Hey everyone, I've made a new thread for the OCR playlist initiative. Since making the old thread we figured out a better process for putting them together. So let's start fresh here. I'll try to keep the first post updated with new playlists as we publish them.

During one of OCR's staff meetings Larry and I figured out some really great tools that YouTube has for creating playlists. In addition to game-specific playlists, we've started putting together some themed playlists with the help of some other staff members. Check 'em out.
Hit the Gym, Bro: ReMixes for Working Out Don't Sleep on This: ReMixes from Obscure Games Rock Out with Your Clock Out: Rock and Metal ReMixes Take it Easy: Relaxing ReMixes YouTube allows us to deputize people so that they can add videos to playlists we create; if anyone wants the collab link to add OCR videos to these playlists, post here to request access. Once you get access, you can start adding videos. Remember, OCR channel videos only! We know that we don't have all of our albums up on YouTube yet; we're working out a solution to that, so please don't add non-posted album tracks uploaded to other YouTube channels.
If you have an idea for a themed playlist that you'd like to create for OCR's YouTube channel, post here with your idea and I can hook it up for you.

There's a park near my house.

It used to always be empty.

..... it no longer is.
 
Ever.

I'm enjoying the game so far...
LOL JK, I live in Canada.

We tried challenging a Gym only to find an immortal Paras that just wouldn't die.

That's a known bug.  (OOOOOOH POKEMON PUNS.  But no, seriously, I've seen people mentioning it elsewhere online.)
I live right across from a shopping center, so there's a pretty good number of stops and gyms within a few minutes' walk of me.  I just hit level five today so I haven't messed with any gyms yet, but so far the game is surprisingly compelling despite the fact that the capturing pokemon gameplay is almost pathetically simple.  (That said, I've run into a few cases where I nailed my target with a pokeball but they escaped and disappeared, and I have no idea why).  Whenever I see a blank silhouette in my nearby pokemon tab, I have to resist the urge to track that sucker down.

I'm not a pokemon guy (I think I've played one of the games before), but my friends kept talking about this last week, so I went ahead and got it.  Quite a fun video game that actually makes you want to go get exercise, who knew?
Anyway, I've made it up to level 12 and have put together a decent little stable so for.  Unfortunately, the gyms around me are starting to be populated by super-high players (one has a 1400+ CP pokemon stationed there), while my best range from 450-680.  I'm never going to be hardcore enough to take on stuff like that, likely.
So, it turns out the capturing mechanic is actually slightly more complicated than that.  The color of the ring indicates capturing difficulty (green-easy to red-really hard).  Several factors go into whether or not the capture is successful: the quality of throw, the type of pokeball used, and whether or not a razz berry was used.  Nice or Excellent throws will increase your odds of a capture on tougher targets (curve ball throws may as well but I don't know for sure).  Feeding them a berry first will increase the success rate of your next hit.  Using a better quality ball will cause the ring color to become easier.  If your capture doesn't work, it'll pop back out and may try to escape.  Usually, you'd have several attempts, though.
As far as throwing, I've read the developer said to throw when the ring is at it's smallest, but I'm almost certain at this point the idea is to get the colored ring to match the grey ring at it's widest (meaning you'd throw right at the moment the ring closes in the middle to try to time it).

So, it turns out that my office is a Pokemon Go gold mine.  There's a pokestop within range of where I sit, which means I can farm free stuff all day, but the building itself isn't on the map so the game thinks I'm standing in an open field.  There's a decent chance of running into wild pokemon whenever I open the game to hit the pokestop again.  I've probably caught a dozen pokemon without getting out of my seat this morning.
Of course, the downside is that since I'm at work, I can't leave to go hunt down things that I see in my "nearby" list.  There's been a psyduck one footprint away all morning and it's killing me.
 
Oh, wait, it's lunchtime.  BRB.

I was surprised yesterday evening to find this guy outside my front door.  Especially glad I was able to catch him after a few attempts with both berries and Great Balls.
 

Saw this on Facebook today and lol'd
 

I went to challenge that gym today only to find that instead of the measly 130CP that was guarding it earlier, it's now populated by several 800+CP pokemon. RIP.

I've seen like 3 churches around here that are also Pokespots. There's also an Abby's Pizza nearby that serves as a Gym. Some of the GPS stuff seems a little wonky right now, though. I can be right next to or even inside Pokestops and be too far away.

So umm... (necessary) BUMP!
Been having a ball (no pun intended) so far. One guy in the Indiana Pokémon Go Trainers FB group caught a 573 CP Vaporeon in the wild!

I've got lots of Eevees and bird/bug Pokémon in my area. I'm hoping that silhouetted Snorlax comes back when I'm NOT driving. Which teams are you all on?

So did you want every song in 70's/80's style, or can the remixers choose themselves?

Here is my First Pass at The ending(If you like it you can put me down for the track):
 

Hello everyone!
I can't figure out why I didn't join actively this community before, so let's do this.
I'm Lord Bif, I'm from Paris, France, I'm 29, and I create VGM covers on YouTube for about 2 years now (the name is Lord Bif Music). At first I basically wanted to learn how to record instruments and produce music and video, and for doing it without more difficulty, I thought I could do covers of VGM, since I'm a player too. That way, and by posting it on YT, I thought it was a good way for having feedback and imrpove myself. 
In the end, I love that, so I still do VGM covers, but with more arrangement, trying to go out of my comfort zone. I work on Cubase, and I play mostly drums, guitar, bass, and some piano and cello (as a newbie). My favorites games those days are Mass Effect series, Dragon Age series, and multiplayers games such as Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm and The Secret World. 
In real life, I'm a web developer and I like many things, but not extremely uncommon. Thanks for reading, and see you on the forums!

I don't have a particular franchise I arrange from, I just arrange songs that I like and that will sound good if arranged on piano. My main franchises I'm currently focusing on are Fantasy Life, Dokapon Kingdom and Super Smash Bros. An unusual choice but their soundtracks are underrated

Not bad. I like the style you've chosen, but I agree with Ganae, the bass line needs MORE and I think you may want to look at your individual part dynamics.
Drums are pretty flat too. Could you mix it up a bit at 0:42, maybe add something or open up the sound of them a bit?
I will say, I do like the sound of the drums, synth, harpsichord combo. I want to hear where you are going to take this. Updates please!
...Oh yeah, and did you know the video says Lego Dimensions on it? LOL

Hi. I can just tell on thing. You use too much compression to my mind.
Perhaps you can so play with the bass line to make it cooler.
 

Friends,
I have awesome news. At long last... after five years of talking about it... American Pixels is here. The project has just landed on Kickstarter for the final push, this 4th of July in the year of our Lord 2016.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1265656914/american-pixels-a-game-music-tribute-album-by-maze 
 
This has been a labor of love, blood, sweat, and tears... and damn the music came out awesome, if I do say so myself. Now I just need that last little nudge to cover the cost of mastering, licensing, CD duplication, etc.
Any and all help from the OCR crew to spread the word would be vastly appreciated; let's make this thing EPIC together!
