Rhythm Encounter 32 – Terminus Est

You know that feeling when you geek out with a bunch of awesome people about awesome final boss music from awesome RPGs? That’s what we have for you today with the third mega-sized (over 3 hours!) episode in our miniseries on battle themes. We’re bursting at the seams with cool picks and some cool people to talk about them with, so get ready to teach those big bads a lesson they’ll never forget…with music!

It’s been a long road, but Rhythm Encounter has finally reached the final boss in our miniseries on battle themes! The regular crew is joined by the awesome and social media savvy Stephanie Sybydlo as we listen to some choice music while saving the world (and sometimes, the galaxy too). We fight evil space aliens, would-be gods, and even the occasional primal in our quest to play amazing final boss tunes, and our recent music selection isn’t too shabby either.

Note: We had to re-number our episodes several years after publishing. This was originally Episode 25, as reflected in the audio. Don’t worry, you’re not missing anything!

Featuring: Stephen Meyerink, Caitlin Argyros, Mike Salbato, Stephanie Sybydlo
