Radio ThaSauce Live

What’s up everyone?  I just got back from MAGFest, which is still going on, and I must say, it was absolutely EPIC as always, but even more so this year!

Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem and Big the Cat, as well as Sid Meier, the father of modern gaming, were in attendance at MAGFest this year, and they were most definitely welcomed with open arms.  Not only in attendance, but also participating in not only a panel but a game (Powerpoint Jeopardy) was Jon St. John.  Sid Meier, accomplished musician as well, joined in on the fun in two separate instances of jamming in the one and only Jamspace at MAGFest.  Many had the opportunity to sing with Sid Meier to the tune of Rocket Man, as well as hear a rendition of a popular Eagles song called Hotel Civilization.  Epic times to be had!

The list of great things that happened this year also grew to include 12 vg inspired bands including The Megas, Armcannon, This Place is Haunted, Rare Candy, Temp Sound Solutions and more to rock out in the Concert Hall.

MAGFest also had it share of DJs bringing in the start of the New Year with style and flair, including q-pa, Renard and more!

For those of you who are fans of both ThaSauce and OverClocked ReMix, both sites once again had great panels at MAGFest this year! There are new changes coming to OCR, including a new blogging feature, ratings, and much more! ThaSauce has also had a stellar year having had a complete redesign released as well as an improved Remix: ThaSauce going live!

For those of you with a flair for cooking, the first ever MAGFest Iron Chef competition was, for lack of a better word, HOT! Three teams competed for the title of Iron Chef, but only one came out on top; TEAM REMIX!  Comprised of injury (starla of OCReMix and ThaSauce), Ramaniscence (of ThaSauce) and Vilecat (of OCReMix), they came and conquered the competition with style!  This author looks forward to their next culinary masterpiece!

Dwelling of Duels held its annual listening party Saturday night, all night. Results are forthcoming, and will be posted on http://dod.vgmix.com. It was a great competition and they had many tracks to listen to and take in.

OverClocked After Dark, the newest podcast addition to the OverClocked ReMix family (of podcasts), has taken the internet by storm! Featured at the OCReMix panel via a new video as well as its hosts, Brushfire, Level 99 and Epicenter, OCAD has embarked on a journey to make you laugh, possibly cry, and help you find a new found love for monster trucks!

Hey everyone, it’s been a while, but I’m still alive and kickin’ it.
So here we are in November, first show of the month of course, and I’ve got plenty of awesome news for all of you.

In the last month, we’ve seen two new albums from OverClocked ReMix; Humans + Gears: Xenogears Remix (http://xenogears.ocremix.org) and Castlevania: Sonata of the Damned (http://sotd.ocremix.org).  Both are excellent albums, and you can torrent them both from their respective sites.  For these and more great tracks, check out OverClocked ReMix at http://ocremix.org!

Have you heard the news about the “other” podcast?  That’s right, OverClocked ReMix now has a second “Official” (sorta!) podcast called OverClocked After Dark.  Your’s truly was there for episode 2, and believe me, I had a wonderful time recording it with Brushfire and Level 99.  Check it out by reading the thread at OCReMix: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26119.

Daniel Floyd, alias sephfire, just released a new video titled Video Games and Facing Controversy. Check it out at OCReMix: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=611175&posted=1#post611175.

Two very important conventions/festivals coming up, first January 1 through January 4, MAGFest!  Check out http://www.magfest.org for more information on events, pre-registration, the New Year’s Eve Party, hotel rooms, and much much more!  Also, PAX East is coming! Boston, Mass. is the place.  March 26 through March 28, check it out at http://www.paxsite.com/paxeast!

Also had one of the most epic five way conference calls ever via Skype! Brushfire, Level 99 and Epicenter of OverClocked After Dark, and special guest Hemophiliac from OverClocked ReMix.

A few days ago, and as recently reported by ThaSauce, a Wild ARMs Project, Overture of the Vigilante Wild (tentative title) has been announced.  Directed by the wife of famed OC Remixer bLiNd, JaDE ARaN HaRuNo, this looks to be an excellent addition to the many projects that OCR is currently awaiting delivery, such as the Donkey Kong Country 2, and Lufia albums.  According to ThaSauce, as well as the thread for the project at OCR, legendary Remixer McVaffe and Remixer AmIEvil (a name not heard in ages), are on the project as well as Pot Hocket, FF Music DJ, Fishy, Nekofrog, ilp0 and many more!
This project looks to be one for the ages as it features many new and old faces that we’ve all come to know at OverClocked Remix.  I for one am definitely looking forward to this project!
