The Coop

We've all been wondering that for years.

Mine's a reference to Radiant Silvergun on the Sega Saturn. Y'all just got served, yo!

I did! SO STOP PRESSURING ME! **sobs**

Darksiders 2

Sorry to hear about all the work that got taken out of the spotlight. That sucks after all the work that was done.

Wow. First S-E gets involved with the FFVI kickstarter until the issues with that got resolved, and now all S-E characters are removed from the site mascot lineup. Looks like someone got their knickers in a twist over at Squenix. Thankfully, they didn't bring up the removal of anything else.

Sleeping Dogs

I would honestly be surprised if Dyne didn't do a v.6 this year... especially since I'm already working on my "We Three Kings" remix for it. Oh, and here's a link to the previous five albums... http://www.obtusemusic.net/OCR_Christmas/index.htm

Steam Roundup

Rapid-fire releases to cash in on an IP's popularity, while only making one or two patches for each release that don't fix all the numerous glitches, errors and issues with the game?

I saved hundreds on my car insurance by switching to OCR. THANKS OCR!

Let's see... I started playing the trumpet when I was in elementary school, and did that for a couple of years. Switched to the French horn, sucked at it, and dropped that like a bad habit. I eventually got a little half-sized Yamaha keyboard from K-Mart, and began learning to play piano versions of some of my favorite video game music (Stage 1 from Ghouls 'N Ghosts, "Rise From Your Grave" from Altered Beast, "Light Song" from Sword of Vermilion, "The Grubby Dark Blue" from Thunder Force III, "Into the Deep Blue Sky" from Master of Monsters, etc.). I never took any lessons, and so never developed a particularly good level of dexterity with my hands when it comes to piano playing. But, I did my best, learning everything by ear and not being able to read a single note on sheet music. It took some time, but I also eventually began writing my own compositions based off of stories I was writing at the time, and recording them (I still have the cassette tapes... not that you young'uns know what they are). From there, I got to tinker with the music program on a friend's Amiga, and had some fun with that. But that only lasted about a year or so, and it would be a while before I touched another music program. Years later, in 2001, I bought a program called Music Creator 2002, and began fooling around with it. It was a lot like the Amiga music program in ways, so it had a familiar, intuitive nature to it. Around the end of that same year, I came across VGMix 1, and learned about remixes (which I'd kind of been doing by playing piano versions of game songs). And around April of 2002, I sat down with that copy of Music Creator 2002, and my old Windows ME Compaq PC, I gave making more in-depth remixes a try... with varying degrees of success as the result. These days, I still write original music using a copy of Music Creator 5, and they're based off of the novels I'm working on. I also continue to do remixes from time to time as well... again, with varying degrees of success. I've yet to learn how to read sheet music, so everything continues to be remixed/composed solely by ear. But hopefully I've managed to produce some music that people on VGMix and OCR enjoyed.

To keep with OCR tradition, the header about the album status should say "Update: Coming Soon(ish)".

I believe that was Invasion of the Neptune Men.

http://the-coop.deviantart.com/gallery/ (wings, armor, BG and sword done by me) What I currently have up on DA. Plenty of sprite editing, and original backgrounds as well. I've done a lot more work than that, but my old site's basically gone, and I'm still trying to find the time to reupload everything.

I can't comment on MW1, as I've never played it. But MW2 is quite good (the graphics are dated obviously, but the gameplay and such are still great), MW3 is OK (better graphics then the previous game, but gameplay seems less fun, and it's missing that spark that MW2 had), and MW4 is quite good (better graphics still, and the enjoyable gameplay is back). MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries is free, not the original MW4, or the "Black Knight" expansion.

Wait... the MechWarrior reboot became MechWarrior Online? So it's just another MMO with no single player aspect?
