Rock Out With Your Cart Out 54 – Is That Supposed to be Singing?
As I did last year, I’m putting this episode out in remembrance of my grandma, Florence Kara. She passed away February 9th, 2019, and I want to keep this tradition going of putting an episode out that has pieces of music that I correlate with memories of her. Sometimes, the music itself has something to […]
GAJ Game Club – Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King
This time, we’re digging into the Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King collection. Join John Lucero, Vanessa Cahill, and Jason Arriola as they dig into the history of the games themselves and how the many iterations of the games included on the collection have held up. Our logo was created by Vanessa Cahill. […]
ROWYCO 41 – Waterworld (SNES)
Sometimes something comes up and disrupts your plans. Well, this is exactly one of those instances. I had something entirely different planned for this episode, but then Dean Evan’s Waterworld soundtrack landed in my lap and I had to talk about it. Also, go check out his YouTube channel. He’s uploaded a few of his […]
ROWYCO 38 – My Name’s Not Florence, It’s Zelda
This week, I’m starting what is likely to be an annual tradition. About a year ago, February 9th, 2019, to be exact, my grandmother passed away. As you’ll hear in this episode, I’ve got a ton of memories of her with game music attached to them. Maybe it’s a bit of a stretch, but I […]
ROWYCO 35 – Terranigma – Part Two (SNES)
Let’s wrap up Terranigma’s soundtrack! There’s a few less tracks in here than the last episode, but the quality more than makes up for the quantity. Miyoko Takako and Masanori Hikichi really put together something special here and I’m really glad I got to this when I decided on covering the Gaia Trilogy. The ROWYCO […]
ROWYCO 34 – Terranigma – Part One (SNES)
Here we are, on the home stretch of another four part series. This episode, I go over part of Terranigma’s soudntrack. This is the final entry in the loosely connected series of games by Quintet, sometimes known as the Gaia Trilogy. Miyoko Takako and Masanori Hikichi handled the compositions for this one and, as former […]
ROWYCO 33 – Illusion of Gaia (SNES)
The second entry in Quintet’s “Gaia Trilogy” is Illusion of Gaia and it really feels like a huge step up from Soul Blazer in terms of both gameplay and its soundtrack. Yasuhiro Kawasaki handled the compositions on this one and I really feel like he nailed it out of the park on this one. This […]
ROWYCO 32 – Soul Blazer (SNES)
This week, I’m starting my dive into the first part of the “Gaia Trilogy” of games made by Quintet, Soul Blazer. I think this might be the weakest of the soundtracks I cover in this series, but there’s still plenty to like about its soundtrack. I was probably a little more harsh on it when […]
GAJ Game Club – The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Jason Arriola is joined by Richard Balmer and Stephanie Kulak to talk about their favorite Zelda game – The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This is not only one of the best games ever made, it also set the structure for nearly every game in the series until Breath of the Wild released last year. It balances […]
GAJ Game Club – Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together – Part 1
It’s been a long time coming, but the first part of our Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together Game Club is finally here. Jason Arriola is joined by Joshua Carpenter and Johnatan Stringer from RPGamer (that’s R-P-Gamer, not R-P-G-Gamer) to discuss Jason’s favorite game at great length. In the first part of this episode, they cover […]
