Despite the unrest of the world around us, we still want to be a place where people can escape to, for even a little while, and find some positivity which is what games are supposed to be for anyways. As such, we took this time to ponder over some things that make us truly happy: Video Game Music. After some lengthy discussion we delve into the first 10 days of the 30 music challenge. Well, technically we already delved into all 30 but the episode would've been just way too long.
