Thanks dude!

The draft is complete. A link to the draft results is available in the first post under Current News.

Attention everyone, the draft is locked and signups are closed. I have recorded everyone's picks into the draft sheet and will be running the draft in a few moments. No changes can be made at this time.

Guys, team names have to be 1-3 words.

I'm a big fan of shounen stories. I prefer lighter, more fun series. I'm actually less into anime than I used to be (I still read a ton of manga though), but my big thing for the past decade or so has been tokusatsu (Super Sentai and Kamen Rider), which should tell you something about my taste in entertainment. I've been a die-hard Naruto fan since the anime first premiered, and after Shippuden started airing I switched exclusively to reading the manga. While the pacing, filler arcs, and inconsistent animation quality of the anime turned me off to keeping up with the show, the manga has never disappointed me. Kishimoto has never let me down, and I know that he was involved in the development of the game (especially NUNS3), which is part of why I think the story parts had such an impact.

Hey guys. Earlier tonight, Larry, Stevo, José, Andy, and I all sat down with RPGFan and did a really fun interview about Balance & Ruin, OC ReMix, and game music in general. It was a Hangout on Air, so you can catch the entire thing on YouTube. It's pretty long, but some good conversation going on. Check it out!

Eh? I've always stressed that these games are incredibly heavy on story sequence.

Looks like they're just bringing 3 to PC. Shouldn't be too bad; the story in UNS3 is told in such a way that it stands on its own. Still, NUNS2 is on 360/PS3 and worth playing.

OMG it's coming to Steam.

Alright, this one's important. Comixology is currently running a sale on American Vampire, a fantastic comic book series about a new breed of vampire that crops up in the late 19th century. I simply cannot recommend this series enough. Scott Snyder weaves an incredibly engaging tale of the uniquely American breed of vampire throughout history, going from the Old West into the 1950s. The art is absolutely amazing too; expressive, dynamic, and visceral. It's also important to note that American Vampire was partially conceived as a reaction to the recent trend of romanticizing vampires. The vampires in this series are monstrous and violent, not dandies or sparkly. The sale has each issue in the series available for a dollar each. That's quite a deal.

Yeah, you do. It has to be Mega Man themed.

caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!

I really don't think that's enough. xD

No, I mean, where are you downloading the files TO on your hard drive? As in, what folder are you saving them to?

Am I seriously missing something? What does pudding have to do with Mega Man? EH, that's a bit of a stretch.

I don't think I get the Mega Man reference.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will be locking down song picks this Saturday, around 6 or 7 PM EDT. I've counted ROUGHLY ABOUT 40 people who have posted picks. I haven't counted anyone who's had a team member say that they're participating. I've ONLY counted people with a posted list of 5 robot master themes. If one of your team members hasn't posted their picks, tell them to hurry up and post their picks. If they don't, they won't be eligible to compete. Also lets make sure that we have a multiple of 3 for the number of participants. I'm not locking down final teams this Saturday but I don't want anyone to be left out. If it's absolutely necessary we can do a small, quick recruitment period afterwards to fill out any shorted teams, but try to work your teams out before then if you can. I've updated the first post with a link to the Teams sheet. I've edited the sheet to include free agents. If you don't see your name up there and you have posted your picks, please let me know.

Just want to say that in the early planning stages of this project, the OC ReMix staff had some really extensive discussions about what kind of approach to take. There was a lot of back and forth about doing a more conceptually focused album or just taking the VotL approach and doing a smorgasbord. For what it's worth my arguments were a lot more in line with Mini-Me's (I also had some really heady concepts worked out that I might try on my own in the future), but in the end I'm glad that zircon and McV went with such a large and varied approach. Something for everyone.

Where are you downloading the files?

Congrats to everyone for a smooth release. Remeber folks, reviews go in the review thread, not here.

FYI: Reviews go in the review thread. Don't post reviews here.

It's fine to be excited guys, but seriously, don't start spamming the forums.

If you are updating your picks please make sure you are editing your post as everyone has been doing, not posting a new updated list in a later post. It's possible to game any system, but it's not worth the time to figure out how to do it effectively. There's enough complexity in the system to sort of just even everything out.

From the GMRB 2012 thread:

Mid-July-ish. It would be nice if people resolved conflicts on their own ahead of the draft, but I don't want anyone to feel pressured into doing so. If you really want a song, make it one of your picks. I'll work it all out.
