Episode 041: Games of the Year

Welcome to The Diad Presents!

Happy New Year! I totally forgot to mention that on the show...

Also, I had some bad info while I was putting together the episode. What I thought was "Unused Track 3" is actually called "After the Battle" and appears in game. I'm guessing it's a staff roll or credits track.

I wanted to link to all the magazine scans I used, but I'm worried about legal repercussions of doing so. If you are so inclined, you can find them on your own!
