Your Current News section should clearly spell out due dates/times for both mixing stages and voting stages. Having a story is nice but that's not really the purpose of Current News.

Music should be finished Nov 30.

I think the clamor for Pandora's Tower was due mostly to Wii owners being starved for games at the time. It sort of just hitched a ride on Xenoblade's wagon.

YEEAAAHHh!

I cancelled my WoW subscription today because Blizzard isn't releasing any further content patches leading up to Warlords of Draenor. I've had my eye on FFXIV for a while and am thinking about checking it out. What's the scoop on this game? Do most OCR folks have a specific server they're playing on?

Alright, I see what you mean, but that doesn't mean that the key is indiscernible. The song is in Bb minor. That's the key. Bb's the root and the quality of the key is minor. The second chord in the progression however is ostensibly not in the key because the minor 6th (Gb) is augmented to a major 6th (G natural) to match what's happening in the melody. That's okay. It doesn't screw up the key at all, the progression is just adjusting harmonically to fit the accidental in the melody. The G moves down to Eb in the melody, which gives us a pretty strong interval to work off of, and since the background line (what you're calling the arpeggio) leans pretty strongly on Bb at the bottom (Bb G Ab G Bb G Ab G), we get three notes that fit pretty well together: Eb G and Bb, aka an Eb major chord. Try using Eb major (i.e. major 4th chord) as the second chord in your progression. The rest of the progression should fit nicely into Bb minor.

Is this the you're talking about? Because that's literally the main theme of Final Fantasy IV slowed down, and is very much just in a regular old minor key.

We're never going to answer all of the questions, to be honest. Talkback is meant to be very casual, so we're going to end up drifting around on topics every once in a while. For instance, Larry and I end up talking about comic books a little bit in one episode.

People don't say that about Strangers in Moscow and Ice Cap Zone. People say that about Strangers in Moscow and the Sonic 3 credits theme, which share a very distinctive harmonic structure.

Isn't the Hampton like right across the street? You won't miss anything.

Neither are we, which is exactly why I made this thread. I want people to leave honest and hopefully positive reviews. I have a lot of confidence in this album, which is why I believe that most-if-not-all of the honest reviews will be good reviews with 5-star scores.

Needs the butterfly mask he has in Awakening.

Make sure you adhere to my super pedantic OCR style guide when writing your article. Also up for any interview action.

Hey everyone. We really need help in getting lots of reviews for our Mega Man album. Since this is a commercial album, it's really important that we get some reviews on the actual OUTLETS that are selling the albums. CD Baby, Amazon, & iTunes are the three main places we need reviews. I'm not going to ask anyone to just fluff up the album with tons of just "omg yes so butt butt good," but I will ask that everyone leaves an honest and hopefully positive review, and also hopefully give the album 5 stars. A good review would be something that calls out your favorite tracks. I personally believe that the album deserves great reviews and 5 stars, and I hope you agree with me. And the more reviews the better. When you post your review, post here! Thanks!

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just explaining why it's like that. xD

Makes sense.

No I mean WoW's graphics engine does most of it's work in the CPU, rather than the GPU, where most modern games (MMO or not) do their graphics work.

12AM? You're revealing match-ups at midnight?

That's because WoW really depends heavily on the CPU more than the GPU.

I'm messing with you man. xD

You can also reveal the match-ups and do the bracket image later.

Brandon, just do the match-ups like 5 minutes before you post them. They're not that hard to do and you don't need to prepare them a day in advance or anything.

If you haven't played since BC...how do you know it's the same old thing?

Not attending or subbing to the live pass, but I am pretty interested in info about the new WoW expansion.
