 Alain’s picks:

• Full Metal The Jacket
  All Geeks Considered looks at The Jacket. This is a mostly overlooked a 2005 psychological thriller with a time traveling twist.
• The Curse of the Crushers is Finally Broken
  It took a while but GME! Anime Fun Time finally has a chance to talk about Crusher Joe.
• Perpetuum Motion Machine
  A look at the game Perpetuum that is basically Eve Online with mecha. Oh and it is in early access so it is crazy raw.
• Kraft Lawrence, Holo, and Video Games
  Inflation is not something you might normally think about in MMOs but is informs so much of their design.
• Not Just Another Top Ten List
  OK. I lied. It is another top ten list of video games from Jamin Warren. But I actually think has some interesting things to say.
• Now We Look Super Timely
  There are still Otakon 2014 reports coming in.
  • Anitwitter Unite!: All Geeks Considered gathers Patz, Chihayafuruhime, and Mike Toole to talk about Otakon.
  • I AM OFFENDED!: There are no reviews of a single of one of MY panels therefore it is worthless.

  Kate’s picks

• Elves, Ultra Agents, and More!
  In this confidential LEGO photo leak we get a look at a ton of upcoming sets!
• A Horrifying Tale of Black Market Pumpkin Spice Syrup
  This is cautionary, children. But hey that french toast sounds good!

  If only you could summon it!

If you mention Crusher Joe it is impossible for these two not to come up in conversation:

 Kate’s picks:

• Studio Ghibli Dioramas
  An exhibit from South Korea.
• The Pumpkin List You Need
  Though they admit it is probably incomplete, this is at least a helpful list of the pumpkin-flavored things of the season!
• Yadda Yadda Millennials Are the Worst

 Alain’s picks:

• You Mean they Did not Have Machine Guns in Ancient Rome?
  Extra Credits looks at balancing accuracy, playability, and teaching potential in historical games.
• Pizza Slander
  The OSMcast! lies about pizza for a podcast. Sad really.
• A Sad String of Fate
  The oddly placed string of dominoes that would spark the first world war.
• Making False Connections
  The more you learn about your brain the more you realize how easy it is to jump to the conclusion you want.

 From Kate Beaton’s “Wee” series . . . Tesla!

 Alain’s picks:

• A Review that is Over the Rainbow
  The Anime World Order looks at all of Gundam Unicorn. What about the show is Sayla Mass excellent and what about it is Nina Purpleton horrible?
• Cerberus: The Otakon Review
  A look at Otakon from the perspective of three different members of the Ani-Gamers. Do you think all the recent crowd funded projects are just panhandling or a chance for English-speaking fans to put their money where their mouth is?
• It Can be Done?
  A look at the free to play model that shows exactly what is wrong with it from people who actually think it is a good idea. Just a bit sickening.
• This Could Actually be Very Fun
  Healthy skepticism is warranted but I am hopeful about a The Greatest American Hero reboot by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. If nothing else the theme song for the original show was so darn catchy.
• RE.FIRE
  The Veef show looks back on Macross 7 to celebrate its 20th anniversary! Now with less of a focus on the music or mecha but on the actual show itself. But you can’t avoid talking about Fire Bomber.

  Kate’s picks

• LEGO Detective Agency
  Of course, I’m hype, but there are no actual images yet. Still, at this point once can have a lot of confidence when it comes to LEGO sets.
• How to Write More Diverse Characters: Stop Being Afraid
  This and other wise words from comic writer Gene Luen Yang.

Also worth noting is that Under the Dog made its funding goal:
