We’re talking Shadowrun, […]
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.

Doctor Who: Take On Me
I think it’s now old enough to become cool again – so you might a) remember A-Ha’s “Take On Me” and b) be okay with enjoying it. It’s a famous video with some skilful animation. What we have here is a video from Richard Swarbrick that was picked up by The Flixx, tweaked and the […]
