Good morning friends and fans! This is Anoop's buddy Pablo Vega. As some of you may know, I've recently gotten my first professional job as the Music Composer and Lead Sound Designer for the video game company "Arcen Games". It's been an absolute dream come true! I graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 2008 with a degree in Music Composition. It was tough not only because it was a rigorous program or because singing with Anoop and the Clef Hangers took up most of my time, but because a lot of people told me I was wasting my time studying music. Well, now, I can finally prove to those people (and myself) that it was well worth it! I wanted to write this to everyone to ask for help. You guys have done such a tremendous job helping my buddy Anoop, and I was hoping you could reach out a hand and help me as well. This job is a dream job, but won't last very long unless our games sell. So far, we only have one game out "AI War: Fleet Command", but we're going to have several more coming out next year. I composed all the music for the game as well as most of the sound effects you hear. I was wondering if it would be possible for everyone to help me spread the word about the game. The game is only $20, and it's a fantastic game for those into the strategy game genre! The more the game sells, the longer I can keep a hold of this dream job. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for helping out Anoop. Without your support, he would not be where he is now. The website of my game where you can buy it or check out all the information about our small company is www.arcengames.com I know that with your support, we can continue to be successful. Thank you again for all you do. Sincerely and with deepest gratitude, Pablo vega

Of course we'll help you, Pablo! Let us know what you need, whether it be word-of-mouth publicity, buttons, graphic designs, twitter wars, etc. Just let us know how we can help you and we will all do so to the best of our ability. Troopers always help one another, and since you are most definitely in the Trooper family, it will never be an issue to help you out!

Thank you so much! All we really need is to spread the word so that people start buying the game. There's a twitter account for the company "arcengames" as well as a facebook account.
Thank you all so much. You are awesome!
Love,
Pabs

Okay, Pablo... We can unleash Team Anoop to see how to accomplish what you need... I'm pretty sure we ALL know some gamers... I don't actually speak their language, but I can find some peeps who can assist with that! Having employment doing what you love is very important to one's mental and financial health, so I'm IN!! I'll be happy to provide comfy tweets and cobbler whenever needed FTW Jean (you may call me MamaJean when we're better acquainted)

Hi Pablo,
We are more than happy to help you out. You have been incredibly kind to us and, of course, wonderfully supportive of your friend Anoop, which is a great testament to your character. Many of us have had the opportunity to witness your musical talent in person, myself included, so I'm happy to do what I can to help you succeed in doing what you love.
I'm pretty sure I know a few gamer dudes, so guess what they'll be getting for Christmas? LOL. And I'll gladly spread the word about your game to others. You can count on us....
Take care, Anjana

Hi Pablo,
I had my son visit your website to see if this might be a game he'd be interested in. I was happy to hear him say he thought he would enjoy it. I placed an order this AM, what a perfect Christmas gift! He will also spread the word to all of his buddies at school, he's a college sophomore. I spoke to a friend today who may also be placing an order. I am so happy to have a gamer in my family and that I was personally able to help out. I will continue to do what I can to help get the word out. Any friend of Anoop's, is also a trooper friend. Pablo, I wish you all the best!
Love, Kathy

You all are so wonderful!
I'd like to do something for you for helping me out so much. I've already composed two new tracks for the expansion pack of the game (not coming out until January) and I'd love to share them with you. Kind of a sneak peek at the next game.
If you're interested, let me know! I'm not sure who's in charge of the forum, but whomever it is, shoot me an e-mail, and I'll reply with the two tracks attached. My e-mail address is pvega8@gmail.com.
I'd prefer it if I just got one e-mail from whomever's in charge. That way, I can send the tracks to them, and hopefully they can distribute to whomever ever wants to hear them.
Again, thank you all so much for everything. Things are moving along pretty well and I'm cranking out music everyday.
Much love,
Pabs

PS: Under violation of my contract, I'm not supposed to actually do this (distribute the songs before the release). So... please... keep the tracks to yourselves. I really don't want to get in trouble and lose my job. I just wanted to say thank you in my own way. So thank you

As much as I might enjoy hearing Pablo's preview, I'd never want to jeopardize his position in any way. Thanks for the offer... it's nice of you to want to share with us. I'll be patient and wait for something you're free to share without any worries. I've got "gamers" on my mind now, and am seeking some to direct your links to FTW.

Pablo - THANK YOU FOR SHARING! I love them both. They are both beautifully mind-calming and frighteningly thought-provoking all at the same time. I am especially intrigued by the longr one of two. I like the sound, and I love the clever use of the sound effect, or whatever you call them.
Street Teamers - If you are interested, I am still taking orders. Email me at "yf70461 at yahoo dot com"

Thank you Yoko! I'm fond of the "Heart Of Zenith" track. That one took a good bit to put together and edit, especially getting my voice in there to match with all the other sounds. It's a chorus of me singing like 5 different voices with a ton of reverb haha! Thanks again to everyone also. You all are wonderful love, Pabs

Yes. HOZ. I wasn't sure if you were OK with people mentioning the track titles. Haha. HOZ is the one I enjoyed listening to the most because of all the interesting effects, although S is very beautiful as well.
Again, if you are interested in checking out Pablo's sneak preview, let me know so I can email you the files.

I just listened to the the songs (thanks, Yoko!). The use of your voice in HOZ is so cool, Pablo, and I love the piano work on Stars. Great job!

I don't play games and didn't know anyone who does. Today, I finally found a gamer I could share this information with. I told him to share it witl all of his friends too. I wish Pablo lots of luck and I'll help spread the word when I find any gamers.
