VG Frequency

Ari “Protricity” Asulin extended an offer yesterday to VGMix to provide preexisting, near fully-functional code based off of his site SongPortal and get VGMix3 up and running within a month.

Asulin recently reemerged in the VGM arrangement community, having submitted a Metal Slug 3 arrangement “Light ‘Em Up” to OC ReMix after a nearly three year absence, that departure having also been bitter and leading to Asulin seemingly making amends with VGMix. After reconciling with site founder Jake “virt” Kaufman in 2004 only to subsequently attack the site soon after and cause VGMix2’s closure, Protricity was amusingly dubbed by VGMix “He Who Shall Not Be Named”.

Protricity’s proposal having been made in response to a MetaFilter job posting from virt last month, Kaufman was polite in rejecting the offer, stating he likely wouldn’t hold a grudge forever while maintaining that Protricity was “someone who has been malicious in the past” and “not someone I can trust with something so important to me.”

Other coding offers have been turned down, including one from fellow community news hub ThaSauce. As of now, the VGMix 3.0 tentative ETA remains January 94, 2017.
