At the end of the show, the Kickstarter met 50% of its goal! It needs all the support it can get in the final stretch. If you love sci-fi, traveling through time to exact revenge, and platformers…not to mention fantastic art and music, support this game! You can check out the Kickstarter page here.

1H1D!!!
This week, Noise Channel goes back to Japan, specifically Kyoto and the 1H1D group. Someone requested that we do another show featuring Japanese chiptune artists and we are happy to oblige! TrueStar was also unhappy with the way some of the people in the US chiptune acted this past week – which she talks about on the show.
So…whatever. We’re going to Japan.
If you like the tracks from this episode, you can purchase 1H1D’s albums on their Bandcamp website. Continue reading »

Shovel Justice!
We’ve made it to 100. In truth there have been more than 100 episodes, but we’ve messed with the numbers to line it up with this very special occasion.
We transported out equipment to Yacht Club Games and broadcast the show from their office. Earlier that day their first game, Shovel Knight, was released to the North American public. We were there to celebrate of the game as well as the released of the OST and arranged album by Jake ‘virt’ Kaufman.
Sean Velasco and Nick Wozniak from Yacht Club Games join TrueStar and virt to talk about Shovel Knight and its soundtrack. It’s also a very long episode at five hours, so get comfortable.
You can purchase Shovel Knight right now on Steam, Wii U, or 3DS for $15. You can download both the OST and arranged album on virt’s Bandcamp site. Both albums are price as ‘pay what you want’.
Thank you to all of our listeners for supporting the show all the way up to the 100th episode and beyond! We love you!
***Yes there is an episode 99.6. It was not archived per the artist’s request.
