Sometimes, you just gotta talk about cartoons. And in this latest, greatest episode of the OSMcast, we do just that! This is the episode where we talk about Rebecca Sugar's and Cartoon Network's Steven Universe. It's a show about a boy and his three awesome magical moms. Or aunts. Or, something. It's pretty great.

We also remissness about that MMO we are always playing, as well as MTAC (next year they're going 16-bit!), video games, and some silly piece of cloth that Doug adores but will never let anyone ever see. Ever.

Speaking of talking and things that are fun, we'll be at Momocon! Well, Basil and Kevin shall be. Not only that,but we'll be present a slew of panels. A slew! Like... four or five of them. Enough we may just have a post just about that itself. Basil will have to work on that.

Also, we have switched hosting! The OSMcast is now powered by simplecast.fm. What this means is that in May/June we will be switching RSS feeds! So if you would like to switch your RSS now, that might make things easier for the future!

But until then, have some Time Cues:

Waaaaaaaaaay back in the earlier days of the OSMcast!, we met a young man named Micah Solusod. Turned out he was the English Voice Over Artist for the role of Soul in Soul Eater. Since then, the man has gone to do a whole lot more of that Voice Over Stuff! Guy's been in Wolf Children, Kamisama Kiss, and just recently was one of the main guys in the English adaption of Ping Pong: the Animation!

So we decided it was time to get back in touch with the kid, and see what was going down lately. This happened at MTAC 15 to Life this year, in a press conference style sort of the affair along with the Chainsaw Buffet and some other wonderful folks. Please, have a listen.

The OSMcast has returned! We have come back to to talk about all sorts of things! But primarily, Kami-Con, a fun anime con in Birmingham, Alabama. We talk about our adventures there, as well as things like Dragons and Monsters on Quests and Strikes. With a side of science and goofin' off.

That said, we have switched hosting! The OSMcast is now powered by simplecast.fm. What this means is that in May/June we will be switching RSS feeds!

But until then, Time Cues!

The 2014 OSMawards for Most Awesome Manga and Anime

February is almost over! And as everyone agrees that Febuaray is the best month for looking back at the previous year, it’s time to wrap up the 2014 OSMawards! This time, it’s all about the wonders of Japanese comics and cartoons. You know, the good stuff.

Stuff such as, does Gundam the Origin keep the throne for Most Baller Manga in 2014? So how DID Viz Media get their groove back? Watch anime shows has Basil still yet to watch, even though he knows what’s good for him? All these burning questions are answered!

But don’t worry! We also talk about some video games, as well as some… books?! Yeah, reading words is hard! We have no idea why people would do such a thing. Reading. Geez.

Since we have already established that no one reads anything, why do we even both with Time Cues? The world may never know…!

Final Thoughts – 118:30

And in case anyone is in Birmingham this weekend, it’s Kami-con time! We’ll be there! Not running any panels… But we’ll be there! We’ll be going to other people’s panels and various other events. Like Vertical Comics’ panels! Chances are, you’ll be hearing all about it. But just don’t talk about it, be about it! Go to Kami-con! Check out the vertical panels and tell them how baller their manga is. That way, they’ll know we sent you.

The 2014 OSMawards for most Awesome Video Games, TV Shows, and Movies. But in reverse order.

Oh snap! It’s time for the 2014 OSMcast OSMawards! AKA the not so much awards, more like we just talk about the stuff we liked from the last year. Since last time we did it in the order of Video Games, then TV Shows, THEN Movies, we decided to switch things up! Into reverse order!

So now it’s Movies, then TV Shows, and THEN a whole bunch of Video Games.

Although we kind of start with a video game. But ignore that! Actually… Don’t. Don’t ignore that.

We (and by we, we mean Basil) also complain about things that won’t let us give them money, and also not letting us give them the money on stuff we wanted them to! It’s a gas.

First of, the OSMcast will be at Kami-con, covering the whole dang joint. Fun times shall be had! If you see us around (probably at the Hamacon table), come say hello!

Secondly, Time Cues~

The gang’s all here.

It’s time to ring in the year two thousand and fifteen, and what better way to do that than with our longest episode title to date! Serioulsy… It could be the name of a light novel. Well, I guess we would need to make it “The OSMcast Roundtable of Our Youth and Current Age That One Winter Evening About PlayStation 3, 4, PSP and Vita.”

Ok, now it’s a light novel book title. But it is an oral history. Or something. In audio, in any case. Audio all about PlayStation Three and above. The games, the systems, more about the games, questions about things. I’m pretty sure that you now know what you are getting into. If not, well, good luck!

Hey we all know what you were scrolling down to see! Those Time Cues , am I right?

By the Twelve that was a lot of games.

The Sony PlayStation 2

We continue on our journey throughout all of PlayStation,.focusing this time on the Sony PlayStation 2. We talk about  the system, it’s games, and some more about it’s games. It’s a nostalgic action-packed episode that the whole family can enjoy!

As long as they can enjoy some folks talking about the PlayStation 2 for a couple of hours, anyway.

But to not leave all our Realm Reborn buddies in the lurch, we also  talk about the latest holiday event in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Which should be ending any day now. Well… How about that.

No time for notes Dr. Jones! Only time for Time Cues:

The Sony PlayStation

As it turns out, there has now been twenty years of PlayStation. So we decided to talk about those twenty years on the OSMcast! But as it turns out, there was a lot, a LOT to talk about just about the first PlayStation!

So listen on as we intend to talk about all of the PlayStation, then instead only talk about the first of PlayStation.

That said, we had a ton to say. We talk about the system itself, where it came from, and all the games we enjoyed on it throughout the years.

Turns out, there were a lot of games!

Let’s not mince words here. Because here comes a whole lot of them: ** Time Cues!**

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

We here at the OSMcast! are very thankful for many things. We are thankful that you listen! We are thankful that when we ask for questions, people send them!

We are also thankful for Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun. Which is an anime based of a manga by Izumi Tsubaki and adapted by Dogakobo.

We are also thankful for Dragons, Ages, Tea, and Not Losing Your Way. We are not so thankful for being conflicted about things, but hey have a brand new segment on us.

If you live in the USA, happy Thanksgiving tomorrow! If you do not live in the USA, happy things anyway! And for everyone wherever you are, here are the Time Cues:

Whoa! So, it’s been a while! Sorry about that. When we last updated, Basil and Kevin were heading off to AWA, while Doug left for Japan. And while there were plans for updates after that, instead we all got really sick. Really, really sick. But a few weeks ago we got back together, and recorded a podcast of questions solicited from Twitter. Then Basil got slammed with exams and getting stuff ready for the Hamacon Minicon this year. But worry no more! This is that episode! Uploaded! Online! For you to listen to!

This episode is ostensibly about the Questions from Listeners Like You, but we talk about a few things! We have a few video games to talk about like PEGGLE 2 OH MAN PEGGLE 2 GUYS as well as a few takes from Doug’s trip to Japan.

Man, we had a year of pretty constant updates, huh? Well, we are still planning to resume that practice! We have some awesome things lined up for you all. But until then, have some Time Cues~
