Guys, great fun. Except for that Pixelshat segment; you guys should really screen your questions. Gross!
Seriously, there was a lot of really good music on hand. You navigated the homogenous mid-90’s shooter music quite well. Hey, I’m also really excited for next episode. It took me a long time to warm up to VGM covers and remixes, but there is so much great stuff out there! If you haven’t already checked out the OC Remix Gunstar Heroes Tribute album, you need to. My personal favorite is “Technology’s Spiritless Puppet”: https://m.soundcloud.com/ocremix/1-05-technologys-spiritless
