March is a Free Month.

Banner by FoxDragon:


Songs are due Sunday, March 28 at 9:00 PM Eastern US time. I will be in Boston at PAX East that weekend, so the date would have to be way earlier to be any earlier. . .and besides you'll have the same amount of time to listen and vote as for February.

Listening party will of course be the following Monday at 9 PM Eastern US time.

Retagged songs and everything will be up in a little while.

Easily my 2 favorites. I'm really sad to see that I was the only person who voted for jvincion's track. At least someone else gave Hat a point.

[Paragon]

I kinda felt bad that I only had 10 points to give, because I know what you mean -- jvincion's track was great, it totally reminds me of an instrumental track from The Gathering. He totally oughta get Hale-Bopp to sing something over it. I liked Hat's too, though not as much.

[FoxxDragon]

10 points was a tough one. but overall, really great month. hope everyone is happy with their stuff!

i'm most shocked over M-H and norg.. NORG?! That guy doesn't have time for DoD! Wait.. he got laid off.. hmm.. i guess he does!

Also.. HA! Eat it Crow! Braincells, my ass..

Some of you didn't think that was me? The fuck...I thought it was a bass solo short of being blatant!

Here's why SnappleMan is an asshole:

Earlier in the month I was talking to SnappleMan about song ideas for DoD. At first I was asking him ideas for a particular arrangement style I was wanting to do (yeah, pre-emptive anonymous compromous. Suck it), but it quickly turned into what we should do in collaboration. We went over Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball and the Tecmo sports games, but didn't settle on anything. Later though, SnappleMan said that he and I should battle it out with him doing the NBA on NBC theme ( and me doing the NFL on Fox theme ( We started trash-talking SnappleMan vs. virt style (though, not NEARLY as witty), and ended up adding the NHL on ESPN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PReim0Axt4) theme to his, and the MLB on Fox theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4b_-TMdRIY) to mine, for twice the epic.

But then SnappleMan went to sleep with the NBA on NBC theme on infinite loop. So that's all he could think about the next day. So he pussied out. No worries, because Snap has been having some recording setup issues and wouldn't have been able to make a track even if he wanted to. Plus, we'd have 2 tracks that got unjustly demoted. So the name of the track is also a mock of his two songs "Where no Mann Has Gone Before (Part 1)" and "Manning up (part 1)," which works out nice because my track is actually a beta version. I ended up not having that much time this month and scrambling on Thursday in Super-Punchfest mode to get something tangible into submission, which makes the demotion that much more frustrating. I'll keep working on the song and make it into what I envisioned in the beginning, and then I'll make a Youtube sports montage to compliment it.

Paragon's got another thing coming. I know where most of you now stand on the issue and a lot are going to just say "Suck it up Tony, you big fucking baby you should've asked Paragon you dick" blah blah blah. I don't care. That crazy bastard doesn't actually have a rule on the rules page so he didn't have grounds for the demotion on. I understand that "songs created for video games" almost goes without saying but the least that could've happened is allowing the song to participate, then immediately addressing the issue to the whole community and adding the rule to the rules or FAQ page (or even just talked it over with me) so the questions would stop forever and this issue would stop coming up. Oh well.

Seriously, at least have a damn rule beforehand.

[Demonstray]

Yeah Pud, I assumed it was you from start to finish, except a couple of parts that made me think it could have been norg, but then all the Pud spewing out just drowned that out.

And Pud, don't worreh about a thing. 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!

For what it's worth, I don't know why the rule wasn't more explicit on the rules page -- I had put it in either there or the FAQ previously, but apparently when I was editing the page to streamline it, make it more readable, etc. I truncated it down to just say that "Contestants must submit a game song", which clearly wasn't clear enough. I'm sorry for the miscommunication, but I didn't make up the rule on the spot -- in fact I recall awhile back during a month where people were talking about covering Star Wars songs (sci-fi month, I think?) I mentioned the rule on the front page (but again have since deleted the old entries to keep the size of the page manageable).

Note: I did update the rules page to make this more explicit. Previously, rule #2 read "2. Competitors must submit one game song in mp3 format, being at least two minutes in length."

Dammit, I was so convinced that wasn't Tony.

Seriously I thought it was Braincells , I compared it to his remixes and it sounded more like his.

Oh yeah free month, I have upgraded my music software and improved a bit on my production skillz... but, hurry up SONAR >.<.

In fairness, my guitar tone has changed quite a bit since my last metal DoD remixes (though it was pretty much the same tone on Toejam & Hurl 2). And I've been using the same drums since Egyptmini Man! Cross reference that shiznit



Unexpected secondary point: I love presets.

No Klick Drum = No BrainCells.
Also, remarkably elaborate orchestra = No BrainCells.
