That was a super fun watch party! Thanks to everyone who tuned in and shout outs again to @ropanuganti.com for handling the Legendary video edits.

My desktop has been crippled since Friday so if I did it there would probably be no stream tonight! I gotta figure that out when I get back from GDC.

90s Anime Lessons Learned:

Megumi Hayashibara theme songs "slapped" as the kids say. They also tricked you into watching some mediocre anime.

The GROOSE IS LOOSE 🐦 Another fantastic moment from our @ongakuoverdrive.com show, throwing a big breakdown in the middle of our Skyward Sword track!

Any other Skyward Sword fans out there?

It feels obvious to say, but women kick ass. In honor of the 35th anniversary of Street Fighter II - which featured one of Yoko Shimomura’s earliest soundtracks - and in honor of Women’s History Month, GameGrooves presents Lightning Kick!

This incredible jacket got some comments so I wanted to share quick pics! It's made by Bitgoblin for the @ongakuoverdrive.com show and yes, the eyes glow and flashed as we played our huge 9 minute Majora's Mask Tribute!

This news absolutely sucks. I've known Will for over 20 years from the local anime cons and then he got really into the FGC. He was running tourneys before CEO was even a thing. I always enjoyed catching up with Will when I saw him. Rest in peace, homie.

This week on Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider: the finest backstory introduction for a character yet. Sure, she's been viciously murdering multiple people, but nobody name dropping so many of the top Japanese pro wrestlers of the 1980s and 1990s is bad. Also shouts out Kenta Kobashi and Jushin Liger

Two people hanging by a grappling hook outside a penthouse window. Inside is a pool filled with blood and a lot of women in bikinis. Text reads "I guess rich people really are sickos."
