CRT Soundsystem

Shifting gear again for another bit of a grab bag episode. There are so many different versions of Tetris and many of them have really great soundtracks either to keep you chill or ramp up the tension while you play so I just wanted to highlight some of my own favourites. As I mentioned, no Tetris Effect here since I'm saving that for something more focused but otherwise please enjoy! Also, to my...

Note - I'm renaming this as a Mini as I think I want to try doing some occasional shorter episodes for games that don't have very long soundtracks. Will see how it pans out but for now let's consider this one to be Mini Episode 1 A little break from the format here to talk about DubWars, a neat - if a bit broken, I couldn't get it to run on my computer - rhythm/shooter hybrid. The music is all ver...

It's time to go goblin mode! They said it could never be done but we're doing the entire soundtrack from Scott Pilgrim vs. The World The Game. I couldn't bring myself to cut any tracks so we just said 'fuck it' and did them all (as it turns out there is now a bunch more music available for this game that was literally finally released the day we recorded.) Anyway, this soundtrack rules so let's ge...

This week is our first guest episode! Rude fox Alton joins us to talk about Arcanum. A cool game with a cool soundtrack.

This week we take flight, or at least, we manage those who do?
