Rexy ⚖️ Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I find it hilarious that some of the staff and artists would throw dignity out of the window and pimp their own work... That said, 15 years is an amazing feat for any website! Here's to 15 more! Quote
Liontamer ⚖️ Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I find it hilarious that some of the staff and artists would throw dignity out of the window and pimp their own work... That said, 15 years is an amazing feat for any website! Here's to 15 more! The artists were specifically asked to pick someone of theirs as well ("reflecting on some favorite songs from the site’s history and their own artistic growth"), so we did 1 personal pick and then 2 picks of others' work. And then me with 4, since I don't muzik, and to make it 25 picks! Quote
Crulex Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 One of my top three favorite websites and my #1 source for music in life turns 15! Congratulations on the long life and may we have many more years of wonderful music and the friendliest community I've ever seen online! Quote
Chernabogue Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Happy birthday OCR! Proud to be part of that mixpart and of this community. Quote
Sir_NutS Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 15 years... it's been a while. Just a few rainy days that's all. Quote
q-pa Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Let me be the first to say... Sorry, The Coop! I couldn't help myself. Even though I'm not very active these days, I still love you guys & all that you've done. It's been awesome & an honor being part of this community. Quote
BONKERS Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 It's weird looking back, remember that I was browsing this site in even the year 2001, when I was only like 10 years old hahah.. man i'm a baby. Quote
CyberSkull Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Congrats! You guys gonna post 16 songs next year? Quote
Bundeslang Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Congrats, the effort you all put in this site is appreciated a lot. I like that two of the new songs are songs originally created for the PRC. Quote
streifig Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Happy Birthday to OCR from DoD! (Is there a way to download these 15 songs in a single archive, btw?) Quote

Cecilff2 Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Happy birthday OCR! Lets all djp in celebration. Quote
Toadofsky Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I vividly remember finding out about the site waaaay back in an old issue of EGM, and going to the local library to download Kong in Concert, Project Chaos (Sonic 3 and Knuckles) can't believe it's been that long. Congrats to everyone who has worked so hard on this site and has continued to support it. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 The artists were specifically asked to pick someone of theirs as well ("reflecting on some favorite songs from the site’s history and their own artistic growth"), so we did 1 personal pick and then 2 picks of others' work. And then me with 4, since I don't muzik, and to make it 25 picks! I can always count on Larry to have the best taste. Thanks for the shout out and nice words, and happy birthday to OCR! Quote
HoboKa Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 Happy Birthday OCR!! I better get to hearing those tracks Quote
