 Alain’s picks:

• Should Journalism Be Objective?
  This is shocking but this video is not about Gamegate.
• How Small Should Small Be?
  A look at minimum viable product in regards to video game design.
• An End to War
  The end of the Waring States Period and how Tokugawa Ieyasu’s family came to rule all of Japan.
• Based on Shakespeare’s Play And Not the Atari Video Game
  All Geeks Considered look at the high influential classic, Forbidden Planet. (Also that is the movie and not the comic book store.)
• Layers upon Layers of Madness
  The Book of Bantorra sounds like an anime you have to see to fully not understand.

When you say Otomo, you think Akira.

 Alain’s picks:

• Being Exempt from Fighting in Korea in Hardly a Cinematic Musou Attack 
  Oda Nobunaga’s death sparks a struggle to claim the throne of a unified Japan.
• Making Your First Game Part Two
  The companion video to the first video looks more at the nuts and bolts of making your first game.
• I AM THE LAW!
  Idea Channel looks at the objectivity of Law through the lens of NPR’s Serial podcast.
• All Geeks Considered 3: Rise of the Machines 
  All Geeks Considered looks at 1973’s Westworld. Don’t worry! The movie is getting a TV series remake on HBO.
• Those Fujoshi Files Don’t Pay For Themselves
  Long time friend of the blog Carl Li has started a Patreon. If you like thoughtful anime and manga discussion (or puns) then you might want to kick some money his way.

• The Disney Store For Me
  This store is supposed to be aimed directly at adult women. I am one of those.
• Eat an Asymptomatic Brain
  PSYCHO-PASS cafe’s desserts sound gross but are apparently delicious!

 

You can’t talk about Ogiue Maniax without having a Genshiken picture:

 Kate’s picks:

• I Don’t Even Care About Pokemon And I’d Still Go to This Cafe
• Ghosts, Avengers, and Lessons in Comic Lettering
  Interview with comic writer Frank Barbiere. I love the pulpy story Five Ghosts which I’ve mention on the blog.

 Alain’s picks:

• I Prefer NOT to Think How Old the PS3 Is
  The OSMCast finishes up its retrospective on Sony Video game consoles with a look at the PS3, PS4, PSP, and PS Vita. Sadly there was not enough Fate/Extra talk and no mention of Fate/Extra CCC. Clearly they were just so rushed for time they could only touch upon even the most important topics lightly.
• Black Sabbath did not do the Opening to M3: The Dark Metal
  Carl and Andrew look at M3: The Dark Metal. Their review of the series remind me of my reaction to Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea. I liked that series in the end but it is almost impossible to recommend due to all of its major flaws and extremely slow build up. WARNING: The spoil the heck out of the show to explain why they like it in the end.
• Of Course Iain Softley’s Hackers Came Up
  Idea Channel talks about the strange change on foreign policy that comes with North Korea and The Interview. I’m just guessing here but I doubt Sausage Party will make the same impact in 2016.
• Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Game Designer
  Extra Credits looks at making your first video game. This is more a general philosophy lesson than a down and dirty step by step schematic of what to do.
