Nicole Adams Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Great episode! The new format feels a lot more polished and has a better pace. I also thought the stinger was hilarious. Way to take a silly incident and run with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Rydell Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yay! Episode downloaded! P.S. : I was gonna grab the old episodes, then checked the torrents only to discover they aren't there...? Is it gonna be fixed? P.P.S. : Did I just hear Arnold Schwarzenegger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode downloaded!P.S. : I was gonna grab the old episodes, then checked the torrents only to discover they aren't there...? Is it gonna be fixed? Yeah, I'm not sure how to fix the torrents. Anyone have some expertise in that area? P.P.S. : Did I just hear Arnold Schwarzenegger? Ahhhnold. (That was actually Daniel, everyone!) -- Very glad you guys are liking the show! We're happy with the new format as well; Brush had some awesome ideas with the JudgeQuote and Game Flames sections. I think it definitely helps that we've condensed the old reports into Community Happenings also - much love to Rama, DrumUltimA, and Cyan_Ide, though! I'm particularly excited about the OCRtist Spotlight. We did have the occasional long interview before, but I think having shorter ones every week is cool. Gotta show off all the talent in this community, one remixer at a time! EDIT: Found it! Feel free to add this to your sigs etc. if you'd like.

Rozovian Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Listening now, half way through. So far so good., tho you guys suck at pronouncing finnish cell phone brands. Esp pixietricks, which is extra fun because she tried to correct whoever said it before. Gotta show you how to pronounce it when I get you my bumper.

zircon Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Wait, it's not NOH-kee-ah or noh-KEE-ah? What else could it be?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 In the uk they just say noh-kee-a, with no strong syllable: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 In the uk they just say noh-kee-a, with no strong syllable: Yeah, that's about it. Except the a should be more open. Also, you have to sound depressed when you say it. It's finnish. And technically the first syllable is emphasized, but the vowel sound is the same. Finnish. IPA: /ˈnokiɑ/ (yeah, really helpful), compare the english word "no" transcribed as /noʊ/ (american english). lol, really important stuff.

SwordBreaker Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Enjoyed the revival! I wrote my full impressions in the VGDJ website. One suggestion that I just remembered to Brushfire: in "Game Flames", it would be cool if you can comment on the soundtrack of the game in question. I found your Red Faction thoughts to be very insightful but I was expecting a sentence or two about the soundtrack, which was composed by one of our community veterans Jake "virt" Kaufman.

Brandon Strader Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Why'd you make it out of a cowboy hat? You need a small hat with no sides, hahah... I thought it was a fire hat before I read the supersaiyan part. Brush fire hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 That didn't cost $300 by any chance, did it? Actually no, The Snipah hat was 50 bux and the Super Saiyan wig was 2800 Yen. Very cost effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dish Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nice episode I personally felt that there was some awkwardness between Brushfire & the other 2 hosts when they interact; here's hoping things will flow more smoothly with more episodes And a question, please. What remix is the intro using? I recognize the original tune from Zelda Phantom Hourglass, but I don't find the game when using the quick search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majutsukai Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I-I just realized that there was no Russian Remix Roulette in this episode. >: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally didn't register awkwardness, but sure it'll become smoother with time quite naturally, so looking forward to new episodes! I'd actually have liked to hear full-length remixes, but on the other hand it's nice that the podcast is kept short. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more different note, we all sat down and discussed the show, and it turns out that we have all come to the conclusion that this will be a bi-weekly cast. This works on two fronts. One is that it insures that we wont have episodes that have no new mixes. Unless some sort of freak drought at the Judge circle happens. Secondly, it prevents any of us from getting burned out. Thirdly, it gives us ample time to make content better, and those savings get passed onto you the listener. SO FEAR NOT!! We are still on the air!!

Jillian Aversa Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah... what he said! Next show will come out next week, instead of this Friday. We already have our special guest lined up for the OCRtist Spotlight, and methinks you will liiiike hiiiimmmm... ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that.. on the other hand, while listening the podcast, I strongly felt that this was more of an inside thing, from OCR to OCR, rather than something that advertises OCR to outside. I'm sure it works on both fronts more or less, just that the emphasis seems to be a show for those already in-OCR. I do think playing the songs in full would be more beneficial to actually showcase the awesome to new folks. But primarily, personally I want them so that I can check out the new mixes in a fun way without needing to download them myself (unless I want to keep them of course). That worked really well with the Brushfire-only preview for me! Biweekly sounds good! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stele_Grey Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Great episode; it's beautiful to hear y'all again. I discovered and starting listening to VGDJ, starting with ep1, right around the time it was wrapping up, and I can say it is what kept me sane at a horrendous late night job I had my freshman year at uni. Looking forward to hearing more; I'll definitely be passing this on to friends! And with that, some feedback (mostly personal preferences more than anything else, but I'm sure you appreciate feedback from someone who's essentially not a community member): I do miss the RRR segment. It's nice to have one remix you can hear in its entirety. Whether it's actually random or picked in some other manner (maybe integrated with the OCRtist profile?) doesn't matter quite so much. Plus, I downloaded roulette remixes about as much as reviewed ones during the old incarnation of VDGJ, as listening to a good remix in its entirety will always leave a better first impression than a short preview. Regarding the game flames segment, we'll see where it goes in future episodes, but right now it just doesn't seem to fit. Amongst talking about a very narrow topic of VGM-remixing, all of a sudden we get a review of a game. Unless the person talking about the game is very entertaining, I don't personally care to hear all the gory details about why I shouldn't play a crappy game (or why I should play a good one either for that matter), when I'm tuning in to the podcast to hear about music. I'm sure I'll have further thoughts as a couple episodes come in. Great job, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindeffects Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 ... I agree with this, it's exactly how I feel. I wanted to post something but didn't want to spoil the moment. I hope to hear these new segments more fleshed out in the future episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
