Playing Games: Eh, Windjammers why not…

So yea, I think I can officially say we are done with Justin.tv since all my videos going back 4 or so years ago are now long gone. I streamed like an hours worth of stuff on that site with my import copy of Macross VFX for the PSX and some Windjammers/Shock Troopers play; which has all seemed to have disappeared in time. So after a bit of fiddling with getting introduced to Twitch.tv, I now have something to show you guys, and that’s just more Windjammers game play. I should note, that I am totally neglecting my duties as the podcast editor by NOT working on getting a new episode out, unless I feel like doing that later tonight or tomorrow. I guess well see about that. But, here is some video games for the time being, enjoy.

AoY Podcast #44 – E3 2014 Talkback

Also known as: “YOUR GONNA DIE… QUICKER!”

Even though this is an “anime” podcast, we do care about what is coming out in the video game world at this years E3 event. What you should also know about this event is that Zeonic did not care one bit about this years E3, because when you are stuck at an airport in Chicago for a day coming back from an overseas trip; having an event about stuff that your gonna see in storesin a few months should be the least of one persons worries. But Josh, Jonn and our guest known as “Tee Why” are able to step in and fill in what Zeonic missed out in this years E3 because of his jetlaggin layover from Japan. If anything, Zeonic is focused on the World Cup right now, because sports and stuff.

We pretty much stay on topic as Zeonic gets the post “inside” scoop of titles that he 90 precent doesn’t give a crap about. The gang talks about mostly what happened at the Nintendo panel/announcements, who won overall at the expo, and talking about games and technology in general. We also deviate from our discussion when it comes to the dangers of social media, picking fights with feminist on Twitter (actually no, this explains everything to you guys), thanking people who donated money to our cause (looking at you Trevor MCD. My bad on not mentioning your name in this episode, but we will give a shout out to you in the next episode for sure!), never getting around to talking about Zeonic trip to Japan, and all around talking about other things semi related.

Music Selection:

OP – I’ll let E3 drop some mad beats for me…

ED – This is what I expect the new Nintendo game to totally have…

This show has:

Looks cool… maybe???

I’m seriously getting all these images from the Fast Karate forums, because I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT E3 THIS YEAR!!

Art done by Trevor MCD, because he requested it to be put on our episode, cuz we kinda owe him one…

What is this, I don’t even…

Sega’s greatest triumph on the internet…

Here’s hoping this makes up for Colonial Marines…

YO, REGGIE IS THE BEST ZAMBOT 3 FOR REAL!!!

AoY Podcast #43 – Gundam Month The Fourth: Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Ep 7: “Over the Rainbow” Review

Also known as: “That must be the worst kind of hell ever to chase after Lalah forever…”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 1:16:03)

Well, this is going to conclude our Gundam Month segment for quite a while, until there is new Gundam to come out to talk about. After over three years of podcast’s between different names and people, we are here to finally finish out our Gundam Month segments; as we dive into the newtype rainbow of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Episode 7: Over the Rainbow.

Gundam Unicorn 7 was able to answer some questions to a lot of Gundam fans as to “kinda” tell what happens after Char’s Counterattack, as we discuss the events and story behind this final OVA spanning over 4 years now. You can expect to find giant mobile armors with TONS AND TONS OF GUNS EVERYWHERE, newtype acid trips, newtype ghosts, colony lasers, and how newtypes were destined to have political positions. We were able to have Andy from the Daily Anime Podcast join us to talk about this OVA, which got us to talk about the new Godzilla movie in the beginning of this recording, angry autistic’s on tumblr, autistic’s against Funimation getting Gundam, catching Andy up on our favorite LolCow, us bro’s having bro crushes on Suichi Ikeda, (I ment to say George Washington not Thomas Jefferson for those history people out there, my bad), how smoking is an issue in Universal Century (the quote is found somewhere on this page but I’ll post the quote after this paragraph), bad writers and more general Gundam talk plus more than that.

Here is the quote Jonn used in his closing remarks: “The poison called tobacco, which was once almost extinct in the old ages, still lingered in the days of Universal Century 0096. This was the result of tobacco quality improving as a result of the space age, like the reduction of tar to reduce the negative effects on the human body and the intricate machines, and the development of chemicals that combust at low temperatures in tobacco, but most people felt that the biggest reason for the revival of tobacco was the One Year War.”

Music Selection:

OP – We go over the rainbow and beyond with this Gundam OVA

ED – You can try and connect the rainbows all day, but you still might end up with nothing

This show has:

Suichi Ikeda being Char all the damn time…

How you can totally judge an American voice actor over one out of context tweet by autistic people

Jeff sent me this on skype, along with a story if you click on the text…

AoY Podcast #42 – Gundam Month The Fourth: Gundam Mixbag Special (00/SDGF/Age/Build Fighters/etc Review)

Also known as: “God forbid if we are ever compared to Colony Drop”
and also: “Oh, because he said the word ‘Armed Intervention'”

Download Episode HERE: (Total Time – 1:21:00)

Alright, so here’s the deal guys: We decided to cut our losses and say “screw it” for this episode, as we figured it was the best plan of action to combine all of the other AU Gundam shows we care the least about and put them all in one episode since we all are gonna be busy for the next few weeks that will take us away from recording. So we decided to put the past decade’s worth of Gundam shows into one episode with Gundam 00, SD Gundam Force, Gundam Age, Gundam Build Fighters and Gunpla Builders Beginning G.

