HAY GUYS

**THE POWER OF WATER** · 10:24 AM

Since the first round of the BSC is finishing up very shortly (Dr. Uzuki = speed demon), I'm going to try to go for a normal week here this week instead of extending it again. Unless we run low on voters again!

Also, I've made polls about the two issues brought up last week.

PLEASE READ AND VOTE HERE:
Definition of "Professional VGM Composer"
Original Piece Time Restriction

They'll close in a week, so drop it like it's hot.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It'd actually be the other way around. FX3 came out this year.

It's actually a series of murder mystery games.

Spinball was Howard Drossin; this is Matt Furniss and Shaun Hollingworth.

I definitely remember the chiptune version from the game. Isn't the guy's name Nigel, btw? Must be a region thing, I guess.

Yup. His name's Lyle in the Japan version (or Rairu or however it's Japanified), but it was changed to Nigel in the translation.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

We've got 13 votes so far. I'll vote later, making it 14. I'm feeling okay about closing voting today instead of extending, unless other people want to see more votes. Perhaps it would be a good idea to figure out a minimum number of voters required before voting can close?

UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE LATER, ASSUME VOTING WILL CLOSE TONIGHT

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, that's the "novelty is not obscurity" pseudoclause that's not actually in the rules. There's no OST announced yet, but I assume Odin Sphere will eventually get a soundtrack release with that composer lineup (then again, Monster Kingdom: Jewel Summoner is even more stacked and there's no CD for that for who knows what reason).

Letting it wait for a while would be the customary thing to do.

How ya doing, buddy?

A PS1 arrange from the first sound collection was okay, so I don't see a significant issue unless a lot more people have heard PS4 than PS1.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
