It’s per tradition that we release convention reports half a year after the con happened, because oh freaking well. So if your wanting someone to drone on about their time at a con that you weren’t at during a long holiday flight or drive, we got your covered!
(0:00 – 1:34:15) Animazement 2018 Con Report – Dustin regales his tale of a con that happened when the weather was a whole lot warmer, where the first time in years he is a regular con lackey roaming the hallways and not dealing with patrons in the dealers room. Stories can be told about hanging out with other Otaku he’s know about online and their posse, Dustin old parking job and the economics surrounding that industry, modifying your SNES, getting sweet swag from Limited Run Games on a yearly visit, trying to talk to women at the bar with a Salvador Dali art work on their back, the dreaded bootleg dealer came back, rednecks whining about stuff they don’t have in public restaurants, drunken dads that roam the cons and more. This also includes how we thought the Starbucks training lead to other problems, seeing a Steely Dan/Doobie Bros concert in Atlanta, video game and anime talk, and much more.
(1:34:15 – 02:25:29) Closing Remarks Part 1 – This is just the opinions of ours relating back in May, that people have already forgotten about but ohwellwhocaresanyways. This includes televangelists who buy jets in the name of Jesus and Christianity talk, hot takes on the news, how Rosanne got cancelled and much more.
(02:25:29 – 04:03:30) Anime Weekend Atlanta 2018 Con Report – If anything was lacking from Animazement, AWA made that up tenfold. Dustin recants his experience by hanging out with his buddy downtown to ride on electric scooters after eating some Pho’King amazing food, getting the correct panelist badge, meeting with old friends, meeting cool people like Tim Eldred, Micheal Sinterniklaas, Darius Washington and Andy Field, talking about panels done at the convention (which were titled Anime in High Gear, Christianity in Anime and Mobile Suit Gundam in America), buying Neil Nadelman old Gundam laserdiscs, getting the sweet hookup on Voltes V from Dave Merrill, getting to meet the Corn Pone man himself in person, people who have seizures at the con and how the staff handles that proper, Is Daryl Surat a Pokemon Seizure Episode Denier that it was ALL A CONSPIRACY? and more.
(04:03:30 – 04:29:48) Closing Remarks Part 2 – Somehow we get into closing remarks territory with the past pre-hearing of the Kavanaugh case, banned episodes of Pokemon, general anime and politics talk, people who had complaints on panels at AWA from an alt-right perspective and more.

Another year of E3 means another year of hype, rants, and the strange tangents from the hosts. So get plugged in, get angry, get excited and get lost in the world of the 2018 E3 episode!
(0:00 – 46:25) E3 2018 – Overall the hosts thought this show was rather meh when you balance out the good, the bad and the mediocrity of E3. This goes into Dustin and Jonn summing up the conferences from EA, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and others that caught their interest. Both hosts go into their thoughts on games that will be coming out that were either announced or showed more gamplay too them at the expo. Included in this segment is making fun of the Xbox system names, how Cyberpunk 2077 is the best announcement, game footage censorship on Disney XD, hipsters and them making theoretical avacado toast food trucks and much more.
(46:25 – 1:02:05) Video Game Closing Remarks – Here Dustin and Jonn talk about what they’ve been playing recently, with Dustin trying out Night Trap and beating it for the first time ever on the PS4, who played the mom on Secret World of Alex Mack, a real movie called Night Trap with Robert Davi and Micheal Ironside, thoughts on the Goldeneye PS3 game, Jonn playing games on the Switch like Zelda and Sonic Forces, Hokuto no Gotoku getting an American release and more.
(1:02:05 – 1:56:00) Closing Remarks – This should come to no surprise that both hosts spend about equal if not greater time on this segment, with discussions on how Trump saved the world with North Korea, the South Carolina Primary Election coverage, American politics rant, Archer latest season sucking, and much more!!

OP – Game of the Year (whenever it comes out!)
