Our boy Dave (davidhoskins) flew up north to hang with us at ArcaneCon and dive a little deeper into RPGs and their relationship with our beloved tabletop wargames. We talk a little about what it's like to create artwork for and work with creators on some of the wildest RPGs coming out from Exalted Funeral, and about how his experience with RPGs led him to the point he's at. Terry gets his mind blown about Monster Rancher on the PS1 and generating monsters from CDs. Dave and Gage talk PaRappa the Rappa and Rodney Greenblat's work. Phil kills a fly live on air to show his pest control mastery, and Steve talks a little about End Transmission campaign and how he balanced RPG and wargame elements. Dark Tyler (@tylerisalrightatpainting) joins us a bit at the end as a little treat for all you tylerheads. Hooooooboy it's a ride!

do not tap the glass, dont touch the poo, look dont touch. everything i just said? NEWSFLASH: its been said before. But do you really understand? Either way listen up, tune in, sit down, and do the work. you ever heard of tool assisted speedrunning? you know Frodo Baggins? you think you know Greg? oh and im sure famous B too? w/e, get real.

In the 90s was when the anime floodgates opened in America, when programs like FOX KIDS started playing blocks of Japanese cartoons! But did we really need to catch 'em all? Shows like Shaman King, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, Monster Rancher and even (the best left forgotten) Fighting Foodons were trying to cash in on the enormous Pokemon craze. But there were others too. A few diamonds in the rough, as it were. And while your individual mileage may vary on this EXPLOSION of like-minded content, we share our thoughts on 6 shows that we remember watching... for better or worse. And later on, Parasite Steve drops a very anime inspired Retro Nouveau for a game he is currently obsessed with called Unicorn Overlord! ----------------------------------------Retro Ridoctopus is:• Parasite Steve (read)• 8-Bit Alchemy (listen) • Coopster Gold (join) • Nintenjoe (subscribe)----------------------------------------All original heavy metal music by Enchanted Exile Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/retro-ridoctopus/1ec74745-f04a-4933-8b43-5ac6e91086d3

Cumprindo uma das maiores promessas do Galinha Viajante, o episódio de hoje é de Monster Rancher! Uma das franquias favoritas do Leon, o jogo de treino de Monstrinhos ficou na sombra de Pokémon e Digimon, mas tem um grupo de fãs apaixonados, e com razão. Com mecânicas malucas e inovadoras e um gameplay que se sustenta muito bem até hoje, o jogador treina olhos voadores, lobos de chifre e lebres lutadoras.

Hunters, Ranchers, Sanctuaries, Pockets. That's it. That's all the monsters.

Monster Rancher might be the best monster raising simulator, I adore it and I can't stop playing it. There's also an anime about it and I love that too! It's centered around generating monsters from CDs. Luckily, the new switch port just lets you type the name of an album or artist. So let's get us a monster with a Rick Astley's classic Never Gonna Give You Up and raise them to be a champion!

Jake and Tony break out their CD collections, pray to the RNG gods, train up some monsters, and talk about the philosophy deep within the PS1 classic Monster Rancher 2. We also talk about Pokémon Emerald Rogue, Balloons Tower Defense 6, Super Mario Brothers Movie, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, For The King 2, Roboquest, Anode Heart. Got a game suggestion?

Die Anime auf RTL 2 haben unsere Kindheit und Jugend geprägt und ihre Intros begleiten uns noch heute: Egal ob als Playlist im Auto von Mel oder als Remix auf dem Dancefloor von Dosenbeatz. Auch Jolina, die zusammen mit Viet den Podcast “NANI?! – Der Anime Talk” hostet, ist schon als Kind vorm elterlichen Fernseher zu dem ein oder anderen Intro durchs Wohnzimmer getanzt. Aber welche Intros sind besonders tanzbar? Welche kann Gregor auf seiner Gitarre spielen und wie textsicher sind die drei Anime Fans wirklich? Denn zu den Kriterien für diese Tier Liste gehört auch die Lokalisierung der Lyrics – können die Deutschen Intros mit Eurodance- und Schlager-Vibes mit den japanischen Original mithalten oder sind sie noch schlechter als die englischen Versionen? Schreibt uns in die Kommentare, ob ihr mit dem Ranking von Mel, Jolina und Gregor einverstanden seid, oder ob ihr noch andere Anime Intros in S wie SUGOI einsortiert hättet. Und welche Intros sollen die drei in der nächsten Folge ranken?

