So, it's 14 years since this absolute banger was released. It's come up in rotation for me more than a few times over the years, but I honestly forgot about it until.... It came on while I was driving across town the other day and I knew every single word! So many great lines. Managing to rhyme "charges" with "beverages" kills me every time as well as the "terroristic beard" lol Are the lyrics terrible? Yes, but it was supposed to be a group of guys horsing around and it makes me laugh every time. Anyway, I'm 42 now and this is still as awesome as when I heard it at 28

Hello! I have been an OCRemix listener since around 2000 and my favorite shirt I have is my OCRemix hooded sweatshirt I got like a decade ago. I saw an ad for the OCRemix patreon when I was on the site tonight and went over to take a look. It looks like it hasn't been updated in five years when the Chronopolis album was about to come out. Are there any plans to revitalize it and start actively using it again? Personally, I'm more of a one time purchase kind of person, so if you do hooded sweatshirts or t-shirts again I'd be up for supporting that way. Thanks!

OCR02445 - Super Metroid "Metroid Legacy"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I'm going to second what avaris said about the length and add that I think too many artists think they have to hit at least four minutes, if not five or six, and it really isn't necessary most of the time. Like a good story, a song should only be as long as it has to be. -
OCR02427 - Donkey Kong Country "Depth of the Deep"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
The louder notes seemed to get a little too blaring at times, but other than that this is a really beautiful arrangement and a definite download for me -
OCR02310 - Legend of Dragoon "Deadbeat"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I wasn't really feeling this remix, but I do like seeing Legend of Dragoon on OCRemix. It's also great to see that I'm not the only one. I mean, there's a guy named Melbu Frahma below me You, sir, are representing the Cause. -
POST TO ENTER! Meet Uematsu! Win VGM! (July 29th deadline!)
MessagesFromEarth replied to Liontamer's topic in Announcements
I first heard Uematsu's work playing Final Fantasy II (IV) in my best friend's basement. This was 1992. From that point I knew that video game music could inspire and move me. It drew me into the story of the game and was, in a way, it's own character. In high school I would put a tape recorder up to the TV and record my favorite Final Fantasy songs from the speaker and listen to them on my walkman. Now, years later I am still a fan. I love his work and I love how it inspires so many people. This community is a testament to that. Here's to hoping I'm the lucky guy to win -
OCR02182 - Super Metroid "Dieselbrainage"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I lol'd at about 1:57 when the Samus theme comes in for a moment sounding weak and tinny, then it kicks back to the drums with some maniacal laughter -
I was discouraged by the comments and I guess it's my own fault for reading some of them before listening to the song, but.... Guys, this is fucking hilarious! I laughed the whole time. I'm not sure I'd like to hear more remixes like this, but goddamn, you all had me rolling. Also, was that Flik at the end? The voice sounds like the one from the Link plays guitar at Hyrule High School. Bad ass. EDIT: Apparently Flik was the one needing people to sit on his crotch or something. Oh boy. Guys, let me just say one more time that this is fantastic, deserves to be on OCRemix in every way, and that if more people had a sense of humor the world would be a better place

OCR02034 - Final Fantasy IV "Bridge to Eternity"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This is one of my favorites off the FF4 Project. I feel like it's a really good battle theme. Weapons flying, people doing acrobatics trying to kill each other, magic exploding, and duels with people moving at super speed -
OCR02023 - Final Fantasy VIII "Shine Tonight"
MessagesFromEarth replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I feel like I could hear this on the radio. I really like it! Nice use of the source. I think your vocals really compliment it
