ReplyDeleteIs that a Tom Rhodes album in front of the TV? One of my absolute favorite comics.
ReplyDeleteKenny - that is a Tom Rhodes album. In addition to LMH, I also edit the Tom Rhodes podcast. Really good stuff!

Hey! Awesome. I listen to that podcast too. I saw Tom Rhodes at the Improve about a month before I left Los Angeles to move to the UK. Great show.
ReplyDeleteGood episode too. Really dug that Streets of Rage 2 track, really acid house.
Does anyone read these comments 5 months later? The tempo, dance feel and ESPECIALLY the bassline from the Streets of Rage 3 track is straight out of "Soon" by My Bloody Valentine -- and 3 years later...
ReplyDeleteYes, the Legacy Music Hour does read them! (And so do some other listeners who are catching up.)
DeleteSpencer, I just read this b/c I just posted THE SAME THING on the newest episode. I had the exact same thought. all those Streets of Rage tracks--or at least "The Poets I" "The Poets II" and "Moon"too a little sound like MBV to me. Great minds...
DeleteIf Kabuki is a beat 'em up then so are Batman: The Game, Ninja Gaiden, and the original TMNT. No sir. These are action platformers, not beat 'em ups. As for Bad Dudes, it's a beat 'em up. You're not ascending vertical levels or navigating tricky jumps, it's just a side-scrolling game with hoards of enemies that occasionally asks you to make a simple jump. Kabuki is FAR more platform-heavy than Bad Dudes is. Bad Dudes is just a beat 'em up with mild platforming elements, but platforming is not a huge part of its gameplay like it is in Kabuki. Beat 'em ups are always very simple, flatly sidescrolling games with hoards of enemies you have to fight through and that's really all the gameplay consists of.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm just gonna say this because TMNT III is insanely underrated: TMNT III: The Manhattan Project is a better game than TMNT IV: Turtles in Time. IV gets all the love just because it has more advanced graphics, but III is way better imo.
Werewolf isn't really a beat 'em up game either.
