View Full Version : Franchise Marathon Thread (NiGHTS Into Dreams, Journey Into Dreams - This Saturday)

Hello everyone. I would like to happily announce a new variation to the playlist that we will be implementing: A Franchise Marthon. Simply put, we will choose a franchise OR a game from a franchise and either: play various tracks from said franchise consecutively or play an entire album from one of the franchise's games in as much of an official (or OST) order as possible.
When we announce marathons of any sort, requests will normally be disabled for that time being. Note however, that we will not make RANDOM marathons at random times. We have decided to designate SATURDAYS for most franchise marathon days to add a little variety to what you may hear on that day.
So.....to start things off, I will start with a Super Monkey Ball *Franchise* Marathon, meaing it's not an "Album Party". This will only roughly last for about an hour at best, especially for a non-album party.
* Requests made before hand will be played.
(This can also give people a chance to talk about their favorite music from any given franchise OR game. We also look at suggestions for any given soundtrack hehe.)
NEW TIMEZONE UPDATE: From this point forward, when a marathon of any sort is done, it shall accomodate both major timezones by having that event done twice. (This of course means the US and UK)
Ah I'm liking this idea alot more now that it has a designated day, will they be at the same time?
Also surely Monkey Ball has enough games and music to last over an hour?

Of course. I just wanted to be precautious over how much time I put into it. I can extend it to 2 hours if people don't have a problem with it.

After Sound Reaper has done his little play through I shall take you further into the night with some Sega Rally Championship.
EDIT: Added Sega Rally 2 now for something extra.
Sound Reaper

Alright ladies and gentleman. Requests are open again. I hope you enkoyed this marathon for Sega Rally. If you have any suggestions as to what our next marathon should be, let us know.
Ok, I'm thinking one marathon in the lines of...Puyo Puyo series. XD
Seriously, that would be awesome listening to the tracks from the Mega Drive through the new Puyo Puyo. =3

Alright then, I'm sure Shaneman would have no problem whatsoever doing this one.:biggrin: As we know, he's a devoted fan to the entire franchise and even I have come to apreciate what it has to offer. I'm sure that this can be our next marathon.

Bah, lost Sonic Rush Adventure, Sonic 3&K and now Monkey Ball... Better luck for the next time XD
I was thinking a marathon of Outrun 2, or the series in general, that would be really great.

Outrun ain't a bad choice either to be honest. I loved Coast2Coast soundtrack.
We all know the only real choice is Jet Set Radio.

HA! Nice RADIO pun you have there (whether you intended that or not). When I utilize that marathon, I'l be sure to make it an interesting mix.
On the subject, I MIGHT d an encore performance of previous albums played for those who missed it.....given that I can wake up on time in the morning.
Well I'm certainly not above terrible puns so yes I did intend it! :D

Would love a Streets Of Rage marathon! But if I had to choose one it'd be number 2.

OK, because I'm such a generous person and I know I'm the most loved staff member (who the hell am I kidding here) I'll do a small album party right now to put some life into a dull Sunday.
I present a round up of Gunstar Heroes for you all.
(Requests offline during this).

I'll start another one! Get ready for NiGHTS.

Dr. Shaneman - Status: Out To Lunch
Yeah, that sounds pretty important to me.:P
But seriously, it's not that big of a deal considering what idea I had in mind as a result.

Don't give up, I have JUST recently re-enabled requests hehehe.

Wow, then I would have to close the thread, or remove it from existence and pretend all of this never happened XD.

You know Reaper, sometimes I've been think. I sometimes wonder why we're still here as no one seems appreciate bugger all that we do anymore. Our last few playlist updates have gone pretty much unnoticed...
EDIT: Sorry but after doing several jobs for various forums, it's how I currently feel.
Dr Shaneman

Because the stream here is down me and Sound Reaper thought we'd move this weeks album to today and I'll be hosting it on VGA.
It will be Sonic Adventure 2. Once I know what time Reaper wants to start it I'll post here.
Dr Shaneman
26-10-2008, 20:43
OK guys, Sonic Adventure 2 is going to start any minute over at VGA.

In case anyone is wondering, I have a short preview of what will be in store for those listening to RadioSEGA....on the 31st.
Be prepared.
Sound Reaper

The requests disabled....the music...abnormal.....the time has come.
You...have...been....WARNED!!!!
Welcome to a Halloween Special you will never forget.
Dr Shaneman
31-10-2008, 23:20
Requests are back online.
I'll be starting a special on VGA for the rest of the night.
Sound Reaper
09-11-2008, 17:35
Alright everyone listen up!
Requests will be disabled for the time being to make important adjustments to the current playlist. In the meantime, you will hear a LOT of Phantasy Star Music (mostly from Universe). Be prepared for an excellent update.....TODAY.
Dr Shaneman
09-11-2008, 19:31
Requests re-enabled and it seems like SAM is screwing up again so the update plan we had won't likely happen today.
Sound Reaper
10-12-2008, 05:54
Alright everybody. It's time....it's FINALLY time for something new to happen around here. I would like to inform (and warn) everybody that I will be doing an album marathon of none other than.....
SONIC UNLEASHED.
The actual update for it will take place sometime tonight for those wanting to hear a few new tracks sooner. This should tell you that our requests are fully restored now.
Sound Reaper
23-12-2008, 20:39
Alright, Shaneman and I have decided that whenever we do an Album Party like this, we should have it done twice for each major timezone. This means the US and UK.
In the meantime, I will be starting the ChristmasMix special very soon today, so be prepared.
EDIT: IT HAS BEGUN...heheheh.
Happy Holidays and I hope you enjoy this special.
Dr Shaneman
24-12-2008, 13:00
The ChristmasMix marathon is about to start, all requests offline.
Sound Reaper
07-01-2009, 15:56
I updated a few details about how marathons will be handled from this point forward. Long story short, since the US and UK have a 6 hour timezone difference, any marathon will be done twice on that day to support both major timezones.
Sound Reaper
05-02-2009, 17:42
Well now, it seems people have been so eager about Let's Tap, we feel that a Marathon celebrating it's inclusion is practically MANDITORY. So requests will be offline during this time being, and anyone wanting an encore of this marthon for another timezone may want to request it now.
EDIT: On a side note, there WILL be an encore Marathon this Friday or Saturday depending on when Shaneman can set it up.
Sound Reaper

It's time to revive this Franchise Marathon concept a bit. Very soon, I will release another poll to decide a Franchise Marathon from something different from Sonic. I will let you guys decide which franchise gets the "marathon treatment" next.

It has been decided! Be prepared for a forthcomming Album Marathon for:
Let's Tap
Burning Rangers &
Rez
The Album Marathon will start this Friday or Saturday. Also get ready for the next poll, which will be a competition for the next BIG Franchise Marathon.

Alright, due to some technical issues, this Weekend's Franchise Marathon is pushed back to THIS Sunday (from which I will have more preparation time than I did today). I must however note some guidelines we have set to prevent users from being forced to listen to 5 straight hours of NiGHTS:
- Play only the "Complete" versions of stages
- The Boss tracks
- The Event tracks will have to be skipped
- And of course, the main Theme Song will be played, but not EVERY version
- Christmas Nights may also be skipped
(If you have a different opinion on how this Franchise Marathon should be formatted, feel free to share your thoughts here.)
EDIT: It looks like this will have to be pushed back even further, to next Saturday. I will have to have a word with Mark on some of these....problems.
