   50.4 - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Part 4)

   The path of war is long, and it leads here. And I mean LONG. Like, really long. Almost two years long, it turns out. But we’ve finally arrived, we’ve finally entered the finale of Smashterpiece #50, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Against all odds we have arrived to liberate our people, or more specifically liberate your ears from not having a podcast to play in them. Sure, that may not be as glorious as Ike’s crusade to free a kingdom and return a princess to her home, but if you squint real hard you can barely tell the difference. We’re essentially heroes in basically the same exact way as Ike if you really don’t think about it! Could this be considered stolen valor? Probably. Join us next time as we all become orphans in Smashterpiece #51, MOTHER 3!

   Pixel Symphonic Episode 1 - Peter Spezia

   If you’re seeing this, you might be confused! This is not Smashterpieces, what manner of trickery is this? This is the first episode of Joe’s new podcast Pixel Symphonic, it’s being dropped onto this feed just this one time in order to make sure it reaches YOUR EARS! We hope you enjoy! — It’s time for the inaugural episode of a brand new outing! Pixel Symphonic is a show about video game music. We’re here to learn and talk about it with the people who make it, the people who listen to it, and everything in between. This new show will be releasing one episode a month, with a new guest each month. For my first guest it just felt right to bring on my old Original Soundchat cohost Peter Spezia. He may be retired and out of the game now, but there’s nobody else in the world I like talking about game music with more. Our conversation goes into how we got into video music through largely the same entry point, and also Peter’s favorite soundtrack from his adult years. This episode features music by Nor, Takahiro Nishi, Shogo Sakai, Masaaki Iwasaki, David Wise, Michiko Naruke, Jun Senoue, Nobuo Uematsu, Yuka Tsujioko, Kenji Ito, Jun Ishikawa, Noriyuki Iwadare, Kenichi Nishimaki, Yoko Shimomura, Shoji Meguro, and ACE.

   50.3 - Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Part 3)

   Hello children, have you ever heard of WAR? Depending on who you ask about it, you may hear it described in a variety of ways. Some say it never changes. Some say it has changed. Some ask what it’s good for and others answer “absolutely nothing.” Here at the Smashterpieces School of Radiance we have our own answer: war is a ballista that crits several times in the span of a single battle. What the hell, man? That just doesn’t seem right, but the numbers don’t lie. The numbers only hurt. We’ll be back next time for our final installment of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, for war can only continue to march on.
