Okay, I was laying in bed with the lights off planning to use Radio trivia to ease me to sleep.

then Game #2 came on and within the first few notes, I was sitting up in bed and full of energy.

Jake Kauffman is my cocaine.

I will make another post with my score and overall thoughts of the podcast.

3/5. I need to seriously listen to Game 1's soundtrack in it's full. I really only guessed  it and played the metagame there. Game 2 was... well, see my previous post. Game 3 had me stumped, and I've played it, much like Neal. 4 I had played out of curiosity via somewhat dubious means, and 5 is... well, yeah. I think the show explained it best.

Still, excelent work. I love these shows. <3

Hoohaa! It's strange/neat that all three of my selections have stumped the participants (Windy and Hagane doesn't count since he had to use Wikipedia :P ). I believe I described Game 3's soundtrack as a carnival ride in outer space. I'll have to re-listen to the soundtrack again, because it sounded like some of the crazier tracks didn't make it into Radio Trivia (but I might be wrong, again I'll have to refresh my memory of the music).

I didn't recognize Game 4's music at all. I had to play the meta game to get the last one. I haven't played the game, but the music was familiar, so I thought it had to be the latest one.

Another great show TYP! Radio Trivia is always a welcome treat.

TYP, have you considered getting someone else to help find/record some of the music for Radio Trivia (assuming that would help you get episodes out more frequently)? I really like the podcast, but it would be nice if episodes came out more often.

Glad everyone enjoyed the episode. As far as I'm concerned, Game 3 has one of the weakest soundtracks ever associated with Mario or Nintendo as a whole. I could forgive Nintendo if this were a black box NES game, but there's really no excuse here. I have to think it was a rush job after someone decided to actually release the product.

Yoshi1001, regarding the frequency of Radio Trivia episodes, picking the games/music isn't actually a big factor. The bigger bottle-necks are coordinating with co-hosts on a time to record, the time it takes to actually edit an episode, and outside factors (work, family, etc). If I settled back into a rigid schedule with one or two "regular" co-hosts these would come out more often, but I'm not comfortable making that commitment at this time.
