Let's close out the decade strong with video game music composer, audio engineer, and remixer James Landino! He's produced a ton of great video game remixes and EDM, and he's also engineered audio and music for many video games, including Rock Band 4 and Amplitude HD.

We talk about all that, breaking into the game industry at Harmonix, game dev stories, rhythm games, running the Pose Nightclub programming at MAGFest this weekend, what he's working on now, and more. Find out more about James Landino at jameslandino.com.

We all either personally, or know someone who has spent hours over the years playing the Rock Band franchise of video games rocking out to some of our favorite music, or learning about some news songs to fall in love with.

Guest Matt Boch of Harmonix joins Kevin to talk about the latest Rock Band experience that they are using to truly take you to center stage with their first VR offering simply called Rock Band VR.

Available soon on the Oculus Rift, Rock Band VR will use the upcoming Oculus Rift Touch controllers which attach to most existing Rock Band guitars to let you rock out to a set list of over 50 songs when it launches while looking out at that crowd in ways you've never been able to do so without physically being on stage.

We are really looking forward to this experience and would love to hear your thoughts on Rock Band VR so make sure to let us know what you think.

[Recorded at PAX Prime 2015] Host: Ash -- People ask all the time: how did you get that job in games? Well, for this group, the answers are convoluted and, often, completely nuts. From meeting a friend through our mom's writer's groups to creating videogame-inspired outfits, follow our wild, weird paths into games. Maybe you'll get inspired to find your own random way in.
