Bonus Barrel 71 - Game Music (Part 1)

Bonus Barrel takes on game music. Finally! I'm kind of surprised we haven't touched on game music as a topic before now, but here we are. We love game music and it's definitely going to be more than one episode. We talk about what video game music means to us, how it affects the game, how it stands up as music on it's own and Seigi forces us to create a top 10 ost list (which is quite hard).

Also on today's episode: Rob talks a bit about Fire Emblem Fates and answers his own question. We pitch a Pokemon MMO (to ourselves) and ask whether we could ever eat a pokemon. We have a very long amiibo rant (it's been a while) and Rob gushes over Phoenix Wright. We also talk about Calligula being announced, Import games and if Zelda will be a Wii U exclusive.
