Rock Out With Your Cart Out 50 – 30 Day Video Game Music Challenge

I made it to fifty episodes! It’s been a hell of a ride getting here, so I thought I’d do something that shows the diversity of (or some may argue my lack of)  my tastes in video game music. This was originally a Twitter thing I saw that I thought would make a good episode of the show. So, here we are, with the longest episode I’ve ever put together. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I had getting it together for you!
