Episode 36: Challenging Games with Dan Laughton

Join Dan and Ed as they share music from some of the most difficult and challenging titles they’ve ever played!

What motivates you to beat a game? Maybe you want to see all the content the developers worked hard on adding to it. Maybe it’s for storyline closure. Maybe leaving a game unfinished causes you stress, and that’s motivation enough. On today’s show, special guest VGMbassador Dan Laughton‘s driving force is to be the very best. Whether it’s completing a speedrun of a title, or being one of a handful of gamers to complete all the challenges in a notoriously difficult game, Dan likes to stick with it until it’s fully mastered. On this episode, join Dan and Ed as they share music from some of the most difficult and challenging titles they’ve ever played!
