DarkeSword will be joining us this Wednesday the 15th to discuss the Final Fantasy V remix project! It is certainly one of the most underrated FF games, but think of tunes like "Clash on the Big Bridge (Battle with Gilgamesh)", "Dear Friends", and "As I Feel, You Feel" and imagine the possibilites for a remix project! The interview will happen LIVE, so be sure to jump in the chat during the show to ask your questions!

As always, we'll have more free video game and video game-inspired music for you guys. Join us live on Wednesday at 7PM Eastern only on the 8BitX Internet Radio Network! If you can't listen live, hit up the podcast!

Hey all! I'd just like to remind everyone about the interview with DarkeSword and invite you to post any questions you want me to ask during the show. The interview will be live, so feel free to post here or join the chat during the show if you want your FF5 questions (or any other questions) answered.

If you really wanted to go the extra yard, you could even leave me a voicemail (with questions for DarkeSword, song requests, or other comments) at 206-984-3330 or via Skype at RadioFreeGamer and I'll play it on the air! This is a newly added feature to boost interactivity and get your opinions out there in your own voice.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you guys tonight at 7PM Eastern on 8BitX.com.

Tonight's interview is going to be awesome. Dunno if you guys have heard, but MAGFest preregistrations are going four times faster than they have in previous years. This really reflects the good decisions they made to change the date, get great guests, and have their best band lineup to date. Going to be amazing.

And a lucky listener to the show will get 2 free passes :D

Got some excellent music tonight. In case you haven't peeped this on reddit or twitter,

. Technically the mixes are in 6-channel stereo rather than the usual 3-channel NES tunes, but the effort that went into this remastering really shows. The musician behind this project will join us live to answer your questions, so either join us in the chat tonight from 7-9PM Eastern or leave your questions here if you want them answered.

Yo! The OCR Link's Awakening album might not be out yet, but you can get the lowdown on tonight's RFG as to why you should be excited about it! Of course, we have some great video game music to play as well, including the official Obligatory Ice Level Day album. What is OLID, and what does it have to do with some of your favorite remixers?

After the podcast portion of this week's RFG, we're going to have an official "Super Metroid Remastered" listening party! Tenchux has been dutifully releasing (via Youtube) one song from his new album every day for the past two weeks, and this Wednesday will be your first opportunity to download the whole album in MP3 form! Join us in the 8BitX Chat around 8:15 PM Eastern this Wednesday, December 15th to discuss the album.

As part of the album release, we at 8BitX are also holding a charity drive benefitting Child's Play. Tenchux is still a good ways away from his goal of $1,000, so if you're in a giving mood please hit up the donation site. Every little bit counts!

Tonight's episode of RFG will feature music from indie games including Zircon's "Return All Robots" and David Saulesco's "Eternal Daughter", as well as music from AnoSou's "THE ANSWER - Armored Core Tribute Album" and more! I'm listening to the playlist now and it's really really good, so tune in at 7PM Eastern tonight :D

We've also got some gooood news about MAGFest! It looks like I'll be joining Josh Whelchel and Danny Baranowsky on the "Indie Games 101" panel! Be sure to check it out on Saturday at 6PM. If you can't make it to MAGFest, video footage of all the panels and concerts will be added to MAGFest's youtube channel.
