hellven members hunz and xerxes now have websites

hunz says, “Hey,

Just a quick msg to say my official web page is online. www.hunz.com.au. There is a new track to download called “you should never change” that will not be featured on my album. There is new video clips to download from past work I’ve been involved with so please download, listen and watch. Feel free to leave comments. I also spent a bit of time on the art work which is a small reflection of what’s on the album. It’s like graffiti but it uses real photography to to trace over.
Thanks everyone,
..::hunz..”

xerxes opened a website back in late June. http://www.xerxes-music.com/

Beatdrop is engaged! Congratulations!

From the thread on OCReMix:

The dropper of the beats has gotten engaged.
After having fallen madly in love with who was once my on-and-off
lover, Christina, I proposed to her a couple days ago. We’re planning
on having our wedding sometime in late October or early to mid-
November in Bemidji, MN, so any OCR residents in the area should let me
know if they are interested in attending, because I would be happy to
send an invite.


Sudden, perhaps, but incredible.

And I apologize if you thought this would be some cool thread about dogfights or something.

Italy 2-0 Germany

I am making this report a news post because there are many of you in the communities who follow the World Cup very closely.

An amazing game, I say. Italy won by an extremely narrow hair.
The last semi-final match (France vs. Portugal) is tomorrow at 11:00 AM PDT/1:00 PM CDT/2:00 PM EDT. The winner of this match will go against Italy for World Champion.

The two teams traded shots at the goals back and forth many, many times. Italy, however, was much more aggressive. Italy had 12 corner kicks along with an estimated 60% coverage of the ball. Germany had a mere 4 corner kicks. Fouling was not too aggressive, thankfully, unlike another game. The two teams demonstrated great sportsmanship, and that is partially why I feel the obligation to inform the communities of this great match.

Thank you.

Whatever happened to Daknit??

Well he turned into a beatnik…ok not really, but he’d certainly lead you to believe so…

From the thread on OCReMix:

Quick update, I don’t do remixes as much anymore, but I’m now into
video. I got a weekly Blog/Show called Daknit Video found on You tube.
I got 2 and 1/2 episodes up now (they are kinda crappy in quality) and
I’m working on a third for this weekend. Plus, you finally get a chance
tosee what i look like. (if you care) I’ll also try to do a quick
midweek video. something short and entertaining. And yes, that’s a OC
mix I’m using as my theme. No, it’s not mine. i’m “barrowing” it until
I can find a better.

ANYwho, I hope to see you all around. And you younglings, quit trying to kick me. =P”
Daknit is still Daknit.

=P

Anyone remember that Dream Oath Poem (FF6 Celes Opera Song)? Here, have a good laugh.

GamerGasm: Podcast #8

I could’ve sworn GamerGasm had it’s own topic image…guess I’m gonna have to get on that. Anyway this is hardly NEW news, but seeing as GamerGasm has no way to track content rather than manually checking the site right now, a lot of people may have missed it…
On the agenda tonite, is the groundbreaking, earth- shattering, amazing, incredible launch of NIntendo DS Lite. As well we talk about Table Tennis and Hitman, as well as why Sony isn’t making sense anymore. All this and more, and all for free, because we love you. Enjoy.

Doujin Spotlight: YAMAGEN

Hey, thought it was about time I did another one of these. 🙂 This time, our featured doujin musician (or “DTMer” as they refer to them in Japan, for “Desk Top Music”) is a guy who calls himself YAMAGEN.

His site, YAMAGEN’S DEVILELIET, is named after his modified Schecter Devil Elite. To get to the MP3s, ignore the Engrish and click on “MP3 DOWNLORD”[sic], then on “Arrangement” in the menu on the right. I would suggest highlights, but it’d be pointless because ALL the tracks are highlights (with the possible exception of the vocal “Silent Night” arrangement 😉 ).

Just get them all…trust me, they’re worth it.
Over the past few months, YAMAGEN has quickly become one of my favorite VGM arrangers, doujin or otherwise. Specializing in Squaresoft metal arrangements complemented by orchestral strings, his work has a full and meaty quality I can only describe as a pure wall of glorious electric guitar sound.

You’d also be hard-pressed to call any of his stuff a “cover”…all of his arrangements manage to bring something new and fresh to the overcrowded Square table, and have a consistent level of excellence you don’t often see in other video game arrangements. I personally think he would fit right in with the guys over at Dwelling of Duels, and it’d be awesome if he ever submitted a track.

OverClocked ReMix: Moves Tournament

From the thread @ OCR:


Ok, so I had the idea earlier today to hold a Moves tournament. Since
there’s not too many people that play, this first one is pbrbobablby
going to be small, but hopefully will build interest.

Format:

The tournament will be divided into two stages: A pool stage and a
bracket stage. Unless there’s a lot more people playing than I think,
the bracket stage will be 3 rounds, single elimination (8 slots). There
will be two pools (called “A” and “B” for simplicity), and 4 people
will advance to the bracket stage from each.

The pool stages will be round-robin, i.e. each person plays each
other person in the group. For fairness, each pairing will play TWO
matches, each person going first in one match. Points will be awarded
as follows:

-Win a match: 10 points.

-Each pawn remaining: 1 point.

-King remaining: 2 points.

This means everyone will get at least two points per match. The 4
people with the most points in each pool will advance to the bracket
stage.

The bracket stage will be a best-of-5 series in each round, with
the higher seed choosing who goes first in the first match, and then
alternating from there. (In the event of “tied” seeds, which is
possible due to drawing from two pools, the person with the highest
number of points in the bracket stage is considered to be the higher
seed; if this is tied, then the total non-win points is considered; if
it’s still tied, it’ll be a coin flip.)

The finals of the bracket stage will be a best-of-7 series instead of a best-of-5.

VGM MOVIE progress

A month ago I mentioned about “PLAY a VGM movie”. Their aim with that project was showing the public that video game music is more than just exciting remakes of game melodies for the “NERDS”.
Here’s some video that they’ve produced thus far! (starring Animal
Style and Nullsleep). Click here to see the movie on youtubeNews.
