This week, NGI welcomes legendary composer Grant Kirkhope as part of an episode paying tribute to his career as a composer for critically-acclaimed Rare titles like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64, as well as the recently-released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning from Big Huge Games. Grant speaks extensively with Kyle, Larry, & Slider about his work on Amalur, as well as sharing his thoughts on his time with Rare and giving some background on the soundtracks for Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye, as well as sharing the history behind the infamous DK Rap. He also weighs in on the pepperoni debate from NGI’s Meat Special: you’ll have to listen to hear what his verdict is!

The NGI crew also discuss the new Taco Bell Doritos Locos Tacos, and Slider pays tribute to the Kirkhope fun by drawing what could be the best game/food marketing tie-in EVER. You don’t want to miss this packed episode of Nitro Game Injection!

For the second year in a row, host jmr attended MAGFest with a mission: document as many of the concerts as possible.  Armed with a portable audio recorder and a few too many 5 Hour Energy shots (and with some assistance from fellow Arecibo Radio host Obtuse), he attended and recorded just about all of the scheduled performances on the MAGFest Main Stage, Second Stage, and in the chip showcase in order to bring you this, the Open Circuit MAGFest X Recap special.

This week’s show features audience recordings from each of the performances on Thursday and Friday, including a one of a kind medley of UN Squadron and T-Square from Temp Sound Solutions, new chip tracks from Disasterpeace and Revengineers, Rare Candy riding the (double? triple!) Rainbow Road, an epic rendition of Ecco the Dolphin from This Place Is Haunted, and a facemelting performance of the entire NES Metroid soundtrack by Metroid Metal (which clocks in at a whopping 26 minutes)!

Tune in next Saturday for Part Two, which will feature recordings from Saturday’s performances!
