Welcome to Episode 15 of Load Save Game, a podcast where I talk to people about their personal journey with video games. I am your host Jose Eusebio.
My guest today is Dr. Jason Lo. I’ve known Jason going back to our college days. Jason is one of the most talented and hardworking people I know. Jason is an amazing pianist and has played piano at Carnegie Hall, at the 2012 London Olympics, and as I record this he is traveling through Europe with scheduled performances in Germany and the Czech Republic. Jason has a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Piano Performance from the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. While most of Jason’s concerts are comprised of classical music he is also a lover of video games and video game music. I’ve seen him perform amazing arrangements of Final Fantasy music, Sonic the Hedgehog, among many others.

You can visit Jason’s website at jasonwlo.com where you’ll find links to his piano performances and contact information if you’d like to book him to play for an event. Jason also teaches piano, so if you have need for a piano teacher in the Southern California area he’s as good as they come.
We talk about a ton of video game moments during the episode from wrestling the “Russian Bear” Zangief in Street Fighter II, playing Sonic 3 at the K-mart kiosk, and helping the Jester save Nightopia in Nights into Dreams. We also touch on Marvel vs. Capcom a bit during this episode and a very exciting thing just happened, Capcom announced that they are releasing a Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Game Collection for the Switch/PS5/PC. It will be the first time that Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be purchasable since it was removed from the PSN and Xbox Live stores in 2013. So a lot of the people who loved the MvC games and that series are super stoked, I’m definitely going to check that out.
