  1. Me too, but for different reasons. When someone says "Why don't you just do it yourself?" it makes it sound like arranging and producing a piece of music is something that anyone can do with enough effort. I don't think that's the case at all. Some people are just not good at music, and no amount of effort will help them make something truly remarkable. Such is the case for any artform.
  2. http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01374/
  3. I can teach you how to play. Hit me up on IRC or something.
  4. All that stuff you hear from other games is imaginative listening on your part. None of it is intentional, aside from the Brinstar part, which is in Metroid Prime 2. It's not the first time people have heard things in my pieces that weren't there. Don't try to find subtleties in my arrangements like that; I rarely do anything on that level.
  5. Though I am loath to make such statements, it seems as though this one is the most appropriate, after reading aarowswift's reply: THREAD OVER
  6. Actually, I didn't enter that contest. I didn't finish my song in time; the song was finished much later (weeks/months later). It's not an IMC song.
  7. What I don't understand is, Martin isn't finished writing the series, so how are they going to continue with the story? Are they just going up to A Feast for Crows and waiting? OR ARE WE GOING TO GET NARUTO STYLE FILLERS? D: QUICK JON SNOW, EAT THIS CURRY OF LIFE
  8. Zork didn't have graphics. It was all presented through text. As such, it wasn't really a video game. It was a computer game though/ And NetHack does have good graphics. It uses ASCII characters well enough to present everything, and it all works in the context of the game.
  9. Graphics are really important. They're called video games for a reason. Bad graphics (art direction, technical implementation, etc.) can really ruin the experience a game delivers.
  10. I've always gone through the normal judging process, except for one mix I submitted to djp over IRC (he needed something to post and it ended up being DP-worthy anyway). When you're a judge, the only real privilege as far as circumventing the process you get is that you're allowed to post a song directly to the panel without emailing your submission to djp's inbox. The downside is that it's not eligible for DP that way; you go straight to getting your mixes judged by your peers. I always just submitted my mixes normally, via email.
  11. Spambot prevention wasn't the reason for the switch. Features like User CP, custom user fields, sub-forums, and other stuff that phpBB didn't have are the reason that OCR switched forum software. Spambot prevention was a nice bonus, but it wasn't the reason the switch was made.
  12. Actually, I have. Something like this happened a few months ago. It was part of some fraternity initiation; they made this guy drink tons and tons of water to see how much he could drink, and he ended up dying.
  13. Seen this kind of thing happen before. Hopefully people will learn something about the dangers of overconsumption.
  14. Please explain why you shouldn't have to register and log in to view PPR.
  15. Yes, you can use it, but no, I don't have anymore naruto remixes.
  16. http://ocremix.org/mixing/ Official forum thread links for FL and Reason point to phpBB.
  17. You should refrain from spreading misinformation such as this.
  18. But it is mine. This is not much more than an elaborate request post. In any case, Jon pretty much covered it. And don't make your topic titles "provocative." Why do you need to provoke anyone? Just title your thread with exactly what it's about.
  19. Torrents are released every 500 remixes. It's very easy to find out what's been out since 1500. Go here. http://www.ocremix.org/remixes/?&offset=0&limit=100&sort=datedesc OCR 1500 was The Koan of Drums. Everything above it is what was released since that.
  20. Can is not an adjective. It doesn't describe a person, place, or thing. Can is an auxiliary verb, meaning "to be able to." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/can
