Not necessarily. Remember, I can still extend the competition deadline by a maximum of 48 hours. So if by the deadline tomorrow there is still not much activity, the first 24-hour extension might be the case. And it stimulated many a PRC in the recent past.

The People's Remix Competition 125 PRCv5-21 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last compo's Golden Sun theme saw a very hefty turnout - a grand total of SEVEN entries came to seek domination amidst the Venus Lighthouse. It housed quite a fair amount of trance, and amidst the competition Flexstyle pulled through with his first win with his own genre-adaptation of the source tune. The only connections between said GBA RPG and the source game for PRC125 is that they're both dependant on 2D sprites and have both existed in some form or other on Nintendo's purple handheld. This is all the more appropriate for this franchise coming as pretty much everything about the titular character is completely disconnected. We're looking at the first outing for the most famous videogame icon to spawn from France! Rayman - Band Land BGM 1 MIDI | MP3 First things first - since I'm now undertaking work experience, the deadlines for the mixing and voting stages are later than the usual. Now that that's out of the way... hell yes, Rayman rocks, yadda yada and so on and so forth. GOOD LUCK!

Wait your turn, Bundeslang Alright, the voting stage is over and now we shall announce the results. I'm too tired from my new job placement - not to mention getting involved with Nintendo's E3 conference - to consider coming up with something witty this time, so I'll just say who did it and who didn't? Total number of mixes - 7 Total number of votes - 10 Highest possible score - 30 just64helpin obtains his first ever last place wooden spoon with 3 points. Binweasel and hoboka group together for a joint 5th place with 6 points each. setokaibarocket kangaroo-jumped over to fourth place with 8 points. NeoS stretched a seven-minute epic as far as third place with 15 points. Showroom Dummy 1337'd his way to second place with 16 points. And the winner of PRC124 is FlexStyle with 18 points! It was a close fight for this contest, and at the end of it all it all went down to a first win from you, so well done. Since this is your first time choosing the next source tune, I'll fill you in on what you should select. It must be a source tune that has not been covered before here at OC Remix - this opens up the scope from uncovered songs in known games (FF6 Gogo) to songs from games with no coverage whatsoever (pretty much the entire Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles score), though songs not on the main site but have been previously approched in site projects (FF7 Shinra Company) are still game. I'll be happy to see you all on Friday for PRC125

Ahhh, you voted without me!! Ahem... the mixing stage is over! I'm sorry for the wait - had to be dragged to a last minute shopping trip this morning. It's time we got down to the voting stage, so here's what we're going to do. You will visit the ThaSauce page and make a vote on the bottom of the form. Out of the seven mixes submitted, you choose three and order them from first to third with a reasoning attached. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they will automatically get three points added to their total. The winner of the previous contest (Hylian Lemon) has a vote that will count twice. You have until Tuesday, July 15th at 4:59AM EDT to make your vote (and due to me finally starting a job placement, the results may not show up until approximately noon the same day). The winner will get to choose the source material for PRC125! Binweasel - Countless Screaming Argonauts Flexstyle - Venusian Trance hoboka - Light Up My House just64helpin - Wrong Lighthouse NeoS - Venus Caelestis setokaibarocket - Rosicrucian Sanctum Showroom Dummy - N30-15H74R-73RR4

Last time we were here, the source material went in the direction of one famous plumber's highly-acclaimed twist to 3D - Super Mario 64. It's a shame that the turnout can't be similarly described, but amidst the entries, Hylian Lemon came through with a fun arrangement campaigning against Goomba abuse (!) and scoring another win under his belt. Ben can't be with us to see PRC124 make its appearance, but he did send the source in the event that he would have succeeded in the previous round. Whichever is the case, we are casting our minds towards an awesome series of RPGs from the minds of Camelot. Nope, it's not Shining Force, but the huge acclaim this Game Boy Advance title received made it fare even better. Anyone up for psyenergy and an alchemic battle system? Golden Sun - Venus Lighthouse MIDI | MP3 | USF ( library) Similarly, I never got the chance to play it properly either, though I do remember rushing all around the local game markets looking for a copy at the time of the sequel's release.

Talking of which, it's over. Sorry about the wait - had a work placement interview earlier today. Now, it's time for the results. I'm curious to know who gathered the most power stars and defeated Bowser in the process, and who actually stumbled at the first goomba present...! Total number of mixes - 3 Total number of votes - 5 Highest possible score - 15 This is a rarity for PRC - every single vote has been unanimous, right down to the decision for last place. So, let's see what came out of it Chickenwarlord swagged yet another last place wooden spoon with 7 points. just64helpin piano-slammed over to second place with 10 points. And the winner of PRC123 is Hylian Lemon with 15 points! So, that's another PRC done and dusted. Ben can't be with us to ravel in his own victory, or be present for the next contest for that matter, but he did send a source tune in the event that this would happen. We should be good for PRC124 already. I'll meet you on Friday - same peoples' time, same peoples' channel.

