Episode 054: It’s Showtime!

 Welcome to The Diad Presents!

1,650,240 minutes later, we're back. Enjoy the show!

P.S./Warning: I goofed up part of my audio recording for the voiceover.  Alan did some magic to save it, but there may be some annoying artifacts still here and there.  But there is no way I was doing it again. 

I think the VGM all turned out clean.

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.

Episode 035: Dungeons & Dragons

Welcome to The Diad Presents!

You find yourself sitting at a well-worn table in a tavern called "The Meddlesome Metroid." The drinks are weak, and the serving staff hasn't a full set of teeth between them. It's your kind of place.

You stare into your mug of yellow water and ponder your next adventure. A pixelated figure approaches and taps you on the shoulder. "Fancy a podcast?" he asks...
