Gario Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hey, just went to Video Games Live at E3 last night. OCRemix.org got a shout out during the concert - it got roughly a minute or two of attention from Tommy Tallarico on stage in front of... roughly 6000+ people? The Nokia Theatre was nearly full, so... yeah, about that much. Fucking awesome. OCR is getting more and more attention, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flare4War Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well deserved. That's bad ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm pretty sure they mention OCR at every single performance could be wrong, but either way it's fucking awesome yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 The cheer they gave was pretty sweet, not to mention numerous people coming up and talking to analoq and I about the site. Pretty darn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm pretty sure they mention OCR at every single performancecould be wrong, but either way it's fucking awesome yeah Tommy usually gives the site a shoutout -- I was at a performance once where they were choosing someone to play Space Invaders, and he mentioned that I was probably overqualified to play based on my OCR hoodie. A shame, because those MAME cabinets they give as prizes look badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sole Signal Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 They do play OCR music in the halls as well. When we had a big OCR group down in Louisville a few summers ago, they had a presentation with OCR reps up on stage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickomoo Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I was the hands clapping practically at the front of the stage, in the pit lol. But yeah that shout out was pretty legit, same for the fanfare that followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkspast Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I wonder how many people are here reading this thread in response to that shout out.. Lurkers, reveal thy self! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 In Paris, Tommy Tallarico gave a DVD full of OC Remixes to the winner of the Frogger game during the concert. He talk about OCR for about 10 sec, but it was cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Tommy loves OCR so much, but when OCAD comes asking for an interview, he is nowhere to be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Tommy loves OCR so much, but when OCAD comes asking for an interview, he is nowhere to be found. Don't worry, same thing's happened to NGI so far. He is a ridiculously busy man, though. Last night's show was my first time at Video Games Live, and it was worth it. I stood in line for 2 hours to talk to all of the guests (for like 2 seconds each, but still) and I'm still reeling from being starstruck. When you have Tommy Tallarico, Chris Huelsbeck, Kinuyo Yamashita, Christopher Tin, Akira Yamaoka, Frank Klepacki, Gerard Marino, and even HIP FREAKIN TANAKA all in one place, you know that it's a very special night.
