Rexy   Judges ⚖️

Oh come on, it's only because of your porcine origin. They're probably butthurt for not dining on turkey on Tuesday.

Considering that your address is on your website (o_O), you may understand exactly HOW Spam got that lead.

I'm with the Temporal theme as well - makes it feel a lot less like a Wild Arms album (!) and definitely playing with the time travel theme the game had. I'm leaning more Divide than Duality though from the huge differences in styles between the WIPs, as well as emphasizing the stark differences between both scores.

Well, I definitely overindulged on Christmas Day, but my body seemed to react accordingly by falling sick the day after. o_O I've recovered though. Shame the gym itself is closed until after the New Year, but I should be able to make ways around that.

Well, didn't gain much this year but cool bits of the swag for me included: * A couple of mugs for my novelty mug collection (!); one with barking dogs and the other with Skylanders's Tree Rex * A fleece blanket with Sonic the Hedgehog on it * 5 episodes of The Sooty Show on DVD (loved that as a kid xD); bonus points for including the one with Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain teaching the drums xD * £15 to use on the PSN * A BRAND NEW CAMERA! Yep, the one I had was definitely getting past it xD Otherwise, was a quiet night in especially with all my cousins growing up. We still had some visitors in the morning though, and one of my grandfathers (my dad's dad) will visit us tomorrow as well. Happy holidays

I say it equally calls for some , if you catch mine. Still sucks that the deadline was missed, but what can we do? I still feel the OCR team are working as hard as possible to get a quality product out of the door, and I feel that in spite of the setbacks, it's going to be pretty damn impressive

Well, the collab with DusK was for "Ring Rink" from Ristar. I could recognise Rozovian's second track to be "A Wish" from Secret of Mana, Peach's to be obviously Zelda's "Kakariko Village", and HoboKa identified Mokram's track to have covered some Parasite Eve. On top of Coop's and JH's bringing theirs out in the open, that's all I know o_O

Think it would help that for the non-originals, it would be a good idea to have the source tunes in the comments somewhere so that we know what was remixed. Course, Peach's and Rozo's second one are kind of obvious already by title alone (!) but it would help if others step up too. (EDIT: Lol... as soon as I put the post down, JH put his sources for his mashup track. Nice!) That said, am hearing the album now! Happy Christmas everyone

And while we're on a tangent about Santa gifts... A candy bob-omb, a companion cube key chain (awww ) and Crash and Spyro's first GBA outings on one cartridge! Granted, I may have both games on separate carts, but this is still going to be mighty convenient! But this is what surprises me somewhat: were Shaggy and me each other's Santas?! On the night he received my gift, he then went on to gift me Super Meat Boy and the complete Lego Star Wars saga on Steam, and I assumed it was a token of thanks; whether that was part of the Santa package or not, that was also really appreciated!

Didn't "Requiem for a Dying World" finally pass? I still think that counts

**facedesk** Fixed!

1 - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! 2 - Still living under my parents' roof though, but I have been getting in touch with some of the housing agencies. Definitely something that may not happen right away, but I'm getting there. In an added bonus, 2 weeks after the New Year I started to tackle another problem - my weight. Started visiting the gym, walking more and paying more attention to exactly what's in what I've been eating. And as a result, this year I lost over 60 pounds! (before | after) I'm still a little bit overweight though, but I shall keep this up for 2013!

Hey, if there's something to put in perspective, there's 4 December birthdays within my family, one of them being on Christmas Day itself. And we never really had that problem, aside from our own Jesus having the right to not eat turkey on his birthday. Anyway, congratulations Mazedude! She looks so adorable, make sure you take good care of both her and Maze-mom

Ohhhh SNAP! OC Remix has become a bratty teenager?! Quick, prepare for all mood swings! 13 years of OCR - get in there!

The Rexy 1 Red Stripe Serve cold. Garnish with olive. Sounds appropriate considering my dinosaur-esque nick. Very familiar website too; did someone link this in the IRC some point last year? If so, the combination of The OverCoat was hilarious: 1 oz. Marijuana 1 oz. Egg Combine in shaker and strain into cocktail glass. Serve. Who the hell puts an EGG in a cocktail anyway?

Rozo, check your forum PMs for an updated version of my track. We may have considered it done earlier this year, but after the events of the past weekend I've gone and blown that out of the water.

Aside from 3DS titles, Nintendo handheld titles in general have no region lock. Heck, I even have several GBA titles imported from the States that work just perfectly in my phat DS. And I'm glad that Shaggy received it! And he even gifted me Super Meat Boy and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga as a token of thanks as well, so major gratitude there too

*checks Steam, sees ANOTHER game from Brandon, albeit Castle Crushers this time... and a string of kisses?!* Firstly, thank you again, and secondly, is it telling me that you ARE my secret santa after all?

Lol, what is with you men and their harmonicas? That's like, the ultimate source of entertainment for every adult male's Christmas shoebox out here. But yeah, if anyone has either of those two, you got ideas!

Alright, WIP sent in! I'm late here, but thank you Gar Not sure if having a mixpost prior to the release of a huge album is a good or bad thing, but the reception was still epic nevertheless

Bardic has it nail on the head. Why else do we have so many electronica pieces written in minor keys and sound anything OTHER than sad? Welcome aboard to the OCR forums! Yep, aside from the Workshop and links, the only other 'magic key' I can really think of is to make sure the source tune means something to you; that way it would be a lot easier to be able to write for. In addition to the Workshop, you can also try your luck over at the Competitions area, and hone your skills on any ongoing contests. A fair chunk of OCR's roster had developed their skills using that as an outlet

Damn right. I'll milk the crap out of anyone that stands in my way.

Nice, Kanthos! I don't know if you're my Secret Santa or not (didn't explicitly say so in the message), but thank you for gifting me The Secret of Monkey Island

Pandora isn't available outside of the United States though, so can't say anything for this

Letting you know I may be a few days late with the WIP due to various other projects that dropped within the week, but I can assure you it will be with you by Monday at the latest.
