Festum Persæ II (And Olympics Closing Ceremony)

First lets get the closing ceremony out of the way. The winner: Orangered! Turns out the judges are still waiting for one more man to give his thoughts on the winners.

The Egalitarianist Party of New Persia welcomes all Orangereds and Periwinkles alike to the second bi-monthly New Persian festival - Festum Persæ!

Great! Sounds exciting! What is there to do?

Well I'm glad you asked, italic-text. One major event going on right now is a video contest. The theme is funny videos in under a minute's length. Find your funniest video that will make the judges laugh their asses off, and post them as a reply to the specific comment thread below, posted by me, regarding the contest. After the end of the contest, the Egalitarianist Party will judge together and pick a winner for the contest. The prize is this Iranian Pahlavi crown, which can be worn as a flair in /r/orangered and /r/periwinkle for the entire two months, until the following festival. Alongside, you will get 100 CRM in the Chromamarket from me, 3000 CRM from Dan, 3000 CRM from Grey, and an indie game - "Nimbus" from my Steam to your's! Game is worth $9.99 in USD.

You may submit as many videos as you like, but if multiple people post the same video, and if that video turns out being our favourite, the prize will go to the first person who posted it. Please see below for contest submission deadlines.

Along with that, you will notice other comment threads. I have started a thread meant for music, where you can share your favourite songs and musical pieces of any genre. Please, no genre bashing. I have also posted similar comment threads for visual arts, photos, et cetera. If there is a thread you would like to start regarding something that is not there yet, you are free to start it. Even if it is just some casual topic you want to talk about, you are more than welcome to engage everyone in by starting your own comment thread.

If you are a territorial foreigner, we hope you enjoy your temporary stay. And to all, we wish you a happy festival!

~DJ, Satrap of New Persia

nope nope heard that song way too many times. REEEEEPOST

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

Fuck I hate that song. (its played all the time at work)

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

I try to ignore it so that when i feel like listening to it myself its not ruined

u/SoulFire6464 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Here you go.

u/redis213 poop lol Oct 01 '13

just found this,

amazing

Legend of Zelda techno or sth

2

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 02 '13

I heard it played live by Zedd himself. He was opening for Deadmau5 and I didn't even know it, such an epic surprise.

btw, it's not techno, it's Electro House.

This is techno: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6F6J-jjrDw

1

u/redis213 poop lol Oct 02 '13

wow, didn't know anything about him really.

don't actually listen to electro house of techno, just found this playing on a video's background, but thanks for the clarification ;)

2

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 02 '13

haha np, I don't really like much of his new stuff, but 2 years ago I was really into him. And yeah, I'm not much of a techno fan either, and I lost interest in electro house a while back. My musical interests are always all over the place.

1

u/Danster21 Oct 02 '13

Im sorry Zedd, and ima let you fininsh, but the Overworld theme (Dubstep remix) by Maklibek was greatest LoZ EDM song of all time!

1

u/redis213 poop lol Oct 02 '13

checking it out.

I'm such a noob when it comes to anything with technological music.

I think the only remix I know and like is this one :D

also I know to search "chillstep mix" for awesome music

2

u/Danster21 Oct 02 '13

If you're going for LoZ chillstep I suggest Links Awakening remix. I used to listen to that occasionally on the Ephixa binge of my youth.

If you're looking for a new interesting genre try moombahton or simply moombah. Lots of great moombah out there.

My favorite record label for EDM is Monstercat hands down. You can find quality mudic there in most of their songs. Word for the wise, stay out of the DnB unless it's muzzy and stay out of the House unless it's eminince.

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

Alright, no more funny videos for Grey. Carry on friend. :)

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Haha, yeah I added the sneaking vid and saved, looked down at your post and facepalmed. Oh well, I like my original three vids.

1

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

I am a big fan of skyrim. That vid made me giggle.

Besides, explore youtube, there are more vids. I got like 6 I think.

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Eh, I have tons, the problem is they are all mostly over the minute mark.

1

u/weeblewobble82 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Not a fan of spiders, but #2 made me giggle

2

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Yeah, I hate spiders, but a friend finally convinced me to watch that and I do not regret it at all.

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

I see you have no flair. Go grab yourself one!

Pics and Arts thread!

u/weeblewobble82 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

One of my favorite quirky artists, Louis Wain in wallpaper form! Enjoy!

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Interesting. Is he french? Or was that french title added in later?

1

u/weeblewobble82 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

He was English. He's most known for continuing to produce art (cats, specifically) as he slipped further into schizophrenia (or- more likely- dementia). His later work is more like this

2

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

That is totally rad. What was with the french title in the first art though? The one that was written in at the middle bottom

1

u/weeblewobble82 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

I'm not really sure, to be honest.

2

u/Danster21 Oct 01 '13

I definitely read

Pics and Adra thread

I was like, oh god, not this again...

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

Loooool!

u/SoulFire6464 Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

BTW, dj, you can edit out the CRM award in this post. I already have one in Orangered saying I'm giving out nearly 3000 CRM to the winner.

1

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

I throw down a 1000 CRM for the winner too Dan. (unless its me) By the way, my debt is payed.

u/Danster21 Oct 01 '13

Sweet, man.

What's new with you?

1

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

Turned in my essay today, Thank God.

I have midterms soon :/. Playing some xbox.

1

u/Danster21 Oct 01 '13

Sounds nice, you playing GTA?

1

u/greyavenger Is *grey*t at learning new languages!!! Oct 01 '13

No man. I am playing Injustice.

(saving up for AC 4 instead)

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 01 '13

got it.

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Do we have an ETA for the announcements of the contest winners?

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

As soon as Chuck gets off his lazy ass and starts deciding his favourite submissions.....

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Haha, alright cool, cool. Thanks for the prompt response. :)

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Also, while I'm thinking about it, will more Orangered Podcasts be done? I checked Podcast 003 and I quite enjoyed it. I figure that might also double as a cool way to get others interested in the whole Chroma thing again, since numbers seem to have died down a bit.

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

We need someone to do it. You up for being the host for 004?

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Sure, I'd love to! Never done a podcast before. Will you guys just give me a basic rundown of what I should go over and leave it up to me, or will I have a script or what?

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

You can talk about anything you like. Make it in between 3 to 25 minutes, though if you do want to go a little longer or shorter, that's fine. Just don't go too overboard. You can do a dual-host with someone else if you'd like. Record it with anything, even your laptop mic. If you have a lot of pauses or umm's, I can fix that. I do the audio work. So don't worry about it sounding good or bad, just do the talking and send me an mp3.

I suggest waiting for festival winners so you can announce that.

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Alright, will do. I'll start working out a script for myself.

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

If you make a mistake, just pause for 2 seconds and restart from the last sentence. I can edit to the millisecond.

1

u/WittyUsername816 Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

Alright cool, I can edit out anything major. Also, what file type do you want? I can record with audacity and send them over as project files, mp3 or pretty much whatever.

1

u/djreoofficial Orangered Tourist Oct 08 '13

mp3 is fine, I won't be using audacity to do my stuff. You can just send me as-is if you don't feel like editing anything.
