This week, the Video Game Music Show concentrated on live performances. There’s a few which are not so live, and I decided to put some comedy in there every half-hour or so.
Some great performances from orchestras, covers and bands. The major performances are from professional groups that do live events, although there are a few amateur pieces. Major themes from big games are featured, all great renditions.
Comedy-wise, we have some neat random tributes to games, the infamous Coast-to-Coast with Gordon Freeman, and some real audio atrocities.
Finally, this show is actually in stereo this time! Yes, I managed to sort the “problem” of me recording in mono. The sizes of the files are increased somewhat, but the quality is a lot better (the OGG download is recommended).