What the hell, Yoko Taro?After our recently published "25 Years, 25 RPG Moments" feature, we decided to get the crew at Retro Encounter together to talk about some of the moments that made us laugh, made us happy, and most importantly, the ones that wrecked us.What moments did we choose? Which ones did we miss? Who got too emotional to talk for a little while? Listen in to find out!(Note: there are heavy spoilers for a number of the games we discuss here, notably Breath of Fire IV, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Dragon Quest XI, Monster Rancher 2, Mother 3, Suikoden II, Final Fantasy X, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and NieR: Automata.

Welcome back to the Pure Nintendo Podcast. After a short break, we're back to bring you the latest from the team, including our usual amiibo update, a look at our latest magazine, and the games we're playing this week.It's that crazy time of year again! This week Roger and Jemma talk about Black Friday - what does the day even mean? And are there any good sales on the Nintendo eShop? The biggest news from the team this week is the release of our latest issue of Pure Nintendo Magazine. This issue is all about Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, with a cover story co-written by Jemma herself along with her colleague Cody.This leads the pair into a discussion of the games we're playing lately. Sadly, neither of us have managed to pick up Pokémon Scarlet/Violet just yet (we'll revisit that topic next week). Thankfully, another Japanese-themed game has had Jemma enamored. Yes, it's a little game about big monsters, something called Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher. And it's really good. Roger also delves into his latest gaming review, a quirky little title called Once Upon a Jester. This interesting-sounding game is full of humor and Roger works hard at convincing Jemma it's worth a play. Spoiler alert: she didn't take much convincing.Support the magazine!Check out the site! https://purenintendo.com/To learn more about how to subscribe to the magazine, check out our Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/PureNintendoFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PureNintendoSend us your questions on Twitter!Music:Gigakoops - Tunnel of HateRolemusic - If Pigs Could SingKris Keyser - OHC3

Time to immerse yourself in all things geeky and nerdy. Jarred and Turtle dive headfirst into debates and discussions from all of your favorite fandoms. On this week's episode the duo discuss: Monster Rancher. An anime from the late 90's/early 00's anime that took a video game champion and isekai'd him into the world of his favorite game. A world populated with intelligent and fluent monsters that are born forth from discs (and also PS1 discs). This colorful Pokemon clone also spawned a game series where kids ran a ranch, raised monsters, stole their parents CD's so they can try to unlock new monsters, trained those monsters, bonded with them, made them stronger, forced them to fight, until they got too old and died so you used their essence to strengthen their replacement...And we wonder why Millenials are so jacked up?! Also we discussed the Kenobi trailer and all of our hopes for the series. So sit right back and get hot and nerdy on this week's episode of Talk Shonen!

Jacob and Daeva revisit Monster Rancher 2, in the wake of the new English language Switch release. Sorry about the random nosedive in Jacob's audio quality. 

