Episode 163: As Constant As Pie (National Pi Day)

Today, we’re celebrating National Pi Day, that constant value of 3.14159265 and so forth. It is the result of the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Though it’s often used to calcuate a circle’s area or a sphere’s volume, pi is also used in geometry and physics. The Exploratorium Museum of Science, Art, and Human Perception, located in San Francisco, first celebrated National Pi Day back in 1988; it was later formally recognized by Congress in 2009. While some try to memorize the most digits of pi, others celebrate with a piece of baked pie. This week, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have pie: a world of humans and orcs, a wasteland in America, and a lone warrior exploring an expansive kingdom. Of course, we also have covers and remixes to follow. Grab a slice of your favorite flavor of pie and listen to this buffet of video game music.   National Pi Day “Pi | Don McMillan Comedy” “10 Yummy Pies Inspired by Video Games” Pi Day | The Exploratorium     Track Listing Audio clip from Don McMillan “Legends of Azeroth” – [World of Warcraft] – composed by Jason Hayes “World of Warcraft LEGENDS OF AZEROTH (Login Music) – Metal Cover” – covered by ToxicxEternity, from “VG Metal Covers, Vol 7” “Main Theme” – [Fallout 4] – composed by Inon Zur “Fallout 4 – Main Theme (EPIC metal cover)” – covered by Rocky_311 “Main Theme” – [The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild] – composed by Manaka Kataoka “The Legend of Zelda – Breath of the Wild (Remix)” – remixed by GlitchxCity   YouTube playlist Discord channel     Source
