Episode 206: Halloween (Live)

Recorded in September, Episode 206 was conducted live at the Bit Bar in Salem, Massachusetts, a town known for witches and Halloween related stuff.  And very organically, witches, Frankenstein, werewolves, clowns, and other monsters came up in conversation, not really because of being in Salem or October coming up the month after, but mostly related to talking about the music.  This wasn’t meant to be a Halloween episode, but it just accidentally worked out that way.  Also, treats (prizes) were given out to raffle ticket winners, and Rob and Brent even received some treats theirselves.  Plus, a couple VGM karaoke performances.  Thanks to Max Clark and Bit Bar Salem for making it all happen.  Note: You can click the photo to see it bigger.  Full track listing below.

Episode 105: Castlevania

Just in time for Halloween, Brent and Rob focus on the Castlevania series.  Spanning about 13 games through the 8-bit and 16-bit era, Brent and Rob seem to concentrate more on the 8-bit stuff.  Subsequently, none of the SNES games made this episode.  It's still good though.  The boys also share stories about scary things and Halloween plans.  Happy Halloween LMH listeners!  Full track listing below.
