    On this day in 2013, Esther Fiona Lloyd came into the world to follow in the footsteps of her parents David (aka our own djp) and Anna.

    However far she's getting along is still anyone's guess, but from what we've seen and heard from Daddy Pretzel™ himself is that she's been given wonderful care and she loves her parents very much... and djp may have consumed more coffee than he might've done in the past 10 years?

    Nevertheless, congratulations on hitting one major milestone with the little one! Let's see her keep developing into a fine young lady! :-)

    On the weekend of 19-21 December, RadioSEGA is hosting its first community-wide event: RadioSEGA’s WinterFest 2014.

    From Friday, 19th, at 8pm (GMT), all the way until Sunday, 21st, at midnight (GMT) listeners will be able to enjoy live shows and community created content, as well as earn some prizes.

    In an unprecedented move, RadioSEGA is giving other community websites control over their airwaves! During the whole weekend, community guests like the Sega Addicts and The Sonic Show will host, for the first time ever, live shows and give RadioSEGA listeners a taste of the content they put out. Turbo, long-time Sega:Sonic Radio DJ will host a specially dualcasted edition of his Turbo Drive Live show.

    Apart from that, veteran community musicians DJ EAR, SirJ, the Opus Science Collective and Mark Drury of Megadrive Band fame, created special SEGA music mixes for everyone to enjoy during the event. And let’s not forget a first-on-RadioSEGA edition of Dylan Cornelius’ SEGA Does Podcast, reviewing some retro SEGA games!

    As for the in-house programming, get ready for special editions of your favourite RadioSEGA shows, as well as trial episodes for Phantasy Star Beats and Sunday Funday, coming to RS in early 2015.

    We hope this edition of the WinterFest is the first event of its kind and to have more community content on RadioSEGA in the future.

    Pasted in Community because myself and Sir Jordanius are involved in this!

    The RadioSEGA staff enjoy not only the niche Sega gaming community but also the people that have done a lot of service to it, including the folks across the remixing community for arranging tunes from various Sega products. It's all about a wintery get-together throughout the entire weekend, complete with loads and loads of prizes to give away! Don't miss out on ANY of them if you want some cool Sega / gaming swag!

    Turbo will lead the charge this Friday at 8PM, complete with a Christmassy SEGA Mixer Drive at 9, the Opus Science Collective doing a guest mix at 11, the Sonic Show's silly show thing at midnight and Sir J blasting out some beats at 2AM. The rest of the schedule's on the website for you to take a look at and plan ahead your pre-Christmas weekend. You may get some early Christmas presents too!

    So yeah. Be there and have a good time! :-)

  3. I still stress that you should've thought about your Kickstarter rewards as well. Some of the most successful Kickstarters actually offer tier rewards that are relevant to the person / organisation behind it; could be other albums from the artist / group's back catalog, highly-coveted requests for those too-lazy / without-the-tools to do it themselves, or maybe even contribute to the final product in a way beyond just having their name written in small black lettering on the back of some sleeve.

    You're not meant to go into a KS to attract a "specific" audience - no FF fan would pledge to a KS to end up with some classical music album NOT done by the person that started the KS in the first place; instead, they're looking for something unique and exciting that's either related to the person (hence building up a following) or the wider FF series in general.

    You want those funds? You got to open lots of doors to get them!

    Does that make sense? o_O

  4. The kickstarter page itself also looked badly organised - no information on what it's about and why you want to do it? Unclear shipping? Not only are there too many tiers but also a lot of irrelevant giveaways to the cause (i.e. What kind of final fantasy fan would be interested in owning a copy of the Nutcracker suite anyway?). You should have spent more time planning it out and figured out the hows and whys of doing so.

  5. Question for Rexy: are the marbles and Elec Man a reference to the fact that I've chosen Elec Man and Marble Zone multiple times in compos? (sorry if you mentioned that in your note, your handwriting was a bit hard to read in some places)

    ...my shitty handwriting baffles once again. :lol:

    Yeah, you didn't include anything specific in your wishlist, so I went in the direction of OCR compo references. Making the Elec Man doll was a fun challenge though, and I'm glad everything came in one piece! :-)

  6. Hey Chernabogue - I think Zero's gifting you. :P

    I just got your gift, thanks so much! Two years in row, and I got you this year, pretty crazy! The new Binding of Issac is great, you'll enjoy it!

    He gifted me Abe's Odyssey, Gunstar Heroes and The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - 2 retro games and something more recent, and given how ADDICTED I was to the original Binding it's a nice fit! Thanks Cash! :-)

  7. shipped my thing yesterday - I've never shipped international so hopefuly nothing messes up!
    I've sent it international, which I've never done before

    Say Chernabogue - assuming we're the only two non-Americans doing this Secret Santa, who do you think will have which? xD

  8. I remember complimenting this on Facebook when I saw it get approved by the panel. Might as well copy-pasta for significance - I'm very pleased with this outcome, Ben!

    Midday Gardens totally fits his groove-based approach from what I had seen in recent months as well. If Bingo Highway (re: SZRC 2014) and Special Stage (US) were balls-hard to work with in the first place, think about what would've happened when later Stewart Copeland work came into consideration.

    Having transcribed some of the PS1-era Spyro MIDIs, I can understand the difficulty of being able to work with something more riff-driven, and Midday Gardens is what I feel is even more restricting than the rest of the soundtrack. But regardless of the outcome, I'm really glad we've got some Spyro love on OCR - big love there!

    (...and I'm sorry Larry for not stepping up my game on this yet =()
