In a truly lengthy episode, our three hosts talk about GaymerX2, Irrational Games closing, DOOM getting a beta and other news that interest us. Emma talks about her visit to Stockholm's Technical Museum where they had a History of Videogames presentation, Tobiichi gets a really good long rant on LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII's story and then Tommy accidentally invented the next Quake game.
In this episode of Discussing Old Stuff, Tommy and Tobiichi talk about good old games like Interstate '76, Cannon Fodder and Pinball Dreams... Oh wait, it's not DOS, it's The Final Battle. Well, that's what we did anyway, because Emma wasn't here to stop us from being old. We also talked about Nintendo, Deep Down, NIS America and Harmonix doing a first person shooter.
Greg is still dead and there's nothing to do about it without some dough. We gush over how much we all love Tonari no Seki-kun and talk about our favourite character albums and Anime OSTs. Another bland-sounding Light Novel adaptation get discussed and Tobiichi picks all the wrong shows to name recognizable voice actors from. Also, what the hell happened in Mikakunin this week!? We take responsibility for nothing.
JAAP returns from the ether after a week and a half with Jon taking center stage as the only one who actually watched everything, while Tobiichi and Rex manage to bullshit their way through Hunter X Hunter despite not having seen the show. Sit back and enjoy as Jon talks about his newfound obsession with Muv Luv and Rex gets racist. It's JAAP Episode 82: The episode that never ends.
This week, Rex and Tobiichi have died (it's only temporary, they'll be revived next week) and left Jon and Greg to fend for themselves. What kind of wacky hijinks do they get up to? They...actually stay on track. Jon gets revved up about Build Fighters and both hosts get really, really upset by that foolish Nobunaga dubstep show, but are immediately cheered up by the other Nobunaga show with the cool name and guns. Nobunaga should really just join JAAP as a co-host at this point.
This week, Cliffy B has escaped! The JAAP crew doesn't venture off to recapture him because they're too busy getting upset by incest shows and Nobunaga's dubstep robots and they need to podcast about it for your sick pleasure. Elsewhere, Rex wins the fight of the century™ and Tobiichi is crowned the Macaulay Culkin of Sweden while Jon disappoints Greg more than anyone ever should because Greg has the best taste and we should all praise his being and help him become the new assistant to the king of Egypt. He totally didn't write this description.
This week on The Final Battle, the trio completely tears apart one of Tobiichi's most nostalgic games from her childhood, they talk Sega Dreamcast and Sega Saturn for a bit. Mark Cerny, the patron saint of this podcast, becomes to the topic of discussion once more as the trio starts talking about Shenmue at GDC 2014 and it's all a very unstructured mess that pretends to be a professional podcast once again.
Back from GAMEX, Tobiichi brings with her Emma Karlholm to help talk about all the things they saw at the expo. Tobiichi and Tommy have a long talk about Tomb Raider and it all ends up another long episode of The Final Battle.
Welcome, welcome. This week we discuss videogames, internet adverts, bad art styles, and the thought process behind the name of the show. Oh, and Tobiichi and I talk about Origin Systems for an hour, mostly about Ultima and Wing Commander. Seriously, fuck you EA, you killed Ultima! (And C&C, Wing Commander, Sim City, Populous… Ugh. […]
AKA: It just grapples and gropes AKA: +10 Stalin Shovel AKA: Papa Boris Provides References AKA: Abortion on Demand AKA: Deep Fried Abortion AKA: Turnipcommunication We have lots of alternate titles this week. For the game Tobiichi made, click here. Your host this week was Jay Solomon with Adam Owen, Tobiichi Karlsson, Matt Shoestring, Tomasz […]
Greg went to a event and played the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One and gives his impression on games such as Watch_Dogs, Dead Rising 3, RYSE: Son of Rome, Knack and others. We speak about how Grand Theft Auto V suggests that the earlier of the two weekend days happen to just be splendid for fisticuffs and there ends up being a surprisingly detailed yet spoiler-free talk about Disgaea D2. While Tommy gets to speak a good bit about Amiga and Tobiichi gets to gush about Shadow Warrior, the group agrees that they all really just want to party all the time. Party all the time. Party all the time. ... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?
Tobiichi reclaims her hosting seat and leads the crew into discussion about every show watched this season. Relive the horror of Blood Lad, try and comprehend the plot of Day Break Illusion, listen to more talk about Love Lab and The Eccentric Family than is recommended by the FDA, and remember that, yes, Mushibugyou was a thing that Marhsall watched for more than one season. Awards are given out and conversation becomes heated as this season of anime draws to a close.
Stranded without Tobiichi for the rest of the season, Greg and Michael are forced to find companionship in the arms of moshi body pillows. Braving the news of a third season of Teekyuu, the two discuss their favorite and least favorite drama series, learn about manba fashion, and try to figure out what Sunday Without God is trying to do with itself. Chaos ensues as the dynamic duo unravel the mysteries of the Dog of Dracula series, divulge the secrets of Marshall Henderson's alter-ego of Beardonetta, and lay out plans for an Austin Powers anime.
Marshall and Gregory are missing, Michael and Tobiichi stand alone against a total of 33 shows with a total of 39 episodes to describe and discuss. Multiple shows are dropped and ranted against, and Michael is cursed for the Season Groupwatch he brought upon the JAAP hosts. From amazing shows to complete garbage, JAAP 54 has it all.
