mickomoo Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Random question. I saw someone wearing an OCR shirt on my way to work on the train last week, couldn't say hi, I was running late. But I am curious, how rare (or common) has it been for any of you to see someone repping ocr, outside of a convention, concert, or organized meetup.

Garrett Williamson Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Joshua Morse lives right around where I am but I've never actually met him and I don't think I've ever seen a guy with an OCR shirt or anything related to it. I also never get out to any conventions or anything so it's only natural I won't see many if any fellow OCR guys in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I met SuperiorX once but I was 2 and a half hours away from home near where my aunt lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Never. But to be fair, I kinda live like a hermit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I've seen WillRock, Fishy, ProtoDome and Magellanic at past conventions here in the UK. In addition, Flexstyle flew out here to meet up once. But given that I'm the only northerner out of the brit-gang, seeing OCR peeps / fans on a regular basis is rare. My only hope really is finding messages given through StreetPass or something.

Flexstyle Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There's a decent contingent of OCR folks here in Arizona (KingTiger, DjjD, Chimpazilla, Emunator, Ergosonic, Zylance, Monobrow, Protricity, KyleJCrb, anyone else I'm forgetting), so I've met almost all the above names. I hang out with KT on a regular basis, and try to meet up with Jake and Wes (Emu) whenever possible. I try to meet up with OCR folks in any area I'm travelling through--got to meet with Rexy, WillRock, Fishy, and ProtoDome a few weeks ago in the UK. Will and Fishy even allowed me to stay at their houses for some nights each, which was excellent. And of course I look forward to the conventions where I'll be able to meet up with a bunch of people. MAG, Reno GAME Expo, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It's funny how many live in Arizona. Like, I would expect more in California, Tennessee, and I guess New York or something. Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Kingdom Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I would have figured that more people from the Boston area would be on the forum considering how it's a very artsy (read: musical) city. At least out of all the musicians I know, none of them have really connected music to video games, so I suppose it's not very surprising.

Arrow Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Us OCR folks in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, northern Virginia) see each other at least once or twice a month if not more, but there's so many of us packed like sardines in here that we really don't count; we're all close personal friends who hang out all the time on purpose. It's not like we have to wait for conventions to say hi. For all the other folks out of this area, it's pretty much just that; we only tend to see them at cons. Although I do tend to drive three hours up to DarkeSword's pad every few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 When I lived in DMV, you couldn't help but bump into OCR people. In Atlanta, I've hung out with Tweex and his wife at a Distant Worlds concert that I got us tickets for. I've also tried to meetup with urdailywater, but he's not been available. Sometime I need to arrange a Georgia meetup, maybe around Video Games Live in October. I'd love to meet Sir Jordanius, for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillRock Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Other than convention meet ups, nothing. I did hear McVaffes Tempest Mix in an indie game shop tho. They have one of the workers laptops running in their speakers, so its likely one of their guys is at least aware of OCR in some form.

Meteo Xavier Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Back when I was friends with JesusTheDarkLord and some of his friends, I saw former OCR people around. Now I see no one. DON'T ANY OF YOU HORRIBLE BASTARDS WANNA VISIT ME IN EAST TN? We have Dollywood for god's sakes!

0bsidianlink Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The only people around here that know about OCR are the ones that I told to check out OCR. Not much of a community in Edmonton, I guess :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Aside from MAGFest (which we can't attend this year -- boo!) Addie and I don't see anyone that isn't local to the Twin Cities. We get together on a fairly regular basis with OA and Deia though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
