Hi! I’m DynamixDJ!!

I signed up last October to shamelessly promote my FFVII guide that I’ve been working on for nearly a year now, and I’ve been visiting infrequently ever since. I find myself visiting more often now, so I suppose it’s time for a formal introduction!

Hi! I’m DynamixDJ!! My real name’s Josh, and I used to DJ D’n’B, and “golden era” Hip-Hop, but that was a very long time ago (before I bought a PS3 :)). I have also spent a lot of time with music production. The name Dynamix has lived on solely due to the fact that it is my PSN ID (DynamixDJ is not by exact ID, do not send a friend req; PM me if you want to add me). I’m not changing it either, as 50 something Platinum Trophies is not easy to come by!

Last March I had developed an overwhelming desire to write a walkthrough for FFVII. Don’t ask me why.... Many reasons I guess, but on March 28th 2015 I sat down to begin my guide. And the rest is history. In a million and one ways, I have found it to be similar to writing music, except for the fact that I feel as though I’m a lot better at FAQ writing than composing music. I’ve set myself the challenge of trying to achieve something that hasn’t been done before in terms of how comprehensive a FF7 guide can possibly be.... and one year in I’m roughly 60% complete! Another year maybe....

Last thing I’d like to say - this walkthrough adventure has lead to me taking it to a level I had never dreamed of - through my obsessive nature to be as precise and accurate as I can possibly be, I have taken to learning how to use various hax0r programs (Makou Reactor and such), and now, at the age of 28, I have a keen drive to get the hell out of the manual labour industry and learn more about C-Programming, I even have a few online courses bookmarked, but, working 45 hours as a Supervisor and spending every free second either on my guide, Makou reactor, or forums, I don’t really have the time to study. When I complete my guide however, that’ll be the time.

Never for one second as an 11-year-old kid playing FFVII, did I ever suspect that the game would eventually shape my career prospects. It’s incredible! In just 2 short months I’ve learnt an incredible amount; prior to Christmas just gone, I didn’t know anything about hex or binary, now I could probably write my own mod! In theory. I’d have to quit my job first :) All I want to do is sit at home all day on my PC Goddam I envy the unemployed :P


It’s lovely to meet all of you wonderful people!!

Great stuff :)
FFVII has a way of changing one's life in some aspect. There was this excellent thread and video about what makes FFVII special to you - posts like yours could easily make for a similar "how FFVII changed my life".

Anyway, the warmest of welcomes, belated but all the same sincerity :)

Hey there DJ! You should check out a group called Black Materia on youtube if you havn't heard of them :D

Very interesting concept, but the beats are definitely lacking, there needs to be tighter compression on the snares used...

But DANG they got some ill flows. Definitely. I smiled a good few times whilst listening to them. Reminds me of Midgar's Wu-Tang Clan. Lol I can just imagine Barret being one of them rapping :P

Yeah I just wish their production skills were as dope as their rapping skills. Don't get me wrong, the concept is incredible, but there is definite room for improvement in the overall mix-down. Nevertheless, I feel genuinely inspired now!

-edit- hey have you heard of Materia Remixed? Check this vid out , I particularly like 1:15 onwards

^^ WOW!!

What's funny is the fact that I've just remembered I actually sampled Chris Morris and put him in a song - "If time was a drug, then Big Ben would be a huge needle injecting it into the sky"

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to do some Brass Eye digging. I think I'll watch the "cake" episode


Thanks everyone for the warm welcome btw!!!

You joined before me, so perhaps it is you who should be telling me to post a lot, stay out of trouble, and have a good time...

Lol I joined many forums last October, as that was when I first uploaded my guide, and I was in "crazy promotion" mode. Some of thethe forums I visit infrequently, however this one seems to be one of the more active boards.

Prior to my FF7 walkthrough adventure, I never really bothered with online socializing (well maybe a bit when I was still DJ'ing... all those years ago)
