For this episode of Beat of the Month we're back to a traditional deep dive with a look at rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush! Some of the crew had played this before and had a good time, others had dabbled and dropped it, and the rest had never played at all. We start by taking a look at the history of Tango Gameworks, the surprise release, and then get into the gameplay, story, and of course - the music! As usual we round things off with some 'rush' related trivia at the end.

If you've never played this game before then as usual be forewarned about spoilers during our deep dive episodes, although for this game there isn't too much to spoil and we tread lightly around the very end of the game. Otherwise grab your headphones, your ipod mini, and join us for this deep dive into Hi-Fi Rush!

The moment has finally arrived - our 5 year episode anniversary celebration is here! Way back between episodes 12 and 13 we snuck in a bonus episode dealing with the origins of 'The Beats'. The purpose of bringing The Beats back was to trim down our backlog of games, and the podcast just happened to come along with it. For our 5 year anniversary we found it fitting to take a look at our backlog and see if that trimming has been successful, as well as why we choose certain backlog games. We then share some games from our backlog and have the other Beats crew members decide our fate by picking a game we will play for the next month. We also have some 5 year anniversary trivia to kick things off and reminisce about all the past episodes. And if that's not enough, it's a rare full crew episode as well!

Five years ago a group of 8 friends who like playing video games decided to start up a podcast, and five years later we're still doing it and having fun. We hope you have fun listening as well, and it means a lot to have people take time out of their day to listen.

For this episode the Beat of the Month crew postpone our 5 year celebration once again, this time to bring you an episode all about Boomer Shooters! What exactly is a Boomer Shooter do you ask? Well that's a good question. They're usually old, but do they have to be old? They're usually first person, but do they have to be first person? You shoot stuff...okay that point we're pretty sure on.

After we get done with the definitive answer on what a Boomer Shooter is, we then get into the different Boomer Shooters we played such as Warhammer 40,000 Boltgun, Doom 64, Anger Foot, and many more! We also reminisce about our time spent at a restaurant beloved by some and indifferent from others. We then wrap things up with a round of trivia that is a boner fied headscratcher. So grab your BFG, shelter yourself from gibs, and join us for this look at Boomer Shooters!
