PlastikBag Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Bitchin. Good to see you getting some much deserved exposure. Heroes is a pretty big network television show, too. Grats. Maybe I'll start watching Heroes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyne Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm waiting for the day OC Remixes are played on G4 or the GMAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Bitchin. Good to see you getting some much deserved exposure. Heroes is a pretty big network television show, too. Grats.Maybe I'll start watching Heroes again. Volume 2 (Generations) was okay. Volume 3 (Villains) was absolutely horrible. Volume 4 (Fugitives) actually has some direction now, and last week's episode (Cold Snap) was amazing; like as good as some of the best Season 1 episodes. This week's episode (Into Asylum) wasn't as good as last week's but it was still pretty great. It feels like the show is finally back on track after such abyssmal storylines.

You can thank the writers guild strikes for the lack of good stories. Though sometimes I think the writers are off kilter now and then.

No, Volume 3 was a year after the writers' strike. It was atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sweet! And they even timed it for dramatic impact, rather than just using it as background. That is beyond awesome. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortmann Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The episode after the week break they took a few episodes back was the first time the head writer from Season 1 came back, so that may be why the new episodes actually have direction and are a lot better than Villains was. Also, grats zircon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't have any background whatsoever reading comics, so I'm curious: what was so horrible about volumes 2 and 3? I'll admit that I liked volume 1 best, sure, but didn't find 2 and 3 to be that bad. I haven't watched any of Volume 4 yet (going to wait until it's finished and watch it over the course of a couple nights). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed it would be best compared to an anime. There are episodes that focus on the story line, and then there are fillers. Fillers are generally... well... there to fill the series with unrelated pieces of story to make the series seem longer. I'd say most people don't like them, others do, so it really just comes down to preference. Trust me, I don't think a company would want a series that makes them so much money to end so quickly. Same applies to anime, hence the comparison. But that's just my take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The pacing of 2 was bad and flyboy West was probably the worst character ever introduced in the series, and it didn't help that he actor playing him couldn't act. Still they introduced some great characters, like Adam Monroe and Elle. Volume 3 tossed consistent characterization to the winds and killed off anyone interesting from Volume 2 (Adam and Elle). They would also introduce an interesting story idea and immediately resolve it (or forget about it) by the end of the episode. They didn't let anything play out; it was constantly shifting gears and had no clear direction. Volume 4 is a nearly complete 180 from Volume 3. They've picked one storyline and they're pretty much sticking to it, which is nice because you don't have to constantly re-adjust to characters deciding they want to be good guys this week instead of bad guys like they were last week. The character development actually makes a little more sense this time around. Plus it has Zircon music, so how can you go wrong? And yes, it's mostly due to Bryan Fuller returning to the show as a consultant/writer (he wrote last week's Cold Snap, which was just amazing). It's almost worth losing Pushing Daisies for. Almost. yes i'm still bitter at you ABC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeklan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Very nice, Zircon. I have this on my DVR and it will probably be there for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 just saw it last night! well, most of it at least.

Deathtank Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 That Hulu site won´t let me see the episode cuz I live outside USA, thank God that Youtube exists!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01xmRv0LC6w From 1:45 till 2:00 Oh, and btw, congrats to Zircon, the new "Man" OF ocr!

ArmadonRK Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I just caught this, Warhead being one of my favorite tracks off Antigravity. I thought it worked really well in the scene. This was also one of the best episodes we've had in a long time. Coincidence? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(heck! he's overshadowing the pretzel! ) Having never "Warheads" and seeing this clip, my first thoughts were of "We have explosives" by Future Sound of London.. edit: No.. that's not it.. I meant "Loops of Fury" by Chemical Brothers. Both were on teh WipeoutXL soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPanther Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't watch Heroes but you got quite a bit of airtime that is a tight ass song so it's no surprise it would show up on television sometime, good stuff man =). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moguta Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Today I finally got around to watching the latest episode. The clip's a teasingly short 30 seconds or so, but it's sweet. Certainly never expected to recognize an OCR artist's music playing on a popular network TV show! Here's to hoping there's a big fat check on its way, at the end of the next 6 months.

Kizyr Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Pretty amazing! Have you gotten any recognition outside of OCR (and maybe OurStage) for this? KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/47784.html Warhead is also going to appear (under the name "H-Bomb") in the new Wheelman game from Ubisoft. You can hear it in this trailer (thanks Hy-Bound for the link!) - they liked it so much that they used it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Nice Job, full budget commercial video game, with Vin Diesel no less. Congrats again, that song is your ticket through the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Wow. They really gave that game a crappy review. Luckily, one of the few positive things that was mentioned was the soundtrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmeli Walan Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Congratulations. It's awesome to hear one of the community getting such exposure. Why is there a name change for the track in the Wheelman game, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how everything in the game got mediocre responses, with the sole exception of the stellar soundtrack! Again, congratulations.
