Rhythm Encounter 142 - Seize the Artifact For Tallness

Rhythm Encounter 142 – Seize the Artifact For Tallness

Rhythm Encounter 142 - art from Eternal Sonata, Ar tonelico Qoga, Shadows Over Loathing, and Xenoblade Chronicles X

So many of our beloved RPG soundtracks are filled with great music, and often have songs named in the same dramatic flair as the games and their narratives. And then sometimes, we find great tracks in our RPGs with names like “No No I don’t die Noooo!” or “Rouen ‘But-dad-dead-bed’,” and those are the songs we are showcasing in this episode. It’s always entertaining coming across these songs when listening to music, so for this episode, our panelists all chose music we love with offbeat, weird, or otherwise amusing titles.

Featuring: Mike Salbato, Hilary Andreff, Patrick Gann, Audra Bowling; Edited by Paul Dennis
