Critical Strike
Critical Strike is formed by Josh, Kyle and Billy who fortnightly get together and basically talk about video games or celebrate one of our favorite things, video game music.
Episodes
Well well, it's been quite some time now hasn't it! Only a few years, but who is counting. Just wanted to spend a little time and work on a music episode, I was going through some files and found a few music episodes I never finished years back and that inspired me to want to make a new one. I wouldn't count on anything in the future but you never know! I may consolidate all those old episodes and make one large complete one.

It's been a long time since our last release, who knows what the future will hold! I hope everyone enjoys it though as it was a fun process to revisist that we clearly have not done since 2018. Thanks for all your support.
Music in this episode: Hollow Knight, Octopath Traveler 2, Elden Ring, Super Mario RPG, Tetris Effect Connected, Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel'...
I can't believe it's been this long, but also I can totally believe it's been this long with the way the last year has gone for myself and the gang. While doing this I had to sit back and really remember how to compile and do all the work for an episode, that is truly sad. Anyway, thank you for listening to this and I hope you enjoy it, this episode has been lying around my drive for quite sometime so I figured I should finish it u...
It's been quite a bit of time since we've recorded and sadly it isn't for a lack of effort. Lots of personal things have popped up but lets also be honest, there has not been a lot of games to play, or any that we've at least felt like talking about. We did manage to get some stuff in, plus we had a pretty darn good listener question! Here is what we discussed this episode: Mario Kart 8, 20XX, more Mass Effect, Firewatch, ABZU, Fin...
We now welcome back our Nintendo overlord, at least until we all get through Zelda and have nothing to play on the Switch! Let's be honest, everyone knew this episode was basically just going to be us gushing over Zelda and discussing a few other things so here it is. Here's what we discussed on this episode: The Nintendo Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Kyle stories!

We're back to bring a bit of holiday cheer and discuss some pointless crap like games! There were some weird discussions in this episode, especially how one of us will sleep occasionally. Next episode we'll more than likely discuss our game of the year lists as well! Here is what we talked about on this episode: Pokémon Moon, Final Fantasy XV, No Man's Sky, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, The Witcher 3, Watch_Dogs 2 and some interesting ...
Sorry for the delay with releasing this! With the holiday and a busy work week it became difficult to settle down and get this out. Otherwise, we finally got back together and decided to record another episode. Here is what we discussed: Dishonored 2, Titanfall 2, Civilization 5, Civilization 6, Dead Rising 3, listener questions and more!

So here we are, it has been a long long time internet! I've been bored recently and so I decided to stock up on some video game music again which kind of lead to me thinking I should do a music episode again. So one thing lead to another and now it's out for your listening pleasure! I hope you enjoy it!
Music in this episode: Killer Instinct 2014, Dying Light, Captain America and The Avengers, Dark Souls II, Grey Goo, Captain...
It's kind of weird releasing this after all the down time, but I just felt like I should do a music episode because of my recent resurgence into listening to video game music. I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for listening!
Music in this episode: Demon's Souls, Aero Fighter II, Captain America and The Avengers, Pulstar, Sunset Riders, Infamous: Second Son, Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Both Worlds, Shovel Knight, Diablo III: Reap...
Its nice getting back to the basics and grinding out another music episode, but as usual I need to do my typical "I'm sorry" for it taking so long to do another one. As I explained on the show, I kind of forgot about this series for awhile, like I seriously forgot about it. We've had so much fun sticking to the schedule of the main show and hammering those out that it was pretty easy to forget and or not want to do one of these. Ei...
I guess its safe to say this is a return to the past, I dropped the Critical Music name a long time ago and them eventually dropped doing music episodes all together. I've been thinking of picking them up again, I even went so far as to mention it on the show and I know some people have asked when it was actually coming, so here you go! This is the return of Critical Music, I hope this time I can keep it going a lot longer than I h...
Its been a long time since I've done a music episode, I've promised one over and over and just couldn't get myself to sit down and hammer one out and when I finally did? I never released it. Yeah, this one has been sitting completed on my hard drive for the last month or so, and I just forgot all about it until a listener asked if I was going to be releasing a music show anytime soon. So here you go everyone! I hope you enjoy it.

It's been two years since I visited this style of music, but now seems like a better time than ever to revisit the chiptune community. I've learned a few new things this time around, there are a ton of new artists who are doing amazing work and chiptunes seem to be getting better and better. I'm happy I took some time off from doing this type of episode because it just feels right now, hopefully everyone enjoys all the hard work th...
About a year ago I promised to everyone that I would do another music episode based on video game bands and for some unknown reason I just never did it. I'm sure that makes me a jerk, but at least its finally done now, right? Either way, I'm happy to finally get this settled and release another music episode since a bunch of new bands have emerged and released their own interpretations with the video game music we've all grown up a...
Pretty much as the title of this episode says, this marks the end for the releases known as Critical Music. It was a fun hobby and I think this begins a time where it will hopefully be a bit bigger part of our show. So with that from now on all the music episodes will be known as Critical Strike like the main podcast!
Music in this episode: VM Japan, Mass Effect 2, X-Men Arcade, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Trauma Team, A Fistful...
Now that I've finally gotten around to doing another Critical Music episode, I wanted to start it off strong with doing a tribute to my favorite game developer of all time! Blizzard Entertainment has been very important to me throughout my gaming past and I wanted to share a reason why I love them so much with everyone else. I hope you all enjoy it but most of all thank you to everyone at Blizzard Entertainment for creating s...
It's once again time for another episode of Critical Music and this time it's being brought to you by Greg Sewart from the one and only Player One Podcast! So far every guest on Critical Music has had a interesting idea for a theme, Greg's is no different as he wanted to focus and share a bit about the Sega CD which I'm quite glad he has or else it probably wouldn't have happened as I've never really been big on the Sega CD or ...
