Music

With Tis

50% video game soundtracks, 110% heart. we're gonna dance, we're gonna feel feelings, and we're gonna make connections.

ep40: many thorned trance mix

the head of the nyu game design program frequently insists that video games are not a literature, but rather something between drugs and pornography, and she's got a point: there are moments in games, particularly in those games designed to induce a flow state, that are utterly consciousness-altering, at least while we're playing them. the music, of course, has a lot to do with that.

so tonight's songs, game-related and otherwise, are meant to trance us, to transport us, to put us outside of ourselves. oh the places we'll go!

we almost out here

Oh BOY

Oh boy!!!!

I thought there was gonna be a commercial break. I did didn’t mean to leave you hanging with that flute.

no worries, we are a resourceful people :)

lovely show!!

cmon!

👽 let's race 👽

Banger alert

The song that was just on the air sounded like a jazzed up version of a piece of music from the Super Nintendo game, Zelda

that is exactly what it was! :D

a medley, to boot

That is friggin AWESOME!!! Beautiful piece of music there. Had no idea something like that even existed.

completely agreed, and welcome aboard :)

Zelda is my favorite video game. I’ve always found the music relaxing. Good job.

📐⚔️✨ 🙏🙏🙏

34 years ago, 1991, my boyfriend at the time took me to TOYS R US on Rt 1 in Lawrencevile and bought me the Super Nintendo. It came with Mario and Zelda. We immediately became addicted to Zelda, and had the hardest time figuring certain stuff out. There was no Internet back then, and phones were still attached to walls. There was a cheat sheet included with the game, but that only worked so far. There was an 800 number to call so one can cheat further. We were constantly on the phone lol.

Coool sounds playlist!

The Nintendo Power hotline!!!!! That is amazing, what a lovely story

Ocarina of Time is a Zelda adventure all time to nerd about! One of the best like Disney's Lion King

100%, and hi Ossy :)

And hi Tis, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker follows up on OOT in different timelines!! Fans also made a fanmade adventure called "The Missing Link"(takes place between OOT and MM)

Looking at Ninja Gaiden, months back, had a NES games playthrough that aired the 1st Ninja Gaiden game and the ending will put you in tears 😢

Those NES endings hit, for some strange reason

Something about the 8-bit of it all, there's a wistfulness

True true totally and still hits right now lol

🥲

Long ago in the middle school days, came across a fan game of Mega Man vs Metroid (8bit), where you play through the metroid planet as Mega Man and in the end, Samus is the boss

oh wow, memory unlocked

i think i played that on newgrounds!

And the same newgrounds where I first came across the iconic Mario and Sonic crossover, Super Mario Bros Z series!

I played mega man vs samus on some other nostalgia site, but long forgot the name

there was also the one where you could play SMB as any of the major NES characters

Ah yes, was going to mention that SMB crossover, in playing Link, Pit, Samus, Contra, Ryu Haybusa, Mega Man, Simon Belmont etc!

Thank you so much for the show!

Tis - Funny you can also play as Zelda, which some can say, flong oreshadows her being playable in Echoes of Wisdom

Hi & I guess bye! :) Good to see you back!!

lovely to be back, and nice to see you Debbie, and thank you TAndy!

g'night all, have a lovely evening :)
