Please stop saying "selling out." It's incredibly insulting.

Uh huh.

OCR is and always will be very much about music by the community and for the community. Free mixposts and free albums constantly rolling out year 'round. You will never run out of free music to listen to from us. Commercial albums produced in collaboration with game companies is a fun way for the site to support itself. You won't see these often, I think. Just in very specific circumstances when the terms are favorable for us. I don't want to say too much or go into too many details, but Capcom set up a pretty good arrangement with us for this album, which is part of why we did it.

Hopefully if we ever do something like this again we can get you in on it. I loved your GMRB track from way back when!

Very proud to finally present this album to everyone. I hope everyone enjoys what they hear. Please let us know what you think!

OverClocked ReMix and Capcom Present For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man October 29, 2013 Contact: press@ocremix.org FAIRFAX, VA--OverClocked ReMix, in collaboration with Capcom, is proud to announce its first-ever commercially released arrangement album For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man®. The album pays tribute to Capcom's legendary sound team by arranging classic music from the first games of the Mega Man® franchise, a game series which has sold over 29 million units worldwide. For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man® is available for digital download on iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon MP3, as well as on physical CDs available for pre-order on CD Baby. For more information on the album, visit http://mm25.ocremix.org. This special two-disc arrangement album features 21 tracks in styles including electronica, rock, folk, funk, trip-hop, bluegrass, and acoustic guitar, as well as breathtaking artwork of the heroes of Mega Man® by rnn. Spanning the history of the Blue Bomber, For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man shines the spotlight on music from the first installments of Mega Man®, Mega Man® X, Mega Man® Zero, Mega Man® ZX, Mega Man Legends®, Mega Man Battle Network®, and Mega Man Star Force®. Created in 1999 by David "djpretzel" Lloyd, OverClocked ReMix is the world's premier community dedicated to the promotion of video game music. OC ReMix first teamed with Capcom in 2008 to create the soundtrack for Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix, involving over 20 OC ReMix musicians and marking the first-ever AAA game soundtrack developed by a fan community. "It's no secret that I've kind of made it my personal mission in life to fill the world with Mega Man remixes," says album director and long-time Mega Man fan Shariq "DarkeSword" Ansari. "I've always felt that the music from Capcom's legendary franchise is incredibly diverse, wonderfully catchy, and very approachable from an arranger's point of view. I'm happy to say that we got an incredible pool of talented artists to dig into all the different iterations of Mega Man and his games' music and put out some awesome tracks. I'm incredibly pleased with how this album turned out, and I'm very excited for everyone to hear it. I hope everyone out there will enjoy it as much as I do. Here's to 25 more years of Mega Man!" Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a video game icon, having starred in more than 100 titles over the last 26 years. The connection he's made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series' ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.

YOU GUYS http://www.propellerheads.se/products/figure/ https://itunes.apple.com/app/figure/id511269223?ls=1&mt=8 Figure is a really awesome and very intuitive music app for iOS. It's free on the App Store this week. You should all download it if you have an iPhone or iPad.

Actually, send me the logs. I'm actually a mod in #ocremix.

Nope. We've never deleted accounts for inactivity.

PROTIP: constantly bringing up how people may have treated you poorly in the past is a great way to perpetuate people treating you poorly.

It's the azan; the call to prayer. Weird to hear it over a very western major key chord progression.

In this world there are two kinds of people. Winners and Losers. In this competition, there is only one kind of people. Winners. YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

I don't think it's a crackdown on spam at all, just Facebook trying to monetize their service more.

Everything is updated now. Final scores are tallied and the scoreboard is updated. Check the first post for this year's winner. Thanks everyone for a great competition. I'll be taking a break from running compos for a little bit. Look forward to my next competition sometime early next year. It will probably be a remix battle tournament, as opposed to another gauntlet, most likely Mega Man, but possibly something else. I haven't decided yet. In the mean time, please check out the Apex 2014 album project thread in the Recruit & Collaborate forum. I still need to fill out the roster as soon as possible, and there are many talented remixers here who would be a good fit for the high energy music I'm looking for. As for what's next for the WCRG, there's still the archive release which is in the works. I'm working with an artist who's planning on drawing some nice art for the competition, but if anyone else is interested in contributing artwork (maybe depicting some of the events of the storyline detailed in the first post), please contact me.

Somewhere else. Maybe a catch all speedruns thread in Community.

It's not "Darkesword's competitions conduct." It's "The Competitions Code of Conduct." You can take my name out of the first post.

YOU GUYS This game comes out next Friday on Steam. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

If you want to talk about the Zelda franchise feel free to make a Zelda thread. This is the Wii U thread.

Will try to do it this weekend.

Love it! The issues I had with the previous version are all fixed now. Love the subtle brass in the background. Like I said in my last vote, the guitars are so joyous here, which is exactly the way to approach this song, IMO. Really wonderful stuff. YES

Me too!

Agreed with Larry. Drums are boooring. You could do a lot more with them to keep things fresh throughout the piece. I like the guitar performances, and I think you could easily add some variation by doing a middle section with some Chrono Trigger inspired improv before you double the lead. Think about it. Pretty conservative, but not bad at all; really relaxing. Let's take another look and give it the push it needs. NO, resub

Larry and Deia direct post stuff because they are the inbox judges (they handle the queue directly from the submissions mailbox). Other judges could conceivably direct post tracks as well, but it's mostly those two and djp.
