Guten Tag,

The Internet is a dangerous place to be on the first of April. Though I was prepared for it this year, strange things still befell my travels. For instance, I went to OCRemix and saw a new Sonic song had been posted. I started reading the description and it talked about the newest site project, Re:Capitated, which was entirely dedicated to Ice Cap Zone of Sonic 3. Now, there are some games that have one song remixed over and over (see Gerudo Valley, Ocarina of Time). I don't know exactly why this happens with a given song, but OCRemix has seven versions of Ice Cap already. At any rate, I chalked it up to a 4/1 prank and left. I came back a bit later only to find that it was indeed a downloadable song, and it is pretty good. I start poking around a bit more and find the project's site with a bunch of new remixes. Since I already had three versions, I decided not to get any of them just yet. I should have tried though since as soon as the day ended, it was gone. So now, I don't know anything. Would all of the songs on the site link to the one I already downloaded? Did people actually make mixes knowing that they would only be around for a day? I mean, I went on the forum and the members were discussing them as though they existed. I am confused. Moral of the story: Don't surf the intarwebz. Ever.

In related news, OCRemix is awesome. It jump-started and helps sustain my video game music obsession. With over 1,000 songs, you are bound to find stuff you'll like. VGmix has a bigger selection, but because the songs don't pass through any judging process before they are put up, I find the quality is generally lower. Also, the site has been down for the past year, so that kind of puts a damper on the whole thing.
