Happy Post-Halloween and it’s somehow already November but that’s okay, that’s alright, we’re still here, the world is still burning, but we’re still churning (see what I did there) out the jams. We’re leaning heavy on the PS4 this week but that’s okay but we’re dealing straight jams (and sometimes gentle jammers).

Hammock’s back from Peru, a changed Hammock. A better Hammock, renewed, reborn, reinvigorated…and now trying to re-integrate back into the real world while keeping the Last Wave afloat. It’s possible…but that means less of an internet presence and more of a real life presence. But the jams will continue for now, and this week’s episode is jam packed, with plenty to satisfy all the papacitos and mamacitas in the house.

Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.
Lots of unknowns this week, which happens when you’re dealing with budget PS2 titles but regardless, plenty of jams for all the jammers in the house, including a ZUNTATA mood, a Manami Matsumae beachside bopper, something feel good from a very adult JRPG, a le bop from Le Bop, and of course, something dirty and jammy from the Personal Computer-98. And if you’re a member of the Patreon, I have been slowly assembling mixtapes of all the After Dark episodes for your talk-free enjoyment.

Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch...the Last Wave. The energy levels are turnt up for this episode...just a bit, you know, we don't want to overwhelm you with the jammage. But we've got Timothy Steve Clarke hot shottin' in the pool hall, Takayuki Ishikawa breakin' it down, Rafael Langoni Smith funkin' it up, Motoi Sakuraba doin' what he does best on the PC-Engine. Plus some other maxed out and relaxed tracks to help balance it out. Gotta keep the balance.

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It's the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch...the Last Wave. More jams for cool kids in the house looking to jam out with the cool kids in their life. Even if you're not cool, that's okay, these jams don't discriminate. They gesticulate. We've got scared drunk mechs, pensive detectives, messenger girl jams, CHARMSTONES!, apartment ooh la las, magic cards (not Magic cards), soccer, even a little GoldenEye action for children of the 90s. All that and much much more.

We're well past our half-year anniversary and boss rushin' straight for the big ONE. We're clearing scenarios, riding camels, strollin' right on down to the harbor lounge, where all our futbol dreams will likely die in a pint of ale. But let's hope not - let's hope for the best - that maybe one day, all of our futbol dreams will come true. Every single one of them. Or just the one, whichever. Stay positive, stay cool.

Battling a cold is never fun and sometimes the cold gets the better of you but you let it have its moment and then you move on (see episode). But when you've got the better of the cold, it's all right! Life's a beach, the afternoons are shinier, the mahjong is mahjongin' and you maybe you take a step back and say, "Gun-DAMN, it's good to be alive!".

Also, let's be honest, the Western school system is a complete mess and you can't expect kids to sit still for eight hours listening to outdated history lessons...at least, there are PLENTY of school-based simulation games to choose from to enhance whatever real-world school experience you had/have.

Hammock's back from his journeys afar and settling back into the smooth vibrations of the beach outside the KVGM studios.

But it's Saturday? That's right, this is a special 'early edition' of the Last Wave as Hammock embarks on a little Hammock time. I'm currently inside an airport in New York City, which is nowhere near Aqua City, and I'm going even further from breezy Pacific Ocean. I'll be back in two weeks for more jamzzzzzzz but in the meantime, we've got something special lined up for you, the listener, as part of KVGM's new summer internship program. For now, enjoy the jams and I'll catch you back on the beach in two weeks!

It's another jam-packed show (emphasis on the JAM) on this Easter Sunday. It's like an easter egg hunt...but we've already done the hunting and the plastic eggs are full of the smoothest VGM soundwaves. But we cheat a little bit this week...just enough to squeeze in a very slick track from the AdLib Music Synthesizer...but we make up for it with more mahjong, golf, fishing, and horse racing tracks.

Lots of PlayStation 2 jams this week but also familiar jaunts to the Super Famicom and PC-98. If the audio is a bit subdued, it's because my wife was sleeping...next to the studio, of course. There is no actual sleeping space in the KVGM studio. Well, okay, technically, the floor is a potential sleeping space but there is no bed in the KVGM studio. There's only...a hammock. Wink wink.

Need a soundtrack for that Sunday morning stroll around your local IKEA? The Last Wave is here...for you. This week, we discover Pebble Beach on the 3DO, Yellow Magic Orchestra-influenced tracks, and the power of the Dragon Shadow Spell. What does it do? More importantly, what doesn't it do? Also, there's a loose theme of "customization" that threads everything together, be it robots, cars, clothes, etc.

This week, we check in on the rising stock prices for detective, fishing, and golf game genres, as well as show appreciation for the "slow burn" when it comes to delivering a video game jam. If we've learned one thing on this journey so far, it's that you can't really mess up a beach level theme...or can you, if you've never been to a beach??? And what is the deal with the birds at Blooper Bay? Find out...on the Last Wave.
