Brent and Rob explore some slower, more sentimental pieces of video game music on this episode.  They also explore what it’s like to be a “furry” and what’s like to be a “hunk.”  Speaking of hunks, action stars used to get their own video games, right?  But what about modern action stars?  Just something to reflect upon.  Full track listing below.Download and listen

Episode 272: Jazz Music 3

It's time once again to explore outside the world of third and fourth generation video game music to a land beyond 16-bit.  You might think that some of these tracks were actually from the third or fourth generation, with how well some modern composers have been able to re-create that style.  A prime example of that would be the fantastic Shovel Knight soundtrack by Jake Kaufman.
