Final Games is a podcast about the games that inspired us. Host, Liam Edwards is joined by various different game developers, game journalists and industry veterans to talk about the games that they'd choose to play for the rest of their lives.

Liam's guests are stranded in a hypothetical deserted place and can only choose eight games to play for the rest of their lives, what do they choose and why? Why are these games so important to our guests? What about these games inspired them to work in the industry or help them on the path to where they are today!

I mostly make prog rock/metal music. Some other stuff mixed in, too.

Determined not to fail at launching a show about things that failed to launch, Woolie decided to hit the ground running before he could stop himself. It was supposed to be about video games, anime, creativity, hype and success, but it's just shame and trash now. Shame and trash.

I started piano lessons at age 7. My early attempts at writing short pieces were a distraction to learning classic piano literature. I was introduced to multi-track recording by age 12 and purchased my first electric keyboard by age 13 (RMI electric piano - just like the one that Rick Wakeman played on "Fragile" and "Close to the Edge"). I bought an A.R.P. axxe synthesizer by age 15 and realized that my already questionable pursuit as a classical piano student was completely doomed. I was heavily influenced by British prog rockers such as ELP, Yes, Genesis, and other groups like them. Their ability to weave so many different musical elements together was an inspiration for me to explore other genres of music. The jazz fusion movement that was rooted in the early 1960s confirmed that breaking boundaries could create a whole new spectrum of musical colors and rhythms. I have continued to write and record music that expresses an idea, an unusual sensation or mood. 

Everything is played by me on a keyboard and recorded into M.O.T.U. Digital Performer 8. Most of the virtual sounds I use come from MOTU "Mach Five" 3.0 and  Spectrasonics "Omnisphere". These two programs provide incredible depth for sound design. They also offer amazing options for live performance which allows me to produce a much larger sound in my live rig. Although I do enjoy designing guitar sounds, amp settings, distortion and using the pitch wheel for note bending it would be awesome to have a "real" guitar player replace all of the guitar parts that I play on the keyboard. It would also be a luxury to have a real drummer and a real bass player perform the parts that I write for those instruments but time and schedule just don’t allow for that right now. As it is, the drum parts are all played by my callused finger tips pounding notes on the keyboard in real time with some quantization once in a while. I never use drum loops for anything other than backgrounds in the mix because they’re too restrictive. I actually enjoy building my drum tracks from the ground up with individual tracks for high hat or ride, kick & snare, toms, percussion, misc. fills and of course several tracks for cymbals. My bass parts are always played in real time using bass sounds from a variety of modules and virtual instruments.