This time on The Booster Pack we focus on the future, rather than the past.Rands sits down with Sterling—an Atlanta animator turned trading card game creator—about his brand new TCG called "D-Spirits".D-Spirits captures the charm and nostalgia of monster taming IPs such as Pokémon, Digimon & Monster Rancher and mixes it with elements of modern pop culture. The game's characters are refreshingly bright, optimistic & diverse.Sterling starts by sharing his personal history with TCGs before telling us about his experiences creating one for the very first time. Throughout the conversation we also learn what makes D-Spirits different from the other TCGs that current populate LGS shelves._______find D-SPIRITS_______Website:https://www.dspirits-online.com/Discord:https://discord.gg/dspiritsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/dspiritsonline/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/dspiritsonlineHow to play video via YouTube:https://youtu.be/vKuTkPNKuhE_______find other SterlingCartoons creations_______Website:https://www.sterlingcartoons.com/SterlingCartoons YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK_hMQ9Y4vU2r9ORA97HduQ/videos~SPONSOR~:https://www.categoryonegames.com/(find classic CCG & TCG cards at Category One Games!!!)THE BOOSTER PACK—let us know feedback, topic suggestions or games you'd like to hear about via email or any of our social media (DMs are also open to anyone)Find CCG History:https://www.facebook.com/CCGhistoryhttps://twitter.com/CCGHistoryThis show is also available on video.

Brett is very excited to talk about Forza Horizon 5 from Xbox Game Pass. It's an open-world sandbox racing game set in Mexico that is about as perfect as a racing game can be. We also review Kena Bridge of Spirits. It's an indie title that released earlier this year as a PS5 exclusive that looks an awful lot like a Pixar film. We also talk more on Guardians of the Galaxy and Spiderman in Marvel's Avengers! In the news, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally getting good reviews from Black Friday and there is a Marvel MMO in the works. We also talk about Halo Infinite XP Changes and how hackers are affecting crossplay. EA wants to make a connected Battlefield universe and they delisted Titanfall on the stores. Finally, Playstation is working on a Game Pass competitor due out in Spring 2022.We close out the show with our discussion on the future of the metaverse. Something is coming in the future and we don't know exactly what it is. There are crazy stories of cryptocurrency going out of control, decentralized worlds being created, virtual land selling for millions and people selling their pixel art as NFT's. We discuss what this could mean for the future of gaming.Check out video clips of our news every week over on YouTube.Show Notes:2:46 - Forza Horizon 522:21 - Kena Bridge of Spirits39:59- Guardians of the Galaxy54:37 - Spiderman in Marvel's Avengers1:07:51 - Mass Effect TV Show, Cyberpunk 2077, Halo Infinite and Sony Game Pass2:00:20 - The Future of the Metaverse2:30:47 - Upcoming Video Game Releases2:37:25 - Surprise EndingBecome a part of the conversation!

En este programa de Checkpoint sólo se podía hablar de una de las novedades recientes, y es que acaba de llegar a las estanterías Pokemon Diamante Brillante y Perla Reluciente, remake de una de las entregas más queridas de la franquicia de monstruos de bolsillo. Centrándonos tanto en los aspectos que hicieron brillante al original como en las razones por las que este remake es menos que reluciente, intentamos dilucidar porqué la saga Pokemon parece nunca llegar a desatar todo su potencial.Para la segunda parte del programa hablamos de monstruos, pero de otra clase. Hacemos un repaso por franquicias de coleccionar, criar y combatir con monstruos que no son Pokemon, pero tampoco de Digimon ni otra gran franquicia. De ese modo, hacemos un repaso por juegos como Azure Dreams o Monster Rancher, entre otros, para comprobar que el subgénero de la crianza de monstruos va mucho más allá de Nintendo y Bandai Namco. Para acabar, contestamos las preguntas de nuestros oyentes, preocupados por la tibia recepción que está recibiendo la nueva entrega de Pokemon.

So now we're putting Jimmy's boy toys on the payroll?

