30 Days of VGM — Day 20: Racing Game Music
Day 20: Racing Game Music Game: F-Zero X Track: Devil’s Call in your Heart I already touched on the original F-Zero via Brawl’s Fire Field remix. F-Zero X, the N64 sequel, also had a pretty good soundtrack. It was extremely metal for video game music at the time, and it started leading me down the metal…

30 Days of VGM — Days 18 & 19: Birthyear & Cover by Different Artist
I completely forgot about writing a post yesterday! Does this mean I failed the challenge? Ah well. Yesterday’s topic was music from a game released in my birthyear (1992), and today’s topic is music covered by a different artist. So let’s just knock them out in one post. Day 18: Music from a Game Released…

30 Days of VGM — Day 17: Music I’m Never Tired of
I think today will be the first “repeat game series,” since I already used Brawl. It’s worth it though. Day 17: Music I’m Never Tired of Game: Super Smash Bros Melee Track: Final Destination It’s worth it cause Melee’s FD theme is so much better. I respect their decision to lean into the Brawl leitmotif…

30 Days of VGM — Day 16: 16-Bit Music
As previously written, 16-bit music is my favorite type of video game music. The SNES is my favorite childhood console, and SNES chiptunes were more-or-less how I initially developed my taste in music. Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite SNES games, but is unusual in that I didn’t play it as a child. I played…

30 Days of VGM — Day 15: Boss Battle Music
I’m pretty tired and sleep-deprived. I wish I were more well-rested for such an important post as Boss Battle Music. But we’re on a schedule here so I’m workin’ with what I got. Day 15: Boss Battle Music Game: Persona 5 Track: Blooming Villain Persona 5 is the only Persona game I’ve played, but it…

30 Days of VGM — Day 14: Music Featuring Vocals
Short post. New WoW patch dropped today so I’m very busy. Speaking of WoW, today is about WoW’s biggest competitor. If you are currently playing through FFXIV’s story, or intend to and care about spoilers, stop reading. But if you’re on the fence, well idk, maybe just don’t watch the video. You probably won’t understand…

30 Days of VGM — Day 13: Music from a Game I Dislike
Holy fuck what a busy day. This one will be quick. And very metal. Day 13: Music from a Game I Dislike Game: DOOM Track: Rip & Tear I love this track. I do not particularly like DOOM. I mean, I don’t hate it, but I’m not really into blood and guts and gore. Plus,…

30 Days of VGM — Day 12: Sad Music
Do visual novels count as games? Probably not, but it’s my list, so I make the rules! Day 12: Sad Music Game: Subarashiki Hibi Track: Yoru no Himawari Let me get this out of the way – I wish I were a visual novel reader, but I’m not. I’ve tried, but it’s just not for…

30 Days of VGM — Day 11: Puzzle Game Music
Day 11: Music Featuring Vocals Game: Helltaker Track: Vitality Alright so this game is mildly horny, so I hope you’re cool with that. Nothing NSFW, mostly just suggestive, and very silly. Helltaker is a quick little puzzle game for free on Steam. I think I saw it while browsing Steam one day? Its art style…

30 Days of VGM — Day 10: RPG Battle Music
I’m a big RPG battle music enjoyer, so today was tough. Fortunately I managed to slot the other major contenders in for other days, and I’m happy with the result. Anyone who’s at all familiar with SNES chiptunes won’t be surprised, but hey, I gotta give it to the GOAT. Day 10: RPG Battle Music…
Got any book recommendations?
