Patrick Burns Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm curious Please respond with the appropriate number (regarding remixes posted on OCR) 1 I listen to most songs posted these days, regardless of the game or artist 2 I listen to a song only if I know the game/series music or if I like the artist (mostly) 3 other (explain) I must admit I fall into the number 2 category. Yes, I am a bona fide piece of shit, and I'm curious as to how many other people are (generally). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 1, but that almost goes without saying. I feel anyone who has any other listening habit at OCR other than option 1 misses out on a lot of good, free stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Burns Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 1, but that almost goes without saying.I feel anyone who has any other listening habit at OCR other than option 1 misses out on a lot of good, free stuff. I have to agree, but I cant deny my habits. Ironically, I'm listening to Mark Vera's Medieval Magic track as I write now. It's one of my favs, but I've never played the game Wizardry. I only know of it because I heard it on your show, but I was only listening to the show for the prot interview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 1 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 3 I'm a non-conformist I choose them at random. In fact, I find myself LESS likely to listen to it if I know the game, and even the artist in some cases (but I rarely look at the artist anyways: too many new musicians coming out )(which is a good thing, of course).

Dhsu Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm trying to move towards 1. I might avoid a remix if it's from a game I know I'll play eventually. But if it's some obscure source like Revolution X or Shivers I'll be more likely to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Adams Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'd have to go with option one. I give everything that's posted a listen, but I'm very picky when it comes to actually keeping ReMixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Jarna Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2, although I've been slowly moving up the scale towards 1. That recent-ish remix of Wizards n' Warriors (it had longjohns in the title) made me realize that even if I've never played them some games have good music. Well, the re-realization, anyways.

Artesu Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 3 Usually I base my decision on the writeup; after I have a good idea of what the mix has to offer. Some of my favorite remixes are actually from games I've never played. I really should listen to more that's posted though..I know I'm probably missing out on some epix.

anosou Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 1 for everything posted nowadays. 2 for the rest. I feel the quality standards have risen to a level where, for the most part, the new remixes are enjoyable as a standalone piece of music, regardless of nostalgic reasons.

Antipode Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 2 for me. Every so often (I've found it's about one per month or two) there's a song that I actually enjoy quite a bit and actually save to relisten to. But as for all the others that I download and check out once, I'd definitely go with #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I never played Star Control 2 and never heard of Marc Vera until 'Lightyears Away', but I gave it a listen and it was amazing. Then I downloaded everything else from Marc Vera and it was a wonderful experience (never played the other games he covered too). I would choose n. 3, but I am not a number. I am a man.

I feel the quality standards have risen to a level where, for the most part, the new remixes are enjoyable as a standalone piece of music, regardless of nostalgic reasons. Pretty much. If I had been a two, I would've missed awesomely creative mixes like Dark Butz, Tragedy of a Bullet, Larry's Funky House of Lowe, Last Night a DJ Kidnapped Mallow, and Yellow Valkyrie, to name a few off the top of my head. I still haven't really perused the entire OC library, though. Mainly because it's kind of harder to enjoy the older remixes sans nostalgia (by old, I mean 2000-2001.)

Vivi22 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm kind of floating between 1 and 2. I suppose I lean more towards 2, but I try to read the writeup for just about everything at least to see if it sounds interesting. I also occasionally go diving through the pages of old remixes to see what I can find, regardless of what game it's in, who remixed it, or how old it is. I've found some gems that way.

Yuiopdude Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I was going to say 2, because that's what I look for when I come here... But then I realized I'm more of a one seeing as I spent an entire day going from A-Z by games and listening to whatever sounded cool (didn't make it past L or M, I forget which) Now thinking about it though, I'm more a 3, I'm picky with the songs that I know how they should sound, so it pretty much has to be almost perfect for me to pick it up. But if it's a song from a game that I don't know and I listen to them, I don't know how they should sound, so if it's in my taste I usually pick it up. I make avid use of the ReMix roulette at the bottom of the home page, just to hear something new (unless they're all songs I've heard before), if it's cool/interesting/different, and I don't know the game, I might pick it up.

quoda Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 2 I like to recognize what I'm hearing. However, I've found gems outside the 2 category from the torrents and my iPod on shuffle all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I fall under 2, but I occasionally pull a 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
