South Figaro Podcast

After little rest between E3, Heavensward and Batman: Arkham Knight, these neck-and-neck releases are enough to drive me batty. We shake off the remnants of E3 while talking about the latest release of Arkham Knight, discussing the good (graphics!), the bad (PC port!) and the questionable (the Batmobile and....Batman?). Afterward, Blue Map takes a page from my FFVII book and gushes endlessly about the new characters and gameplay refinements of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition while TDOT recalls his repressed memories of the game that destroyed his innocence...while talking about the game that may have restored it.

You'd think after a five-and-a-half hour E3 video I would be dead tired, but who could rest when there's so much speculation over the recently announced Final Fantasy VII Remake? Dark Raven X, Adus and Stilts join me in a (thankfully shorter) hour-long back-and-forth where we discuss what we know so far, what we've heard so far, and what iconic moments we hope make their way back into the remake...and what should be left out. Enjoy the first of what will undoubtedly be many discussions about the single most-desired remake of all time. Whether the finished product turns out to be brilliant or disappointing, the next couple of years are going to be fun to think about.

If the announcement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake didn't kill me, this 5 hour long podcast might just do it. Fencingsax, Blue Map, TDOT, LockedOnTarget and Adus all endure my smugness while we all foolishly cover the entirety of E3 in one sitting. Don't make the same mistakes we did, and be sure to take frequent breaks as you listen to our divisive thoughts over what is undoubtedly one of the biggest gaming events in years, if not ever.

Also holy shit, the FFVII Remake is real. My excitetment has been archived for prosperity: https://youtu.be/ieB51rHpQ4Q

It's the last recording before E3, and we can feel the ground shaking on our feet. That isn't the power trying to come back on, it's the large and ferocious force of anticipation. While I talk hardware upgrades and Final Fantasy patches, Tdot and Blue Map finally explain to me what a "HOTS" is and why I should play it (or not). Other important discussions follow, such as Sonic's sudden Twitter prescence and just how many belts and straps does Berseria's lead require. Halfway through the show, Beeb comes in to talk Jurassic World. This podcast has been 65 million minutes in the making, and now open for your enjoyment.

Somestickguy has been traveling around the world, but makes some time to talk about the globe-trotting, vampire-slaying antics of JoJo and friends while I attempt to reintroduce him to Danmachi (apologies for calling it Danpachi throughout this recording). Fate/Stay Night, Rage of Bahamut and Mad Max (wait, that isn't an anime....or is it?) also get discussed. Dio may have The World, but I have your attention in the latest Anime Spoilercast!

This year's E3 is still a couple of weeks away, but we simply couldn't wait to lay down our predictions and prayers for the big event. How much Halo will Microsoft talk this year...or how little? Will Nintendo finally pull Metroid out of hiatus? Can we got an entire podcast without mentioning The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy VII or Mr Caffeine? Listen now and be astonished at our super-accurate predictions later!

We had originally planned to lay back and chill this week, but after a late night FFXIV session went cold, I decided to break the ice with whoever was available. Blue Map and ThatDudeOverThere join me in discussing Konami's cold reception to their increasingly bitter fanbase, The duo talk about their cool co-op experience with Outland, and I lament about having to put my Dualshock 4 PC plans on ice. The E3 coldfront is looming closer, so hunker down with us on this week's mini-episode. Ice to see you!

We have a new guest joining us by the name of Beeb (that's Mr. Beeb to you!), while Fencingsax appears as a no-show until the time it becomes most dramatic (i.e. the last third). Listen in as we conform pathetically to the latest trends, including The Witcher III and Mad Max: Fury Road. Also complaints abound, from Guacamelee's wall-jumps to setting up PS4 controllers on a PC, out-of-print games and season passes.

What a wonderful night to have a podcast. In this episode we talk about our first bit of good news following the Konami Calamity, while simultaneously bashing Konami some more. It's a double kickstarter conversation with Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee in addition to some other stuff like that new Assassin's Creed game, Tidus' cracking voice and P.T.'s growing popularity thanks to Konami's failed attempts to wipe it from memory. But enough talk! Have at you!

May 8th may be my birthday, but today I'll be the one giving you a present: another Anime Spoilercast episode! Somestickguy skips leg day to join me in a mixed discussion while posing various questions like "can you look past the fanservice to find the substance within?", "when does Evangelion get good?", "When will they freaking fight Dio?" and "What the hell is up with Konami?". Also some Marvel talk as well as fitness tips, because we're manly like that. Oh, that's a podcast!
