This is your second Mega Man compo, and you still haven't even played one? At least play Mega Man 2 or 3

Didn't Flame Man get banned from the forums?

So, how does this work? Is there some kind of gentlemen's agreement that Brandon always gets Splash Woman?

Hellz yes. You ALL better deliver!! EDIT: Seriously, though, participation is a big deal. If participation is bad enough (not just in this competition, but in any competition), Darke may not be motivated to administer them in the future, which would really, really suck.

Great, now I have to buy a Wii U

Well, it was inspired by the Archie Comic series http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=916850#916850

Fuckin' squirrels. I left my car windows open last month in my own driveway (cuz it was nice out). An hour later, I get into my car, and I hear some rummaging in the backseat. I immediately jump out and run around the other side of the car to see a squirrel climb out of the window and dash away. I look into the backseat to see that the squirrel had chewed through the plastic of a tube of my son's mini M&M's THAT WERE STILL SEALED. The M&M's were almost completely gone, and there were bits of plastic all around the backseat of the car. Fuckin' squirrels.

Star Trek II is an apt example (in more ways than one). A major plot point of that movie is about how Kirk believes himself better than death. How he was able to beat the "no-win scenario" by cheating, and that Kirk simply didn't believe in the "no-win scenario." By the end of the movie and Spock's death, Kirk realizes that he "knows nothing:" "I've cheated death, tricked my way out of death, and patted myself on the back for my ingenuity. I know nothing." He makes the realization that there ARE no-win scenarios, and this time, his friend paid with his life for his arrogance. Despite the flashy ship battles in Star Trek II (tame by today's standards), most of the action occurs between the people, and inside of the people. This is true for most Star Trek films (the latter two being obvious exceptions). Star Trek was always about a humanist exploration of not only space but of the human condition and all of its possibilities. The resolutions found at the end of TV episodes were not as much "oh good, we saved the world/galaxy/universe," as much as it was a resolution or exploration of a major moral/ethical question. The new Star Trek films have shot that aspect out the airlock and opted for more a "big explosions in space" approach. It certainly sells movie tickets, but it is a great perversion of Star Trek's roots. There's nothing inherently wrong with liking the new Star Trek movies. But as Cerrax pointed out, they are terrible at carrying on the Star Trek legacy.

Yeah, remember when gaming was for nerds, not jocks?

Speaking of "Mega Water S", the trio (Buster Rod G, Hyper Storm H, and Mega Water S) all appear in Sonic Universe #52 as part of "Team Genesis". http://images.wikia.com/archiesonic/images/1/15/SU_52.jpg

False. Those are significant factors in the "fair use" defense. It's not going to stop your videos from getting flagged, but in litigation, you would almost certainly prevail.

Okay, now we just need two more. Who's up for it??

I wasn't saying it thinking of her skill level at all. Just that there was some drama before that I think she's referencing that she would like to avoid, but if she didn't care whether she won or lost, it would be easy to avoid this time around.

If you are entering with the hope/expectation of winning, then, yes, you will likely be disappointed (not because of any lack of skill, but because how these things turn out is so random sometimes that it's impossible to predict). If you want to just have fun and make lots of mixes, then you totally should join. All of my good ideas come from comic books. http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=916850#916850

Just do it. C'mon. Just do it

Oh man, that would be so awesome. Other people should reply and also say yes!

I got so scared playing the Kislev Sewers level in Xenogears for the first time. It was 2 a.m., right after the game came out. Soooo freaky when that thing was watching at you and you had no idea what the hell it was. Then it attacks you and it wasn't so bad after all (and it's actually kind of sad when you get to the Orphanage and you find out the whole story about the thing). Anyhow, kind of lame, but that's when I remember being the most scared by a game.

Like I said, I don't have the time to run the compo, I just wanted to throw the idea out there. Hope someone can pick this one up, though!

An idea occurred to me one night. Archie Comics publishes a Mega Man title and a few Sonic the Hedgehog titles, and they currently doing a crossover event with the two universes. Coincidentally, Mega Man and Sonic games have been the two subjects of competitions here on OCR, and the idea just popped into my head of doing a similar one-off, crossover-type competition involving both Mega Man and Sonic. It could be structured in the same way as other Mega Man compos and the other Sonic compos were: tournament style elimination. But each contestant could pick a Robot Master AND a Sonic Zone, and then alternate each week so that each remix was a combination of a Robot Master's theme and a Sonic Zone theme (e.g. Bubble Man in Starlight Zone, Sheep Man in Sky Sanctuary, etc). To be fair, I wouldn't be able to run the compo. I am way to busy right now. But I just wanted to float the idea out there, and if doesn't get any traction, so be it.

I have a son who will be two at the end of the month, and I am expecting a girl at the end of April. One of my son's first words was "Mario" because he liked watching my Super Mario Sunshine screensaver so much.

I just said the same thing!
