    Episode 242: 9/11 - The Day The Towers Fell

    Tuesday, September 11, 2001… 8:46 am EST – Flight 11 hits the North Tower between floors 93 and 99, killing everyone on board. Many inside die immediately or are trapped above the crash zone 9:03 am EST – Flight 175 hits the South Tower between floors 77 and 85. 9:59 am EST – The South Tower collapses. 10:28 am EST – The North Tower collapses.   On the morning of this event, I woke up to news reports of one of the Twin Towers being hit by an airplane, initially thinking it was some movie preview. As I drove to work, the other Tower was hit, with the realization that the United States was being attacked after receiving reports of the Pentagon being hit. By the time I parked my car, the South Tower fell. The North Tower fell after I arrived at my desk. More reports came of a fourth airplane that crashed in Pennsylvania that was believed to be on its way to Washington D.C. The mood was somber, with some employees crying at their desk. The drive home was quiet as I listened to music. At home, I watched the news report and comment on the day’s events and later the President’s address. For this week’s episode, I will be paying tribute to 9/11, talking about some of the video games affected by it: A mission for Foxhound about a new Metal Gear mecha, a superhero about to fight a boss at the top of the world, and cybernetic agent in the aftermath of a terrorist attack. While there are covers and remixes to follow, no hot takes will be made. Please note that the podcast opens with several sound bites of the live broadcast of 9/11, which may be graphic in nature. If you’d rather not listen them, you may skip to 9:05, where the commentary starts.   Patriot Day (9/11) 9/11 News Coverage, CNN LIVE September 11 – 13, 2001 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty “Hideo Kojima says Metal Gear Solid 2 had to make 300 changes and was almost cancelled in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks” Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro “Game Makers Cut Images of Destruction” Deus Ex Deus Ex (VG Facts) “President George W.

    Episode 241: In Honor of Tim Curry

    Several people passed away last week: Dolly Parton, Peter Cullen, and Tim Curry. Dolly Parton was the Queen of Country and an American Sweetheart that saw the good in everything and everyone. Peter Cullen was the voice of leadership and strength through Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots from “The Transformers”, an 80s cartoon. Tim Curry is an actor and singer who’s talent span all forms of entertainment: from movies like Annie and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, to cartoons figures such as Captain James T Hook from “Peter Pan and the Pirates” and Konk from “The Pirates of Dark Water.” Today’s episode will pay tribute to Tim Curry by playing tracks from those video games he has lent his voice: A New Orleans detective haunted by nightmares, a mysterious guy who kidnaps most of the Mystery Gang except its dog, and an Arl who tries to stop the Grey Wardens to obtain power. We’ve also got covers and remixes to follow each track, but for this episode there will be no commentary on the tracks.

    Episode 237: Slithering Through the Sea (National Sea Serpent Day)

    Today on August 7th is National Sea Serpent Day, also known as Sea Dragon Day. It commemorates those mythological creatures that appear in many cultural and urban folklore. One of the more famous sea serpents is the Loch Ness Monster, nicknamed “Nessie”, supposedly photographed in Scotland. While the photograph has been debunked, Nessie definitely left a big mark of wonder and awe in society. Also, monsters thought to be mythical then have been confirmed to be real animals now, such as the giant oarfish, perceived by the Japanese as messengers of the sea god’s palace and thought to be omens of earthquakes and tsumani. This week, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature sea serpents: a cousin of Nessie that helps student across the lake, a sea-dweling snake with a poisonous bite and paralyzing breath, and a worldly serpent that speaks a language long forgotten. Following these original tracks are remixes, with a special note that some are from OC Remix.

    Episode 235: Cruising the Road (National Day of Motoring)

    Before you lies the open road, with its many twists and turns, entrances and exits, and at times a path less used or paved. Your map shows the network of roads that pass through or end at a city or stop. There’s a destination in mind, guided by a general direction that needs to be taken. Today, we’re celebrating National Day of Motoring, on July 24th, a day launched by MINI USA, the manufacturer of the Cooper, for the pure joy of driving for fun. At first, MINI encouraged their owners to take part in a nationwide rally to complete tasks and check in at certain stops along their route. Then it grew beyond the brand to include classic and modern cars. This day is meant for drivers and their passengers to explore new roads and destinations and share in the experience. We’re playing tracks from video games that evoke the sense of motoring: a rally to one of five destinations, a racing adventure in Mexico, and a circuit of tracks across various countries. There’s also remixes to follow each of these original tracks. Time to shift into Drive and hit the gas!   “National Day of Motoring” Out Run Forza Horizon 5 Horizon Chase       Track Listing “Magical Sound Shower” – [Out Run] – composed by Hiroshi Kawaguchi “Out Run “Magic Sound Shower” theme (Arcade/Sega Saturn)” – remixed by Tee Lopes “Encanto” / “Main Menu/Menu” – [Forza Horizon 5] – composed by Urbandawn “Forza Horizon 5 – Menu Theme [Overlay remix]” – remixed by Overlay Music “Title Theme” – [Horizon Chase] – composed by Barry Leitch “Title Theme (Yrae Araujo Remix)” – remixed by Yrae Araujo   YouTube channel Discord channel     Source
