Not to be confused with "Flying and Shooting," this episode topic includes ANY type of shooting, and with that in mind, we're gonna shoot right out of the gate with an incredibly bonk track. Or more accurately, a Super Bonk track! "Shoot the Smiley!" from Super Bonk on the SNES has an infectious and uplifting melody that gets this mixtape started right. "Team/Settings Select"

We lean heavy into the PC this week with a couple of nostalgic (for some) simulation games from the late 90s/early 00s but also, a heavy dose of adult-orientated games for the moms and dads who need a break.

All rise, court is in session. Today we will be presenting evidence that the Legacy Music Hour is guilty of spreading video game music of the "tenner" variety. Exhibit A: "Title Screen" from Honkaku Mahjong: Tetsuman II. This track clearly demonstrates a smooth and jazzy tone which builds into a fantastic sax piece at the end. Exhibit B: "Stage 5" from Shadow of the Ninja

This episode had a fun theme: tracks that end. Meaning, tracks that don't loop indefinitely. That's right, you'll find a lot of title themes and ending/credits tracks here, as opposed to stage BGMs which usually loop. "Opening" from Shadow of the Ninja is a great example of a title piece that can get you pumped to start a game. And "Opening" from Track & Field on the

[Episode 42] This month, barSILENCE is blasting through the colorific tube-sliding action of Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar! Jeff Minter's legendary reimagining of the 1981 classic is a hypnotic, fast-paced game built for the new millennium with vibrant colors, particle effects, and creative level designs.

Today we highlight a composer and games that don't often appear on the show. Naoshi Mizuta's music credits span 30 years, and much of that time has been with Square Enix leading the charge on Final Fantasy XI's soundtrack. That Final Fantasy XI, which launched in 2002 on PC and the PlayStation 2 (TWO!), is still running today is a feat in itself. But so are Mizuta's continued efforts to create music for it and many other games over that time. Today we feature several different types of FFXI tracks among other great works by this talented composer and arranger.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Audra Bowling, Patrick Gann; Edited by Jono LoganTracklistThirteensies0:13:11 - Eternal Winds - The Dead Dunes (English Ver.)

Have you've ever listened to a track and liked it, but wished there was more? That was the theme for this episode. For example, the short, twenty second long track from Gomola Speed sounds like the beginning of an 80's goth or new wave track. While still good on its own, it leaves you wishing there was just a bit more. Of course, these opinions are all subjective. So

Fresh off the Best Of Year In Review, the boizz hit the new year running with so many new potential top ten tracks and thus, as the title implies, this episode was packed with tenners."Commission (BGM 1)" from Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman has tenner potential written all over it.

We last celebrated the beloved Wild Arms series in 2022's episode 93, where we paired its Western stylings with Shadow Hearts, in honor of the then-new Armed Fantasia/Penny Blood Kickstarter. Now, almost exactly three years later, we are talking exclusively about Wild Arms. This series of RPGs from Media.Vision and Sony featured a distinctive Wild West flair, with exciting soundtracks to boot.While there sadly have been no new games in the series since 2007's Wild Arms XF (unless you count Wild Arms: Million Memories and its less-than-two-year mobile game lifespan, which we aren't!), we still have five main games, a remake, and a tactical spinoff packed with memorable music, almost all of which feature on today's show.

It's here, it's crazy to think the past year or so has flown by, but we're here, finally here. That's right, Eric and Bauer have reached the end of the journey for the Nattering BOLA Podcast with episode 30, recapping the final BOLA 2023 Night 2. We crown our final winner, we admire Justin's shoes, and Bauer explains why he isn't the king of the banjo, but maybe ref Justin is? A lot of laughter to hide the tears, on this week's episode, so pull out your ticket, get to your seat, and let's see who our final PWG Battle of LA winner might be! Editor's note: There's a spoiler in this episode for who won the 2025 NJPW G1 Climax Tournament two weeks ago, so listen at your own risk. As always, you can catch us Wednesdays and Fridays for Nattering BOLA and Nattering E CHEL on VGM and Nattering With E Networks. Also, on behalf of Bauer and me, thanks for listening to season one of Nattering BOLA. We'll have an announcement on next week's show to let you know what the plan for season two is.

