Episode 295: Famicom

This episode is a console focus, namely on the Famicom.  And with that, it's all Japanese-exclusive game releases.  Let's see what variety of music the Famicom can produce -and you can bet that variety becomes more pronounced when certain games have special sound chips involved.  Aside from the tunes, Brent helps Rob practice acting like an alien for an upcoming audition.  Then they practice telling someone they just wanna be friends with a musical accompaniment.  They also act like buff people at one point.  So lots of stuff to get into here!  Full track listing below.
