Mar 25, 2013 · 31 minDead Idea Valhalla 24. Skateboard for Legs!
Let's all revisit our favorite musical! One of my favorites. This first bit is all about drugs! Spoiler: I'm not that into them. Then comes the title track from the 2nd Metroids album, My Fiction Suit. It's a little quiet in the mix, unfortunately, but it's all OK because... One of my favorite things I did with Dead Idea Valhalla was making it self referencial as hell. In an early episode, I did a short advert for Hobotown the Musical, along with some fakey song titles. I thought it'd be fun to actually write choruses for all of those songs. It was work intensive, but I love it all the same.

Mar 18, 2013 · 32 minDead Idea Valhalla 23. Fragments
Handsome...aren't I? First off, a thanks to Lou of Lou Reads the Internet for You! for his help with the intro! It's one of my favorite podcasts. So, "The Slender-Rap is definitely a little embarassing. But yeah, I love the idea of abject evil being more annoying than anything. The song in the middle is an unsung favorite of mine from the Metroids. The mix is really suboptimal and doesn't highlight Bojan's great riffing during the chorus. And then some talk about race relations from another very white dude.

Mar 11, 2013 · 27 minDead Idea Valhalla Neo Tokyo Ep.1
Where is the party gland? I know it's bad form to end on a cliff hanger but consider this a sorbet between thrilling episodes of your regularly scheduled program. I've been threatening forever and here it is. New Dead Idea Valhalla. Will this trend continue? Maybe! The first part is just sort of a check in on the general shambles of my life. It's aimless but what else is new? The song is from the covers club, one of the entries I'm really happy about. The final part, which is really the reason why I wanted to do the episode, is born of a conversation I was having with my funny girlfriend about Moby Dick. Enjoy! Tell me what you think. More demand might equal more episodes.

I don't remember the part of Lord of the Rings where Frodo got a sword that would turn things into skeletons... let alone, I don't think he had it in Hobbitton. But that's the least of our worries, as we try and ignore the bitchin' tunes and talk about how weird this action RPG is.

Mar 7, 2013 · 2 hr 51 minWatch Out for Fireballs! 41: Final Fantasy Tactics (Part 2)
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross summon up the courage to talk about the last half of Final Fantasy Tactics. Ramza is a heretic, and the political intrigue we once knew is being replaced slowly by demon possession. FFT is still an amazing game that we would recommend, but its back nine is decidedly inferior to the front.
