One minute, you see what you think might be the meekest man ever trying to sell you a keyboard from the 90’s, then he busts out his drum skills on said keyboard and you realize one of two things: One, I need to own that keyboard. Two, I vastly underestimated both that man and that […]
For many video game players, one of the elements that creates a fully immersive environment into these fantastical worlds is the music that accompanies you along the journey.
