LMH Mixtape #92: Punching and Kicking 2

What is it that makes a "true" beat 'em up game?  Is it the punching and kicking, or is hacking and slashing equally legitimate?  Does it count if your deadly weapon is your own hair?  Is EVERY game just a beat 'em up at its core?  These were the difficult questions the boizz asked themselves during their second setlist of Punching and Kicking tunes, now presented to you in mixtape form.

LMH Mixtape #91: Cartoons

In theory, Episode 91 was all about cartoons -- but in practice it was basically a focus on ducks.  Donald, Darkwing, Daffy, and Scrooge are all represented here, along with a few of their non-avian colleagues too.  Throw in some Inspector Gadget, Little Nemo, and Beavis and Butt-head for good measure, and you've got a pretty eclectic lineup of toon tunes.
