TCK

You have no idea how irritated that makes me.

"Oops, I guess the cat's out of the bag now."

Not that I'm in a position of authority or anything, but isn't it too late to be having a CS special?

I must have missed that part. Care to elaborate?(also, Substitution, not Replacement, but whatever )

That's a shame, because you're in for a long wait

Me like!

All of them are 32x32 gifs. Not all of them are pixel perfect though. Space Ghost Aqua Teen Hunger Force Harvey Birdman Sealab 2021 Various TV Phoenix Wright LT: Other than Space Ghost and Zorak (thanks), the rest are pixely crud and you know it. Brak's the best of the rest, but even that could be better. Some are obviously too dark. When you're not using Photoshop or something good to resize, it shows. TCK: I think I found what I did wrong for the others to look so shitty. I'll fix them out tomorrow. Also, added Phoenix Wright avs. Besides, as long as Space Ghost works LT: Most of the Phoenix Wright are slightly muddy (the ones with the gray backgrounds) or too sharp (Phoenix could be smoothed out more), but the 2nd and 3rd to last on the right (Gumshoe and Larry) are good, so I took 'em. EDIT: Actually on second though, there's just too much white/empty space for those two, and the faces are shrunk too much. If you color the background and/or get closer looking pics for Gumshoe and Larry, that would be good.

The sad truth is, at the age of 69, I'd be up for listening to all that.

It was bad enough wwhen VG Frequency finished forever once. Now you want to do it AGAIN?

Hey, if you had large breasts, you'd do good work too

At no point have I suggested to remove the Retro Remix feature. OCR hasn't kept the same frontpage all its lifespan. Why should VGDJ keep the same intro?Put it this way, if you got rid of everything after "this is VGDJ", I'd be much happier. My point is that it DOESN'T give an incentive to check out OCR, because 30-60 seconds is not enough to give an incentive. 90-120 seconds would be so much better.

Yet another long post ahoy! I personally don't feel that that's the case (but you already knew that, right?). In cool bulletpoint format:* The only thing that's likely to be relevant to newcomers are game names. They probably don't know who "Jeremy Soule" is, let alone "DJ Crono". * Reading out names of remixes won't likely give an impression as to what the track sounds like. And as much as it's a shame that newcomers are likely to discriminate on genre, it's something you have to work with. * A minor point, buy when two of the six game names inevitably include either the word "Fantasy" or "Trigger", it doesn't help. * If the idea is to attract people by giving game titles that have remixed tracks, a lot of that is done simply by reviewing recent remixes. Otherwise, where does it end? Could you, say, have a 12 mix RRR, and have more options? It'd be interesting to hear of people who's explored any of the games/remixes/remixers of any of the losing 5, just through listening to the selection process. I can understand your point about playing the whole track of something people may not like. Then again, unless the format has changed (or will change), you're likely to be going into a lot of detail over the mix in the first place, which can take as much time as the remix itself. It doesn't help that last I heard the talk came before the sample.I guess it's a case of trying to strike a balance between showing a small sample not showing enough of the remix and showing off a whole remix that people won't even want. Like you said, now's a good time as any to evolve, and that's one of the main reasons why I chose now to take a critical look at VGDJ. Even if nothing I suggest affects the show in any form, it's nice to know that stuff is being considered EDIT: While I'd say "The J.J. Show" has a certain ring to it, perhaps it's not really appropriate

I like the Retro Remix feature, and it's been something I'm surprised you never did on VGF (Oh burn!), but I don't see any point in spending two minutes reading through names and rolling a die. Why mention details of things you're not going to play? That time could be better spent going into more detail of the remix and remixer selected if so desired.Besides, my momma told me never to trust someone who smells EDIT: Will respond to posts I've missed (ie. PT's post above LT).

The reason we only play short clips of the recent remixes is to entice our listeners to actually visit OCR and download the music themselves. VGDJ isn't a playlist show; our goal is to involve people in the community here. If we played the new mixes all the way through, nobody would feel the need to explore the site, ya know? Unless more people express concerns about the RRR, I think that's gonna stay as is. We'll play around with the show order for a bit and see what seems to work the best. I was actually surprised to hear that a couple of you find the intro kinda lame. I've always liked it, partially for nostalgia's sake, but hey... That's something we could probably change. Any suggestions, for seriously? Nostalgia's a dangerous thing I can understand your point about playing only a sample of a track gives an incentive to explore OCR, but it depends on your perspective. I'm not sure that the 30-60 second sample is enough to entice someone to download a track. It's a very vague guide to how "good" a remix is, and I feel that people could be missing out on tracks they'd otherwise have liked (and downloaded) if they heard more/all of it. Though of course there is the whole problem of keeping time down. Either way, my main point was that the RRR transparency thing is a bit wasteful.