I know you're new, but no qualititive commentary until AFTER the voting stage is over!

Blame it on Kamoh, I guess - I think that's how he used to label such tracks. ^^; I'll fix it.

Okay, NOW the mixing stage is over. The entries have been verified and I think we're in for some competition. So, all you have to do now is contribute to the voting phase. To do so, you will visit the ThaSauce link, listen to the three legibles and use the form at the bottom of the screen to order them from first to third. Contestants shouldn't vote for themselves but they will automatically get three points when they vote. Since I won PRC122, my vote counts twice, so I hope you've done enough to gain my persuasion. You have until Wednesday, July 2nd at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. The winner gets to choose the source tune for PRC124! Eligibles Chickenwarlord - Wasted Effort Hylian Lemon - Life of a Goomba just64helpin - Monsters Don't Hurt Mario Ineliegible NeoS - ZOMG! Shrooms!

As fun as your submission was, all it was was a straight conversion with altered sounds, a tempo increase and crazy beatwork. I'm sorry, but the mix doesn't qualify. But at least it was very uplifting for this time of night

Even though there theoretically is 90 minutes to go, I think I should already grant a time extension. Two entries is looking good, but not exactly healthy for the state of the competition. I don't usually grant the extensions out until a couple of hours later til now, but since I'll be on a shopping trip for most of the morning I don't think I'll have time to manage it later. PRC needs YOU. If you don't make mixes, then God kills a Cataquack.

Well, that's what the OST named it anyway. The title track is just referred to as "Title Theme". How creative.

The People's Remix Competition 123 PRCv5-19 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last week's competition took us to some Sonic 3D Blast action, and in spite of a 24 hour extension, it was quite the active round with 4 entries to make a selection from. Once again you wanted to get me to choose the source tune for this round, and I believe I have something firm and ready for this one. We are looking at another series that made the jump to 3D this round. Yet, as Sonic failed to make an impression the first time around, this feisty Italian plumber struck gold with one of the greatest games to be released on the Nintendo 64. Yeah, I gave the clue away too soon...! Now, you'll be pleasantly surprised to see exactly how we are looking at a defining moment in gaming for a situation like this. To be honest, I am too; Koji Kondo has been a strong musical mind over the past few years, no doubt about it, and his material for Nintendo have been seen as defined classics regardless of the situation they were brought about for. The score for Mario 64 was no exception to the rule either - most of it did indeed play safe though as a huge majority of the tunes fitted most of the typical feels for the different settings throughout, but it worked out really well in the long run and was responsible for some of the more upfront tunes that came to be remixed on OCR today. The source material that is being towed in for this round is arguably the most known of the lot, if the music inside Peach's castle is taken out of the equation. It's pretty much got everything associatable with classic Mario written all over it - a catchy melodic line, the setting being happy as hell and there being enough to interpret for a wide number of different variations on this theme. I don't understand myself over why it hasn't even been remixed yet, because it was literally screaming "I want to get inside your head and leave you to whistle the tune all day long", or something. Super Mario 64 - Main Theme MIDI | MP3 | USF ( library) I have the understanding that "Portrait of a Plumber" is in the works right about now, but I still think there needs to be some kind of source coverage even if that falls through. Either way, it's a requestite for a Mario main theme to obtain a bunch of remixes for itself, lol. GOOD LUCK!

Well it sounds awesome that's for sure, albeit the issue now is trying to ensure that their idea of remixing isn't just taking a MIDI into Fruityloops. It can be a good way to spread the word, but the issue is trying to find somewhere to start outside OCR and all. We'll think about it, I assure you. For now, it's results time. Which of you obtained the Chaos Emeralds and defeated Dr Eggman? And which of you lost all your rings - and your sanity - to a single badnik? Total number of mixes - 4 Total number of votes - 5 (lame!) Hightest possible score - 15 Chickenwarlord scooped up another last place wooden spoon with 6 points. Binweasel mildly shone his way to third place with 8 points. munchi is left out at second place with 10 points. And the winner by an unanimous decision is Rexy with 15 points! See, I knew this would happen. And you may think I'd complain about the state of finding a source tune while doing other more exciting things. Whichever is the case, I have something ready and you'll be surprised with the selection - you thought it might have been covered by now but it absolutely hasn't for some strange reason or another. Whichever happens, it's been a quiet week for PRC in spite of everything coming together at the last minute but we still managed to put up a show. And let's see if we can keep building on that for the next contest - PRC123, starting this Friday.

