What's the deal, K? Where art thou?

A remix contest that we can only enter if we give you guys money. That's nice. Usually I wouldn't mind that this wasn't VGM oriented; people post about remix contests run by bands every once in a while and it's okay, but I've never seen anyone ask for money too. Anyway, gonna lock this up. No soliciting please.

"Miles...Miles Davis, he kept puttin' this thing on the end of his horn to make it sound less like a trumpet. What's wrong with him?!" ROFL

George Lucas rarely has any involvement with the stories in any Expanded Universe material. He consulted a bit on the PREMISE of the first TFU game (the concept of Vader having a secret apprentice), but he likely doesn't even know who Juno Eclipse is. Books, comics, and games are basically controlled by their respective writers, with oversight provided by Lucas Licensing. Lucas has a hand in guiding the Clone Wars TV show, but even then, there are the actual writers. Also, threads about video games belong in community.

Let's stay on topic here.

No trash talk.

I'm fairly certain you have no idea what you're talking about.

No I'm not going to do that.

This thread is locked because it seems as though nobody can talk about Final Fantasy or Square Enix without bitching and moaning.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is, as always, that it depends on the approach taken in the submission. Would a three chord source work as an OC ReMix? As we always say, as long as the piece is recognizably an arrangement of the source material, then it's fair game. Is there enough material there to build a complete, cohesive piece? That's up to the artist to determine and accomplish. Would it pass? We have to hear the remix before we can say anything.

Yeah I just played it for like a couple of hours. So damn good.

That song has a melodic chorus. In any case, I should stress again that this is the Ask a Judge thread, not the Ask a Brandon Strader, Ask a Rozovian, or Ask a Somebody Who's Not a Judge thread. People are asking questions in here specifically for an official answer from a judge. In other words, if you're not a judge, please don't answer, because you're only adding to confusion.

Hopefully it's another old-style spin-off style game like 4 Heroes of Light. That game is quite excellent.

Yeah those books are good; it's a brand new superhero universe created by Stan Lee. Very good. Also from Boom Studios is Irredeemable, which I cannot recommend enough.

Congratulations to Txai, who won this year's Grand Maverick Remix Battle. Congratulations to all artists who participated. We got some killer music out of this competition. Remember folks, please grab the updated zip file from the first post for all of the remixes with updated album art and fixed tags if you haven't already. Stay tuned this spring for the next Grand Robot Master Remix Battle!

Greed Corps is an excellent turn-based game. Great deal.

Let's keep it about comic books here, not webcomics. If you're a periodical reader like me, comixology is the best place to go to keep track of what's coming out every week. I'm hitting my LCS today to grab some books. Here's today's pull-list. http://www.comixology.com/user/DarkeSword/pulllist/

Contrary to popular belief, George Lucas is rarely involved in any Expanded Universe Star Wars product. He's responsible for the movies, consulted a bit on the story for the first Force Unleashed game, and has a hand in the Clone Wars cartoon. Aside from that, the storylines for the endless myriad of novels, comics, and video games are left up to the respective authors/writers, with oversight provided by Lucas Licensing, a division of LucasFilm. All you need to know about Star Wars: The Old Republic is that it's a Star Wars RPG made by BioWare. If you've played KotOR or Mass Effect, you know that BioWare knows how to make a space-RPG.

Already a thread for this. Merged.

happy birthday to the ballerest brother around caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

I've updated the ONE BIG ZIP WIT ALL DA REMIXES and fixed the Final Battle album art. If you plan on keeping and sharing GMRB remixes in the future, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE download the updated zip, as it features revised tags, updated file names, and fixed album art.

Yeeeeaaaahh GameStop no thanks.
