Talk to people.
It hurts because it's true.

Love the new Advanced Edition enhancements! Not only can you send all crew back to their stations with a single button press, but those crewmembers are also colored differently so you can tell them apart just by looking.
Oh, and you start out with the new race's ship by default!
And I haven't even begun to mess around with the new weapons & systems yet.

Hope to catch this. Prolly gonna miss, though, helping my sis shop computahs. So sad.

Looking forward to the sight of my revolutionary new musical expression, "Used Car Candidates 2013.xlsx.mp3", appearing on the front page of OCR. So excite! It's so mind bending, you'll have to redefine new entire new paradigms just to wrap your head around it. I call it... a noizemix!

Links in the remix comments seem to be broken. See Larry's post here:
http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02852
The link URL seems to be appended to the /remix/ path, like so:
http://ocremix.org/remix/"http://hunz.bandcamp.com/track/draw-the-line"
And nice upgrade. Feels like the remix reviews/comments are a full fledged part of the remix page now.

Hey guys; be sure to catch OCU on March 1 at GAME OVER BALTIMORE!!
I love the vocal direction OCU seems to being going in.
Zombies on my Lawn was a hilarious smash hit as always. The Zelda rendition was beautiful and heartfelt. Can't wait for that one to make it to CD. Didn't recognize the Silent Hill 2 song, was it underneath the new lyrical melody? Then Guile's Theme, which brilliantly faked us out first with a re-upholstered Red Cyclone before blasting full force into our favorite Air Force family man theme. And Twin Seeds Flyby, complete with Stevo ahh-choir! It was a great time. -
Amy,
Yes I was joking about the "trans dino" thing. Especially with your Koopa avatar here, I would often misread your name as dinotrans. Hence the dino and trans halves of my attempt at humor.
Cool to hear you're delving into electronic music as well. Anyway, I enjoyed the passion infused into Headlines' vocals. ..."they all say the same damn thing"...
-
Good opportunity to mention: Nice name change. Get frustrated of everyone asking what it's like to be a trans dino? Though the name does conjure a vibe more electronic than acoustic.
Cool expressive song. Best art comes about through agony.
-
Nice mixpost, bro!
Glad to see it on the site so soon after MAG.

Install GroupMe, then ask in this thread to be added.
Are we using the same GroupMe group as last year? Directed to: Whoever is adding people.

As many others have said -- probably more eloquently -- kudos for giving it a go! Obviously you know your limits, and it's great that you can stop yourself before getting even more flustered. As someone who struggles with social situations, your predicament is all too familiar. And it's encouraging that you recognize that performance as just one step toward breaking out of whatever anxiety or shell holds us back. Keep on keepin' on!

Whoa, I missed this somehow. Thanks for letting us know. Secret of Mana is one of my absolute favorite SNES soundtracks. How Kikuta fit so much emotion into such a tiny box, we may never know, but at least we'll have his and this music.

Happy birf!

RIP, friend. Many nights I fall asleep to a relaxing Winamp playlist, knowing that it'll put the PC to sleep immediately after finishing.
Anyone know other audio players with this functionality?

Super-psyched to hear a source tune OTHER than the main Elder Scrolls theme!

Sometime in 2002 I found Project Majestic Mix's Tribute to Nobuo Uematsu (probably from searching for Nobuo, don't remember that part). Hanging out on the old PMM forums led to me OCR, VGMix, and OneUp Studios, and I was hooked.
Who were you on the Majestic Mix forums?!? This is almost exactly my story!
Never really noticed the Overclocked comic like many of you, but I do remember Bart Klepka's remixes. Got probably the only Daggerfall mix I'll ever hear from his site.
Also, I find it awesome that Kaleb Grace helped lead you to OCR, Amy. We both frequented Gamingforce Forums back in the day. I got involved in his awesome Song of the Week when it started, and I've still got a forum-stickied MP3-ripping guide over there (gathering obsolescence as quickly as technology runs past the CD).

zircon's "Full Speed Ahead" just popped up on my phone the other day, and I have to say, this is one cheery well-crafted tune! Surprised to see the mix not on OCR yet (guessing it's either somewhere in the to-post stream or wasn't subbed). Posting aside, I especially adore the nod to Final Fantasy VII's conclusion between 2:00-2:30. He subtly sneaks in an ethereal soundscape at the break, and before you know it the melody morphs into a double-dose of FF nostalgia. Not sure how it passed me by before, but glad this spirit-lift of a song came by again and rapped me on the noggin.

