Episode 443: Hayate no Yatterman

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

He’s back ladies and gentlemen! TC hath return! Kind of… Waifu Reina takes the hot seat while TC plays backseat driver, she’s only been on a couple times before but she’s already a pro! After some talk about TC’s life and various topics, the crew jumps into news about what kind of gal twitter users in Japan prefer, horrible otaku fashion from the swedish, and active WWIIUSbombs still being found in Japan. After news a very small discussion thread is quickly run through, with either the fact it was such a niche question or the forums kept crashing the entire week; who is the best cosplayer you’ve ever seen? And finally it’s onto the reviews. Reina kicks things off with yoru no yatterman, and Red rounds out the show with the final season of Hayate no Gotoku.

VG Pulse 220: Evil Madness

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This week on VG Pulse, Kas is unable to stop by due to heath concerns (again), though Millennium and I do our best to pick up the slack! We start out with side notes of guitars and tv shows, before going over an important announcement from former boss man Ichigo! We then dive into the regular news, in which we discuss Steam redesigning their controller again, the talks of a Gran Turismo movie that’s really actually not as bad of an idea as it sounds, and the impressive story of how Sony totally screwed up and made a lot of people really angry. After the news we head on off into Millennium’s review of The Evil Within, and finish off with final thoughts of how much we’re both looking forward to April! All this and more up next on VGP 220! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 220: Evil Madness”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Another week and another episode of Anime Pulse. Once again TC is out of commission, and will be taking what he calls an “extended leave of absence” until he feels (or more importantly, his wife feels) like he can return. For now, we have another guest from the community joining Red; Digitani. After a brief introduction, Red and Digi get into news about Tower Burgers, panty stealing ex-baseball players, and lonely middle school teachers who accidentally expose their porn stash to their students. Then it’s into the discussion thread, this week’s question was all about the gags. What anime has your favorite running gag? And then it’s onto reviews! Digi steps in first with a lengthy review of the new Ghost in the Shell series Arise, then Red wraps things up with a disappointed look at the second season ofJojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

Popcorn Pulse 31: Wormtongue

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Cyberpunk doesn’t crop up in films these days. During the nineties though, they were as numerous as the Buffalo on the US. Death Machine (1994) is one of these corpses, stuffed and mounted for generations to gawk and poke at.

It stars Wormtongue, an actress from Lawnmower Man 2: Death of the Franchise, two guys with bit parts from the Fifth Element, the brother who dies first in Die Hard and Commander Porkins. Wormtongue unleashes the titular Death Machine when he gets fired by the CEO while demanding his job back. The only solution they come up with is to stuff a random terrorist into a cyborg suit and make him fight the killer alien robot. Continue reading “Popcorn Pulse 31: Wormtongue”

Episode 441: .hack//Stage!!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

No Ichigo? No TC? What’s a poor RedUnit to do!? (Mess up the episode number, that’s what!) Well if your as witty, intelligent, and handsome as him you’ll have no trouble finding a guest host to be your wing man. That’s right, this episode we have the angriest of thinkers, TheMadPhilosopher, as our first ever official guest host. After a brief introduction to our guest, it’s onto the show! First up is news, with articles like Sugar Diamonds for your lucky lady, festivals in Japan still going despite the risk of a third eye, and Hawaiian Pancakes at Japanese McDonalds are doing rather well. Then it’s into the discussion thread for this week, as the question of what giant mech/robot/suit would you like to pilot? And finally the reviews. MadPhilosopher starts us out with a review of .hack//Sign, where 2002 thought 1990 thought 2005 would be like. Time humor! And Red wraps things up by describing his first venture into the world of Yaoi with Love Stage; he will never be the same man again.
