[Episode 44] This month, barSILENCE embraces winter as more than just cold days and long nights with an all-new playlist of frosty video game music.
In this year's Winter Mix, we're listening to 25 tracks from games released between 1994 and 2018. Each of these selections captures the quiet of snow-covered mornings and the icy sounds that make winter feel like a season of possibility and new beginnings.
Tune in, grab a warm drink, and let’s start our “New Game Plus” for the year ahead.
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
