Episode 7-2 Video Game Love Story
Ah February, a time for romance and freezing your butt-off. This week on the show, Rob plays beautiful romantic songs from the Super Nintendo/Famicom. And on the other side of things, Pernell plays tragic and sad tracks to bring us all back to reality
Episode 7-1 Decadence
Rob and Pernell welcome you to podcast World 7 with the richest of video game tracks! We spared no expense in selecting the finest tunes related to money and luxury. Enjoy!
Episode 6-10 Pause, Save, and Tutorial
We got another great topic this week from one of our fantastic listeners! Well, we expanded on it a little, because there were some tracks we really wanted to play on the show 🙂 Our focus is on music outside of the action and drama, and instead on times where you're encouraged to take a moment for yourself.
Episode 6-9 Real Time Strategy
Clear the fog of war and flank the enemy! Click the buttons as fast as you can and prepare for war! This week's listener-suggested topic is RTS games! Unfortunately Rob and Pernell have little experience in the genre, but there is some musical gold!
Episode 6-8 Memories
Rob and Pernell are back together in the studio, and ready to rock this podcast! This week's topic is "Memories", meaning anything that triggers specific memories for us, personal or gaming related. So this one gets a little heavy on the nostalgia. Pernell gets nostalgic for the old east coast Bemani scene, and Rob gets nostalgic for old audio formats.
Bonus Beats Vol.1
Oh no! Pernell is at MAGFest this week and can't record! BUT WAIT! DON'T WORRY! Rob has got your back with a super-hot-chiptune-mixtape! New jams, old favorites, and silly scratches all mixed up together for your enjoyment this week 🙂

Happy new year everyone! Thanks for coming back for another great year of video game music. It means a great deal to us that you're still listening and enjoying the show! This week we do another composer focus, this time on one of Konami's greats, Mihciru Yamane! Enjoy!
Episode 6-6 Holiday Music
Happy holidays everyone! Your podcast-friends here at Rhythm and Pixels celebrate the only way they know how, with great video game music! There's surprises, presents, and Rob's elf application to the North Pole. It's a podcast miracle!
