  1. i always find it so interesting to introduce people who don't play video games to various aspects of video games. I love seeing how things i find normal are unexpected or foreign to those who didn't grow up with them like i did. keep up the great content!

  2. A big reason they often sound like they could be from a movie is because many games aim to tell a story. It’s an art form, much like movies are. Atmosphere is a huge bonus.

  3. I recommend a part 2 with Nier Automata, halo, and Armored Core.
    ….
    Wish u could have explained the meaning behind the lyrics from the MGRR songs to ur GF. They provide quite the insight to the bosses u fight.

  4. You know, other than video games, there's still a ton of music out there from Anime that you may have yet to experience.
    This is one of my favorites by a very famous composer, Yoko Kanno: Ghost in the Shell OST – Torukia I feel like this song would be an appropriate place to start for your channel.

  5. I, as a Destiny fan, am coming after you both. The girlfriend for not liking Desp Stone Lullaby and Marco for not showing her a different one like Oneirophobia once you knew she didn’t like slow ones :((((

  6. You shouls give her a solid game that isnt just a "video game" to do a playthrough….
    Not darksouls…no no….we dont wanna scare her away from our cult-i mean community….

    Something like Ghost of Tsushima to play….were she has to question if shes playing a video game or not….

  7. If you do a 2nd one, some ones I'd recommend;
    Pokemon Scarlet/Violet – Battle! Zero Lab
    Guilty Gear XX – Awe of She
    Tekken 7 – Heat Haze Shadow 1 & 2
    Blazblue Continuum Shift – Sword of Doom
    Streets of Rage 2 – Go Straight
    Super Meat Boy – Dr Fetus' Castle
    Chrono Trigger – Lavos Theme
    Mega Man X – Sigma Stage 2
    Star Ocean 2 – Resolution
    King of Fighters 96 Arranged – Fairy
    Megami Tensei 2 – Omega (Probably the most badass track to release on an NES)

  8. I appreciate Ms Meatballs honesty and she was spot on more often than not. Hope she gives some games and try and hear her opinion on some of the same ones with context.

    Marco you're a delight as always. If you do another one of these I'd like literally any Nier song(pref from the og game but automata is great too) or any song from Yasunori Mitsuda's catalogue from ps1 or earlier(I'm partial to Cross, but any of its good)

    And last but not least 👏 for the excellent editing Nathan. You deserve a cake.

  9. First of all, I know this has been said a thousand times already but you two are adorable!
    Second, I end up this video hoping that someday, you two do a playthrough of Hollow Knight together because that would be an absolute delight to see.
    (or of any of the games in the video, really!)

  10. She seems sweet! I really hope that we get to see more of Ms.Meatballs, if she wants to of course.
    Also, what A great song she chose as her favorite. Narwhal is goated.
    Although Raiden's theme is my favorite, and Awaken is my seconed.
