One for the Money, Two for the Show

hisui_icon_4040 It always seems like Kate and I go through long stretches where we don’t do any guest spots on other podcasts, then by coincidence we do a whole batch of guests appearances, and then another long dry spell. And I keep that trend alive by being on two Internet series in quick enough succession that I can put both of them in the same post.

My first guest appearance was a follow-up to my November appearance on the OSMcast!. I was on the podcast JUST before the DLC case for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, called Turnabout Reclaimed, was released in English. So we agreed to record this supplemental podcast after we both played through the new case to give a complete overview of the game. This time we were also joined by Mark from The Oriental Cartoon Show podcast who could not make the first podcast.

We don’t make TOO many fish related puns. I promise.

My second appearance was on the Shinjuku Station live video stream with Soul Bro Ryu who most people will recognize as a member of the Gundamn! Podcast. He was doing an introductory lesson on how to do your own video streaming program as well as answering any questions people might have about such a project. Sadly Soul Bro usually starts the video streams at night and therefore me having to wake up at 4am for work prevents me from attending their regularly scheduled shows. (I mean they used to live watch Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure so you know I wanted to attend.) But since I can catch up on some sleep on New Year’s day I decided to stay up at participate a bit before I went to bed.

Now you too can be a Let’s Play superstar!

Dual Podcasts but One Destiny

Hisui was just on the OSMcast! to talk about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, the 5th game in the main Ace Attorney series. As always the first part of the OSMcast! discusses what everyone is doing, the middle part is the spoiler free discussion, and the end is for people who have played the game. Does Dual Destinies overcome the somewhat tarnished legacy of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney? Can it surpass the high point that was Trials and Tribulations? Or is it more Justice for All than anything else? Listen in and find out.

This episode was recorded shortly before the DLC case Turnabout Reclaimed was released so while that case is mentioned in passing it is not part of the review. There might be a supplemental episode in the future about that.

Pacific Rim: Sie Sind Das Essen Und Wir Sind Die Jäger!

When Guillermo del Toro does an American super robot movie where huge mecha battle equally huge monsters, a single website cannot cover it effectively. Therefore it takes the combined might of The Cockpit, Ogiue Maniax, and us at the Reverse Thieves to handle the Category 5 Kaiju that is Pacific Rim. While the movie was hardly perfect we generally gush about it while taking apart some of its weaker aspects. The greatest regret is we did not bring up Godannar more in the podcast.

If anyone was curious this Wiki has a fairly good trivia section for each Kaiju in the movie and what classic monster inspired them. If you want to see the inspiration for the Jaeger names, I have to assume it was this.

If nothing else, this is the only Pacific Rim podcast you will listen to with a Natalie Merchant joke in it. So come drift with us.