- Provide said intro, and we'll take it into consideration. I'm perfectly happy with the intro as is, but special bumpers are always welcome. I think the intro is cute, though the samples do get old. There are definitely worse podcast intros out there... This last show I was secretly hoping for a huge dramatic re-entry with either DJP or Aurora actually saying, "Let there be rrrrrrremmmixxx!!!" Oh, if I could make music (that didn't suck), then I would feel obliged to provide you guys with a new intro.Certainly there are worse podcast intros, but I'd hope that VGDJ would step up from the plate now that it's evolving, so to say. I believe I even mentioned the annoying as hell intro way back when the show started. Yeah, I hate that intro, and pretty much everything about it I think the most-recent show order is fine. Intro, general news, ReViews, Cyanide & Rama, Roulette, then randomness at the end followed by stinger. Having Cyanide before the ReViews in previous episodes helped space things out, but do whatever you see fit. This show the intro was more drawn out b/c of the new hosts and what-not. The order for me is pretty much the same, but I'd move general news somewhere around the Report sections. A lot of that stuff just isn't important in comparison to reviews. Perhaps give a brief summary of what's going to be news, eg. "in community news this week, we'll have details of the New York meetup, etc." before starting with the reviews. I agree with you and (the late great ) Rayza on this. Speaking out 6 ReMix names doesn't take all that much time and hey, it's a podcast, you can always fast forward! Besides, maybe an OCR newcomier hearing an artist or song title will spark interest and he or she will pick it up. Like I said, it's got charm, but I don't think it's necessary. Bear in mind that time isn't limited persay, but it's good to eliminate as much wasted time as possible for a portable podcast format. You could use that extra time to, say, include a complete play of this weeks remixes, rather than just a sample (although that may have changed since last I heard).Anyway, a lot of the criticism from me is due to the whole two month recap factor. The rest of it pretty much has been a problem for me since the beginning that hasn't been rectified. I'll check out next week's more regular show, to see what happens differently.

First time I've listened to VGDJ in a while. Time for a review on the format: * Please please please get a less gay intro. * I could hardly hear Wangless. Surprising as I'd have expected it to be the other way around. You know what to do. * Good to hear Auroramix and Rayzamix once again. * Random irrelevant quotes to split sections are gone since last I heard Not that I think uniform splitters are necessary, but it's an improvement nonetheless. * Music reviews finally at 20:00. That medley really was pointless, although I understand the problem of condensing 10+ remixes, that 5 minutes was completely wasted on reading out names. Somewhat a moot point, as it's likely this situation won't happen again, but I can't help but think that that could have been done better. * I can't help but feel that community news should come after remix reviews, not before. * Weekly Review and Cyan_Ide for the win. * The die returns, and while it has its charm, I don't think its really necessary to make the process seethrough. Just do the random crud before the show, and know what it is you're going to play before recording. * Hahaha, you called Compyfox a jackass! * Please please please get a less gay intro. All in all business as usual. Better than what I remembered (apart from the obvious lack of remix reviews). Might I suggest tweaking the format around a little bit? Naturally you don't have to take my suggestions, but (obviously) I think they'd be worth considering.

[20 February 22:51:51] Xerol Oplan: you gonna do an AIM chat since ETG is down? [20 February 22:51:53] Xerol Oplan: or just no chat [20 February 22:52:24] > AIM it is, then VGF RETRO Hearken back to a time where people spoke in brown, bold, and italic text. Those were the days, when Jim Holland rules the airwaves, and Mustin was actually entertaining.

Two things: * Is there a show tonight? * Larry, did you get that thing I sent ya?

Cute. We do these things irl XD Damn straight. Wierdos. Damn straight. And it's "weirdos," to you, bubba. pwnt.As per usual, D-Lux

And some tracks can be combined into a medley, eg. battle theme and fanfare. Which could possibly also be used to sneak a short remix of the sleep theme. I guess some of this could be a misunderstanding. I distinctly remember you saying you wanted to cover at least 2/3 of the soundtrack. Like you said, there's a huge difference between, for sake of argument, 40 and 90. 60 is around two thirds.

If you're going to do this, please please do ALL the soundtrack, not just most of it (although little jingles such as the sleep theme aren't necessary). If you ask me there's no point making a project span more than two discs (which I think with the average length of remixes 35 tracks will just exceed) when remixing the whole sound won't take THAT much more effort. Like you've said, if you're gonna get it done, you've gotta get it done GOOD. Remixer list is a very good start. And despite all my #vgf showboating last night over how this project isn't necessary I wish you luck.

That was the first time I heard Rexy on the air. I swear she sounded Australian. And scary

It's kinda sad that it takes a connection to furries for this track to grab my attention Fantastic remix. The almost freestyle sounding playing of the piano is beautiful, and it's nice to hear that sort of thing in a mix where it's not absolutely necessary. And that fused with the base of the song makes this one of my top 50 tracks on this site.
