Bonus Beats: Cytus Alpha, an Interview with PM Studios
This week we sit down and talk with the heads of PM Studios, publisher of great music games like Cytus Alpha, Deemo, the DJMAX series, and other great titles like Mercenaries Saga Chronicles and the upcoming Horizon Chase Turbo! We talk about their love of games and music, how they got started in the industry, and who has the most platinum trophies on the PlayStation Network! Throughout the episode we'll be listening to some of our favorites from their music game series Cytus (now available on the Nintendo Switch) and DJMAX. Enjoy!
Episode 18-5 Capcom Chaos
This episode we think about games produced by Capcom, but maybe influenced by other games. Or ports onto other systems with special arranged soundtracks. It's a chaotic Capcom episode! Pernell plays some heavy guitar riffs, and Rob plays some of the smoothest jazz arrangements he can find. There's something for everyone!
Episode 18-4 Games Rob Should Play
Rob likes video games, but he just doesn't play enough! So as a joke in a previous episode, Pernell thought an entire topic can be made of game suggestions for Rob. I swear this is as meta as we'll ever get on the show 🙂 All the music in today's show is designed to get Rob interested in the game, and all the tracks Rob picked are from games that have been on his mind to play soon. I hope we inspire you to try some new games too!
Episode 18-3 Our Favorite Platformers
This episode we listen to music from our all time favorite platform games! We are out there, collecting coins and rings, just trying to make it in this podcast world. Pernell mastered the double-jump just to reach the 1-Up, while Rob focused all his energy on the super-sonic-spin-dash, just to run head first into spikes! Also, on a very special episode of Everybody Loves Rayman, we learn that Super Meat Boy is racing to save the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise from a terrible movie.
Episode 18-2 Your Favorite Games Live!
This week we focus on the games you love, with all tracks chosen by our Patreon members! We include testimonials for each song, and a dramatic reading from the game's original manual! Mostly! Huge thank you to: Stephen Miller, Ok Impala!, Wicked Sephiroth, Chris Murray, Autistic Gamer 89, Chris Steenerson, Cameron Werme, Stephen Miller, and That Nick Walker!
Episode 18-1 Our Favorite Shmups
Target approaching! Fantastic music and great friends! This week on the show we look at our favorite SHMUP games! This is a chance to listen to our favorite shooter games without all the explosions and gun fire! Rob plays music that covers his introduction into bullet hell games, and Pernell finds some classic chiptune jams!
Episode 17-10 Our Favorite Fighting Games
What sport couldn't be improved by a Spinning Pile Driver? Or maybe just a handful of Dragon Punches? Baseball would certainly be more interesting. This week on the podcast we listen to music from our favorite fighting games! We cover everything from 2D to 3D, from the 90s all the way to today's baddest-brawlers. As a special treat, Rob gets extra nerdy about hip-hop samples! There's a fair amount of rapping in this episode, and this time not from Pernell! Enjoy the show!
Episode 17-9 Our Favorite RPGs
Pernell loves RPG games and starts more than he could ever finish, and Rob likes them okay. And that's okay! All this month we're being a little selfish and only looking at our favorite games within specific genres. Pernell's music gets heavy and stressful at times, while Rob's music picks are jazzy and are designed to keep you cool under pressure. Enjoy the selections!
Episode 17-7 Noriyuki Iwadare
Our podcast this week features only music composed by the prolific artist Noriyuki Iwadare! We find some great tracks in this episode, exploring not only his most famous games like Grandia and Langrisser, but also some interesting Japan-only titles on the PlayStation! Things go a little off the rails once we get into 90's-TV-sitcom-mode and Pernell finds his groove. Enjoy the music!
