Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from James and myself. James pulls another tear-jerker out of nowhere with this month's watch along, Frienen Beyond Journey's End. Which is a delightful anime about an elf who does what most elves do, live a long time. In this anime, we watch the main character, Frienen, appear to stay roughly the same age as all the other members of her adventuring group grow older. How does she deal with this? Watch along and find out. #FrienenBeyondJourney'sEnd#anime #CrunchyRoll #watchalong Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com

James and I watch a slightly disturbing alternate-history anime called Tanya the Evil, where magic and science are side by side in a World War 1-like universe.

James and I delve into a delightful JRPG this week called Earthbound. Although a bit more niche when it first came out and still a bit of a cult classic, it has joined the ranks of Nintendo greatness over the years. While most first learned of the game's existence through Super Smash Bros, it has undoubtedly had a bit of a resurgence over the last few decades. #Earthbound #Nintendo, #gaming #podcast Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
James and I go into an anime with the slightly silly premise of if the Red Power Ranger fell in love with one of the main baddies of the show, Rita Repulsa. Though the names and the organizations are different, the premise is the same for this wonderfully silly, one season anime, that is all about the dangers of falling in love when your families hate each other.

James and I begin our classic RPG series with a doozy, Fallout 1 by Interplay Entertainment which was released in 1997 to well deserved applause. But what made this game a unique outlier of the times as the console setting was really starting to take hold in the gaming world. Well we discuss that and more as we venture from our Vault into the wasteland of pc games. #Fallout # Bethesda #pcgaming #RPG Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
We jump into an excellent anime series that I truly loved, but James had fallen away from. The series was Netflix's Castlevania Season 2 Episode 1, where we enter into a world with Dracula beginning the annihilation of the human race, Trevor Belmont is trying to figure out his next move with Alucard and Sypha in a destroyed town that murder Dracula's wife years ago. To say this was one of my favorite series out of the Netflix anime boom of the 2010's would be an understatement. Truly a bloody romp through this world of vampires and religious fanatics, this is a blast and wonderful ingesting of sensory overload. #Castlevania #Season2 #Bromance Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
We close off this trilogy with a foray into the GameCube era, as we discuss the controversial Legend of Zelda: Windwaker. James and I discuss a bit about how this strange departure from the rest of the Zelda series really divided fans of the series, almost simply because of its art style alone. We also discuss how this change in art style and gameplay paved the way for many other fan favorites, such as Breath of the Wild. Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
James and I talk about one of his favorite games in the Legend of Zelda series, Majora's Mask. This one hits home for James, as it was a large part of his childhood and the impression it left on him. This game also really left a dent in the gaming sphere of the early 2000s on its innovation and storytelling. We enjoyed talking about this one immensely so sit back, open your ears, and enjoy. Please enjoy, SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
James christens our watch along series with an anime favorite of his My Dress Up Darling.

James and I talk one of our favorite RPG tabletop games of all time, Paranoia. This delightfully tongue in cheek 1984 tabletop RPG is probably one that James and I go back, constantly recommending to our friends when they want to have a fun and whacky time, but maybe don't want to dump a whole six months into a Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

James and I wade through the festering rats, as we explore the super upbeat and happy (this is sarcasm) Dark Ages French region of Aquitaine. Is this game really everything its been hyped as? Are single player games still cool to play? In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? These are all the things you will possibly learn about in this month's review episode. Please enjoy. SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
Jackie joins James and I as we fly into one of our favorite animes of the 2010's, Ancient Magus Bride. Jackie brings a unique perspective on the show, showing us that there is more to this one than just magic and fairies.

James and I have split the show in two, offer you our super hot takes "wink" on the average Neanderthal's take on video games. This is our news for June 2022.

Welcome back to the podcast. James and I make our triumphant return to recording ourselves acting like idiots for your enjoyment. We talk about what we've been up to these last six or so months, then dive straight into the big Microsoft and Sony arms race of 2022. We stop off for a bit of lighter fair as we discuss the upcoming Halo tv show and the impact esports is having on the Asian market (is it good? is it bad? come find out.) We'll wrap up with a review of one of our favorite anime of the last couple years, "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime." A fun little anime that turns the isekai genre on its head, with tons of pointless battles and big boobs that do nothing for the main character. We hope you all enjoy our return and here's to being back behind the mic. Cheers. #podcast #gamingnews #ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime #anime
James and I chat with Asa from Podzilla1985 talk about Nintendo possibly bringing some of our favorite Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games to the switch, the Twitch boycott against hate raids, Sony being weird about updating their games, China's gaming restrictions shut down servers, and Sony is changing up their PS5 hardware, maybe for the worse. Then we move right along and discuss the highly contentious Pokemon Sword and Shield. We go into whether the game was good enough to be brought onto the Switch, and if it was ready to come start a new generation of Pokemon trainers.

