  1. Because someone (Konami) already has remixed it and it rocked

    Turning an epic, vivid and inspiring tune into something that depresses the hell out of me.

    That's not to say it's a bad remix, but nevertheless, I'd like to hear a cover that retains the original feel enough to not make me want to kill myself.

  2. I can't help but feel that some of these choices were influenced by the popularity of the track and the game itself rather than how good the music is.

    I mean, really, the Super Mario Bros. theme? Sure, it's pretty catchy and more or less everyone who plays video games knows it, but is it actually that great a piece of music in and of itself? I certainly don't find it as impressive as Wily 2, for instance.

    Maybe I'm just bitter that Calling from Heaven isn't on there anywhere, though. Why has nobody remixed that yet?

  3. Is Ed,Edd,and Eddy gone as well?

    Apparently the folks who make it are focusing on creating an Ed Edd n Eddy movie at the moment, and as such there are no plans for another series of the cartoon "at this time".

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though. Hopefully CN will bring it back in full force once they actually have some new content to show again.

  4. CN obviously have no idea how to run a network. I found that out when they "revamped" Dexter's Laboratory and took Ed, Edd and Eddie out of the culdesac.

    Did they take it off the air completely over there?

    We still get reruns of it at hours that no sane parent would allow their child to stay up until, which I suppose is somewhat justifiable in that they're probably not likely to give a prime time slot to something when all they can show is repeat episodes.

    Also, it's Eddy you unwashed heathen.

  5. Personally, I'd much rather hear a brand new take on a song rather than an untouched composition with some soundfonts and a drumtrack

    Being too conservative can be boring and being too liberal can fall apart in a lot of cases, but getting into a nice groove between both can result in some top notch remixes, especially when they take the original feel and turn it into something completely new

    If we didn't challenge ourselves as remixers like that, not much would be accomplished

    I never said otherwise.

    I'm just saying it seems a bit silly to condemn someone for "imposing standards on others" and yet praise this site for doing just that.

  6. no dark lines on, well, anything, and the characters definitely didn't spend the entire episode looking at each other. (hello, DBZ)

    To be fair, that's was mostly a combination of the facts that:

    1) Taking a comic and putting it directly into a 30 minute episodic cartoon format is a tricky business overall, and

    2) Half the time the cartoon was actually ahead of the comic and they didn't know what was supposed to happen, so they had to keep drawing things out.

    (I mean, billy and mandy? WTF lol)

    It's odd that you should choose this one as an example here. I'm under the impression that Billy and Mandy is held to be one of the few gems remaining in the fetid heap of feces that comprises most of CN's line-up today.

    I'm holding out for the return of Ed Edd 'n' Eddy, personally.

  7. Remix songs yourself if you're so smart but don't impose your standards on other people, ESPECIALLY if it's on a site like ocremix where

    standards are imposed on other people?

    I mean, I'm not condemning the system or anything, but they are. If a song is too close to the original source material ("This isn't a remix, it's a cover!") or too distanced from the original source material or too short or too long or too big or whatever then it doesn't get in.

    If you're going to submit anything to this site then you need to be prepared to have its standards imposed upon you.

  8. Well, if this game were somehow get through everything that one might feel is against it, and turn out to be a decent fighter, here'd be a line up of 16 I'd like to see...

    DC                          MK

    Coop.

    Dude.

    Where's Kung Lao.

    WHERE THE HELL IS KUNG LAO.

    MINUS ONE HUNDRED POINTS.

  9. yeah I do not believe that this is physically possible without damaging the human body

    But don't you know? WE'RE ALREADY BEING DAMAGED.

    EVERY TIME YOU PLUG AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE, EVEN IF IT ISN'T ON, EVEN IF YOU DON'T FLIP THE SWITCH AT THE MAINS, IT RELEASES HARMFUL ELECTROMAGNETIC JUJU THAT CAUSES CANCER AND SYPHILLIS.

  10. They're probably just lying because they don't want to seem "uncool" for liking something as nerdy as video game remixes or whatever. The ones who liked the music until they found out what it was certainly are. £10 says that as soon as they got home they desperately started searching for the website or the song itself, created a new folder in their music library, marked it as "Hidden" and downloaded each and every track in the OCR library into it while weeping softly over their secret shame.