It's been almost exactly 11 years to the day since we last welcomed video game arranger, producer, and saxophonist Sean Schafianski onto Rhythm Encounter, so it's long past time we had him on again! With a string of excellent new arrangement albums throughout last year and this year, there's so much to talk about. From his work on Jazz Arrange Version: Chrono Cross to a 3 "disc" full remaster arrangement of Final Fantasy VI and so much more that even two hours only covered so much of it!But it was a great conversation with music you don't want to miss. Be sure to check below for links on where you can listen to more of Sean's work as well.Featuring: Mike Salbato, Patrick Gann, Sean Schafianski; Edited by Jono LoganLinksRhythm Encounter 19 - Schmoozin' with Schafianski | RPGFanSnarky Puppy - Lingus (We Like It Here)Sean's WebsiteSean on BandcampTracklistClowns, Gods, and Bird Folk0:12:36 - Dancing Mad (comp.

On this week's episode, we keep the good times rolling as Torrey and Eric discuss the offseason moves of the teams in the NHL's Pacific Division. We give our thoughts on who we see finishing where in the division, along with who we thought took the biggest steps. Catch Nattering E CHEL on Fridays on VGM and Nattering With E Networks, along with Nattering BOLA Wednesdays on the same networks!
You would be forgiven for thinking the focus of this episode was ending music, which makes sense considering ballads are often used for ending tracks. Ballads traditionally tell a story or narrative, and while these tracks are purely instrumental, they still convey a lot through emotion. Whether it's an ending track to reflect upon your completed adventure, a specific character's
Welcome back to a bonus episode of Nattering BOLA. Before we head back for the 2023 and final tournament, we're busting out the Delorean and heading to Threemendous V from July 13, 2018. At this event, we saw a passing of the torch, if you will, as PWG stalwarts, the Young Bucks, were getting ready to form AEW with the other members of the Elite, and were challenging the Razcalz for the PWG Tag Titles. As always, catch us where you get your pods for VGM and Nattering E Networks. The match can be found at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkXzTEBfW2A&ab_channel=SportINDIE

Call it spring, some spring and some summer, or the most accurate but boring moniker, "Q2 2025," but the second quarter of this year saw the release of some VERY musically important titles in RPGFan's coverage. While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looms over everything in the RPG space for this time period, there were many notable other releases that also deserve your time, from RPGs to adventure games and visual novels.Oh, and classic RPG fans, just for the record, Mike would have included a song in honor of the overdue release of the Super Mario RPG (Remake + SNES) OST if he hadn't featured that game in our prior episode!As usual, we also have a longer list below of the many albums and releases we considered for this episode, so don't miss it!Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff; Edited by Mike SalbatoLinks for this episodeRose Betts' WebsiteMedieval Lofi on BandcampThe 8-Bit Big Band - "Orchestrator Emulator" Album (YouTube)Tracklist0:07:51 - The 80s Called (Thomas Regin) - Old Skies0:13:23 - Encounter Elite!

There's a lot to say about the music in this mixtape, but I'll try to keep it brief. "The Final Space Fight (Stage 6)" from Falsion comes in strong with that iconic Konami sound we all know. Following that, "Options Theme ~ City Area" from Kid Chameleon is a total funk-fest with some great slappin' crunchy bass similar to something you might hear in Toejam & Earl. "Exodus (
After over two hundred episodes later, our cowboizz have rode back into town to share a second round of Old West tracks. That means games or stages within games that have an Old West theme, and as you'll see, this waterin' hole hasn't run dry yet.The journey begins with "Scenario 4" from Gunple: Gunman's Proof. This track features a great whistled melody which is a classic trait of
Episode 260 is packed with so many great tunes. From the start, we get a really fun track, "Balanced BGM" from the Sega arcade game Ace Attacker, which sounds bright and optimistic with a little attitude thrown in. "One's Side" from Langrisser II is a great motivational piece with a driving beat that makes excellent use of the Mega Drive's musical capabilities. That's followed
