Were back on the floor of the Blip Festival for more chiptune madness, and also catch up with some of our favorite game developers. We cannot be held responsible for any face-melting that occurs during watching. We also cannot be held responsible for our own ridiculous hyperbole. Its a condition and we cannot help it.

Interview: Anamanaguchi/RainbowDragonEyes/Failotron
Anamanaguchi is one of the biggest names in the chiptune scene and RainbowDragonEyes had one of the best sets at Blip2009 getting them both in one room nearly opened a rift in spacetime due to awesome overload.
We also revisit with Failotron and learn some lessons of self-promotion.

Feedback: Best Chiptune Game Soundtracks
Instruments. Psssh. Orchestral arrangements. Pffft. Disc-based audio. PFAH! All the real game soundtracks in the world are written in sequencing software and played through sound chips. At least, thats our theory. We asked you to help us back it up, and here are your case studies.
