At World's End made perfect sense, and was an incredible movie. Great end to the trilogy, and I hope to see more Pirates movies soon.

Way to take it out of context? As zircon said, nobody's wresting any kind of exclusive rights from a remixer, ever. And a few of the examples that Dave gave of reasons people want to remove their work are, in my non-site-staff opinion, stupid and petty, particularly the one about having a personal problem with a person on the site and using a removal request as a means of retaliation. That's petty, and to be honest, I don't think that something like that is ever a valid reason to remove one's music from the site. But what do I know? I'm just a robot.

I hope people will eventually understand that just because OCR can deny a removal request, that doesn't mean OCR will always deny a removal request. If an artist has a good reason for making a removal request (and not a stupid, petty one like Dave described), then that kind of thing can be entertained. Don't forget that even though it's a policy and it's "set in stone," OCR is still made up of people, who can discuss issues when they arise.

Oh so you can play trumpet and piano at your sister's wedding but you can't come out to Philly and play trumpet and piano for us? Thanks a lot, jerkface. You know what? We didn't want you to show up anyway. Yeah, that's right, I said it.

I'm going with my friends again this year, so I might not be hanging out with you guys all day like I did at the NYC meet-up, but maybe we can all grab a bite to eat around lunchtime. I'm going on the 16th though, so I hope to see everyone there.

You don't have to have made a game to say it looks bad. The "You couldn't do any better" argument is really weak. How many non-musicians here have negative opinions about certain songs on this site? Hell even one of the judges here isn't a remixer. The game doesn't look very good. I initially looked at it because I thought it might be nice to join up for the soundtrack, but after I saw the graphics and the concept of the game as a whole, I figured it wasn't worth my time. Looks like I was right. And this is supposed to be commercial? There are freeware games out there that look better.

People can be fools. For the record, I like the policy, particularly the part about "if you ask for a mix to be removed, you can't submit anymore."

1) Person comes up with an idea for a remix. 2) Person uses hardware, software, or a combination of both to convert this idea into a listenable form, i.e. MP3 file. 3) ??? 4) Profit.

I had suggested a moderated tagging feature back when I was on staff, but discussions sort of fizzled out. Hopefully things come to fruition. :\

Are you even contributing any solid information at all? Almost all of what you're saying is hearsay. This is how rumors and misinformation spread. Cut it out, man. :\

Just downloaded Stepmania to try out Sakura no Kenshi. Pretty nice. If you guys ever want to do more stepfiles for my songs and want some renders of the songs with specific lengths (I know DDR usually does them 1:30), then lemme know and I can hook you up with that, along with info about tempos in case you don't want to figure it out by ear.

Yeah I'll definitely try to be at Wizard World again this year, most likely the Saturday of that weekend. I'm going with friends from my old job and school, but it'd be cool to hang out for a while.

Bullshit. Prot never did such a thing, and he certainly wasn't banned or removed from the panel for anything like that. Say what you will about his attitude or the way he treated people--I'll probably agree with you--but don't start spouting ignorant nonsense about his judging practices. Before trying to explain something to someone, make sure you know what you're talking about.

No, I use Producer edition, actually, with the soundfont player. So that's like $185.

Nice. Though it's not Keshi, it's Kenshi.

I've recently started playing Dudley, and I know what you mean. Excellent boxer; way more elegant than Balrog ever was. I'd love to see them go head to head.

While Makoto isn't considered top-tier everywhere, she's definitely my weapon of choice. A lot of fun to play as; crazy fast with some interesting special moves. Try her out. EDIT: Jacked by Katsu. :\

That guy is awesome. "CAN YOU SEE THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES?"

"Go for broke" is an actual expression. It means to expend every resource you have in order to attain or accomplish something. In the context of Street Fighter Alpha 3, the announcer is essentially telling you to not hold back anything and give it your all. Triumph or die. As far as "I done handcuffed lightning" goes, I have no idea where that's from, and I don't think it's an actual expression, but just think about the words. When you handcuff someone, you've caught them; you've stopped them from going anywhere and you're basically in control. Lightning is fast. Super-fast. If you manage to "handcuff," or catch, lightning, you've pretty much accomplished something that's impossible.

Even so, I don't think we won't see Final Fantasy 14 for another ten years. It will probably just overlap with Fabula Nova Crysallis.

Yeah. Say what you will about the quality of the games or the supposed decline of the series or SE milking it or whatever, but you can't deny that Final Fantasy games, especially the "main" games, are system sellers.

And so begins the The Great Chthonic War.

This looks so neat. I wish my computer could handle it. o_o

Glad you linked that, Thalzon. As soon as I saw the title of this thread I thought it was misleading. Square Enix's new trend is that Final Fantasy games come in series. Right now, with Final Fantasy XII, we're seeing Ivalice Alliance, which is basically the main FFXII game(for PS2), FFT Lion's War (for PSP), FFT A2 (for DS), and FFXII Revenant Wings (for DS). They all take place in the same world and are linked together. (Technically FFXII for PS2 isn't part of IA, but it's still an Ivalice game with links to the other games). The main Final Fantasy XIII game is going to be on PS3. FFXIII Versus is also on PS3. There are still other games that are going to be on other systems that we don't know. Probably one or two of them will be on a portable system like DS or PSP, and there's probably a cell phone game in there because they like those over in Japan. So yes, the Final Fantasy XIII series is going to be multiplatform, but the game Final Fantasy XIII is not.
