LXXXII
By Calum Marsh | 1 November 2010
With my sincerest thanks to all the artists, labels, and publicity folks involved, this week’s podcast is dedicated to the rigorous training regime I assume we’ve all undertaken to prepare for the release of the new Call Of Duty game next week. Because stepping up your game requires more than simply frittering away a year’s worth of sick days to spend every precious waking hour improving your K/D ratio; it demands the cultivation of an ideal environment for focused gaming and, by extension, the pwning of n00bs. Thus: mood music! I present here a collection of atmospheric tunes designed to keep mind sharp and your vainglorious kill-spirits soaring. Remember, your enemies are well-slept and frustratingly talented, and you need every advantage you can muster—so stock up on energy drinks, pop this on the deck, and let the pixel-blood flow.
