This game is still on sale from PSN right now, so get it while you can. All I really did for an hour was play Battle Tendency and use Baoh BECAUSE HE HAS A LASER CANNON!!!! I really only got this game BECAUSE IT CONTAINED BAOH!!! I love Baoh, as you can tell. But click this giant amount of text to see this game in action, and how I am decent at the game kinda sorta. 

Go to 42:20 to understand what you need to know about Baoh, or just watch the whole thing, cuz you should…

It’s Zeonic and his brother talking about seeing the theatrical viewing of Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods as they walk out of the theater (after the movie ended of course) while driving to a bookstore within the town. Well its really Zeonic and his bro talking about DBZ related stuff, and how loud the GPS is in the car. (Warning: This is pretty ghetto and I didn’t edit a thing).


AoY Podcast #48 – SpringCon Report Pt 1 (NashiCon 2014/Video Game Discussion)


Also known as: “She had me at Cyber City Oedo…”

Ok, so here’s the deal guys: This con was back in April of this year, so almost 4 months ago, and Zeonic is NOW getting this report out towards the end of the summer. I am sure there was ample time to for him to put something out between now and then, but he didn’t, and he really doesn’t care. Zeonic can’t blame this one on procrastination (well, maybe a little bit) because hey, if you check on what came out between now and April, we have had a full plate on talking about a variety of things that has happened. So without further ado, here is what Zeonic thought about Nashicon. (WARNING: THE AUDIO SUCKS IN THIS!)

(0:00 – 35:00) The beginnings of a Convention Report: NashiCon: Being how this is Zeonic 3rd year to attend NashiCon, it is an improvement from last years venue he must say. With a kicking game room done by the people who do the game rooms for Animazement, actual guest like Robert Axelrod and Lisle Wilkerson to attend this year and panels of interest to go too, this has gone up in quality to his con standards (I guess I can’t talk to much there.) This also gets Zeonic to talk about an “obscure” anime panel that he believed had anything to do with obscure anime, getting to know artist alley girls by their mention of Kawajiri anime to start a conversation with, talking about the game room, discussion of the LejiVerse, which diverts to…

(35:00 – 55:40) AN INCOHERENT SEGUE TO GENERAL VIDEO GAME TALK:  Yep, we spend this time talking about video games because we can. This went to talking about game systems, how Zeonic spent money on a Wii that is just and emulation device now, android games that lets you see the world, some youtube troll personality, Sonic talk, Shenmue discussion and probably some more. But when Zeonic went to mention Lisle Wilkerson…

(55:40 – 1:18:37) The failed attempt to finish a Convention Report: NashiCon: Both Zeonic and Jonn were able to get it together and complete the task before them, which is just more discussion of talking about people at the con and con life I guess you can say. This did talk about people with signs at the con, what Zeonic got at the con (which was talk of Cosmo Police Justy in America. Here is a link to ebay on what people want for the Justy VIZ print these days), 90’s Nickelodeon show talk, and more stuff I cannot really remember, which there was more to mention.

If you look at the description, i’ll let you guys be the judge of what is considered “obscure.” (This video may not play in your “country” due to youtube restrictions or whatever)

Does anyone read my sign?

I surely can’t imagine this car to be a distraction on the road, or can it?

Playing Games: Keep the Playstation alive with Our STAAAAR BLAAAZERRRS


SpaceBattleshipYamato-01

 

I basically went through a stack of PSX games I got when I was in Japan for about an hour and a half today. Ill spare you the details, you wanna see me actually “do” something, skip to the 30 minute mark, because all I did was try and figure out HOW TO MOVE THE DARN YAMATO!!! After that it was trying out 2 Gundam games (one unplayable and the other unable to play) and I just gave up on the One Piece game there after. Click this giant amount of text to see the Twitch.tv video, because the video players I have posted before automatically play on the site without you doing anything to it. Next time, I might just play some of the PS2 games I got, maybe.


AoY Podcast #47 – Remembering That Macross Love (Macross: DYRL/Macross Gen. Discussion)


[SDF+Macross]+Do+You+Remember+Love-1000

Also known as:  “A Man and a Woman. What’s that? A Man and a Woman!”
and also: “Much needed Macross great anime super DVD!”

This was a review that was a long time coming, which this seems to be the most appropriate time to cover it. After making its mark in Japanese theaters on July 7th 1984, this has been a movie that fans have grown to love and appreciate over the years. From the die hard of them all to the young at heart, Macross has left an impressionable mark in animation going back to the early 1980’s. And what better way for there to be a retelling of a series than with Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? I should note, we mostly stay on topic, if that means anything to you listeners.

Review: SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love? This film is a piece that, from the hardcore to the intermediate of anime fans, need to see once in their lives. This film is so powerful, that not even companies can obtain the full rights to it on both sides of the globe, which has been in constant legal battle since it’s creation so long ago. Even so, many people who worked on this film and were involved have made a name for themselves in the anime industry since then. So, what better way for Zeonic and Jonn to give a “semi” spoiler free (you heard right!) discussion on this film as a whole, where they both talk mostly about the history of this film and those who worked on it; and how it’s been distributed across the globe. This also gives Zeonic and Jonn a chance to discuss Macross and Robotech in the states, which was able to leave such a major mark in shaping anime fandom to where it is today. This also has them talking about their experiences seeing this movie for the first time, the legal issues surrounding the movie and the television series over the years, Harmony Gold rantings, bootleg anime talk, Gamestop/EB Games talk, the current issues with Let’s Plays, and much more. Also, CLASHING OF THE ZINGEROIDS SOUNDS! at the end.

Here are some versions on Youtube (as of now) that you can see this movie:
