Welcome to the June 2009 edition of OCR’s “official” Fan Art Competition (FAC)!
This month’s theme is Blizzard Games!
“My first impulse thought would be Blizzard games, as I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been done before.
My only hope is that people think beyond StarCraft and WoW and can
dig up some Lost Viking, StarCraft: Ghost, WarCraft/Diablo I D:”
–Ramaniscence, winner of May’s FAC!
PM your entries to me by TUESDAY JUNE 23RD.
So I woke up today to a truly poetic invitation from a Mr. Shael Riley. This invitation, to tomorrow Double Dash Compo, is better than any other Valentine’s Day gift I could have hoped to received. As some of you may know we had our FIRST Double Dash Compo only a few days ago, and if I do say so myself it was a Tremendous Achievement of sorts.
I’m particularly obsessed with Shael and starla’s song, myself 😮
(Also: Gratz to starla for getting her first OCReMix in over 7 years posted today.)
I have attached to this email an invitation to
an event so formal that I could not simply invite you in plain text, so
formal that I could not simply invite you in HTML. No, dear and kind
sir or madam, you are hereby invited to an event of such magnitude,
such dignified and uppity importance, that I shall cease explaining it
immediately and direct your attention to the PDF enclosed.
You are invited to participate in the 2nd Doubles’ Dash short-form songwriter party; its rules are as follows: teams of two compete with one another to write and record a vocal pop song over the course of three hours, while in contact with other contestants via IRC chat. The obvious devision of labor entails one team member writing music and the other lyrics, but this is not mandatory. At the end of three hours, all songs are listened to simultaneously and in sequence by each contestant; then, each votes for his or her favorite and a winner is determined. This event will take place during the hours of six to nine pm, Eastern standard time, on the evening of Sunday, February the 15th, 2009. That’s the afternoon of February the 15th 2009 to Westerly types. Please arrive in the IRC channel #ThaSauce, on irc.enterthegame.com at a quarter to the hour to select your partner, and wear your fanciest pants.
Eagerly anticipating your arrival,
-S
VERSUS Compo is a ReMix Competition website that focuses around user created competitions and earning Battle Points, the VC currency. VERSUS Compo started as a friendly competition between two ReMixers that gained a lot of popularity. Soon, a lot of ReMixers started their own VERSUS Compos and they wanted a website dedicated to it. So one of the original ReMixers started constructing this website and has finally finished.
The original Compos that started the website are defaulted and are the
classic Single Battle Compo, which pits 2 ReMixers against each other
in friendly competition, and the winner is decided through public
polls. The other is Championship Compo, which is the website’s
tournament compo. Some compos require Battle Points to enter, while
others are free to enter.
Hope to see you there!
This week we will be holding a special compo. The theme is a samplepack containing all the sound effects and voices from Team Fortress 2. Please be aware that there are a large number of samples and going through them may be somewhat overwhelming – which is one of the reasons why this compo will be open for one week. Starting this Sunday, you may begin your song. Please have it uploaded by next Sunday, July 27th by 9 PM Pacific / Midnight Eastern.
