Episode 174: Free Play 26

Episode 174 is an unofficial focus on haircut tracks.  That is, track names that are haircut related.  Rob specifically made his track list haircut themed, and Brent did too, but spontaneously while the episode was recording, after finding out how Rob prepared.  And actually, regardless of the track names, this is definitely the haircut episode, because there's lots of talk about haircuts and scissors and other barber related stuff.  So, to recap, this is officially the haircut episode, but musically, it's ultimately, basically a free play.  Well, you be the judge.  Full track listing below.

    That baby Light Crusader track was a highlight for me.

  3. I live for Rob's honorable mentions. Brent's Super C bit was amazing too.

    Also, that kinda squeaky part of the Manhattan Project track is definitely when the Turtles are getting their scalps buffed after a nice close shave.

  6. When Brent was talking about the game he's been playing for the past month, I was like, "Please say The Witness, please say The Witness"! I'm playing on a computer, and that version only has achievements for finishing the game and 100% completion (apparently the extra PS4 achievements are only there because Sony required them), so I have no idea how rare anything I've done has been. I want to talk about the game with someone, but I'm afraid of spoiling and/or being spoiled.

  8. Hah, yea! I'm the user Brent that emailed in with this show suggestion! I am tickled pink with epic bonkness!

    Don't forget the honorable mention for Space Hairier 2 on the Sega Genesis.

  9. I have read many reports that The Witness is giving people motion sickness/nausea. Has anyone here experienced this yet?
