For the second album of Resonance Podcast, I wanted to take you though some of the most memorable opening or theme songs of all time, or at least some of my favorites.  I did my best to keep a variety and only included two songs from the Final Fantasy series.  If you’ve been playing games for as long as I have, I’m sure you’ll recognize most if not all of these right away.  I also wanted to mention that I don’t plan on using a lot of early gaming music in this podcast, but I knew an episode about theme songs wouldn’t be complete without a few.  Enjoy.

Song List:

This week on KVGT:

I want to appologize for the poor quality this week.  Patricks mic is all but broken and I didn’t realize how quiet he was until after we recorded.  This will hopefully be fixed in the next episode.

Not a whole lot of games talked about this week, but we did talk about Halo: reach, Final Fantasy I, Mortal Kombat, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Dragon Age 2 DLC, and Red Dead Redemption.

In news this week we talk about Resistance 3 Beta, Red Dead Redemption Game of the Year edition, Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3, Words with Friends, Lord of the Rings: War of the north, Final Fantasy Tactics, Witcher 2, Xenoblade, the Vita processor, people are mad at the 3DS price cut and what Nintendo plans to do, Heroes of Newerth goes FTP, Gamestop to sell in-store digital PC games, Sony’s bold statement to Nintendo, Disney kinect, Diablo III, a new Peanuts game, gettming married with Pixel Junkies, a promising technology from Euclideon, Making money from Diablo III, how to get top doller for your children, and how sitting and playing video games 12 hours a day might be able to harm you.

Unfortunately, that’s all this week.  Kevin did not do an MMO report as promised, so hopefully next week.

Welcome to Resonance, a podcast dedicated to the music of video games.  Before we get into the show notes, I wanted to give you a little background on where this podcast actually came from.  This first episode was mostly put together back in Feburary and March of 2010, but the final touches were not put on it until last night.  It’s one of those projects that got pushed to the back burner during the times when we thought KVGT was going to have their own World of Warcraft podcast, which never happened (although I hear there is one episode floating around out there!).  It was also at a time when we were dedicated to getting back into a weekly episode of KVGT.  I decided to finally put this out since KVGT is in yet another transitional period, and also to celebrate our 50th episode.

This is, of course, just a temporary home for Resonance.  After this first post (known as Albums) you’ll find more information via my blog at perplexinginkslinger.blogspot.com.  Since this Album took me little to no efford to finish up, I have also been working on Album two, which should premier within this month.  After that they will come out aproximately every two weeks.  Not every album will have a theme, some will just be a collection of music I thought went well togehter, but others may carry genre, type, or other themes, such as this first episode dedicated to the KVGT Podcast. OK, on to the actual show notes.

Theme: Podcasts 1-8

Description:

This is the first album of the Resonance Podcast, thanks for joining me in my journey accross some of video games greatest music.  This one is a little different than what you will come to expect from Resonance, but I still think you’ll enjoy it just the same.  The music from Album 1 is actually the same music that I used in editing the KVGT podcasts 1-8, so you’ll have to excuse me in the fact that I don’t know some of the names of songs, nor do I actually have all of the full songs.

It’s finally happened, we FINALLY reached Episode 50!  It’s been a long, hard journey and the past few weeks have been no exception.  With the loss of one host and scheduling conflicts of another, plus software problems, we’ve been running on half staff!  that’s okay, though, because we’ve hit 50 and we can only get stronger from here!

Also please keep an eye out on our main page (kvgt04.blogspot.com) and my personal blog (perplexinginkslinger.blogspot.com) for upcoming changes that we talked about earlier this year.

Hosts: Jeremy Collier, Kevin Drost, Patrick Solis, and Crystal Solis.
