Ep. 83: Leveling Down

Through the magic of level select screens, Emily has once again joined Josh in L.A. So join us in Josh's living room (if you can open up the appropriate dialog chain) to join us for discussions of faux-American accents, the size of the sky, glass elevators, and more. Then join us for a return from the BABY KEY followed by a gift exchange and answers to the Mixxmaster Quiz. So. What are you waiting for? Roll down those windows and feel the healing properties of this episode!

Ep. 82: The Loom

This week we feature some of the greatest patron submissions ever, including a particularly beautiful testimonial and a singularly heartfelt karaoke. In fact, these submissions are so great, that this podcast can ignore its existential dilemma entirely and move forward in the knowledge that it has served a purpose. So park the car, walk beyond the rest stop and into undiscovered lands with Josh and Emily on this week's VGM JUKEBOX!

KBOS

Thought you knew all your local radio stations? Think again! You've just stumbled into an encounter with KBOS, the channel that thrives off the power of the fiercest VGM. In this so-called "Boss Block," the mysteriously reverberating MC promises to lead you through tune groups of progressive intensity until you've survived each "forme." Are you the kind of hero who can withstand such an ordeal? Well, it's too late to back out now -- the moment of truth is upon you! BEGIN!

Ep. 81: Fishing for Birds

Welcome Josh's new microphone in another assignment-driven episode, where Josh & Emily take submissions for the assignment regarding "layers of imagination." The hosts then ask and answer a bunch of weird questions like what if games were made by fish? Finally, we introduce our latest patron, The Baby Key who has sent us testimonials about her videogamic journeys. Get ready for a scenic view of our hosts brains (but don't fall into a coma!) on this installment of The VGM Jukebox.

P.S. We are replaying the Mixx Quiz, so get those pencils ready!

Ep. 80: Churning Out Narratives

Something about the number eighty gets Josh and Emily in a reflective mood, so get comfy in your favorite chair and ponder on the path of totality, Ric Flair's career, and just how many narratives VGMJB has churned out. This week's patron recommendations help us all see the world through layers of imagination, and then the haunted jukebox closes the set with another randomized winner. And speaking of winners, YOU could be the lucky recipient of our extra copy of Sword & Sworcery! Just listen to the episode and challenge yourself with the Mixx Quizx. Rules and instructions are contained within, so listen -- and win!
