RPGFan Podcast (Random Encounter) Thread

[Monsoon]

If you guys record a future pod in such a manner so as to get me passed out by the 30-minute mark, I won't judge. If I survive.

[Yggdrasil]

That makes me sound very diplomatic and will make listeners sound very drunk.

But I don't drink alcohol nor hear most of the podcast you guys do (sorry about that).

The RPGFan Podcast: Here's the thing. I see where you're coming from, but... Metal Gear Solid.

I should have picked something lighter for this drinking game.

Red Bull.

Whenever I say, "Here's the thing."

Are you trying to make us vomit?

I'm at the end of the Rhythm Encounter #2 and I really enjoyed hearing the main theme/overworld themes I already knew I loved, in order of my favorite:

1. FF7
2. DQ8
3. FF9
4. FF6
5. CT
6. CC
7. Golden Sun

Many of the rest of them were my first-listens and they sound like great picks.

The Golden Sun 2 Sakuraba pick motivated me to come here and give you all my favorite map song of all time, and as well, my favorite video game piece of all time:

Nice pick-- I always enjoyed Sakuraba's Shining Force tunes. To be honest, it's probably part of the reason why I enjoyed Golden Sun's music so much-- it was definitely in the same vein as the Shining stuff. Also Synbios is the man.

I'm glad you liked the songs you hadn't heard before. There were a handful of tunes here that I hadn't heard either, and I'm glad I did-- the Phoenix Wright music in particular was totally awesome, and I really, really loved the Burgen Kingen Origins world map theme.

Episode 59 is live. 

Note: This is what happens when John isn't around to keep us on track!

[John]

I like how he's blaming me like it's my fault.  Did Stephen play the voicemail for you of what I sounded like?

Fact: he requested I say "War, War Never Changes."

I was listening to the music show this morning, and when they talked about the Persona 4 song sounding not quite like actual English, it made me think of the song Prisencolinensinainciusol. It's from the early 70s, and it's pretty trippy.

I'm not even going to bother to reword the Wikipedia entry on it:
The song is deliberately meant to sound to its intended Italian audience like English spoken with an American accent, but the lyrics are actually pure gibberish, with the exception of the words "all right."

Celentano's intention with the song was to explore communications barriers. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang — which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian — I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."

(Thanks for listening to the music show, Tooker!)

It's pretty legit.

[Lard]

Please tell me you seriously didn't give up on Nocturne.

I couldn't even get through the podcast. Robbie saying every game needs to be like Persona, Demons Souls or a Western RPG turned me off completely.

[Taelus]

I don't think Rob said that...?

I'm pretty sure he was suggesting that more RPGs need to include additional MEANINGFUL interaction with the game outside of combat, and I couldn't agree more.
