Last week, I went to a meet-up being organized by one of my high school classmates, Eduardo. He wanted to have a gathering with family and friends before he started treatment for his cancer. It was a lively time at the pizza place, as people talked to each other and took selfies with their mobile devices. Overall, he was happy to see everyone who could attend, taking control of his life and dealing with cancer on his terms.
For this week’s episode, I’ve decided to do a sort of dedication to him by playing tracks from his favorite video games: an uneasy peace between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, the aftermath of the Death Star’s second destruction, and a Dark Knight seeking to save Gotham from Scarecrow. We’ve also got covers, remixes, and mashups to follow each track.
Enjoy these tracks as I explain their significance to Eddie. Oh, and Eddie, I’ll see you next time…
