It's time for another live-streamed episode! All music this week has been picked by our lovely Patreon subscribers, thank you! Pizza is a big topic around the R&P office cooler, but our conversation goes all over the place.
Episode 13-6: Rain
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.

Rob and Pernell leave the safety and protection of their studio so they can present awesome video game music to a crowd of unsuspecting cosplayers!

Pernell brings the crowd-pleasers, but Rob just wants to fight with good-old battle music!

That's 100 MP3 files of great music, remixes, and friendship. We celebrate by revisiting our favorite topics from each "podcast world", and choosing new tracks!

Episode 10-2 Yoko Shimomura
Tune in as we focus on the works of composer Yoko Shimomura! She has worked in the business since the 80s with such amazing music ranging from Street Fighter II to Kingdom Hearts. Rob and Pernell share tracks from her amazing career, and share stories of old arcades, and mythical animals.
Episode 9-6 Password and Save Select
Okay, where did I put that password. Is it in the back of the game's manual? Is it on a post-it note stuck to my Gameboy? Oh there it is, of course! I had it tattooed on Pernell so I would never lose it!
Episode 8-7 Fun with Alex
We decided to change things up a bit this week and invite on of our Patreon members to join us on the show!