This week on the show, the Nicks take a look at the fate that's befallen Digimon & its fans! Is it always doomed to trail in the shadow of Pokemon or is it underappreciate genius ahead of its time?? ### Fandom Facts * Digimon has spawned 7 anime series, 16 movies, 8 manga series, 43 video games, and a collectible card game. * There was a point in history where Digimon was more popular that Pokemon… [in North America at least](https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2001-02-19/fox-kids-wins-broadcast-ratings). In February of 2001, it took the number two rating slot among kids 6-11 (Pokemon was third). Similar, but unconfirmed: Digimon was Fox's most popular kids show (even more than Power Rangers) * The series was only expected to last 13 episodes: "Digimon was just supposed to be a series of half-hour commercials for the toys. Specifically, the Digimon cartoon was to be released in tandem with the PlayStation game Digimon World. But when the show became unexpectedly and wildly popular on its own, more episodes were quickly ordered. In a twist, the Digimon device faded into history, the games did okay, and the show ended up [being the franchise's legacy](https://www.thegamer.com/25-crazy-things-you-never-knew-about-digimon/)." ### First Impressions #### Z: I remember watching a bit of the initial Digimon anime alongside Pokemon and Monster Rancher. I got into Pokemon because of the games, I enjoyed Monster Rancher because of how the story seemed to resemble a lot of what I'd seen of that era's JRPGs' stories. But Digimon always struck me as being somehow more episodic than either of those shows, despite having episodes-long, standalone arcs. I think I just didn't appreciate the ensemble-style show that Digimon was. What little I saw of the games I inevitably compared to Pokemon. Which was pretty much all I could do since I never had a Playstation back in the day, and so never could play the Digimon games to begin with. Overall, my impression then (and now) is that Digimon was the result of a rival company seeing Pokemon's success and wanting to copy it. #### T: I don't think that I'd thought that Digimon was a knock-off until I got older, and even then, it was mostly ironically. I remember watching the first season or two when it aired, and even coming home on a Friday after school to see it and other anime premiere on YTV's "The Zone". I definitely saw some of the third season and of Digimon Frontier, but at that point I wasn't watching the show with any regularity so I couldn't follow it at all: It was a lot harder to follow than Pokemon,especially if you didn't catch the episodes in order. I don't think I was as attached to the franchise because all of the monsters were so different, and there wasn't anything to latch on to (no types, no memorable names with lots of Japanese references, no stats)... the characters I could get a lot more, and I definitely remember having a crush on Mimi, Sora, and Kari (Season 2… actually, most of their Season 2 incarnations). I want to say that I felt like I could relate to Tai and Matt's relationship (reminded me of a friend and I's)… but I think more realistically I could relate to Izzy. I might have had a friend that had a digimon in elementary school at the end of the Tamagotchi craze. ### Famous Last Words What did we have to say about an upcoming episode's topic, Vaporwave with only our first impressions? **G: **Is vaporwave a joke?_ _ **T: **What is vaporwave, and why do any of us know about it?_ _ **Z: **Are there currently any artists working in the vaporwave space that explicitly state that? Many subgenres exist around it, and I'm curious if anyone specifically calls out the association. ## Where can you find us? Pretty much everything we do is `something/thenickscast`, but in specific... * If you're looking for this podcast (Fanthropological), you can find it at [Fanthropological.com](h

On this episode, Kate and Dennis are joined by returning guest Caitlin and new guest Karen as we go over the classic series The Vision of Escaflowne in honor of the 20th anniversary of the series finale and just before the re-release of the series on bluray by Funimation. We find out Karen's anime origins, go over old convention war stories, talk about some of our favorite Ocean Group dub actors, disappointing sequel series to good anime, and that's all before we even talk about this week's anime topic. We do have some hard hitting questions though. What's up with Van's useless armor? Merle doesn't wear pants? Why does Dennis even remember Monster Rancher? Is Amano secretly a terrible person and athlete? Why does Hitomi think it's a good idea to run "through" Van...again? How does Fanelian steel work? What is the purpose of Allen's puffy shoulders? Did Zaibach invent the equivalent of Skype? Ancient Fanelian technology = ancient Aztec technology? Is Dilandau a giant prude? Hope you enjoyed our talk about Disc 1 of The Vision of Escaflowne. Remember, don't watch the music videos on this disc. However, the next batch of episodes will have something better... Club Escaflowne. Thanks to special guests Caitlin (We're Not Twins Cosplay) and Karen (Rya Cosplay).
