AGP#027 – Sucks? Or Is Spectacular?

Hosts: Evan “Vampt Vo” Minto, Mitchell “MitchyD”
Dyer, “Knuckles Dawson”
Topic: What’cha Been Doing?


This just might be the silliest, most off-topic episode of the
Ani-Gamers Podcast, as Mitchy and I discuss anime and video games
(mostly the latter) with gaming journalist Knuckles Dawson. Just
when you thought our discussion of the dubs for Dragonball
Z and presence of robot dragons in Escaflowne
couldn’t get any more sidetracked, we include gems like an
in-depth analysis of our favorite flavors of egg nog. So listen
away … at your own risk.


It’s also worth noting that, this time, I attempted to bleep out
Mitchy’s uses of the F-bomb, though I just gave up when it came
to censoring “shit.” Hopefully this will keep Apple secret agents
from busting down my doors and arresting me for not putting an
Explicit tag on our podcast.


(P.S. The picture on the right is a Photoshop of Mitchy, made by
some jerks on a forum who think that he is the worst video game
journalist on the face of the planet. The maturity of their
critique is easily apparent.)

[00:00] Intro: Why can’t we just do a clap like normal
people?[00:26] Opening Song: “Opening Theme” by Tsuneo Imahori
(Trigun OP)

[00:44] Barad-dur in “eye-definition.” We personally apologize
for this terrible pun. Also it was Knuckles’ fault.


[02:04] Evan talks about Tezuka month, forgetting to mention
that he’s speaking from the perspective of a week and a half
ago. Whoops.


[03:00] Knuckles discusses his limited experience with anime,
which includes Noboru Ishiguro’s 1980 Astro Boy
remake (the color one), some Dragonball manga, the
Dragonball Z anime, Escaflowne, and
Appleseed.


[09:47] Evan is watching Zeta Gundam. Knuckles
cites some limited Gundam experience, which
probably means he’s talking about Wing.


[12:45] Evan is watching Code Geass, but Knuckles
and Mitchy are too busy chatting on Skype text chat to pay any
attention to him. At around 14:00, Knuckles brings up “Over
9000” and the Dragon Box release from FUNimation.


[20:43] Evan is watching Nogizaka Haruka no
Himitsu, which he hates very much.


[21:34] Mitchy is playing Battlefield: Bad Company
2.


[35:42] Knuckles is going back to get the multiplayer
achievemnts for Lord of the Rings: Conquest.


[36:28] Knuckles is also playing the Bioshock 2
multiplayer. Most important fact: “Capture the Sister” mode.


[41:48] Knuckles is going back to play Beautiful
Katamari. Meanwhile, Evan has Super Star
Wars and Super Empire Strikes Back on SNES
lying around, and he’s hoping to get down to playing them soon.


[43:57] Knuckles is playing Borderlands.


[46:22] In trying to talk about Heavy Rain, Mitchy ends up
describing the “ApocalyPS3” that screwed up a bunch of people’s
PS3 data on March 1.


[49:17] Heavy Rain is kind of like Egg Nog. We talk about this
for two minutes or so. Professionalism!


[50:53] Finally, Evan finished Mass Effect and is
looking forward to playing Mass Effect 2. (He
ended up buying it not long after this episode
