That's what I'll do with the 3DS version. Can't do the Wii U as I don't have one and don't have a reason to set myself back by £200-ish either. Honestly, between what I had seen of the Wii U version on Youtube, what I had heard about the E3 demos being majorly fucked over, what I had also heard about Sega pulling down game footage prior to official release and what I noticed of Sega not sending advance review copies out, it tells me there's no confidence with the final product at all and that they're trying to cut back on marketing just to salvage any potential losses that may crop up from this venture. Still unsure? Think back to the release of Alien Isolation, another game Sega published. Irresponsible developer plus no advance review copies. I don't even need to remind you of the critics' reception, or how GearBox REALLY spent their development money. It to me would take a lot more than a misguided business outing for me to boycott future Sega products, especially as they introduced me to gaming in the first place. For ow, the best they could do is keep moving forward *_*

To be fair, I don't have a Wii U but from what I had seen on Youtube, I personally think it's made Sonic '06 look like Mario 3. And I was expecting better from a portion of the team that had worked with Crash and Jak... The cartoon, on the other hand, it's definitely silly but as someone who grew up with AoStH it's got my approval. Like Garrett, I don't watch much TV either, but I won't let that bother me. I am however interested to try that 3DS demo whenever that arrives here in Europe. Hopefully that shouldn't be anywhere near the levels of trainwreck as its major console brother.

You got the complementary "birthday mix playthrough" on tonight's SEGA Mixer Drive from me. Here's to more time within the community and helping others with blunt yet helpful feedback.

Yeah, I want this year to be my first attempt at doing something handmade as well. I'm super excited x)

When I send items abroad, I'd put them in a bag or box depending on what they are. Honestly Brandon, have you never mailed a parcel before? EDIT: Form filled in! Let's dance!

I've been waiting for this!! I'll sign in as soon as I can

OH CRAP! I forgot about the deadline ;_; I definitely need to note down the Jan 15 milestone and get back to it. Yeah, what did I do x.x

Say, is there going to be a Talkback this week? If there is, I'm thinking of taking advantage of the clock shifts and joining in this time

I have an old demo that was MEANT to be done for last year's album. Time to dust that shit off.

Likewise. I was meant to be working on something different last year as well, but had to change last minute. Guess there's another year of it in limbo.

MY BODNIK IS READY.

To be fair Mike, this is the first I've heard of your stuff and I thought what I heard on Soundcloud would've been just fine as it is to send to MnP. You kept the feel of the original, the ideas you added were very minor and your sound design was also very appropriate. But I know it's too late to fix that now on ThaSauce; again, don't worry about it as I'm very happy with what you did. Yes HoboKa, I know I shouldn't have commented on someone else's mix prior to the vote opening, but I just thought I'd give my two cents about how I perceive the MnP concept xD

Love him or not, he's certainly left an impression on OCR over these past... uh... however long it had been since the Xenogears album got launched (nearly 10 I bet xD). Here's to 10 MOAR and the eventual conception of StradeRemix! Keep makin' sweet music for all of us... and poops.

I'm still holding out on the 'bad pun' flood myself.

I bring up OCR to RL friends and while they do discuss about some of the nice things I do there, the only physical person who's actually heard some of the stuff on the site... is my own mother. *_* She'd accompany me sometimes to OCR's conventions in London and hear the performances there, and she actually enjoys what she hears as well! In addition, there was an old friend I had on the old Scorehero boards whom I discussed some of my involvment in OCR for, and he somehow took a huge amount of interest in Dj Mystix's works (mostly out of his OWN nostalgia, but he still enjoyed what he heard). One day though, I'll get someone introduced to OCR, and then they'll start posting here even if it's once or twice a week.

Most artists regardless of skill tend to release entire albums on Bandcamp. Even many of OCR's artists have gone that way - it's a great way to get started if continuing to make albums is your thing. And for the record... OCR doesn't normally take remixes of loader themes - it would've helped if you contacted them with a different sample of yours in the first place

On behalf of RadioSEGA, we endorse this move!

Does a single grand piano count? Anyway, I signed the form and am good to roll with this thing. Thanks for the messages xD

A chance for another FF6 / Sonic CD flood? I'm game. </shamlessselfpromotion> In all seriousness, I have a feeling that if one of these floods will have a huge amount of Sega in it, I feel as if it'll either be a huge new material block on Sega Mixer Drive or one that could spread out over weeks. But this is still a great way to let go of that queue! Man, I remember a time back in 2005 when there was nothing in the queue left to be judged on...

Personally I don't know what to make of this direction. When I heard about the news earlier this week, I felt as if I was totally down for Nintendo having a cosmetic change similar to the DSi... until I saw that there was a game in development (technically a port) that would take advantage of the new specs and not run on the old ones at all. Granted, there had been a small number that would only work on the DSi, but that wasn't the main focal point of shifting units - the camera and DSiWare was. And I'm aware the latter couldn't be done on the regular DS; but the way I saw it was that it was the predecessor to the 3DS's eShop. But I'm going off tangent with this one - while Nintendo's focus to the more 'hardcore' market can be seen as a good thing for those that actually play games, the need to make an entirely new system disguised as an upgrade seems rather sudden considering the 3DS has been around for 3 years. And if 'hardcore' also means more buttons, does that make the old Game Boy line any less 'hardcore' just for using a d-pad and a few other buttons? See, there's my usual early skeptics on the subject. The least I can do now is just see how it fares and whether the move could turn out to be the right decision or not.

I don't know; I learnt the hard way though that no matter how good your grades are, no matter how determined you are to get amazing jobs and the like, the general consensus of the world's population is that they don't want anything to do with people that have physical or mental difficulties. That's what seemed to be the big gate for me that I personally can't jump no matter how full of knowledge I am. So I'm practically in Meteo's boat on doing music for fun but more with the reasoning that I can't go far enough to get what I desired to do when I was a teenager. But I still enjoy the art form and I can't leave it behind for anything else, and I'm sure some of you guys may feel the same way.

My 18-year-old self would still have a burning passion to write music scores even if it's for other forms of media. However, with where I'm at now, the only career goals I even have are to eventually get some stable paid work that I enjoy doing rather than being stuck in an office all day. I'm also good with the idea of taking any of the music / visual skills I picked up in my student days to use as a freelancer, though.

To be fair, I do a lot of searching around on the Internet for stuff to play during the show, which can include any finished Workshop pieces that get my interest. The comment about 'getting told I have more lenient standards' actually was a comment given from Eino Keskitalo about his OWN work. But I'm usually very open about music. I also want people to have a little charisma along the way

I've seen WillRock, Fishy, ProtoDome and Magellanic at past conventions here in the UK. In addition, Flexstyle flew out here to meet up once. But given that I'm the only northerner out of the brit-gang, seeing OCR peeps / fans on a regular basis is rare. My only hope really is finding messages given through StreetPass or something.