There should be, the rocket pack is one of my favorite Crash series tracks of all time I did a Crash 2 mix long ago, but that was more accustomed for Remix: ThaSauce if anything. Here's to a take on the Sewer theme at least.

Alright, people. The mixing stage is over. And 24 hours' stimulation coughed up four entries - not bad! Time to vote, gentlemen. To do this, you should visit the ThaSauce link, listen to the entries and fill out the form at the bottom - select three and place them all from first to third, with a reasoning attached to it. Contenders are encouraged to vote as they will automatically receive 3 points if they do so. The winner of PRC121 (just64helpin) has a vote that will count twice. You have until Wednesday, June 18th at 4:59AM to cast your vote. The winner will get to choose the source tune for PRC123! Binweasel - All That Glitters Chickenwarlord - Just Coal munchi - Dusty Diamonds Rexy - Snow in July

Well, having had problems trying to host the so-called anonymous entries for PRC100, this would be an issue to deal with as if I host yours on your behalf, I therefore wouldn't take part as I potentially would have used my IP to help you (and yes, I actually have an entry in the works). But if you could get a non-participant to upload the revision for you, then they can do that and I'll take care of the rest.

A time extension is just an added 24 hours. If the turnout issue persists by the next day, then another one is added; only two can be added depending on the scenario. If there is only one entry by Monday, then the sole contender wins by default; if there are two, a standard PRC voting scheme happens except that the contenders don't need to vote (their votes won't affect the voting at all). And a MIDI rip can just be seen as taking a MIDI of the source tune from somewhere and changing the sounds in the mixing program of your choice. PRC76 (Decap Attack) has way too many examples of those >.>

Well, no one sent anything. Might as well make the extension

Come on, there's 12 hours left and no one has submitted anything (the one on the server doesn't count as it was disqualified for MIDI ripping). Is this going to be the first time extension I'm going to give in 6 months?

Well, it didn't put much of a dampener to PRC68 (Animal Crossing - K.K. Condor) and PRC97 (Pokemon - Silph Co), where two versions of the same track were both used then as well. Whichever happens, your preferred Act 1 files are on the ThaSauce server either way, much like the original Game Boy variant was for the aforementioned Pokemon PRC.

Binweasel - All That Glitters Chickenwarlord - Just Coal munchi - Dusty Diamonds Rexy - Snow in July The People's Remix Competition 122 PRCv5-18 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last time we were here, we had an Eek! the Cat related contest that almost definitely erased PRC93 from veterans' memory; five entries graced us each with varying styles but one goal - to win the whole thing. And it was a first win for just64helpin who tackled the source with something more ambient and moody than a fair chunk of his competition, and given the warm reception his dedication easily paid off. PRC122 moves us away from crappy games of the SNES to crappy games of the Genesis - specifically, the beginning of one blue spiky rodent's fall from grace. If I mention something about saving flicky birds and an awkward isometric movement system, then you'll easily know what I'm talking about...! Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis) - Diamond Dust Zone Act 1: GYM | MIDI | MP3 Act 2: GYM | MIDI | MP3 Even though J64 specifically stated the Act 1 version in the submission letter, both variants on the theme share the same basic melody so they can both basically be seen as exactly the same track but with different forms of accompaniment, in a similar fashion to the last 2 thirds of Sonic 3 and the first half of Sonic & Knuckles. But hey, it's debatable if anyone wants to counterattack my POV on the matter ^^; GOOD LUCK!

Alright, time to seal the poll! Now, which of you lucky devils have escaped from the UFO alive, with Annabelle's sanity intact? And which of you had to give her up to become a giant space battery? Total number of mixes - 5 Total number of votes - 9 Highest possible score - 27 Binweasel claims his first ever last place wooden spoon with 5 points. munchi bit his way into fourth place with 9 points. setokaibarocket renegade-master'd straight into third place with 13 points (nice Wildchild reference btw). Chickenwarlord just got stuck in the escape hatch - second place with 16 points. And the winner of PRC121 is just64helpin with 23 points! Well done on your first win! It takes guts for something milder than the usual to achieve first, but you proved yourself to be very popular amongst the PRC crowd. Since this is your first win, I might as well explain the basis on picking the source tune. It can be any song as long as it hasn't been covered on OCR; this can mean anything whether it's an uncovered track from a popular game (e.g. Sonic 1 boss) or tracks from a game with little coverage yet (e.g. the entire Sonic Heroes score); furthermore, tracks covered on site projects but not on the main site (e.g. Sonic 3 Carnival Night Zone) are still fair game. I expect to have the source tune in my inbox by Friday. Thanks for your time gentlemen, and I hope to see you again for the next exciting instalment of PRC

Jesus Christ, every time I do a grammatical mistake there's always some kind of broadway production over it. It's fixed.