I guess to me it seems that if it met the submission requirements and was a quality mix, they *might* accept it? They seem like a pretty decent bunch, so one could hope. Then again, the gospel is offensive, and it would probably stir lots of controversy, so maybe they'd like to avoid that?
In Western culture and alleging Christianity is offensive. People, plz.

Got my tickets. Should be getting a room soon with mah fellow trunk of a Delawarean, D-Lux.

One reason some artists I know have "moved on" from OCR -- or perhaps more accurately, have greatly shifted their musical efforts away from OCR contributions -- is because OCR doesn't flex its promotional muscle strongly enough or often enough for its artists. I'm recalling an instance in which OCR promoted a friend's facebook page, and because of that single post, that friend netted over 100 likes in a single day. There's some solid promotional power under OCR's hood, but the gas pedal only gets tapped from time to time, in my opinion.
Out of 41 lines in the Youtube video description for a posted remix, only 2 mention the artist who created the remix, and neither of those lines are links to any further content from the artist. That's not even 5% of the description that an artist can rely on for promotion and information about themselves and their music to be communicated to listeners. I don't consider having my name typed somewhere in a wall of text to be promotion at all. The remaining 39 lines are about OCR itself, including links and a description of the site, etc. This seems to lead to a common, depressing Youtube comment motif that OCR is a person, a remixer him/herself, not a community of remixers.
(Bolded for emphasis)
I think your whole post is full of fair points. It's unlikely that Dave or any of OCR intended to de-emphasize the artists, it probably occurred simply from not thinking about YouTube videos from the perspective of an artist wanting to promote their music. Now, I don't post the YouTube descriptions, but this seems to be easily fixable! Every artist has a "homepage" field, so it wouldn't seem difficult to change the artist mention to something like:

Seems like a positive solution.

And needless to say, high ranking is more a measure of free time.
This so much. I do occasionally find myself enjoying LoL (and DotA 2), but the learning cliff is just brutal. And for someone with a lot less free time than when he was 14, I really prefer NOT to nosedive 100% into a game where being good demands memorizing the hazards & heels of a hundred foes. Even if the douchey atmosphere has toned down. If you're gonna make a game that complex, could I get at least a memorable plotline to go along?
But LoL is fun for the occasional romp, as long as I don't entertain becoming anywhere near "pro".

[...] as well as.
Niiiiice Anamanaguchi chiptune-fusion vibe. Lovin' it! virt, how you so freakishly good?

[everything]
So much agreement.
Just because men have possessed the obvious power benefits does not mean that there is no benefit to being a woman. For example, men also tend to occupy the lowest rungs of power, too. Most homeless are male. And society tells women that every one of them is valuable, while a man is NOTHING unless he can make something of himself.
-
stereotypes don't really count if they're a positive thing you're doing a thing called false equivalence
How about the stereotype that if you can't protect your woman, you're hardly a man at all?
EDIT: Beaten to the same exact argument by DJP.
To get rid of gender roles (whether in video game or society in general) you would have to eliminate gender and human nature. There is not an easy way to change something that has been a part of human nature since the beginningBrandon, you bring up good points about gender roles. Everyone, what if -- and I'm just hurling this out devil's advocate style -- What if greater polarization of gender roles tends to benefit society overall? It's not a popular idea at this point in time certainly, but science and truth care nothing for popularity. Two different, specialized hardware sets (genders) each with their own separate tasks (or tendencies) could very well outperform both hardware sets given the same tasks. It works in computing, why not with meatware?
Scientifically inspecting the question of gender role separation is awfully tempting. Just take a set of candidates who respond as being very aligned with their gender stereotypes, another group who identify only weakly with their gender, and a control group. Set them a several group tasks and see how they perform. But the fatal flaw here is that only a single context is considered: working with strangers in an unfamiliar environment. How can we possibly extrapolate that to all aspects of social life? Perhaps with some devious cunning an unbiased experiment could be designed, but I just don't see it.
So I ask: What if equality -- which seems so fair -- is unintuitively the wrong way?

LOL. I'll never think of the Federation Cruiser the same way. Thanks!
Just beat Normal mode for the first time, using the Fed Cruiser. I think it's one of the better ships, especially with a maxed artillery beam. Guaranteed hull dicing is always a plus, no matter what other weapons you lucked upon.
Been trying to master the Rock Cruiser, but I keep running out of missiles. Or just never running across any substantial missile-less weapons. Or accidentally beaming over the Engi who just fixed the damn teleporter, instead of evacing my eviscerated Mantis warriors. Ooops.
