Happy Beatles Day and happy 10th anniversary Dreamcast! As usual there will be a new episode of Radio Free Gamer tonight at 7PM EST! If you can't catch it live, you can download it via podcast this weekend. Listen in at 8bitx.com! Also, another Radio Free Gamer review will be posted this weekend. The subject: The Beatles Rock Band! Possibly Final Fantasy Crystal Defenders as well.

World 1 Level 12 is available to download via podcast! I play music from some of the VGM communities and resources that you might not have heard of, but should! Also, I have posted a review of Batman: Arkham Asylum onto the forums at 8bitx.com. It is a first attempt to expand the Radio Free Gamer branding, I suppose. Constructive feedback would most certainly be appreciated. You can PM me here or, preferably, email me at radiofreegamer@gmail.com. Thanks!

This week on Radio Free Gamer we will feature an interview with rock artist Henrik Lidbjork (aka Mutherpluckin' about his latest Nintendo cover album and his plans for the future, including the band he recently formed!

Fixed. Glad you enjoyed the Anosou ep. I have no idea what you said there >_>

The new episode of RFG is up on the podcast! You can check out what went down in the chatroom here. We had a ton of remixers from the FF4 project in the chat, so be sure to check it out!

Will update the podcast tonight or tomorrow night. While I'm doing that, I'll also publish a blog post on the RFG page which will contain links to everything I played. @Bahamut those were both by an artist (or group? I don't know, think the page was in Japanese) called Germania Monte Mario. Will post a link on the blog tonight or tomorrow. Also, if anyone wants to check out what went down in the chat room, there is a mostly complete transcription in the chatroom memories section of the forum. You don't have to register to see it, but feel free to register and leave a comment if you would like! Trying to get some pplz on the forums is kinda hard actually >_>

RFG starts in 10 minutes! Join us for a feature on the new FF4 project, where we will be joined by some of the remixers who worked on it! Listen live here from 7-9PM EST!

I always thought the music from SA 1 and 2 was underrated. Sure there's a lot of crap, but there are some songs that stand out (E102's theme, Tikal's theme, Twinkle Park remix to name a few). As for everything else, yeah you're right. But the point of Sonic was always speed, and I suppose it is a bit difficult to capture that speed in a 3D environment without the camera always crashing into things. I suppose it's worth revisiting to see whether my fondness is based of nostalgia, or if it actually was a decent game.

RIP Dan, who moved like a Street Fighter character. AAAAAAAAAAUUGGGGGGH!

I am officially jealous. We've had an empty cabinet in our garage ever since I can remember, so I might rig up something like that myself. Not too particular about the controls, in fact I wouldn't mind keeping the control pads there >_>

Thanks to everyone who went to Otakon! I met a ton of people who hopefully will become active members of the 8bitx community, and I had a great time at the panels, concerts, and every other bit of craziness that goes on at Otakon. I'll talk about that for a bit on the show. As for this week, we will feature the new Final Fantasy 4 remix project: Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption! We've been waiting a while for this album, and it was certainly worth the wait! Check out the show Wednesday at 7PM EST, and join the chat via the link on the homepage (hopefully some of the artists who worked on the album will be joining us). Check it out, only at 8bitx.com!

The episode with the DKC2 project interview and exclusive preview tracks has been added to the podcast! Check it out now by clicking the link in my sig. Thanks again to Bahamut and Geoffrey Taucer for being on the show! Check back next week for another episode of Radio Free Gamer (special "Otakon devoured my entire weekend so I had to put this show together in two days" edition!).

If you would like some examples: Berserk, Evangelion, FLCL, Count of Monte Cristo, Hajime no Ippo, Ghost in the Shell, Haruhi, and Speed Grapher to name a few. Not saying I dislike the series you mentioned, but I already know about them. As I said, I like pretty much everything. rest assured I will price check everything beforehand.

Otakon is coming up, and now that I have a steady source of income I am looking to buy some dvd's. I like most genres, and would appreciate some suggestions of stuff to pick up (preferrably stuff that hasn't been on Cartoon Network). I realize that a lot of you like Naruto and Bleach, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with those series, but that's not really what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance! And forum admins, I did look to see if such a post had been made recently and couldn't find one. Please let me know if there is one and we can save everyone some time. I also realize that this thread has the potential to turn into a flame fest (i.e. LOL [series name here] SUXX0RS ZOMG and the like) so I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it starts going in the wrong direction. I'd hope we'd be mature enough for that not to happen, but this is the internets.

Hey all, under the suggestion of OA I have decided to make one thread for all my posts related to Radio Free Gamer rather than make a new thread every week. Please mark this thread for weekly updates on Radio Free Gamer, your source for FREE video game music and interviews! This week on RFG, Jeriaska (writer for Nobuooo, Gamasutra, and GameSetWatch) joins us to discuss a roundtable he held with four independent game composers. This leads to an interesting conversation about music in independent games. Also discussed is his monthly series of video interviews with VGM artists. Also, a very special Win of the Week for all you Valve fans and a preview of Otakon 2009 (or in other words, I tell you how I plan to distribute the 2,000 business cards I just ordered!). Listen live Wednesday July 8th at 7PM EST only on 8bitx.com! The podcast will be updated Friday, or thereabouts. Links are in my sig. See you then!
