Watch Out for Fireballs! is a game club podcast, focused on retro and non-current games. Every week, we play a game in its entirety, then discuss its merits and flaws at length. Most episodes begin with a short sketch, and we're pretty liberal about keeping tangents in. But it ultimately comes down to: Why do we like (or dislike?) this game.

Episode 39: Video Game Music and Sound
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross make some noise about video game music and sound.
We talk about it a lot: music and sound can make or break the game. In this unusual episode of the show, we do a deep dive into the history and particulars of why sound is important.
NOTE: At no point do we talk about Parappa the Rapper in this episode. That’s a travesty.
