Day 20: Racing Game Music Game: F-Zero X Track: Devil’s Call in your Heart I already touched on the original F-Zero via Brawl’s Fire Field remix.  F-Zero X, the N64 sequel, also had a pretty good soundtrack.  It was extremely metal for video game music at the time, and it started leading me down the metal […]

I completely forgot about writing a post yesterday!  Does this mean I failed the challenge?  Ah well.  Yesterday’s topic was music from a game released in my birthyear (1992), and today’s topic is music covered by a different artist.  So let’s just knock them out in one post. Day 18: Music from a Game Released […]

I think today will be the first “repeat game series,” since I already used Brawl.  It’s worth it though. Day 17: Music I’m Never Tired of Game: Super Smash Bros Melee Track: Final Destination It’s worth it cause Melee’s FD theme is so much better.  I respect their decision to lean into the Brawl leitmotif […]

As previously written, 16-bit music is my favorite type of video game music.  The SNES is my favorite childhood console, and SNES chiptunes were more-or-less how I initially developed my taste in music. Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite SNES games, but is unusual in that I didn’t play it as a child.  I played […]

I’m pretty tired and sleep-deprived.  I wish I were more well-rested for such an important post as Boss Battle Music.  But we’re on a schedule here so I’m workin’ with what I got. Day 15: Boss Battle Music Game: Persona 5 Track: Blooming Villain Persona 5 is the only Persona game I’ve played, but it […]

Short post.  New WoW patch dropped today so I’m very busy.  Speaking of WoW, today is about WoW’s biggest competitor. If you are currently playing through FFXIV’s story, or intend to and care about spoilers, stop reading.  But if you’re on the fence, well idk, maybe just don’t watch the video.  You probably won’t understand […]

Holy fuck what a busy day.  This one will be quick.  And very metal. Day 13: Music from a Game I Dislike Game: DOOM Track: Rip & Tear I love this track.  I do not particularly like DOOM.  I mean, I don’t hate it, but I’m not really into blood and guts and gore.  Plus, […]

Do visual novels count as games?  Probably not, but it’s my list, so I make the rules! Day 12: Sad Music Game: Subarashiki Hibi Track: Yoru no Himawari Let me get this out of the way – I wish I were a visual novel reader, but I’m not.  I’ve tried, but it’s just not for […]

Day 11: Music Featuring Vocals Game: Helltaker Track: Vitality Alright so this game is mildly horny, so I hope you’re cool with that.  Nothing NSFW, mostly just suggestive, and very silly. Helltaker is a quick little puzzle game for free on Steam.  I think I saw it while browsing Steam one day?  Its art style […]

I’m a big RPG battle music enjoyer, so today was tough.  Fortunately I managed to slot the other major contenders in for other days, and I’m happy with the result.  Anyone who’s at all familiar with SNES chiptunes won’t be surprised, but hey, I gotta give it to the GOAT. Day 10: RPG Battle Music […]

Many of you probably know Magic: the Gathering is a big part of my life.  Over the past 10 years it has been my hobby, my competitive passion, my social circle, and my career.  Prior to Magic, I never owned a deck or went to a physical card shop.  But I had played a few […]

Today’s theme is shooter music.  I nearly chose something from the DOOM soundtrack, since Mick Gordon gets it.  But instead I’ll be pulling from probably one of the least Day 8: Shooter Music Game: Metroid Prime Track: Phendrana Drifts I’m glad I got to experience Metroid Prime when it first came out.  I’d probably consider it […]

Day 7: Indie Game Music Game: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Track: Diptera Sonata I don’t have much to say today, but I’ve played a fair bit of Binding of Isaac (>500 hours) and this song rips.  Cool combination of instruments, great buildup.  Repetitive enough to get you in a trance, but highly replayable.  Brings […]

Day 6: Relaxing Music Game: Genshin Impact Track: A New Day With Hope Genshin Impact is a beautiful game.  It’s a Breath of the Wild clone, but you don’t have to be pro-gacha or anti-Zelda to enjoy it.  The first hundred hours or so of gameplay are so good, I’d honestly recommend everyone give it […]

Back home today – 6 week travel marathon complete! Day 5: Hub/Overworld Music Game: ActRaiser (SNES) Track: Birth of the People ActRaiser is a game I downloaded and played in my late teens specifically after hearing its music.  Rather than “chiptuney,” it’s more of a traditional orchestral soundtrack.  It draws from 18th century European music […]

It’s the morning of day 2 of BlizzCon.  My social battery is still recharging, and I’ve got 2 hours before the WoW deep dive. Edit: haha I ended up writing way more than I originally anticipated and once again didn’t finish until late. Today’s theme is console exclusive, the least restrictive theme so far.  Today’s […]

It’s 9:30 pm.  I just finished a LONG day 1 of BlizzCon, followed by Din Tai Fung with The Guildies.  Good times.  Time for the third and final day of NES chiptunes, featuring my favorite track from my favorite NES soundtrack. Day 3: 8-Bit Music Game: Mega Man 6 Track: Knight Man Mega Man is […]

I was hoping to get this out earlier in the day, but I’ve been on the road to BlizzCon.  Actually, I still am.  But Shelly’s back to driving and it’s dark enough that I can type! Day 2: Opening Level Music Game: Super C (NES) Track: Gates of Fort Firestorm (Spoiler: for some reason all […]

This image was trending in 2020 but I apparently missed it.  Granted, Discord is my main social network, so it’s not unusual for me to miss Twitter trends.  But when I saw this last month, I had to do it. Video game music hugely impacted my music taste.  14 years ago I didn’t know who […]

Well, I spent some time messing with alternatives, but in the end I just like WordPress.  I’m never quite happy with solutions I engineer myself, but I’m fine with WordPress’s shortcomings. Not sure what I’m doing here or for how long, but lately I’ve been trying new things, so here goes!
