For #VGMWednesday this week, here's the customization menu theme from Custom Robo, "Are You Ready?"

I have vague memories of renting this game from the local video rental store some twenty years ago. I definitely remember enjoying it at the time. While I can't speak to whether the game itself holds up, the soundtrack definitely does!

@nprofile1q... The Definitive Edition is a major rework of the original game. Basically took the decade of experience on the original release and expansions and fixed a lot of the issues that became more evident over the years. Keywords have been added to make the cards less wordy, phase triggers are color coded and in turn order, better tokens, health spinners, new art, etc. Characters are reworked to be more consistent, with more ways to cards critical to how certain characters work, and the overall pace of the game tends to be snappier as a consequence.

Sentinels of Earth-Prime is a spin-off game that uses characters and settings from the Mutants and Masterminds RPG. It was released shortly before the Definitive Edition, and it shows. While it sticks to using the original tokens, doesn't add keywords or color-coded phases, it does highlight phase triggers, and the characters generally feel more consistent like the definitive edition.

Sentinels of Earth-Prime can be played with the original release of Sentinels of the Multiverse right out of the box. There's a couple adjustments necessary to mix between the Definitive Edition and older content, but it's not too much trouble.

Started getting back into the habit of tracking board game plays in BG Stats.

May is a good example of where things have been lately. My usual group has fallen into mostly playing Slay the Spire and Sentinels of the Multiverse. While I'd like to hit a wider variety of games, picking out things that the others are willing to play can be difficult, unfortunately.

Late #VGMWednesday post!

Always had a soft spot for the classic Doom E1M1 music, At Doom's Gate. Sure, it's a blatant riff on Metallica's Master of Puppets, but it's a great tune in its own right.

In 2016, Andrew Hulshult—the guy behind the soundtracks for Dusk, Amid Evil, Prodeus, and even the Iron Lung film—released IDKFA, where he rearranged and recorded the entire soundtrack with real instruments. Pretty great stuff—enough so that it ships with modern builds of Doom and Doom 2!

Played Pandemic: Fall of Rome yesterday. Two turns away from victory, but a particularly nasty chain of card draws ended the game with four chain sackings. (Outbreaks in standard Pandemic) Rome did indeed fall.

If you're looking for cheap sleeves for board games, Sleeve Kings has 30% off sleeves until tonight at 11:59 PM MDT. (UTC-6) Their standard sleeves are 60 microns, so slots between penny sleeves and "premium" sleeves. They're pretty great for the price.
