A shining example of true objectivity.

Decoy: NES and SNES music is the music I grew up with, so I tend to be a bit of a purist when it comes to VGmusic rearranging. For this reason, I tried to use a lead synth that sounded like the one in the game.
I completely respect that.
However, my initial response when I listened to this is that it sounded a bit amateurish. I'm not saying that to insult you or anything. I just think that your "lead synth" needs to be honed down. I don't want to be distracted thinking it sounds like a MIDI, I want to be thinking that it's an aural reference to the SNES.
I wish I could offer you offer you some more clearer criticism. I am not, however, well versed in any form of music. But keep up the good work, you've got something worth pursuing here.

The links to ReMixing, WIP - OC ReMixes, and Judges Decisions look like they're the links to the previous forums.

Unfortunately, I don't think that this is "OCR done".
I dig what you've done here (I wish more people would try their hand at the TMNT4 soundtrack) but I don't think it would be accepted as an OverClocked Remix.
The first problem that I see is that it sounds a bit too MIDI-ish (especially the beginning of the song). The drums and the electric guitar at the end are great... but I think the other instruments could use something more.
Secondly, I'm not so sure you've taken enough liberties from the original composition. It's kinda just a direct cover of the original song with some extra solo sections. I think you should try to give the guitar solos a bit more emphasis.
On the plus side, I think the last 1:20 of the song is just great. Like I said, I love that electric guitar.
With a bit more of your own personal interpretation of the song, you could have something to submit here.

Anyone remember when Mr. Garrison used the word 'nigger' at the end of the Season 05 episode, Here Comes The Neighborhood?
Mind you, in a great use of comedic timing, the episode ended mid-word... but it was there nonetheless.

300 only has a 61% at rottentomatoes.com.
I think I'll go see Zodiac instead.

It's an incredible feat keeping a show fresh after ten seasons. I'm not joking when I say Matt and Trey are two of my heroes.
I second that.
If you had told me I would still be watching South Park in 2007 some nine years ago, I would have thought it impossible. It didn't seem like the show could have a long shelf life. But Matt and Trey have managed to change the show with the times and kept it current, relevant, clever, and entertaining.
The Simpsons, by comparison, were a pale shadow of their former self by seasons 10 and 11.

Good episode. I was thinking "Niggers" for that puzzle at the beginning too. I couldn't think what else it could possibly be.
You and me both. I guess we're just hopeless racists.
Honestly, though, how often do we ever refer to anyone as a "nagger"? And, beyond that, no one ever uses it in plural form.

South Park. Season 11. Tonight!
The episode synopsis:
1101 - With Apologies to Jesse Jackson
New cases of people using the “N” word are on the rise. While the citizens of “South Park” must contend with the widespread use of the racial slur, Cartman fights a midget.

I bought the DVDs. Watched the first disc last night.
It's really not that good of a show. The writing is poor (even for a children's show), the animation is choppy at times, and the writers obviously never played the games they amalgamated.
I mean, Metroid is a lifeform... not a goddamn planet.
I don't think this show received any unfair criticism. It's a half-assed effort.
-
YES! Thank you! Thank you so much! I love this song, especially in 8-Bit form!
I have to admit, I'm glad you brought this up.
I hadn't heard this cover and I'm rather enjoying it!
-
Everyone aware that South Park Season 11 begins on Wednesday? And that Season 9 is on DVD Tuesday?
It's about time this thread get active again!
-
I just Googled the title... I got THIS.
That what you want?

That's a hell of a long time to wait to get married. 18 months?
Usually when you get engaged, it's 6 months.
Really..? I know plenty of people who have waited between one and two years from proposal to marriage.
-
There's no point if I haven't played the game.
I dunno. Listening to some soundtracks have inspired me to go out and play the game. I did this both with Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Shadow of the Colossus. The soundtracks were so good that I went out of my way to buy the games.
-
Aside the director reputation, this may be the turnaround though I feel he's only lucky with this cause POSTAL is so open-ended in plot and dialogue, even some 8-year old dumbass could direct this movie.
Hahahaha MaliceX, you're a moron...
Uh, were we all watching the same trailer? I see have absolutely no hope in that movie.Inimitable, you are not.
-
Why does Snake need to be played by a known, big name actor?
-
Steven Segal needs to be in this film
I have to assume that people suggesting Steven Segal, Chuck Norris, etc. need to be in a MGS movie are joking around.
Otherwise, they're being asinine like it's nobody's business.
-
Ah yes, we could finally see the terrifying Zanzibar Land radioactive mutant hampster...
Hahaha There are weirder things is the MGSverse!
-
Perhaps it could cover part of the story of the MSX games? That's the one era we have yet to see in any sort of accurate detail, aside from the previous missions text in MGS1.
That's a great idea, actually!
-
Kojima already said Boll will be nowhere near a MGS film.
I'm stoked about this. I love metal gear so much.... with Kojima involved it can be great.
Or... even with Kojima involved it could still be ass.
There's a problem when brilliant men from one medium attempt to create in another. Their brilliance does not always translate.
It would be best not get your hopes up.
-
Eh; WHEN it sucks, I have Project Snake to fall back on.
And this probably means more Harry Gregson Williams awesomeness.
There we go. Corrected.

If they're going for a continuity thing, there won't be a game between OoT and WW. As according to WW there wasn't another hero after the Hero of Time left, and thats why the place was flooded. Since they couldn't seal evil with a hero, they resorted to using that flood to do it. Unless for some horrible reason they make a zelda game where you don't play as Link.
How about a Zelda game where you get to play as Ganondorf? Huh?! Any takers?
-
This is one seriously bitchin' mix.
Aye. My sentiments exactly.
I don't want to overemphasize the Metroid Prime vibe to this song... but I hear it. And I dig it.
You did something good here.
