Now that we're here Larry, what should be done about Brushfire's earlier vote? The reason why I didn't initially file this was because: 1) Team Fortress 2 / Borderlands aren't represented on OCR so I didn't think they'd be valid write-ins, though then again I could be completely wrong. 2) There's no images picked for either. But either way, it's your call - what would you do with it?

1) *facepalm* I thought that was an example vote xD I'll get it in! 2) Sure, it's one thing to support something, but if you can't convince people that the McRib is better than Sonic vocal tracks...

Funny you mention this, because Time's Anxiety was pretty much written when things were going bad for myself. Also seems to fit the sombre-before-becoming-more-uplifting approach as well if that's how you're feeling. But yeah, guess there's a lot of us doing the self-pimp wagon here. Perhaps we appear to relate in a way o_o*

Got it. Nope, no one died xD Well, Aku Aku is kind of a weird case - he's pretty much a witchdoctor spirit possessing a tribal mask. I don't really know how else to describe him with fewer words xD Either way, taking your advice to account, I'll go over it either later tonight or in the morning, and see how it goes.

Considering the franchise had been without a game for nearly 5 years, I have no idea if it will happen again especially under Activision's wing. But sure, change to "have" just in case. A paragraph in regards to his personality? I can whip that up too: I hope this will help o_O

And fixed! Same link as before. Was concerned about how much space listing individual voters would do, but thank goodness for the ability to freeze rows/columns to your liking

That's cool - I'll bring what I've written in. Hopefully this would turn out fine o_O()

Following up from my prior post, I've got an ongoing spreadsheet tabulating the scores as they come. Is this okay?

I've attempted a bio for Crash; do I just PM it your way, Dafydd?

Okay, I'll be as follows: 1 - Amaterasu 2 - Joe Musashi (seriously, no Shinobi yet? o_O) 3 - Bayonetta I'd also like to offer to tally up the final scores. I've got 2 years of PRC score-keeping experience to support this, so hopefully I'd be of use

The more I know O.o I thought it's quick to assume that they only feel connected with OCR when they're more open about it. Perhaps this web is smaller than we think.

I've shown my support in seeing some of his past WTF Is... vids and occasionally bringing them up in the IRC upon regular discussion. Think his moves have been pretty cool with that, and it's a sweet thing he's gone as far as OC Remix exposure and all. But really, one of these days he aught to thank me for realising that an OC Remixer spread the word of his vids months before he spread the word of the site. Bring it on. x)

Why is it that May 1st or around that time is a popular time for a checkup? Honestly, for me around that time, I've got a TMNT project deadline, first wips in for FF3, the Castlevania one Chernabogue's working on, Mirby's "gimme a finished track for my Cid project or I'm kicking you off" type deal... that sort of thing. I still want to keep going with this. Just don't expect me to have something by May 1st, because too many other people want me to have stuff in for that time >_<

Aside from the bunch of Skylanders level speedruns on my Youtube page, I don't have much to be credited for. I do enjoy watching people pull them off tho

Talking from experience, to me it's difficult to make first impressions just because you're a new person. But like SnappleMan said, make music and make great use of whatever talent you have to give. Sure, I may be a little more distanced than most - I'm in the UK for one thing, I live further away than the other three UK remixers that have handled the previous two OCR conventions in this country (WillRock / Fishy / ProtoDome), and my personality has made me really difficult to be approached otherwise. But you don't have to be everyone's BFF just to draw attention, as long as you are willing to put great time and effort into your hobbies and interests. That said, use the workshop often; offer instrument services for projects yourself; maybe even have a secondary skill on the side (like with me with video editing). It may take some time, but you will get some good contacts this way, and what's better is that they could even help you keep improving your skills, or at least that's what I found.

Actually there's two of them ("Arctic Rush" / "Running on Shards"). Though to be fair, there'd been a restriction on repeats this time around. Yet, a certain Vince Kupo may still be a happy bunny anyway because it didn't stop there being THREE remixes of "Escape From the City" on this thing

Newspost: http://www.sonicstadium.org/2013/04/tss-community-release-the-sonic-stadium-music-adventure-2012/ Website: http://projects.sonicstadium.org/music-album-2012/ Torrent: This way! So, you guys may remember someone sharing the 2011 album in Community last year. I got to check it out for myself, and saw some great hints of brilliance out of it; definitely worth looking into. And interestingly, through a strange twist of events, I got involved with this year's album as well! So I'm among the 40 contributors to all this from across the Sonic based fanbase, with a mixture of musicians that got involved with last year's album (inc. EAR, Freen in Green and Wolfblur) as well as some strong performers that made their mark elsewhere (Serenity Seven, TrickyWolfy, MasterJace and a handful of others). A load of games covering the entire Sonic franchise were there, as well as expanding to other Sonic based media, original works (inc. Arrow's contribution for Robo Blast 2) and many other SEGA games that had also seen release at some point. Granted, it's not there to appease to OCR standards, but we are all here to have a good time and making arrangements that make us feel great as musicians. Whichever's the case, hopefully you guys would check this out and offer your thoughts

What about the 2 other Charge Man remixes Phonetic Hero did for the same WCRG ("No Ticket!" / "Plains, Trains and Auto n' Beat")? May need to look into those. Plus there's "AMP", which also brought in SuperiorX and Rozovian with parts to call their own as well, and also towing in hints of Needle Man and Crystal Man. You should be covered by those, surely

I understand, Rozo (and to some extent Meteo in spite of his confused response xD). I'm not meaning any harm on the duplicate arrangements, but I just thought that was a rather unusual move even for a large project like this one. Nevertheless, keep calm and mana on.

It's also a strange one to ask, but how did some of the tracks in the track listing end up with second versions in spite of initial versions being considered done? As far as I'm concerned, HL and myself held the forts for Angel's Fear / Weird Counterpoint; think an explanation may be needed with this o_O

Yep, it DID finally get taken down. The user may have continued raging (to the point that he even deleted every single "you stole this intro" comment on that page), but he finally got to the part where what he did was wrong, he took the vid down himself and terms were just settled. Glad that was over quick, but his reactions were still downright unruly for a young adult :\

Well, the track in question for this one isn't specifically an OC Remix, but it was a track with a VERY SPECIFIC purpose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXtc7IVRkOk To most passers by, it would just come off as "random intro for a shitty game video". But the remix in question is actually something I SPECIFICALLY made for Silver's Saturday Show, an ongoing music block for Radio Nintendo. Now, I wouldn't mind if it was a regular remix being used, but I certainly do NOT authorise the brief remix I did to be used anywhere OUTSIDE of any links to SSS. And what's worse, the Youtuber in question is passing off the current naysayers as 'trolls' on his Twitter account. So... summarized nicely from VizardJeffhog in another comment: OCRAPS, what do you guys think of this case? More to the point, how am I supposed to flag the vid?

There doesn't appear to be a formal process, so yeah - as long as you inform the staff that the track(s) are for the festival, that's perfectly okay.

I've noted listeners stating love for even tracks from Project Chaos in the previous SFMF. So I'm sure tracks from Sonic Zone would work out.
