Updates are only refreshing if you press F5.

Sometimes if you play too many games, you’ll end up burnt out like the girl in the above picture. There’s only one way to cure that: play a crappy game so you’re happy with the stuff you do have on hand. I can’t say that I’ve personally purchased or owned a game that was absolute suck. I can, however, remember how much some NES games I might have loved were actually fairly bad. Even that kind of logic fails, as I’ve found myself enjoying those games for sucking the way they do. Most of this feeling is due to nostalgia. This tends to apply to anime as well. I often opt to watch some anime I could consider bad, but end up enjoying it to a degree.

Completely ignoring what I just said, here are the contents of today’s podcast: FFXI and it’s forthcoming mini-expansions, Supreme Commander 2, Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising, Omamori Himari, Ookami Kakushi, fansub drama, Durarara!!, Sora no Woto, and Johnny Yong Bosch.

Once in a while you just have to press F5. So here’s another refreshing update from yours truly, baked in the oven. This podcast is so crisp and burnt, it might as well be carbon. And we all know humans are carbon-based life forms, so eat up, dammit.
Eat the podcast. NOW.

I want my life back Miku.

The following video is a news feature by Asahi Shimbun on their Youtube channel. It goes on about the creation, fame and global reach of Miku, which most of us understand first-hand. 13 minutes of Miku goodness. Interesting watch.

Video video please video.

When webcomic artists learn how to be awkward..

..they make some amazing strips.

It’s the most pleasantly awkward webcomic that will stroke your hair like you were a cat that has a habit of making Portal references in cat-binary-speak while you play your Xbox 360.

“It’s cooking time!”

For once, I think I’ll use an image that’s straight forward and relates to what’s in the podcast. And yes, I’ve finally got a new podcast up. Sometimes you just get random downtime you can’t get around. Besides that, we’re getting used to the format, and now focusing on few topics to improve podcast runtime and reduce the noise. But no less trainwrecks and derails.

I think it’s become obvious that we’re very excited for Bad Company 2. We’ve mentioned this game nearly every podcast (I think). But we managed to squeeze in Street Fighter IV and fighting games, the L.U.R.K Mod for STALKER, and various anime tidbits including Hanamaru Kindergarden, Sora no Woto, K-ON!! (2nd Season), Queen’s Blade, Bakemonogatari and something else within our maser sights.

The LURK Mod got a recent status update, which makes me think we’ll be seeing version 1.1 soon. I hope.

Fire the masers!
