, I'm going to go listen to this several more times as I'm really liking the guitar work here.
  18. I think this song could be great as a symphonic rock song similar to http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02726/ or http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02388/ This series itself would lend itself well to this genre of music. Though, I'll still settle for anything, even bass heavy techno.
  19. Wish that rumor of Rocksteady Studios making a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was true. I would say the TMNT mythos is as large as the Batman one. The Behemoth making a beat-em-up style game using Final Fantasy characters and magic. Square Enix tackling the Mario series again. This time make it a side-scrolling, platformer. Bungie making a Call of Duty game. Nintendo making a Mega Man game. Valve making a Final Fantasy game. Bethesda making an open-world game set in The Last Airbender universe. (Create your own Avatar, go on adventures.) It being set in the Ranma 1/2 world would also be good too. Start in Jusenkyo, fall in random drowned pool, kept cursed throughout rest of game, avoid cold water.
  20. I'm not a hardcore Batman fan so this news didn't really Affleck me all that much. As long as the movie is better than Batman & Robin, I'm sure we would have nothing to worry about.
  21. Those Tomb Raider Legend tracks are amazing. The main theme has an God of War-esque feeling to it while the Nepal one is soothing and clearly ethnic driven. It saddens me that I didn't really notice them during my play-through years ago. Now I have to check out the rest of that games soundtrack.
  22. Thanks for the update Brandon! Color me intrigued by the people that joined this project. I get the feeling that this is going to be the underdog of remix projects when it gets released. No ones gonna know what hit them and they are going to be delirious for days after listening to it.
  23. I barely even begun to listen to the ones on youtube and so far they have been pretty "eh". None of them really stand out so far. When I get the chance I will explore that website more. I'm quite intrigued. If you feel that it isn't good, I wouldn't feel right for me to demand to hear it. From what I can gather from the *No* thread, you were on the right track with the mix, just needing fine tuning here and there. I would say to just work on it some more and post it in the WiP thread for a little more feedback. They obviously saw potential in it so you shouldn't feel too disheartened by the rejection. You just have to approach it a bit more differently when you look at it again.
  24. Oh man, I would have loved to have heard it. Forgot how good those Tomb Raider comics were. I think I still have that omnibus of them somewhere. After doing some mild research, there wasn't any remixes that I could find in the Dwelling of Duels website, nor was their a Tomb Raider tune picked in the PRC compo. Man, I'm just batting out in places I thought would at least have one. This does not bode well for me.
