Manga Pulse 312: Hive Mind

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Comic Con news and discussions dominate a large amount the podcast. Most of it focused on Denver Comic Con where we solicit aid from the audience to guide us during our time there. So in case you’re reading this and have something you want us to do, say a specific interview you’d like us to try and get, feel free to email into us.

Meanwhile Tim reviews a mouthful of Japanese he(probably) butchers. Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka. Yes, that was all one title and it doesn’t make up for its absolutely mediocre story. Power levels, generic monsters, various mythological figures and a harem that goes no where serve as a sleep aid.

Meanwhile Weltall tackles a Manwha, Hive. While it has a relatively small amount of chapters available, it manages to make quite an impression. As Weltall summed it up best, “it’s like a zombie apocalypse without the zomebies”. Instead there are giant wasps everywhere which is the stuff of nightmares for all the spheksophobics out there.

Popcorn Pulse 15: Sherriff Glory

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Let us pitch you a movie. A small town with a corrupt sheriff who owns everything. A man and his family transported there begin to clash with the local law enforcement. When he’s finally pushed to the edge, the main character lashes out with the only weapon he has, a goddamned tank.

If that sounds like a movie you’d want to watch, let Tim and Weltall explain why you don’t. Like how James Garner’s character keeps mentioning a dead son that adds nothings to the story. Or C Thomas Howell whining to look what they did to him before he grew a pain, joined the Wolverines and fought off the Soviets. Even better are the parts of the movie that become a documentary on a day in the life of a commanding officer. Continue reading “Popcorn Pulse 15: Sherriff Glory”

This week on VG Pulse, we start out sleepy but finish off strong, as we discuss the latest happenings within the video game industry! We start off the news with talks of leaks, leaks, and more leaks as companies seem to be leaking quite a lot before E3 2014, and Millennium shares his fascinating theory about how these leaks may possibly come to happen. After the news, we dive into the forums, and finish off with my review of the popular 3DS game Bravely Default! All this and more up next on VGP187! -Aki Continue reading “VG Pulse 187: Default Weaksauce”

Manga Pulse 311: 12 Dragons

Another recommendation for Tim this episode as he tackles 12 Beast. Unlike when he fell through that portal to an alternate, ancient Greece where legends lived, he isn’t tackling an actual dozen beasts. Instead he reviews a harem Manga that attempts to fulfill a number of beast girl fetishes. Does he hate it or merely loathe it? You may be surprised when you listen.

Weltall reviews The Dragon Next Door and complains about the music he plays late at night. And then he talks about the Manwha of the same title. Wacky adventures with a next door neighbor who happens to be a mystical creature? Surely, this will be new and original. If nothing else it manages to escape the sitcom laugh track which is comedy poison.

After reading a lone email-thank you solitary listener!-we dredge up an old tradition of mocking Craigslist ads. Under guidance from our live listeners, who always enjoy input on our recordings, we read through some hapless crazies looking for love. Be terrified by the lonely folks in Inland Empire, California and Houston, Texas. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 311: 12 Dragons”
