VG Pulse 225: Silent Borderlands

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This week on VG Pulse, we start out with the side note that we really have no side notes, before diving into quite a long discussion about companies trying to copyright words, as well as Millennium’s thoughts on why Konami might be doing what they’re doing, the state of affairs of Konami and Kojima’s split, and the sad state of affairs involved in the production of Silent Hills. After the news we have Xahldera step in to review Borderlands, and finish off with a very good and thoughtful discussion surrounding the last forum topic. All this and more up next on VGP 225! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 225: Silent Borderlands”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hello everyone. Anime Pulse is back and Red is here to lead the way, this week he is joined by RyoWei247 from the community; or as she says we may call her “Rio.” After a brief introduction into the life of Rio, Red kicks things off with the news. This week have some articles like gigantic burgers, memes that resurface thanks to artists on Twitter, and an old ad for Weight Gain. Then it’s into the Discussion- oh wait, yeah, sadly that won’t be happening. The website was down, which means this weeks discussion thread will be moving into next weeks. Sorry about that folks, technical difficulties and all that. So Instead Red and Rio jump straight into reviews. Rio is up first with Death Parade, and Red finishes things off with the first season of Aldnoah.Zero. The race to be the new full-time cohost is almost up folks, so if you haven’t put your ballet in yet then get to it!

Popcorn Pulse 32: Strange Fall

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Like a slinky pitched over the side of a building, the joint discussion of the week revolves around Fallen (1998). In it, Denzel Washington plays a cop who’s yet to be too old for this shit. He ends up being haunted by a demon who can pass along to someone new with a pat on the shoulder. It ends up inside mister Rogers after he stops to comfort James Gandolfini for being in Get Shorty. This allows Rogers to terrorize a small Midwestern town until he’s hunted down by Werner Von Van Helsing.

Tim then decides to trot out a film that’s aged worse than the Mona Lisa inside of a compost pile in Louisiana, Dr Strange(1978). It features a man for whom no is merely a suggestion and mustache wax gets itemized on his taxes. He plays a psychiatrist who finds out he will now have literal magic hands which he uses to battle Morgan La Fay for custody of Merlin’s bones. Also, the sorcerer supreme has the Jedi mind trick in his bag which he uses no less than three times.

Weltall discusses Brother(2000). It’s about a man named after the honorific for big brother who doesn’t turn out to rule Eastasia. He drops out of the Yakuza and moves to L.A. to find himself. Upon arrival, they go to a wedding, get completely wasted and wake with no memory of the previous night. This culminates with a wild seventeen minute car chase on the highway which ends with Keanu Reeves punching a speeding bus at him.

Manga Pulse 327: Other Pain

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Late starts aren’t new to anyone in the world, we assume. This is especially true for everyone in the Delayed Puberty Awareness support chain on Tumblr. We began a bit late as recordings were in progress and Weltall’s managa was loading slower than a geriatric lumper.

Tim began with a review of Othello in which an animated doormat wakes up and goes to school. She hangs out with a group of girls who hate her because doormat’s parents gave her the Japanese version of the devil’s dictionary. Luckily doormat’s split personality awakens and begins to get vengeance on her friends.

Weltall then discusses Kangoku Gakuen. It’s about an all girls school that’s forced to allow boys in but only five. They all adjust to school life normally and one of them graduates which honors which he shares with a female friend he never harbored a secret desire for…is what you’d expect if you’ve never seen a manga before. Instead, there are lots of the usual staples. Titties! Fear boners! Shennaigans! Also, random titillation because they forgot porn is easier to find.

Weltall: Kangoku Gakuen – Even if you receive it as a present, burn the book and piss on the ashes.
Tim the Enchanter: Othello – Even if you receive it as a present, burn the book and piss on the ashes.

No music cause it was on the franken PC and I barley got it out as is…

Script 2 Script 4: 1984

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

In this episode we tackle a request by a fellow comrade, 1984. It is a glorious tale of Big Brother’s march forward towards victory. We will discuss the tragedy of Winston and Julia, two ember of the inner party who became corrupted by Goldstein’s philosophy and turned traitor.

How could a man, given glorious work within the Party, turn against it? It begins with his corruption of truth when he believes he is short of razor blades. He becomes convinced that there is a shortage because he has so few when the records clearly state that there was a surplus that year. The only answer then is that Winston is a wasteful man who tosses his luxuries away without thought. Continue reading “Script 2 Script 4: 1984”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Tis a sad day for the Anime Pulse podcast, as news reaches us that not only is Ichigo being further sucked into the family man lifestyle but TC illness might very well force him out of the show. More on that as the week progresses, hopefully. Until then, Red is back with Ichigo to bring you some previews of the new anime season. First up is news however, with articles like 151 pokemon pancakes, Idols giving up their untouchable status to become mothers, and the villains in anime that would make the best friends. Then it’s onto the discussion thread, which has been sitting on the burner for two weeks so it’s a long one! If you could remove one animefrom your brain, which one would you remove? And finally a new season entails previews, as Ichigo and Red introduce a host of new shows they started watching. Continue reading “Episode 445: Spring Previews #1”
