2004/06 1st: Norrin Radd - Double Dragon 3: Brett's Requiem (Flight of a Dragon)

The 1st place entry in Dwelling of Duels for May 04'-June 04'. It was a free month.

-about dwelling of duels- ( http://dod.vgmix.com/ )
Dwelling of Duels is a video game remix competition with a focus on live instruments (as opposed to programmed/sequenced instruments).

In AD 2003, war was beginning. Shizz user Oroku-Saki considered himself to be the best guitarist ever, but housethegrate and Ashane disagreed. After much flaming and arguing, a competition was arranged by Crimson: each of the "pro" entrants would cover Dwelling of Doom from Castlevania 2, adding their own guitar solo. Each of the "amateur" entrants could cover any song from any game. There were only two entries: Crimson and Radne, both in the amateur category. However, DoD was born. Over the next two years, it attracted many new entrants and was established as a solid part of the minibosses message board at theshizz.org.

By the end of 2005, the bandwidth needed to host the site became problematic. However, the competition was preserved with help from virt and hosting via vgmix.com.

Due to laziness, World of Warcraft addiction, and having to work two jobs, Crimson had to step down as administrator of DoD. Ryan8Bit and thecreeper each ran a couple months, however in June 2006 the tumultuousness ended, as Paragon was selected to be the regular host.
