Great episode as usual! Unfortunately the timestamps are incorrect, they seem to have been made for the ad version and not updated for the patreon version. They are correct until where the Acorns ad would have been, except the patreon feed doesn't have ads. So it throws the timestamps off the rest of the episode.

One of the original borderlands trailers used "ain't no rest for the wicked" by cage the elephant before it became a huge radio hit. Maybe it helped with discovery? Maybe it was already on people's radar and was going to be a radio hit already? I don't know but it's the only time I can think of hearing a song I associated with a video game then it being on the radio some time later. It's also not technically a "video game song" but I can't think of an original work for a video game ever being on the radio that wasn't a segment explicitly about video games Although real emotion from FFX-2 is a bop and deserved to be on the radio
