Episode 39: Video Game Music and Sound

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross make some noise about video game music and sound.

We talk about it a lot: music and sound can make or break the game. In this unusual episode of the show, we do a deep dive into the history and particulars of why sound is important.

NOTE: At no point do we talk about Parappa the Rapper in this episode. That’s a travesty.
