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.

And maybe it's time we go again?
