This topic has put me off of both games. Good work, everybody!

You better fucking like those gifts. I had to sift through your Steam account, your post history on OCR, and then finally I asked Darkesword for hints. Took me three days of (kinda-sorta) detective work to figure out what you wanted.
Seriously, people: the form on the first page, where you fill out your address, also has this big section for a wishlist.
FILL IT OUT NEXT YEAR, GUYS.
Also, crack those babies open and let's see some action poses, Arrow!
- YoshiBlade, Anorax and Rexy

Ahh, it says Online. Amending that list above.

The references and throwbacks to the original trilogy was done to really connect the new movies to them. Notice how they never said anything about Mitoclorians or the Clone War or Naboo or anything from the prequels?
Ignore that shit, focus on the far better movies, and really emphasize how this new trilogy is not like the shit trilogy. That's the plan.
Hopefully, in the rest of the movies from now on, they tone it down. We got it, JJ. We got it. You did good on that, now just let us enjoy the new universe as it happens.

MERRY STEAM-MAS!!
So, I've got a few extra games in my inventory, gifts from people, stuff I've bought but never installed... and I figure, fuck it. Might as well give them to someone that will actually play them, right? I've already given a few away to some other people on OCR, but I figure it would be easier to do it this way. I've got the following left:
Guns of Icarus Online- I bought a four-pack during a Steam Sale... but I've never been able to get rid of that last copy. Everyone I know has it already (and at least a few of them got it from me in the first place).
Darksiders II: Death Lives - Super hard monster combat with brutal brutality? Not my cup of tea. I like my monsters like I like my women: small, harmles and rendered in sprite format (plus realize that is just a poorly thought out joke)
Rising Storm GOTY Edition - I honestly don't know where this one came from. I'm not into WW2 FPSs. I think there's Nazis in it?
Proteus - A 3D adventure(?) game! With colors! And movement! Maybe sound! But it needs a lot more guns, that shoot things like acid rockets or exploding monster trucks. Maybe some incendiary water balloons would shake it up a bit.
Any one here that wants any of these games, just say so. Everyone on my Steam Friends List has been given what I had and they wanted, so now it's time for anyone that isn't on my list to take a shot.

It's not bad at all, but the thing that OCR likes more variety and style when it comes to the source material.
Try mixing the base melody up a bit more. Maybe add some some sort of background that accompanies it.
It's a good start, now just expand upon it. I can see it going places.

Nah, just send them one of the 3000+ remixes from here, and rename it. No one will notice.

Is it me? If it is, say nothing. If it isn't me, do nothing.

You have to have read the 5-part comic that explains how the lightsabre ended up landing in a cargo hauler that left Cloud City before the Falcon escaped. The cargo hauler landed on another planet, where it was picked up by some Jawa traders that didn't know what it was, were robbed by a bounty hunter looking for Han Solo, and then traded to one of Jabba the Hutt's slave girls on Tatooine (what for, use your imagination). From there, it was passed around over the years until it ended up in Maz's place as part of a payment for a job she was running for someone else.
Her slight Force sensitivity told her it was important, but she didn't know what to do with it until the movie.
Look up the series called Star Wars: Lost and Found. OK, I made all that up. But you looked it up, didn't you?

As soon as the bridge came up, I knew someone was falling off. Harrison Ford speculation aside, I think killing Han Solo was a worthy counter balance to the force.
You know it to be true. Search your feelings.

OK, so now that I've seen it... did Han's death seem really telegraphed to anyone else?
As soon as they were in the same area in the... stupid mcguffin building thing, I know that it was going to result in the death of either Chewie or Han. I guess either Harrison Ford didn't want to be in the movies any more, or they decided to not risk him dying for real (the man is in his 70s at this point).
And I do agree that there were a lot of little references to the original trilogy, like the chess board, the training probe that Luke used on the Falcon back in New Hope, etc... but at least they didn't do the one thing I was actually worried about as I was watching: they fly off to some planet to find the Resistance, and it was a lush world with lots of water... OH GOD DAMN IT, NO, NOT NABOO! But that was quickly avoided, thank you very much.
Yeah, it's got a few too many nods and winks and outright homages to the old moves, but it wasn't bad at all. I went in neutral, and it turned out better than the last three.

I was initially disappointed in the somewhat lower than expected amount of comments and reviews for this album. But after a while I starting to think about it.
Maybe doing an album like this isn't about accolades and praise. Maybe it isn't something we did, so we could pat ourselves on the backs and say "we did it". Maybe it isn't for others to compliment and rate. It isn't a lot of things. But I do know what it is for.
It's for a man that isn't here to listen to it. It's for his fans to reminisce his work. It's for his legacy.
And maybe... maybe that's all it needs to be.

Did you remove the mascots? I can't see them any more.

$300 Time Hat?
Nah, getting The Missingno Tracks out. Several years of waiting and doubting myself and then wondering if it was ever going to be good enough... turns out, people liked it. So I guess it worked out!
-
Update for my Secret Santa recipient: the tracking page says it will be delivered during December 31st to January 22nd.
Thanks, shipping routes.

As far as I am concerned, this was Iwata's daily work theme. Get up early, rock that shower, power that breakfast. Drive that car to work (or limo, I ain't judging), open that office door, command that desk. End song.
Tell me it doesn't work.

I feel like this was a little rushed because of the short time we had to do it, but I really am glad this mini-album turned out so well.
I again want to thank the remixers, Sbeast, k-wix, Brandon, timaeus222, PokerusVGM and Chernabogue, Tuberz McGee and Kroasta for their work (and their ability to put up with my random pushes to get this album done.
Another thanks goes to Odai, our album artist and the man that came up with the title.
Themysteriousassassin gets a thank you as well, for backing me up and pushing the project a few times when I wasn't there to do it myself.
And finally to Liontamer for not only giving the go ahead for such a quick project, but also his support getting it out in time.
I hope everyone enjoys this album. Satoru Iwata had a big impact on the industry, and even though this is just a small sample of the games he was involved in, I really do feel it shows how much we loved his work.
OH MY GOD! We're up on VGMDB!
Yay us!

Congrats to PokerusVGM for his posted remix!

Four years later, this is still one of my favorites.

Nope. Couple years later, and it's still awesome.

Is everyone planning on doing a show-and-tell of what they received? I'm interested to know what kind of plunder everyone got ( if you're will to share such information
) Extra bonus points for presentation of said haul. They're completely worthless outside of the thread, but BONUS POINTS!!
Been out of the loop for almost 10 years

I recommend The Missingno Tracks and Heart of a Gamer albums. I can say without bias and hyperbole that they are totally super cool-awesome, and the crews that put them together are composed up sexy god-spawn. That's at least three times better than regular spawn.
