OceansAndrew Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 DAT AWKWARD STAGE BANTER. Deia putting out that guy's eye was the highlight of the show for me, and I wish we could see the Ragnarok video. Don't Touch Me! Quote
Kanthos Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Just watched the MAGFest video. Awesome stuff, though Amy was mixed too low for the first few songs. Not that it would work out in any practical sense, but I'd love to play keys with you guys. Quote
SwordBreaker Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Browsing through that video now. Man, you guys are solid! Especially loving that Wave Race track. It doesn't get mixed/played live very often if not at all. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Watch out for the second class period when Stevo shows up wearing an RTFM t-shirt as he hands out quizzes on the syllabus -- be sure to read closely and do your homework! Quote
Dj Mokram Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Needs more DrumUltima Fixed for graet justice. Quote
Mirby Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Deia putting out that guy's eye was the highlight of the show for me i echo this sentiment Quote
Arrow Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Fun fact: while at Apex, one of the guys who caught one of the bags at MAG came up to our table and introduced himself. The first thing we asked was "were you the dude who got his eye put out by Deia?" He wasn't. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 "If you didn't get your free swag, you can buy a lot of the same items over there. You can poke your own eye out!" "....what?!?" Quote
OceansAndrew Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 We've also played Wanderer on the Offensive (Double Live Edit), and WE MAY DO SO AGAIN! >_____> Quote
Argle Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 We've also played Wanderer on the Offensive (Double Live Edit), and WE MAY DO SO AGAIN! >_____> Really! Is there videological evidence? I love that track. Quote
sephfire Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I don't know if I was the "eye put out" guy, but that bag did hit me in the head. Also, album release when? Quote
Level 99 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Posted January 29, 2013 Also, album release when? We're finalizing what songs we want to put on it, as well as any new arrangements we want to make for it. Couple that with us sorting out a potential PAXEast Jamspace concert and the arrangements we're creating for that, with the current workload were HOPING for sometime this year. We'll be sure to hit you in the eye with the corner of the disc case when it does come out. Really! Is there videological evidence? I love that track. It was our first live performance, at MAGFest 2011. I remember distinctly there being both video and audio for it, so youtube search for "OCR Live" to hopefully find it. We went under that moniker until we decided to make OverClocked University a "real thing". Quote
Mirby Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 OverClocked University: Hitting you in the EYE with Video Game Music since 2012. Fun fact: while at Apex, one of the guys who caught one of the bags at MAG came up to our table and introduced himself. The first thing we asked was "were you the dude who got his eye put out by Deia?"He wasn't. She asked that on Facebook when I posted the pic of the Sound of Speed copy I got from the person in front of me who received one of those bags (he already had 2 copies, apparently). He wasn't (that guy was to my left). Quote
Level 99 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 So we have a very likely chance to be at PAXEast to perform in some fashion. Anyone else going to be there? Quote
OceansAndrew Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 PAX EAST SHOW CONFIRMED! We are playing in Jamspace at 1pm on Sunday! Come check out a new song or two, then right after, mosey on down to the OCR panel for some more OCU goodness! Quote
OceansAndrew Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 So we played the super cool Bitgen 8 this past weekend and debuted Tom, our drummer, who knows Stevo or something. Anyways! What did you guys think? The show was awesome, and there were arcade cabinets on stage, which is crazy cool, check it out! We are gearing up for Nerdapalooza next, and figuring out how to get live drums into our album! Quote
djpretzel Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Awesome show, best yet, plentiful moments of serious asskickery! Great photo, too. Quote
Mirby Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Nice 'stache, Stevo. Yeah, I tuned into that show on Twitch, very entertaining. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 "that is way too many golds for one duck to have" Quote
OceansAndrew Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 OH DAMN DOUBLE POST here is a recording of the whole set, check us out! Quote
OceansAndrew Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 So we are going to be Rocking the one and only MAGFest 12 in less than a month, with our new, sweet-as-molasses EP in tow! You will be able to buy it! Featuring 6 of our most popular songs, mixed and mastered by the one and only DJ Zircon, this is required listening for all students at the university. If you are doing a training montage, this is the perfect music for it, and if you are not doing a training montage, this will inspire you to BE THE BEST! Can you guess what songs are on there? Quote

Updated OP with info. Also I listened to the whole EP twice on the way to work today and it sounded GREAT. Quote
