With this release we're celebrating our 1 year anniversary of Beeps Bops & Beats! Joshua leads us as we go back to where it all started a year ago with Big Themes from video games... Ranging from 3D fighters, to brawlers, throwback platformers... Iconic RPGs, quirky cyberpunk indie hits, and deeply militaristic post-apocalyptic wastelands... We run the gamut with some of the biggest music in gaming and stories of why each of these hold space in our brains after years or decades after we first heard them.

In today's episode Joshua brings in a slew of tracks from the iconic Monster Hunter Series. Spanning back from the PlayStation 2 in 2004 up through it's most recent release of Monster Hunter Wilds to most modern platforms in 2025, this series has been developed and published by Capcom on every generation of consoles and handhelds in between. The music goes big to match the dragons and various monsters you'll be hunting with a full orchestra to really hit home the epic nature of the hunt, lead by multiple composers throughout the years.

In today's episode Laura serves up some Louisiana charm with South of Midnight, a 2025 action adventure game developed by Compulsion Games and published by Xbox Game Studios. With the collection of southern folk lore at the heart of this game, the soundtrack was composed by Olivier Derivière as he channels the music of the bayou through a range of orchestra and southern instrumentation for a truly unique sound all of it's own.
