They have done it monthly already if I'm correct. As part of their night at the movies show.

Really enjoy it

Well that was wonderful. I was expecting it to be all the anthemic Halo, Final Fantasy and Zelda songs but it ended up being of a more obscure variety. Looking forward to catching another.

As someone who's been actively listening to video game music since middle school, I'm so happy to see this!

Just catching up with this, 1st track taken from Virginia, such a great track in the game.
Think I will enjoy this every week, only 6 planned though I hope it can become regular.

I remember when I first discovered Winamp and internet radio (I don't want to think how many years ago), I remember finding video game music stations that just played Mega Man and Secret of Mana songs.

It's was mindblowing.
