This show is brought to you by the formerly coke fueled man suffering from a transcription addiction, Stephen King. We decided to do something that wasn’t a terrible movie adaptation. Instead, we choose Desperation. While it is a movie, it was done as a TV movie which has entirely different standards than a theater release. For example, no one expects anyone to watch TV movies unless they’re drunk or trapped in hospice. Continue reading “Script 2 Script 9: Desperate”

Welcome dear listeners to another episode of Anime Pulse, this week Red and Ryo return to the standard format and bring us back into the reviews. IRL news sort of devolves into video game talk, with topics like Ryo’s fear of large bugs and the thunderstorm at Red’s place. Then it’s on to industry news, where we have a story on otaku scientists naming galaxies and vocaloids finally making it into school textbooks. And last but not least the reviews, as Ryo roasts I My Mi and Red intrigues Ryo with Chivalry of a Failed Knight.

This week on VG Pulse, Millennium and I are unsupervised as the threat of bees loom over us all. We start out with side notes of recent battles against the buzzing menace, before diving into what little news we could find, including a possible delay of No Man’s Sky and the fact that robots are slowly taking over the workforce! After the news Millennium gives a final review of The Division, I give a review of Tormentum: Dark Sorrow, and we finish up with talk of food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 255! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 255: Division Sorrow”Podcast: Play in new window | Download
This week we start the show on a rather dark note, Ryo is back to join Red but the reasons behind her absence are finally explained in detail. However the dark theme doesn’t end there, as the industry news and the previews are all on the dark side of things. But fear not loyal listeners, there is a light at the end of that tunnel and that light is called Otakon!

This week on VG Pulse, we have a sleep-deprived but supervised episode! We start off with side notes of my college graduation and Millennium’s epic Bloodborne-style battle with a mutant spider, before heading off to the news, in which we discuss Nintendo copyrighting Minecraft videos, the new Pokemon details for the Gen 7 games, and the sad and illogical closing of two more studios. After the news we finish off with Millennium’s first look at The Division, and lots of talk about food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 254! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 254: Zoning & Giggling”Podcast: Play in new window | Download
This week on VG Pulse, we go back to normal-length shows! We start off with side notes of Millennium screwing up and me finishing college, before diving into the news, where we discuss current NX rumors, the latest news about Persona 5, and a horrifically terrible story about a twitch streamer. We then head off into the first look, where Millennium talks about American Truck Simulator, and we finish off with talk of food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 253! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 253: Millennium Trucking”Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Welcome to the second previews show of the 2016 anime season, and a show completely devoid of Ryo. That’s right, the intrepid and often sickly Ryo has taken a bit of a sabbatical to recover. Meanwhile, Red has gotten a guest host from the past to return; Spirewrecker from the 4Player Anime Cast! After a brief reintroduction, Red and Spire kicks things off with IRL news which quickly segues into Industry News which is bursting with content this week! Hentai Manga Authors getting licensed, Anime Authors evading taxes, and the controversy that is the live-action GitS. Afterwards both hosts dig into three more anime from the spring catalogue: Hundred, Kiznaiver, and Big Order. Don’t miss out on this one folks!

This week on VG Pulse, we have an extremely long and supervised show! We don’t really have many side notes, and so we pretty much dive right into the news, where we get into lengthy discussions about the Nintendo NX, the PlayStation 4K, future news about Persona 5, and more things being stolen in transit in the UK! After the news we head off into the extremely overdue and lengthy review of Stardew Valley, and we finish off with talk of anime and Slither.io! All this and more up next on VGP 252! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 252: Fanfic Valley”Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Welcome to another episode of Anime Pulse, this week brought to you by the empty amphitheater that Ryo apparently decided to record from. Technical difficulties aside, this is the first previews show of the Spring 2016 season. We’ve got IRL updates from both of the hosts, industry news about cats and ideal body types, and then the previews of which there are four in total. We’ll be doing two of these shows this season, and then possibly taking a week off while Ryo recovers from near death via finals.
