Larry continues to shake off the debilitating disease that caused him to miss MAGFest XI, so Kyle flies solo for one segment before getting joined by Rexy, prolific OC ReMixer and host of the brand new show from our friends at RadioSEGA: SEGA Mixer Drive! Slider also makes her grand return and has a rather saddening announcement regarding her future on NGI. Rexy also calls Kyle’s manhood into question thanks to his affinity for the color purple, and the two recount some of the great acts from MAGFest last week while listening to some great music from Yuzo Koshiro, On Being Human, Armcannon, VikingGuitar, coda,  Benjamin Briggs, The OneUps, and more!

Space.  The final frontier.  These are the voyages of the starship Open Circuit.
Its 3 3/4 hour mission: To explore strange new music.  To seek out new life and new civilizations.
To boldly go where no internet radio show has gone before.

So, yeah.  jmr watched 2001: A Space Odyssey last night, which inspired him to scrap all existing plans for this show and do a SPACE (yes, all caps ) themed episode.  With the help of the requests of few dedicated listeners the playlist grew to over fifty songs, clocking in at over 3 hours 46 minutes, making this the longest Open Circuit to date!

Note: This week’s show is not for the faint of heart. It truly is NSFW. You have been warned.

NGI shifts gears back to it’s normal format and lays on the offensiveness with a vengance. Andreas “SnappleMan” Kotsamanidis joins us this week for an interview the reveals absolutely nothing about his community influence or contributions, but rather more personal information about himself than you ever wanted or needed to know. We also talk hentai games, take a look at the greatest game arrangement album ever, shine the spotlight on upcoming doujin events, and pay our respects to the late Reuben Kee. All this and more on this edition of Nitro Game Injection!
