To start: This isn't official by any means. I was wondering if there was any interest in some kind of OCR Firefox extension. Maybe some kind of sidebar or toolbar, or maybe a XUL app for organizing remixes or something. I dunno. I wouldn't know where to begin as far as programming it; I'm not good at application development. Any ideas, thoughts? What would you want in an OCR browser companion?

No, you're missing the point. His son is going into a store and buying the game with no adult supervision in sight. The cashier is selling M-rated game to a minor without asking for any kind of age verification. The cashier has no idea if permission was given or where the money came from. That's the point Thompson is trying to prove; that retailers don't really care that much about carding kids for video games. In my experience (working as a cashier at Target many many years ago), such a thing was not far from the truth back in the day. Might be different now. Real issue is, look at it from a statistics point of view. Sample size of 1? Kind of a worthless "sting" if you ask me. If he had hundreds of kids all over the country doing secret shopper type stuff, it'd be a bit more substantial.

Secret of Mana always reminds me of green fields and forests. Perhaps its that first area where the boy finds the Mana Sword, surrounded by grass and thickets. This is my latest release; it's called Thicket. It's a remix of Angel's Fear and Into the Thick of It. Secret of Mana - Thicket [4.86 MB] Enjoy. EDIT: This is done, btw. I'm not working on it anymore.

This is boring. Left hand part is the same thing over and over again, and there's hardly any arrangement to speak of. And this is nearly six minutes long? Why? You could listen to 2 minutes of it an be done. You need to actually arrange the piece and do some part-writing that doesn't rely on the same fifth-jumping eighth-note pattern throughout the entire piece. And the bells at the end are nothing but an afterthought. NO

I think that if a ban is in order, it will be carried out, despite any...spite.

No, I would not consider. Please don't do that to the topic. Also, it's spelled "passionate."

Uh...are you deleting your posts and then reposting them to bump the topic?

Who said anything about remixing? You need to chill the fuck out.

In the 31st Century.

Square Enix should team up with DC Comics Before the Countdown to Infinite Final Crisis Core on Infinitely Multiple Earths. Endlessly. Only a select few will even know what I'm talking about.

Actually, remixers, especially ones that us FL, wouldn't find it interesting at all. Using the piano roll in FL is the most basic part of sequencing. That's what sequencing something IS: recognizing intervals and writing them in the sequencer. This isn't interesting. Saying that remixers would find it interesting is like saying writers would find a video of someone taking dictation interesting.

What's a GenDisc? Also: General Leo death > Aeris Death *flee*

I'll do it. I will. Don't make me. ...

Please don't post in Comic Sans.

There are a lot more excellent FF mixes on this site than just the FF7 project. Particularly stuff from games other than 7. These are the FF mixes I have from OCR.

A lot of the mirrors are down. I removed them all. I'll try to put more up later.

Pretty much any modern BT client worth using these days allows for multiple file selection. If a person is using a client that doesn't support that feature, they should update their BT client.

To be honest, after seeing VGLive, I wouldn't buy the CD. The arrangements for the most part aren't anything you're not going to find anywhere else. The primary draw of the show is the fact that you're seeing it, well, live. Other than that, the track selection is fairly standard/straightforward. Mario, Zelda, Halo, WoW; all relatively "mainstream" titles as far as game music goes. Also, the Mario and Zelda arrangements are the same ones we've been hearing over and over again since Orchestral Game Concert. A lot of the other music is straight stuff from the games with very little arrangement at all, considering they're from more modern games. A CD like this is for a person who still finds game music played by orchestras to be a novelty; the audience is there, but for people who listen to OC ReMixes, OSTs and arrange albums, I don't think that you're going to find this CD to be particularly impressive.

This has a lot to do with mixing, actually. Try Audacity.

I would strongly suggest NOT playing OverLooked ReMixes on actual radio.

Anything is fine.

As long as it's not a continued subscription thing, I might consider it.

So far, nothing sticks out at me music-wise, just a lot of orch stuff. Nothing really in vein of the previous soundtracks yet. Hopefully the soundtrack picks up a bit.

Yeah, me neither.

You should probably play the first two before the third one, only because once you play Corruption with the reportedly awesome Wii controls, you might find the previous two games rather stiff, as they are not dual-analog free-look shooters. Don't get me wrong, I really like the control scheme for MP1 and Echoes, but I can't imagine what it would be like to revert after using motion controls.
