Here's what I've been up to... - Getting further along on my album. I've got five songs done being written and ready for mixing, I've got three that are pretty far along, and I've got two that I'm just getting started on. I'd probably be damn-near done by now with the writing part, but I hit a stretch of "meh" and a lack of inspiration for about a month. But I'm getting the vibe again and making good progress over the last few days. I'm still aiming for a Winter 2015 release. - Still working on my novels. The rough draft of the first one's done and copywritten (1000+ pages), and the second one's rough draft is finally getting close to being done (2100+ pages). Once it's done, it'll get that copywritten and then I can get started on part III (it's a trilogy). - Working on the story for the next 'Twas poem. I've got the gist of it, but the specifics aren't in place for me to start with the rhyming yet. - Working on coming up with an idea for the next An OverClocked Christmas album cover. I've got a few ideas, but nothing that's really grabbed me by the balls and screamed "USE ME!" as of yet. Maybe I'll go really obscure this time for the game to use... - Working on concepts and such for ship designs, stage designs, story (which is done), boss ideas, and so forth. I'm making a shmup, and I'll be doing all of the art, sound effects and music (I've got five songs far along for the game using a Genesis/early 90s arcade vibe and sound), while using a program that'll handle the bulk of the coding (thank God). It's a long way off, but I've got the bug to give it a try.

So uuuuhhhhhh... can I give "Big Boss" a try, or is this invite-only?

We're on a website that's dedicated to adults making big deals about video games and video game music from their childhood. It really shouldn't be a shock to you that cartoons would follow suit, especially in light of how many 80s cartoons have been getting the Hollywood treatment (and thoroughly butchered in the process in some cases). And if you're going to puke, do it quietly and in the designated barf bags that can be found at the entrance and exit of each thread.

One doesn't need to be a fan of the show to see how fubar this rendition of it is.

Around since 1977, and basically considered the "Polish Black Sabbath," Mech did the ending song for the game Painkiller. There's definitely an Ozzy resemblance in their sound and singing. I just wish I could understand their lyrics.

I can't be the only one here who's heard this melody. At one point, I thought this might be from an Electric Light Orchestra song, or maybe even something disco-ish, but I don't know. But I can't help but think it was either actual violins, or a synth that was violin-like, used in the song.

Yes, I'm back again. So far, I'm batting 500 with this kind of thing over the last year. The first hunt was successful ("Jessica" by the Allman Brothers as Rexy said), and the second fell flat (no matches anywhere). I'm hoping to get bumped up to a .666 average with this one. So yeah, here's my third one. It's been in my head for a few days, and it is incredibly familiar... so much so that I'm certain I should know it well. So, here's a link to the music file... https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3s9mr4j2n1xb5i/unknown_song_3.mp3?dl=0 I'm 99% certain it's not a game tune, and that it's a published and well known song that features this little melody in it. A part of me wants to link it to a piece of some rockish song, where the melody is used before a verse or something, but I'm not sure. Either way, it's driving me nuts. I've tried Midomi (it can record the music playing from my DAW, which I didn't know) and Musipedia, but they came up empty (Musipedia had lots classical matches, but none of them seemed right). Can anyone identify this bit of music? Pweeeeeaaaaase?

Sing sing. Chernabogue got a little frisky with Catie, and ol' Andrew Cuomo doesn't like it when guys get touchy with his niece.

I'm pretty sure it was the Stage 1 theme from Ghouls 'N Ghosts. I wanted to learn it on my little half-sized K-mart keyboard, and so already had to kind of remix it a little. There were others like the Stage 1 theme from Altered Beast and the ending song from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest that were done the same way around the same time, but I think it was the G'nG game that got me into it all first. Though, to be honest, it was after I heard "Into the Deep Blue Sky" (BGM 6) from Master Of Monsters that I really tried in earnest to make a piano-only remixed version of a more complicated tune.

No need to apologize. Everyone knows that this movie's going to be so far from good, that it'll take the light from "good" a thousand years to reach it.

This doesn't look like Jem, it looks more like a bad and generic Hallmark movie of the week. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I don't think I will be from what I saw.

Civil War "Bay Of Pigs" Their "thing" is writing songs that deal with wars and such, with a lead singer who sounds like a 50/50 blend of Ronnie James Dio and Kevin DuBrow. Not the best stuff I've ever heard, but it's not bad either. And here's Powerwolf's latest, "Army Of The Night." Ignore the lyrics on the screen, as there are quite a few spots that are wrong. Better listen to it before it gets yanked... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeXGA-cr3dQ

I can't speak for anyone else, but my track ended up being less of a remix, and more of an original work. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was about 90% original, and had very little in it from the source track that would have helped anyone recognize it. Hell, I had a friend listen to it who's very familiar with the SNES game, and they couldn't tell it was supposed to be a remix of "The Submerged City." So, rather than starting completely over (which I hate doing) and tying the track up, I figured it was best that I step aside.

Strapping Young Lad "AAA" from the album "City" (It's not Heavy Metal, it's Devy Metal) Powerwolf "Cardinal Sin" from the album "Preachers Of The Night" (Power Metal) Orden Ogan "F.E.V.E.R." from the album "Ravenhead" (Power Metal)

I see that I have a new PM waiting for me from 2002. ...

I know I sent a new WIP a few days ago, but fresh WIPs were just sent.

Two year old- "Fuckle you, Daddy!" **giggles** Father- "Aaaawwwww, my baby's first swear word... and her first grounding." Mother- "Save it for when she's older. She doesn't know any better right now, but we can keep a tally on how many days she'll be grounded right after her 12 birthday." Father- "Good idea." **hears daughter saying "fuckle" repeatedly to the cat** "Though at this rate, she'll be grounded 'till she's 29."

FUCK YEAH TO THAT IDEA! **gets to work**

I wonder if there'll be a mass exodus over anything lost, or the changes. Let's watch!

I don't own a DS of any kind, so...

Dug this up from a somewhat similar thread that was made a while back... For me, one of the standout soundtracks back in the day was the one for Master of Monsters. While I'm sure some would still call it "background music" for various reasons, virtually the entire soundtrack has an orchestrated structure to it that makes it feel like more than some catchy diddy done to keep the game from being quiet. Whether it's the haunting and solemn " ," the opening march of " " that was getting you ready for battle, or the sinister and impending ," the whole soundtrack felt like something made more for cinematic punctuation, rather than to be hummed as you played. All of the songs also run the gamut of moods, from upbeat and almost playful, to sad, to dark and brooding, to inspiring.Hayato Matsuo did one hell of a job with his debut soundtrack.

It'll be released on 4-20-2016, and every ticket comes with a free blunt to help get everyone into the show's proper state of mind.