We then get into the wonderfully delightful indie game Axiom Verge solely created by Thomas Happ. This game is a nostalgia trip out the ying yang, as you travel through a unique take on the Metroid games of old. This game brings much warmth to my heart. Check it all out in this week's episode. SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
Do you enjoy looking at the tiny little details and then rubber stamping the form DENIED! when one little thing is out of place? James and I delve into the wonderfully simple, yet ultimately complicated world of bureaucracy, in this week's review of Papers, Please. This game came out of left field, with the simple idea of what if you were a immigration officer in a dystopian country? Seems simple right, you are very wrong. This game starts slow but slowly lets the tension build through each stage until you can feel the anxiety in your bones. But in a fun way. We also talk some gaming news, most notably the upcoming Xbox Game Pass list for this August and then Nintendo going after the little guy, who's just trying to illegally sell their old games. Check it all out in this week's episode. SPCAC contacts https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
James teaches me the intricacies of the human body in this week's episode as we talk about the part humorous, part educational hit anime Cells at work. James gives me the run down of what I have to look forward to in my old age as we cover the newest series to bare the name Cells at Work: Code Black, that welcomes us into the body of an older male (fun fact we talk about erections, Yay!)

James and I change up the show a bit this week. We've added a news segment that is just as disjointed as our conversations. We discuss the video game industry news, the big Blizzard fallout (aka don't touch me there), the new Steam Deck (the Switch killer), Netflix gets into video games, and finally the announcement of Demon Slayer Season 2 coming this year.... Get Hyped! We eventually make our way into the review of the recently released Super Mario 3d World+ Bowser's Fury.

Jackie and I continue our Harry Potter series with the next logical step, the third book in the series; The Prisoner of Azkaban. We discuss the increasing angst levels as the kiddos begin growing up and dealing with the real Wizarding World more and more. How does Harry and the gang improve as characters, did J.K. Rowling make a better choice of giving Harry a new loving family only to later tear them away from him...... I have strong feelings.

Vito (Not Your Father's Movies podcast) joins me in this week's episode to reminisce about one of our favorite Batman games, Rocksteady Studios initial foray into the Batman universe, Batman: Arkham Asylum. In this episode Vito and I discuss the many reasons why this game set the industry standard for open world games and really helped thrust Batman from the big screen onto home consoles everywhere. You'll hear us talk why this isn't necessarily just a Batman game, this is a Batman's Rogues Gallery game that has Batman in it. We go head long into this world that Rocksteady created with fervor and zeal, and hopefully do it a bit of justice critiquing it in the process. Please enjoy this week's episode.

James and I discuss his slight distaste for the smash hit from Studio MDHR, Cuphead. This fast paced side scrolling shooter has won the love and respect of many who have played it, but it has also earned their ire. This was the game that the Moldenhauer brothers took a chance on and won big, pouring their love and passion into this game that took them around seven years to complete. Why does James poopoo this game and why does this one give me the dopamine hit that crave so much? Find out this in this week's episode.

James and I talk about the smash hit from writer Riichiro Inagaki and artist Boichi.

James and I talk about one of his top games of Spring 2021 so far Sakuna of Rice and Ruin. This delightfully fun rice grower simulator mixed with action platforming areas, truly makes for a fun and interesting take on a coming of age story for a Japanese Goddess. James highly suggests you buy this one, as it is an independent studio two developers that made this one all by themselves. #Sakuna #orRice&Ruin #EdelweissStudios #indiedeveloper #videogame https://linktr.ee/seriouslypointlessconvo seriouslypointlessconvo@gmail.com
James and I contemplate how old we've gotten along with mentioning an oldie, but a goodie, Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings. We discuss how this real time strategy pc game pushed the RTS genre into what it looks like today. It showed us a nice blend of history along with fun RTS multiplayer games.

Vito from NYFM joins me again to converse about the wonderful Arkane Studios video game, Dishonored. Dishonored was released in 2012 and is much loved by fans throughout the world. Its blending of action and stealth, meld well with the chaos system that the studio developed for the game. This is truly Arkane's standout performance, before a somewhat decline in critical success.

What makes a good Studio Ghibli film? Is it art direction, or maybe a heartfelt story? Well if that's what makes a good film, Jackie and I agree that this film doesn't have it. Earwig and the Witch is a mess of half hearted movements and small tentative steps from a director trying to exit his father's shadow. Although the movie isn't a complete waste of time to watch, I can say we will not be making this a regular family watch.
