Congratulations sir, you win the interweb award for Worst Usage of Sarcasm 2007. It's well known already that Nelly Furtado's Do It is a complete ripoff of a chiptune by Janne Suni. Where the OP got Shinobi from, however, is beyond me. In the future, please refrain from being a dumbass.

Sorry to hear that Jon. My stepmother was killed by a drunk driver several years ago. As were a couple of friends of mine in high school. New Mexico has an awful history of drunk driving. Until only a few years ago, liqour stores all over the state had drive-up windows. That's right, alcohol fucking drive-throughs. I used to live right across the street from one of these liqour stores, and in the short time I lived there, upwards of 10 people were killed by drunk drivers within a mile of my house. It's really, really fucking sad. I have no respect for anyone who does it. People should fucking know better.

i feel old now. egads, when my first song was posted here, you were 9. anyways, welcome to the forums!

oh it's out already? how's the music?

it's hard not to be angry when surrounded by ignorance

HAH. doop doop skiddle skaddle

agh you need to stop posting these things in here where nobody sees them

HERE IS your FOOT HERE IS YOUR MOUTH HERE IS A DIAGRAM OF YOUR FOOT BEING INSERTED IN YOUR MOUTH (IT IS INVISIBLE)

no no how about something that isn't already being done. something specifically FOR jamspace.

I'll hopefully be there. I play: Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, etc Unfortunately since I'm flying I can't bring any instruments with me though.

happy birfday dr. shael!

NO U aaahhhh

there is no set time for me. it's done when it's done. to give you an idea of what i mean, here's how long each of my OC ReMixes took to make: Ultima Online CreateDeconstruct OC ReMix: 2-3 days Chrono Trigger Forever OC ReMix: a little over a month Xenogears Heart-Felt Recollections OC ReMix: a week Kirby's Adventure The Ballad of Sir Kibbles OC ReMix (and bits and bits and bits): 6 months or so Final Fantasy VI Lamentations OC ReMix: 3 years Highway Hunter The Final Stretch OC ReMix: 3-4 days Final Fantasy VII Black Wing Metamorphosis OC ReMix: my part took about an hour, as for the whole, you'd have to ask spekko Final Fantasy VII Scenes From A Memory OC ReMix (to be posted): 1 1/2 years

tim who? JUST KIDDING JESUS i would but i'm already commited to like, ten thousand other projects (and two ALS albums)

wut? someone misspell my name? edit: ok i'll turn this into a REAL POST!!!!!! the reason i have (and by association therefore everyone else) stuck around here for so long, is because a) i like the people here. in general. i've made lots of what i would consider 'frienz' here even though i haven't met anyone in real life (though that will change come january). i've even had the chance to talk to a number of dudes on the phone (sgtrama, mrdru, danny b, larry oji, and many more). there are a few bad apples around here, but they're rare, and most of them often only serve to make things more interesting anyways. (TROLL HARDER) musicianism. with few exceptions, nearly everything i have learned about music has been the result of my experience here. if you went back and listened to the first things i posted in the forums here circa 2002, and the things i've created this week... it's more than night and day. and it's probably the same for a lot of the remixers who started out here. it's like a support network for music nerds. c) chats. i spend a lot more time in #ocremix than i do in the forums. and i spend a lot of time in the forums. i'd say the #ocremix subcommunity is even more cohesive. it's also more emo or perverted sometimes, but hey, it comes with the territory. d) i am tolerated. not that i'm a bad person. but sometimes i just can't resist the urge to be a ridiculous troll. it's gotten me banned a few times, but they always have it within their hearts to let me back in. also i think after putting up with it for 5+ years a lot of the ops/mods tend to look the other way now. now to actually answer the OP's questions: i suppose it takes a certain kind of person to be interested in video game music. sure a lot of people 'came for the remixes but stayed for the forums' and claim to be uninterested in the remixes or video game music any longer, but even if so they all still had a common reason for coming here in the first place. yes there is. i'd argue that one of the main differences is the age group. most twelve-year-olds aren't interested in koji kondo's works circa 1985 so they can't really relate to it. most of us are in our 20s. yeah there are a few younger kids here, but they're the exception, not the norm. that's just one difference though. it'd be hard to break it down further without doing some kind of sociological study. do not make the mistake of relating musicians with instrumentalists. while all instrumentalists are musicians, not all musicians are instrumentalists. you can still be a musician without playing an instrument. now regarding the number of musicians; there are actually quite a few. but you have to be careful. a lot of people here also claim to be musicians. but i'm not going to point fingers or hold it against them really, because i was the same at one point in time. as for me personally, i compose and arrange music, and i play guitar, piano/keyboards, bass, and drums. because OCR has created its own niche. there is some number of people out there who truly love video game music. and for these people OCR is one of very few places for these people to go where they can share that love. oh and if i had a cell phone, it'd probably be like 80% OCR people

i seem to recall darkesword singing the praises of this game

extremely relevant to my interests. i realize that there are a lot of sites out there with free drum samples, but most of them are awful (low quality mono encoding etc) and i don't feel like digging through a pile of shit to find a good piece of corn to eat so make with the quality links!~ D:

Mario Kart 64 - YES Woo! I love Mario Kart 64. I used to play this with my dad way back in the day. Ahh the memories. Twisted Metal 2 - YES A true PlayStation classic. Probably the best game in the Twisted Metal series as well. It doesn't get much more fun than this. Split screen mayhem is a plus too. Duke Nukem 3D - YES Definitely. One of the most original (and notorious) first person shooters ever made. Quake III Arena - borderline YES Quake 3 imo isn't nearly as good as Quake or Quake 2. But it's still a good game. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - DEAR GOD YES Best game ever made. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - YES Far and away the best game of the GTA series, and one of the best games to come out in the last few years as well. The gameplay, the story, the atmosphere, the size and scope. They nailed everything with this one.

Man, every time. Once again everyone neglects Hazama's Suikoden II mix. THE most relaxing song on the site.

nice work everyone! sadorf's got the songs hosted here: http://epicgaming.us/sadorf/Flikomp/Flikomp7/ thanx & enjoy

i'm in. i feel like making some funk this time around.
