Roll some dice, flip some cards, and ruin your relationships! That's what board games is all about. This week we focus on board games in video game form. They could be video game versions of existing board games, or video games designed as board games. Pernell gets nostalgic with some Top Shop action, and Rob picks all Japanese Super Famicom tracks. They both can't stop dancing to the Mega Ran track at the end. Enjoy!

Episode 4-10 Wildcard
Rob and Pernell choose great video game music RNG style this week, but not really. This week it’s all about picking those tracks that just haven’t fit in other topics. These are the tracks they’ve been sitting on, waiting for them to hatch into the perfect podcast. This is that podcast! Also there’s a huge tangent about Back To The Future 2 for some reason, so look out for that 🙂

Marvel games, super-80s colors, and adaptations of R-rated movies. That's right, this week we're listening to the sounds of composer Tim Follin!
Episode 4-7 Mechanical Stages

Episode 4-4 Boss Music
Who's the boss!? No, we're not talking Tony Danza. We're talking the great boss fights and boss fight music of video games!

So make sure you've saved your game, stocked full of health potions, and get in on the fun! It's music time.

Also, the air conditioning broke just before recording this episode, so enjoy it while it's HOT!
