Oh how the mighty have fallen

Hades 2 soundtrack is fucking ridiculous. Forget 2025 being a year just for great games; this is the same year we got soundtracks for a new Mario Kart, Hades, DOOM and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!

Give this a listen if you want to learn more about what goes into creating a GRAMMY-winning video game arrangement and the amazing communities surrounding video game music covers and arrangements!

Dunno who needs to hear this but just found out PlayStation Plus Premium subscription includes access to 100+ movies via Sony Pictures Core.

Brian Tyler returning as composer to the new Mario film is a massive fucking W. Lives and breathes video games. Interviewed him a while back and was blown away by how much he knew about Nintendo games and music.

Yes if you're still keeping tabs on what's happening in the games I mentioned!

Can anyone help me with this? If you're a die-hard rhythm game fan and regularly play YARG, Clone Hero, and/or Fortnite Festival, I have some questions I'd love answering about a story I'm working on for the next issue of my music and gaming newsletter.

On the latest ep, Mat & Tom chat about Clair Obscur (what else?) & the news around Duolingo's purchase of Beat Star devs & original Guitar Hero devs getting the band back together.
