The Feed From Geek Mountain

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain, Episode 106! Continuing on our month of tropes, This week is The Power of Friendship in anime! We'll talk about what it is, where you can find it, and what's going on with this trope in particular. We've mentioned it before on previous episodes, but we never actually just talked about it! It's our favorite most hated trope. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefeedfromgeekmountain/message

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain podcast, Episode 105! One of the most common tropes in video games is most often that really powerful item that you can only use once. You feel like a demonic powerhouse for only a brief moment in time only to go back to your normal self shortly afterward. Other times, you may hoard these items for a rainy day or an emergency when ultimately you forget to use it at all. Sometimes you may even save it for that epic final boss fight. Regardless of how you use it or lack thereof, it's powerful and one-time use is a common trope. Time to explore more tropes. We'll be looking at different tropes all month and ending off on a trope festival at the end of the month! This week, we're looking at too awesome to use mechanics! Thanks for listening.

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain podcast, Episode 104! As some of the biggest anime are coming out in 2022, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, Shield Hero, Overlord, My Hero Academia, etc etc, we often overlook many of its literary shortcomings and only praise what they do well. Everything is open to criticism (even JoJo) and one of the most popular critiques of anime are its heavy use of tropes. From specific character archetypes like cute lolis to more nuanced literary devices such as deus ex machina, tropes remind us that nothing is original and writers can be overly lazy. We'll be looking at different tropes all month and ending off on a trope festival at the end of the month! This week, we're talking about your favorite shitty anime's sh*ttiest trope: loredumping/infodumping. Thanks for listening. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefeedfromgeekmountain/message

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain podcast, Episode 81! --- The mountain is shaming all of you.... for not talking about timeskips in anime! One of the most awesome things in story is when a timeskip occurs. The characters grow and the plot has developed during this time to something more mature.

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain, Episode 78! ---- Phantasy Star Online 2 released Globally on July 4th and everyone and their grandmother hopped onto this 7 year old MMORPG. Not only was the character creation the best any game had to offer prior to it, but the action drastically differed from many RPGs as well. From monthly events, large-scale boss fights, and concerts, this MMO had everything for casuals, anime fans, hardcore players, and everything in between. It's perfect.... until the release trailer of NG dropped. Players soon found out that this expansion to PSO2 would build upon the Sega RPG, yet nothing important really will transfer between the games and you would start over from Lv1. So how are people now supposed to navigate their way into this new world? idk, but let's make it easier for people starting in. --- Shoutouts to Nyxx_Altios for joining us this week!

And what's a better way to start Women's History Month than talking about women-related topics? This week is all about the unfortunate stories of gatekeeping girl (women) gamers.

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain podcast, Episode 63 --- As we climb higher and higher on the Geek Mountain this week, we reach the peak of controversy.

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain, Episode 62. Continuing from our conversation about chill video games, we all need something chill to sit back and relax to once in a while too when we're not gaming.

What is even more astounding is that slice of life anime elements are in most anime today! So today we'll be exploring what makes an anime a "slice of life" and our favorite slice of life series to date! Shoutouts to Aykayyy47 for joining us this week!

Welcome to The Feed from Geek Mountain, Episode 57! We've came a long way this year... it's time to end on an informal note: The Informal Feed! Our random topic episode where we bring all sorts of topics to the mountain and try to decipher the code within. Is Jujutsu Kaisen (Sorcery Fight) anything like Attack on Titan? Why are villain organizations so common in shounen anime? Is Cyberpunk 2077's new "official" gameplay actually... gameplay? Who plays competitive multiplayer games without mics and WHY?! Are games as a service the new model for publishers? And how can anyone get a next-gen console without fighting through bots or paying thousands of dollars?! Shoutouts to... Jacuuz?? He hopped back on the podcast this week! Check him out on his Twitch channel at twitch.tv/jacuuuz playing whatever his little heart desires. This is the last episode of Season 2! See you all next year for SEASON 3. Make sure to keep up with us via social media at "The Feed from Geek Mountain". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefeedfromgeekmountain/message
