Episode #449 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth salute the men and women who've served in the armed forces with a special Veterans Day episode dedicated to the soldiers, survivors, and battle-hardened heroes of video game history! From the muddy trenches of World War I and the frozen battlefields of the Eastern Front to the deserts of Dubai and the far reaches of a galaxy far, far away, we're exploring the courage, camaraderie, sacrifice, and lasting scars of war.
Not every battlefield looks the same, and this week's musical deployment takes a few unexpected detours. We'll fight alongside Rambo, brave the Great War, march through the ruins of Stalingrad, uncover the horrors of a mission gone terribly wrong, and remember the soldiers who never made it home. Along the way, we'll enlist a certain Springfield billionaire, learn a little discipline at Miyagi-Do, wage a one-man war on crime, and race against the clock with Jack Bauer before bringing everything to a thunderous conclusion in Fódlan. So fall in, turn up the volume, and join us as we honor those who've served and reflect on the cost of conflict.
