Bahamut Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you are going to make fun of my accidents, and pretty much call me a dumbass, move it to another thread please. So if you can't take criticism, people are not allowed to point it out? That sounds incredibly unreasonable. I've had my newbie days around here too where I've made stupid posts, but I never went "OH QUIT YOUR BITCHING AT MY STUPIDITY". Plus I'm a moderator here now - from a moderator viewpoint, criticism is relevant to a thread too. If I did the very same thing, I'd have no right to complain about anyone calling out what I did and expect to be in the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimgak Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 To be honest, if it were not for OCReMix, I would probably not be half (or at least one third) the person I am now. OCReMix gave me some of the best music I've put on my mp3 player, which has influenced my life in a huge way. It also introduced me to a bunch of nice people who enjoy music as much as I do, and I know that I can always come to the forums for music help. Without OCReMix I probably would not even be making music right now because I would not know about Fruity Loops. Thank you djpretzel!

Gafgarion Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hey there's no reason to be so mean to me, I didn't say anything before this! I have feelings too you know. It wasn't directed toward you at all. OCR makes me happy, you know? It reminds me of FFT, and a couple years ago, when I was breaking out of my geek shell. So much stuff went on in my sophomore year, including joining this forum, which I thought OCR was so amazing to have a forum. When I listen to an OCR, I just want to freakin play a game, like FFT. I can't even explain... It just made me freakin happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I dunno, I think OCR is pretty solidly within the geek shell. But at least you have company, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rod Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 OCR has really exposed me to the music beyond my favorite radio stations....it showed me genres that I never knew existed. Ultimately, it made me into a musician, literally starting from having no musical knowledge when I made my profile here nine months ago to where I am now.....and most important to me, it showed me the comraderie and brotherhood that can exist in online communities...Ive made a few very close friends off OCR. So in short, it made me a more talented and more experienced person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sil Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Arranging game music here has given me the opportunity to use practices and clichés in my music that I would never have been allowed to show to my professors. All that did is serve to make me a better orchestrator and arranger, and all that did is serve to make me a better composer overall. Plus, the feedback is pretty good too.

I dunno, I think of geek as antisocial - being a part of OCR doesn't make you antisocial . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenobio Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 geekSlang. –noun 3. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken. This particular definition fits the OCR denizens pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMage Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I dunno, I think of geek as antisocial - being a part of OCR doesn't make you antisocial . No Bahamut, OCR is definitely geeky. That's not a bad thing though. Ok, obviously in some aspects it is, but that's what the thread Maha set up is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gafgarion Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I would say OCR is more nerdy than geeky by far. Nerds are better gamers than geeks are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hale-Bopp Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 OCR, in many ways, has relieved me of a lot of stress, which in turn has led me to have more consistent bowel movements and firmer stool. Thanks, OCR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I've always considered the two to be synonymous. I've always considered nerds to be average people with interests and priorities devoted in the tech/gaming/learning fields. Geeks are similar but find difficulty in regular social interaction. Unsure and uncomfortable with themselves. Basically, you can't pick a nerd out on the street, and when a geek brushes arms with someone else, they retract all body parts without emotion and shuffle off like a crab.
