Amidst these uncertain times, one of the few constants in my life right now has been our playthrough of Trails of Cold Steel III. I know how ludicrous that sentence sounds, but bear with me. We started the game back … Continue reading Music to My Ears: One-Way to the Netherworld
We’re playing through Trails of Cold Steel III over on our YouTube channel right now, and it’s been an interesting experience going through blind for the first time. In the past, I’d played the earlier games in the Trails series … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Spiral of Erebos
After seven major story arcs and more than 1,050 episodes of the Pokemon anime, the impossible has finally happened: Ash Ketchum won a Pokemon League tournament. After several heartbreaks along the way, getting increasingly close but coming up short, he … Continue reading Ash Ketchum Might Not Be the Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever?
Another day, another Final Fantasy XIV post. This time we’re looking at the boss theme from Stormblood, which really grew on me as we progressed our way through that expansion. Since the last post, our group completed Heavensward and Stormblood … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Triumph (Final Fantasy XIV)

You’re not seeing double — I covered a similar but different theme last year. But since I purchased a Nintendo Switch over the weekend (figuring the only chance I have to play games is with a system that’s portable), I’m … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Ys VIII)
You may have noticed from how many posts I’ve had on the site about video game music, but it’s kinda my jam. There’s nothing quite like having the perfect soundtrack to go with a given moment or stage in a … Continue reading Music to My Ears: TURN THE BEAT BACK
There’s just something about the squishy noises at the start of this song that get me, you know? Metroid Prime seemed like a huge risk at the time of its release. You want to take a trusted Nintendo franchise and … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Menu Theme (Metroid Prime)
