Less Ashamed Of Self

I love plenty of obscure games... but for some reason the one that comes to mind from this thread title: Jet Grind Radio.

Also with the Stevo bomb on the back. In similar news. White Ninja Comics is going to put this on a shirt. He's just missing the beard.

Just set some clips to music.

Quick post just to say that this is a contender for my favourite mix of 2011. And that's saying something.

Bump. That's a lot of cash.

Not being very helpful as far as reviewing goes... didn't hear the track yet... but Proto what the HELL is up with your song titling?

Wait wait wait... ...you think Brushfire should be louder?

I'll write them a fanfic.

I'll participate if Modus does.

An important and common critique I note of many ocremixes is that melodies feel frequently changed for no good reason. I understand that there needs to be a certain amount of 'originality' to the melodies on OCR so that they're not just 'midi-rips' but I often feel that certain deviations feel forced.... changed for change's sake... a few new notes now dancing aimlessly from where the original had them as if harmonies were so difficult to pull off. My point is that this is NOT what is done with this mix. Any variations on the source tune here feel not only natural, but taken in a great new direction from the original that doesn't once make me feel like questioning if 'it was really necessary'. It all works. From the quick rising chords at 1:20 to the reserved 8-bit effects (another tired cliche at times thank god used well here), to the great harmonies at the end of the bridge, and the modern take on a decrescendo, it's all very apropos. Very much enjoying coming back to this one. It's been on my desktop since it was posted. TAKE NOTE remixers... this is the reinterpretation part of the OCR mission statement DONE RIGHT!

I found it on the whygodwhy.org forums... thanks to Stevo. Who lead whom Dave? Who lead whom?

Also, I was napping listening to episode 60 and I came to to hear Stevo mentioning when he bit Dave's balls off. I'm so proud. :') EDIT: Fukin A' Christmas. Smartball kicked ass.

No one talks about anything interesting in this thread anymo-WHOOPS I dropped something.

I might have more time... Oh yeah, except I'm moving for July 1st. We'll see what I come up with.

So when's ocrmvc5?

REALLY weird seeing my name on the front page. Heh... maybe some day. I was kind of proud of the thread... it just warrants something... external to keep track of it all. I know I've got less time than ever to try and keep something like that up as well. Hell. I wasn't even in the last two OCRMVC's. Jeez. Maybe I need a job that takes less of my life away.

Very incredible stuff. This is a really new spin in a really new direction and I love the crap out of it. Thank you. Plain and simple. Thank you for making this mix; it was very worth the attempt as it is very successful in what it was trying to achieve.

Yeah... um... who is this guy? There must be a backstory.

This was another really good one. The last 3 have all made me lol quite a bit.

Mmmm... wrinkly Voldo...

Said it earlier, I'll say it again. When shirts are back in supply I'll take like 5 and 2 hoodies. Help me help you djp. Help me... help you.

Stevo hard makes me hard.

Serious? Killer. Nice work gentlemen. I'll be watching the game closely. ... Too bad it'll never be as big as minecraft. Still a great platform for your musical careers.

I should really keep my paypal balance higher. I'll put this in my list of: 'Things I would happily impulse buy but will probably wind up forgetting about'
