Rhythm and Pixels

Football! Football! Football! Why do a focus on just one game of football when we can get all the footballs into one episode! We look at games of soccer, American football, and futbol! Helping us out this week is Michael Bridgewater from the excellent video game podcast Forever Sound Version. We are big fans of his show and excited to have him with us again on this sports-themed monster of an epis...

This week's soundtrack is provided by supporters of Patreon! We talk about our favorite Batmen, and take a look at Pernell's professional RPG speed-running career. Throughout the episode, Pernell attempts to complete Ninja Gaiden 2, and Rob distracts him through the power of modern dance.

Likes podcasts. Puts video game music in every episode. In this week's podcast we pick a song that matches a video game meme, so get ready for LOTS of memes! This topic was brought to us from Good Guy Messenger!

Dark clouds are looming over this podcast, something's happening. Something great and terrible! On this week's episode we listen to moody and suspenseful music, perfect to ramp-up the tension on an otherwise fun and friendly podcast. But of course we can't hold it in, and this episode features more singing and silliness than ever! To help us out this week we're joined by game composer Erik Desider...

Yo Dawg, did you ever play a game and want to make another game inside of that game? We're talking all things creativity and listening to the music that accompanies your game building fun!

Rob goes head-first into the fishing game deep end and finds that there is so much more to listen to! Enjoy this short mix-tape of excellent fishing music to cast your week and catch a great day! Oh, and enjoy the stylings of MC Sega Bass Fishing!

Let's listen to music for fish! We're talking about classic fishing video games, and even some mini-games about fishing within other games. SO MANY FISH. No matter what angle we come at it, we find super-chill, jazzy, and always positive music. Special shout-out to listener Wicked Sephiroth for the track suggestions which spawned this whopper of an episode! (pun intended)

Pizza time! This week we exclusively play music suggested exclusively from members of our Patreon! Exclusive! Rob and Pernell haven't recorded in a little while since they've been travelling so much, so there's lots of silly banter and a (too much) singing! 

Whether you love to go camping, or chill-out at the beach, vacation is a time to relax and take your mind off responsibilities for a short time. Rob and Pernell pick tunes perfect for your road-trip, or for sitting in the perfect chair reading a good book!

Yeeeee-haw! Rob and Pernell ride again! This week it's all about games and music focused on the American Old-West! Don't let the topic full you though, we've pulled some seriously smooth tunes on this one. Enjoy!

That's right. Rob and Pernell are back. And this time it's personal....lly one of the greatest podcast episodes ever recorded... about space inspired video game music! Still with us? Good! Pernell is back from E3 with some fun stories, and Rob has been playing more video games! Like, two of them! Astounding! Enjoy the riiiiiiide!

Turn the lights down low, and put your phone on Do Not Disturb. It's time for slow jams. Romantic grooves. Smooth, and sexy music from video games is the topic for the week! We talk about how to describe the feeling of music, the problem with fan service in video games, and of course, free love-advice from the love gurus: Rhythm and Pixels. Joining this week is Ed from the upcoming VGM podcast, Th...

Josh and Keyglyph from The VGM Jukebox podcast have lost their Haunted Jukebox! The only way to find The Haunted Jukebox? With jazz-club inspired video game music! They travel from their Overworld and into Rob and Pernell's listening room! It's a mystery of Scooby-Doo levels, and a cross-over more awesome than when The Flintstones met The Jetsons!  Enjoy this extra long cross-over episode, complet...

It's raining outside! That means we need to stay inside all day and play video games! Darn! Rob and Pernell share their favorite rainy-day themed music! Rain used in games as back-drops to set the mood and create a unique atmosphere, so the music is composed accordingly. Pernell shares his thoughts on his panels at Anime Central, and they both discuss the effects of time travel.

We're on a diet this week, eating nothing but salads! We have no topic this week, just excellent listener-suggested music! We give a preference to our Patreon subscribers, as this recording was streamed live for all of our supporters! We talk about our favorite racing games, Rob mispronounces MANY names, and there's a ton of singing. So much singing! Enjoy the show!

This week's topic is all bout sneaking around, breaking and entering, and ... E-Sports??? We talk about summer time at the beach, bank heists, bunny-people, and the greatest professional Korean gamer of all time.

One of our first big episodes with extra music and a special guest! With so much great Pokemon music, how could we not do an extra long episode.

Sit down with Pernell and Rob as they discuss the new game Minit from Devolver Digital!

Jump around, jump around, jump around-yeah! This week we listen to classic hip-hop, and classic hip-hop inspired, video game music!

(2064 Read Only Memories, Celeste) He wanted to jump on our show and talk about the cross-over of vid...

The first episode recorded in our new studio, we take a deep-dive into music for fighting games. Great music to punch your friend in the face to!

Let's talk pinball, man. PIN BALL MAAAAAAANNNN!! Rob and Pernell listen to great music from video games based on pinball games, or using pinball game mechanics! And hoo-boy there are a lot of them! Pinball is a unique game that combines dexterity and physics with electronics. Moving this game into the digital world means you can add moving characters, RPG elements, and even blue sparks!

Shooters have some of the best video game music ever composed. Music created for the Super Nintendo, and even adapted to the Super Nintendo, is all on display for your listening pleasure!

Today on the show Rob and Pernell start their own Major League Podcast team, the Wilmington Chiptuners! Not really though, this week's episode is all about video game characters who carry bats!

We talk about the nostalgia we have for places we used to live, the romance of Tommy Lasord, and how to navigate the spirit w...
