| World 1-2 Available Now! |
| update from May 1st, 2013 |
Check this out!
We were asked to contribute to a very unique project back in November, an offer we just couldn't resist when we saw the line-up that was already signed on. World 1-2 is a video game music arrangement album featuring not only some of the coolest video game arrangements bands and artists out there, but also video game composers such as our friend Akira Yamaoka, Austin Wintory and Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae!
We arranged music from the game Captain Tsubasa 2 on the Famicom. Maybe for the US fans this title isn't very well known, but Captain Tsubasa was one of the most famous sport animations in Japan and also in the Middle East, and the games got great music so have a listen!
World 1-2 is available at Gamechops.com

| Live at Symphony Hall update! |
| update from April 15th, 2013 |
|
What's up, everyone?
It's April, and we are in the final stages in the production of our Live at Symphony Hall album. It's been a long journey for us from the Kickstarter campaign to the concert event and production time, but we are really proud and excited of all the hardship and effort that went into this project! We have also arranged for some bonus tracks for our special pledgers and are currently finalizing all the materials so that we can start to ship out everything to everyone. It's a big job and requires time and patience, but we've gotten nothing but incredible support.
In the upcoming days, we'll be releasing a roundtable audio discussion where we go back and discuss and talk about the entire experience from start to finish, so please look forward to that! Very soon folks, the album will be here!

| Thank you all so much! |
| update from october 9, 2012 |
Words truly cannot express what we feel in our hearts right now.
To everyone who attended our show, we are so honored and glad you came and made our night one of the greatest events of our lives! We were so happy with the concert, and the composers loved every moment they spent with you guys. Boston Symphony Hall truly came alive with all of your help and energy!
Countless emails, private messages and tweets with so much affection and friendship, a successful concert in Boston Symphony Hall and a Kickstarter going beyond our intended goal has allowed us to do even more than we thought possible. Everyone in the VGO want to say thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is for all of you that we continue to work hard and deliver the most energetic, diverse and fun arrangements of video game music.
You made it all possible, and we will never forget that.
Now, the work begins on the album, and we will continue to bring all of you updates on our website, Facebook, Twitter and through Kickstarter updates which all backers will recieve through emails. We have a lot in store for you guys, so keep checking back to keep up to date!
