We're all danced out, so it's time to hit the lounge. We focus on another musical sub-genre of sorts, the chilled-out jazzy lounge music. It gets a little funky, it gets a little "elevator", but it's all so good.

Episode 8-2: Dance Music
Last night a DJ saved my life with a 1-up! Our next two episodes will "club music" focused, with this episode being dance music. We're talking four-to-the-floor beats, massive sub-woofers, and all the glow-sticks you can eat! We also talk about dancing at weddings (which we love to do) and fall in love with Yuzo Koshiro all over again.
Episode 8-1 Zelda-alikes
This week on the show we focus on something familiar. We want Zelda games, but don't want Zelda games, you know what I mean? These are games similar to the classic "Link To The Past" or "Link's Awakening" styles, but not featuring our iconic hero. Enjoy this week's adventure games that are not Zelda!
Episode 7-10 Sad Robots
This week's topic is listener suggested, because "sad robots" sounds cool. Robots have such a hard time in video games. Often they're tortured, and forced to fight their family, even their own creators.
Episode 7-9 Super Sentai Games
Get together a group of your closest friends, put on your bright-colored spandex suits, and IT'S SUPER SENTAI TIME! We explore the mega-pumped-up music of the classic Japanese kids show that inspired the American after-school kid's shows. Well, we actually go all over the place on this one, but all the tracks are excellent guaranteed!
Episode 7-8 Lucky Sevens!
How do we find such great video game tracks? Is it the luck of the draw? Is it lady-luck? I think it's Pernell's suave and sexy voice that calls out to great music like a siren song.
Episode 7-7 Wildcard 2: This Time It’s Personal
Rob and Pernell throw out their comfortable themed podcast format, and dive into the dangerous world of zero-theme for a second time. But this time, it's personal.
Episode 7-6 Saturn Puzzle Games
Rob and Pernell mine the depths of the Sega Saturn and come out with some solid gold hits! You'll hear some funky bass-lines, wicked drum-fills, and some on-the-spot lyrics! Rhythm and Pixels are blasting off agaaiiiiinnnn!!!!
Episode 7-5 Arcade Shmups
Get those reflexes ready, welcome to Bullet-Hell's Kitchen! This week we dig into the soaring, energetic, and often manic tunes of arcade shoot'em-ups! We look at the old and new, horizontal and vertical, and the cute and insane! We also create a shooter based on Pernell, and Rob becomes an old man battling against impossible odds.
Episode 7-4 Squalor
You thought you could have it all. You bet it all, went all in. AND NOW YOU'RE BUSTED! This week on the show, it's music themes from games where you are flat broke! Or just flattened, or something like that. Rob had a really hard time with this one haha! Enjoy the show!
