List updated, even included a few Facebook donors. Does anyone want to take a stab at making a "Support OCR Month" sig for this year? I have the one from last year, but it says 2010 and I'm really really bad at editing stuff.

Well, those are the games that the Wii is known by and large for. I'm sure there are decent games on it, but to me it just looks like they're catering to a different crowd. Again, they're selling tons and tons of stuff, so I'm not sure it could be said that they "dropped the ball" or anything, I just don't think they're shooting to please people like me lately.

Are you playing on the OCR or OCAD server Brad? Also, I'm still around, I've been playing a little bit on DannyB's server again, but I'll be bouncing between the two. I'm really trying to convince him to install Minecraft Mania

fixed that for ya

I wonder if this new console will affect the suicide rate of the employees who manufacture it... On subject, I've just never been particularly impressed by the Wii's games. I dunno, what are say, the top 10 best selling games on the Wii anyway? I bet I have mild interest at best on any of them. Actually, let's see if that's true: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games#Wii Yeah, I'm pretty apathetic about all the games on there. If there was a scale of 1 - 5 that looked like the following, I'd probably be sitting right around a 3 for most of them. 1 - you will NEVER play this game 2 - you probably won't play this game 3 - you don't care if you ever play it or not 4 - you have some interest to play this game 5 - you will DEFINITELY play this game at some point So I don't put a particularly great deal of faith in Nintendo's ability to wow me with their consoles lately. But that's just me. Apparently they're appealing to a lot of other people so whatever, good for them, I'll just stick to Steam for now for my games.

More on this later, but we're working on getting some more shirts in

Thanks everyone, I'll update the OP soon so I can put you guys on the "thank you!" list. You guys rock, we're off to a great start!

*UPDATE* ALL GOALS EXCEEDED!! *************** Original Post Hi, Everybody! In a slight break of protocol, we are officially kicking off our annual Support OCR Month! Normally we dedicate all of April to this event, but since we're getting a late start, we're going to carry this over into May this year. It’s been an eventful year for everybody, both inside and outside OCR, but especially inside of it. We now go live, to the mixpost by David “djpretzel” Lloyd, our reporter in the field (and also site founder). You heard the man, more music than ever is flowing out of the site, reaching more and more fans, and yet our stream of supporters has dwindled to the smallest it’s seen since I kicked off our first fundraiser back in 2008. In addition to churning out tons of music releases and ReMix posts, DJP and many of the OCR staff members have been continuing their hard work on various back-end tasks pertaining to the site that aren’t necessarily outwardly visible, but constitute a ton of work. Meanwhile, the site continues to incur standard operating costs (which are kind of a lot), not to mention things like physical album prints and merchandise to stock our store with. Per my usual tendency to post statistics, this site has 33,700+ registered members, which is a small percentage of the ~170,000 unique hits per month from those as well as unregistered members. And that’s not counting our thriving social network hits across Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm and YouTube. We’re getting a lot of hits, and it’s awesome. We want to keep it that way. We want to keep providing great hosting of great content available to music and video game lovers all over the globe. Last year I didn’t actually set a goal to reach, but this year I’m upping the ante to match our 2009 goal (which was not only met but EXCEEDED) back to $5,000. Donate via PayPal HERE. The economy is recovering, late filers (like myself) are being blessed with tax returns (thanks to the Making Work Pay credit, woohoo!) and once again, we’re releasing more great music than ever! We’ve released several amazing projects in the past year, and have a ton more on deck for the near future, we’re attending more and more conferences and conventions to spread the word on video game music appreciation, and we always have plenty of new and exciting things in the works. Help us continue to keep the site not only alive, but thriving! We’ve had several donations in the past from generous individuals in amounts as high as $500, which is amazing, but considering the sheer quantity of visitors we have, if everybody just chips in $5-10, we’ll hit our $5k goal in no time. And as always, if you’re just prefer not to make a donation, that’s cool too. Remember, we have our Amazon and Zzounds.com affiliation links, PLUS OC ReMix shirts & hoodies available from our store. No amount is too large or too small, and every amount earns not only our deepest appreciation, but the assurance that you’re helping this community continue to grow! Love, Big Giant Circles & The OCR Staff (known) CONTRIBUTORS(If I happen to overlook anyone, let me know!) Shawn Wrenn Jedi_Trooper Several anonymous donors (you know who you are!)

hey, is there any way to change the server name to something like www.ocrminecraft.com or something? I've played on a couple servers that had actual names instead of IP's, and it would just make going back and forth (as I sometimes do) much easier. If not, n/p, I'll just keep CTRL+C/V ing it in.

*bumpity bump*

Where is this glowhouse you speak of? Also, to lighten the mood and distract everyone, here's a bunch of lions yelling "HEY!"

you know, for some reason I feel like you and JJT should collab on a vocal mix now. love the panning on the vocals.

*big giant circles likes this*

no way, that is amazing!

It probably is, b/c Guile is all over the original music

Someone bake these men a meat cake!

Ark Music Factory is probably the best place to look for good information about how a quality music label is run.

Despite Abadoss's obviouis malicious attempts to cripple the server with his uberh4x, I will re-vouch for him.

Snagged this the other day and forgot to listen to it until just now, this stuff sounds great dude! *edit* that you singing dude?

There was a dead animal in the nest earlier and the mama was feeding the chicks pieces of it. nature is very interesting

happy birthday dude! congrats on your recent engagement also! :B

So right this second the eagle is feeding her chicks if anyone is quick enough to hop on

Lately I have this feeling that the movie will slaughter at the box office, but ultimately tank on the quality-o-meter. I hope to be mistaken, but I just don't really put much faith initially in super hero movies anymore. I really liked Wolverine Origins, but for that one good movie, seems like we've had to climb over a pile of mediocre ones...

I prefer DI and a mic for recording. But for playing live, I usually just go DI.

Looks super nice, and the price is great. Cutaway body is preferred, but not essential. That one doesn't seem to have a built in pickup though...
