Tis the season for smooth VGM and on this week’s episode, we’ve got plenty of post-Christmas stocking stuffers as we hit the personal computer pretty hard for a bunch of dirty adult visual novels that I know you love and crave (you doggy dogs, you) as well as some kid-friendly jams from the Super FAMILY Computer and your dad’s work computer from 1996.

What better way to celebrate the holiday season than with another dose of the jammiest in VGM jams, with more Block Knockers, more horseracing, more Yumi Kinoshita and Takeshi Abo, more mahjong, and of course, some dirty visual novels to satisfy even the dirtiest of birds.

This week, we celebrate our SEVENTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY (I think I said six on the podcast so please ignore accordingly) and it’s crazy to think we’re still going strong, although we’re getting closer and closer to the final episode (#300)…maybe…I still haven’t 100% decided.

Happy Post-Halloween and it’s somehow already November but that’s okay, that’s alright, we’re still here, the world is still burning, but we’re still churning (see what I did there) out the jams.
