Wow, calling him the "big" man right after he worked so hard to lose all that weight. Tactless. So tactless.

RED is the one you want for Scrims and Special Events™. BLU is OCR's "normal" server.

Yeah there are like, a million 80s songs that sound like this.

Please don't reply to spambots.

WiFinder is essential; a much better interface for finding Wifi signals floating around. Tweetdeck for Twitter is great if you use that. Syncs with desktop client. Comics by Comixology is cool, it's like an iPod comic book store with lots of free stuff. Baseball Superstars is probably the game I play the most on my iPod; I have '09, but '10 is out and I've heard that's better. Actually pretty much any game by Gamevil is worth grabbing. AuroraFeint (and related games like Tower Puzzles) is another fun game. There are some cool Final Fantasy tower defense games like Crystal Defenders and Vanguard Storm (the second one is like Plants vs. Zombies). You can also grab Tyrian, it's been ported. Amazon's Kindle app is pretty nice; they usually have a couple of free books to download.

XP bonuses.

Check out any of the Pixar movies. We just got Up on Blu Ray and it looks awesome. BALLOONS IN HD.

I've created a Heroes of Newearth social group here on OCR. http://ocremix.org/forums/group.php?groupid=5 It features a discussion board which may aid keeping different topics of discussion more organized. As I don't play HoN, I've put in a transfer request to make zircon the owner of the group (only moderators can own social groups right now).

Oh my!

FINAL ATTACK RIDE W-W-W-WEDDING ... I'll be there in spirit.

Sounds like you guys need a Better Brazil Bureau.

Releases also get put in the Workshop.

If we are friends on Raptr, we are friends in REAL LIFE. JOIN NOW.

Green Amnesia, by DiscoDan.

Wow Jade, you're like those jerks on The Price is Right who always bid "Five hundred and ONE" after the previous contestant bids five hundred dollars.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake

They are too busy playing NEO GEO ROMS.

The CIA doesn't care about your Geneva Convention.

Played and beat this weeks ago. A masterpiece.

rofl Yeah I'm pretty sure people most gamers don't even know what boycott means.

Putting everything in the cloud is a horrible idea. A couple of weeks ago Google decided to lock me out of my Google account for a couple of days without any kind of warning. I couldn't access Gmail, Reader, Calendar, anything. The reason? I still don't know. The only thing I could think of was maybe some IMAP gone wonky? They never told me why, just "sorry for the inconvenience." I'm not interested in a company being able to hold my data hostage like that. Also, kind of tangental, but I really hate that people don't differentiate between an Operating System and a Shell anymore. I know that this is both because it's based on Linux, but still.

Brushfire, knock it off. Only warning.

We have a new Social Group feature on OCR, and we're trying it out with gaming communities and album projects. We've got a TF2 group here where people can make multiple discussions based on different topics pertaining to TF2. Join up, please. http://ocremix.org/forums/group.php?groupid=1

Stop talking about Left 4 Dead 2 in the TF2 thread.

Not really knocking VGMix here, yes, that was the concept, but in practice, the people ranking remixes on VGMix eventually boiled down to a few regulars that numbered around the same size of OCR's panel. But anyway, I think a lot of people are assuming a lot about what's being considered as far as a revision of the Workshop section of OCR. Forget about rating and ranking and doing what VGMix did; the basic idea that's being tossed around is giving artists the ability to "release" a song on OCR by tying it to the database and making artist released tracks searchable by game and all that other nice stuff. No, they won't be tagged as OC ReMixes, and yes, you'd still have to submit and go through the process to get posted on the front page and all that jazz, but it's more about taking stuff that people release out of a "forum" context and make it something far more browsable. Instead of creating a thread that gets lost in a sea of "check out my first remax," you add your remix to a catalog of Workshop mixes. Hypothetically we could even host them (but I'm not in any position to commit to that kind of thing). It's all very cerebral/conceptual right now, but the basic idea is not to replace OCR's current Panel system or to ape VGMix's tiers and ranks, but to make the Workshop more functional for artists trying to release their work and for listeners trying to find the latest mixes the community has to offer. Also, Mono, when people talk about improving the WIP forum and other people say "it's fine, it works in the end," the discussion isn't really about promoting work but about getting meaningful feedback for the purposes of submitting. It's really a different discussion altogether.
