South Figaro Podcast

Still reeling from that double dose of turkey eating and money spending? Why not rest your gluttonous bottom on the couch and listen to Somestickguy and I muse about the most recently concluded anime offerings as well as the current new hotness?

It's a double dose of podcasting excellence, delivered to you by the best in the business! Also, Blue Map and Shadowfire join me, as we talk about the latest developments with Star Wars Battlefront 2, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, Sonic Forces and the Justice League movie. We also talk about things that aren't crap, like Assassin's Creed Origins (what a shock!), the Xbox One X (what a double shock!) and its various subscription services (what a triple shock!)!

Is there even any point in me saying how fantastic Super Mario Odyssey is? Blue Map and Beeb hear me rave about it anyway, in addition to the newly cracked and modded SNES Classic. I also regale the events that led to NeoGAF's downfall and Reset Era's birth from the ashes.

This recording may have been a bit more relavant three weeks ago when it was originally scheduled, but since we're all about discussing older games, there's a certain irony to be had, right? Right. Beeb joins me to talk about the SNES Classic, the hoops I had to leap through to find one, and the multitude of titles to drool over once the console gets modded (spoilers: it didn't take very long to mod it).

After narrowly missing the destructive winds of Hurricane Irma, it's all sunshine and rainbows for ol' Snugglesworth....at least metaphorical rainbows. Blue Map joins me in an unfocused and casually disorganized episode where we discuss Rainbow Six: Siege, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, He-Man, Transformers, Thundercats, the latest Nintendo Direct and everything else under the sun. 

While thumbing my nose at the upcoming Hurricane Irma (and as you can see from this update, I brushed off that storm no problem...or is this an update from Ghost Snugglesworth? Wooooooo....), Stickguy is back to discuss another round of Anime. While jeering at the past with Kado: The Right Answer, we look toward the horizon with more optimistic entries like Made in Abyss. And of course there's some games to discuss as well, including the rising popularity of Yakuza in the West and its future incarnations.

Experience has proven that you could never put up enough warning signs for Game of Thrones spoilers, so pardon the excessive WARNINGS FOR GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS WHICH ARE IN HERE. Beeb and I have just finished Season 7 of Game of Thrones, and we take a look back at the long and bloody history of the series while predicting what's to come in the finale.

(Note: There are Game of Thrones spoilers in this discussion about Game of Thrones spoilers spoilers spoilers SPOILERS)

While we wait for the closed beta for Dissidia NT to go live, Shadowfire and I spend an hour to talk about our not-so-secret obsession with Final Fantasy's mobile offerings. Banner rolls, Record Synergies, the proper pronounciation of "Celes"...if these things interest you, come join us for a spell! If not....join us anyway! We talk about other stuff too...briefly.

Many happy returns are here: Beeb is back after several episodes of abscene, Sonic is back to finally reclaim his status from that three dimensional imposter with the middling gameplay, and I have returned to feverishly obsessing over all things Final Fantasy...wait, wasn't I doing that already? Many current topics are discussed in today's podcast, ever late to the party but always fashionably punctual....now has anyone seen my pants?

EVO 2017 has wrapped up, and Blue Map and I are eager to talk about all the matches and reveals and....nah, we're too hyped over Dragon Ball Fighterz. Seriously though, we're also hyped about Kingdom Hearts III and the knowledge that videogames have finally, definitively reached the visuals of Toy Story.....1. Also I pad things with more Final Fantasy talk, while further shaking my head at the continued decisions made towards Sonic the Hedgehog.
