Rexy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 The People's Remix Competition 118 PRCv5-14 Hello everyone and welcome to the People's Remix Competition! Last fortnight, we saw the development of a Robowarrior related contest and the calling for a multitude of accordions. While the latter didn't quite suffice, there was still a healthy batch of contributions for the compo, and once again Sir Nuts took the prize with his own electronica take on the source tune. Your challenge this week still has its origins on a Nintendo home console cartridge, albeit this time we're moving to the Nintendo 64 and its enhanced 3D graphics of the day. We're also returning to first party franchises too, and this time we're looking at something pink, round, cute and can turn itself into an exploding snowman if it wants to. I chose this as a source tune for this PRC because Kirby 64 rocks, and the OST too. It's probably one of the most overlooked games for the Nintendo 64, and for the whole kirby franchise as well, and I think it deserves more attention. This song has that classic catchiness found in most kirby songs and I bet a lot of people like that. Good luck everyone, and thanks Rexy for the help, as always Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Pop Star MIDI | MP3 | USF (library) Who can't resist the might of one of the sweetest additions to Nintendo's library? I hope this'll be worth a lot of attention, otherwise I'll turn into a curling stone and knock you all over. GOOD LUCK!

DZComposer Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Hmm... Interesting piece. And I'm getting delivery of a new sample library this week..... If time permits, I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Cinq Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Failing to enter Starla's OHC & 90m compo recently has gotten me strumming strings again. Are you guys scared? You should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Bump for great justice! I might squeeze a bonus mix if I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Working on an entry to this, hope I finish it in time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Nin Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 There's less than 19 hours left, but no entries yet. It looks like Sir Nuts' bonus mix may be the only mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Fear not, I'm rendering right now! EDIT: OK, it's uploaded for your listening pleasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Kyle said it right, there's 12 hours left. But you know the drill; if we don't get to at least 3 by the time the deadline comes around, we're going to have to do a little time extension.

Sir_NutS Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Another Sir_NutS' sponsored PRC Bites the dust. I think I have the record now uh? I think next time I'll let someone else pick my songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Erm, your last one was pretty successful. I'll try and make time for a mix. No promise though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Don't say it like that, Nuts. Cloud Man remains one of the hugest successes of the current PRC season so far, so I am really sure this could just be one of those "quiet weeks" again. It's only going to really bite the dust if we get repeats of earlier this season when it was namely a case of "Chickenwarlord vs the world".

Lemonectric Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey, there have been rounds with only one entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think only the Eek The Cat week had only a single entry after extension. It was the wrong song on the SPC too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexy Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Talking of banners, I need to get cracking on Douli's archive piccies and stuff. It's not as if I'm doing much else this weekend, so I'll actually make a start on it, starting with PRC88 O_o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Oh, pardon my ignorance I've been away from PRC for a good while and I thought the contestants flow was good for most of them XD. Sadly I didn't get time to make a mix this time (working overtime all week), but I really wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 The mixing stage is over. Now it's time to get down with the voting! Here's the deal. You're going to click on the ThaSauce link and cast your vote at the bottom of the page. Arrange all three mixes from first to third and state a reasoning with them. Contestants are encouraged to vote as they automatically get 3 points added to their ballot if they do so. The winner of PRC117 (Sir Nuts) has a vote that counts twice, so make sure you impress him just as much as everyone else. You have until Tuesday, April 22nd at 4:59AM EST to cast your vote. The winner will get to choose the source tune for PRC119!

Chickenwarlord Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 There goes my streak . Sorry Mr. Nuts. Anyways, voterated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Cinq Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Sorry I forgot all about this, but at least I voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Let me quickly remind you that you have 8 hours left to make your voting decisions. I'm currently surprised by the voter turnout as we got more than the usual season 5 PRC contest so far; let's see how many we can get before time's up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 No new votes, eh? I suppose we shall move on to the dire conclusion. Who found their way to Rock Star? Who is slowly trailing through Dedede's castle? And who's stuck just fighting a lame Waddle Dee with the useless Fire+Ice combo? Total number of voters - 8 Total number of mixes - 3 Highest possible score - 24 Flexstyle happy danced his way to third place with 12 points. Binweasel got caught for drink-driving and settled for second place with 17 points. And the winner of PRC118 is Rexy with 21 points! Great. Just great. I now have to sit in a dark corner and think up something for this Friday. And to think, I wanted to take some time off with some Mario Kart Wii action... bah. (yay sarcasm) Whichever, I assure you that PRC119 is in safe hands. Even if I wasn't picking the source tune, I echo Sir Nuts's statement in that there were a bunch of awesome works this round. You guys contributed well, and I hope to see you contribute to future contests with your growing work. That said, I'll meet you on Friday for PRC119. Be there!

Binweasel Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Bud ofsisser, Oi whuzn't drivvingk der carrrr... wiv my hands! Shucks, thought I had an extra day to vote. Not that I had much to say except Flexy's rocked and Rexy's was adorable. Adorable. As people were inquiring about the drumming noise: just a little random something thrown on last minute to amuse (mostly myself). Wanted something live, all I had was an acoustic guitar that I couldn't learn the chords to the song on fast enough. Sounded nice to tap on. First take, thought: Bah, everyone's s'posed to be drunk in the tavern anyways, no worries! Slap it on, wot! Still, no excuses (apart from that). Come Friday, come excitement!
