Is that good? Yeah. Yeah, okay.

Hello. Hello. For those of us, for those of you who have not done this with us before.

Yeah, I think once you do it to yours in a row becomes a tradition. That's the rule. Right. Ready to show your right. Yeah, because you can't really say the first annual because that's presumptuous. Yeah.

But we do it for a second year in a row. That's probably a good thing. So I'm your host Arthur Geese. This feels so wrong. It's Arthur. I'm Anthony. Also joining us is Ryan Adonnell. Hey. Who is here for the first one? That's right.

And also joining us this year is Kevin Van Ward from GameSpot. Ray. I'm here. Also just a human being. He doesn't have to be of GameSpot, but.

Not you guys. Informs who you is. Um.

So we're going to talk about the music that we've liked in games basically throughout the year. This isn't about ranking stuff because I don't really want to rank stuff right now because we get to do that later.

That's the else the best ever. I will cut you. But we've got a bunch of stuff we want to talk about. So we'll get right to it.

I think for Ryan, probably the soundtrack that defined the year or sort of set the tone for the year was Fez, right? Yeah, definitely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's the one I called out last year during this exact same podcast because I had a three track sampler at that point that was released for the Venus Patrol Kickstarter, I believe.

Did you like point your finger to the fence? Yeah, I didn't call it.

The best soundtrack of next year will be the Fez soundtrack. And.

Well, congratulations.

Yeah, you still feel that it's like one of your favorites for sure. They are like, it's not the favorite. Yeah, yeah. I actually.

I got it early before it was cut into tracks. There was just like one long hour and 20 minute, like just one single track version of the soundtrack that Phil Fish gave to me during GDC time.

And I remember going out on a walk one morning, like right after I got it and putting it on. And this is actually before I played the game.

And I was like really enjoying it, but it got to one specific part. And I just like got goosebumps and like almost started to cry on my walk because it was just like so.

It's just very really. What's that? It's very pretty and it manages to be ambient without being forgotten. Did he make the music too? No, it's done by a gentleman named disaster piece who actually his name is Rich Freeland.