0:00 – 58:35: We decided to review in this way because most of the shows listed is stuff we have seen before, but cannot remember most of it since we do not have the luxury of time to go back and re-watch all of them. So consider what we have to say about these shows as a “condensed review,” instead of our usual fare of going into grand detail and spoiling stuff (oh wait never mind, we do that in this episode as well.) We roughly spend a few minutes on each show, but spent most of the time I think on Gundam 00 talk and Gundam Build Fighters; because Build Fighters was recent and we want everyone to see it as it’s the next God Gundam show in this current decade.

58:35 – 1:21:00: Of course, we get side tracked a bit and go into discussion’s about the people against the Viz release of Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon in general, THE GREATEST VERSION OF SAILOR MOON IN HISTORY!, AUDIO ISSUES GALORE!!, discussing some of the “comments” we have received so far on our Gundam Seed review from last week, more Gundam talk thrown in and probably other weird and stupid things as well.

Music Selection:

OP – Bandai ploy to make their market of Gunpla into a pretty sweet TV series

ED – I want VIZ to obtain the rights to this version of Sailor Moon

Bonus – THAT’S IT, WERE DONE WITH THIS GUNDAM STUFF!!!!

This show has:

The ultimate version I demand every “fan” of Sailor Moon must have in their collection

Gundam Build Fighters before Gundam Build Fighters SOOOOOOONNN!

am enjoying the new Sailor Moon fandom crazyness. Takes me back to the 90s when a Sailor Moon cult reportedly existed in Conyers GA

— dave merrill (@terebifunhouse) May 20, 2014

@colonydrop the story was some wannabe cult leader was telling girls they were actually Sailor Scouts, or something.

— dave merrill (@terebifunhouse) May 20, 2014

right before AWA 3, the convention was mentioned by a radio DJ who also mentioned the “Sailor Moon cult”. Good advertising, I guess

AoY Podcast #41 – Gundam Month The Fourth: Mobile Suit Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny Review

Also known as: “Armed Intervention Wedding”
And also: “She gets all space naked…”

Download Episode HERE! (Total Time: 1:55:55)

I know its been 3 weeks since our last episode, but that was to gear us up for the return of Gundam Month. With the ending of finals, life and other distractions hitting us (including Zeonic finding time to watch the Gundam Seed compilation films), we are here to kick off talking about Gundam shows in the past decade with our discussion of what we wanna talk about in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny.

Time Codes:
0:00 – 8:20: We waste a good portion of time discussing real issues out there like how Federal Student Loan money should be used and how our American government doesn’t know how to properly use funding as the issues that Zeonic is plagued with by signing up with ObamaCare.

8:20 – 1:55:55: Zeonic was able to do something he thought he could never accomplish, and that was to watch ALL of Gundam Seed anything. This has been a long and well forgotten road that he wishes that he could never tread on, but knew one day he would. Jonn was there to support him as they both dive into the world of new millennium Gundam alternative universe shows.

Zeonic and Jonn were able to try and make sense of a show that is the worst on the totem pole in terms of how Gundam series go, but is far from the worst anime ever made. They both talk about how they both saw Gundam Seed on Toonami a decade ago (last month to be exact) and what transpired from and after that. Along with doing that they discuss Gundam shows in general (a given of course), if both Gundam Seed series are a conspiracy by Sunrise to make other Gundam shows look really good in comparison to Seed, how Kira Yamato is anime Jesus, what is the dumbest faction to be a fan of, too many Gundams to count and much more.

1:18:00 – 1:18:49: Promo: Daily Anime Podcast – I basically “asked” Jeff if he had a promo I could put up for this podcast episode to help better promote his show that he currently runs. He was all like “uh…. I dunno man. Do I have a promo?” I then forced upon him the option to give me something soon, because in my mind, he didn’t have much of a choice in the matter. So what you hear is the product of what you can expect to hear from a man like Jeff at the Daily Anime Podcast.What he says is all truth, because it is first hand experience that they are “the realist podcast the’re is when it comes to this anime nonsense.” And if your not real like them, then your not worth their time… or mine.

Music Selection:

OP 1 – This show couldn’t invoke any emotion to me at all

ED 1 – The only ending of Seed I really only know about

OP 2 – I don’t understand how this ignited people to like this show to begin with

ED 2 – Even after all I saw, I still never got a reason why this show was liked back then…

This show has:
