The Pod-Cast

On WASD this week, Zachary and Cameron invite fellow Whales and Whales network member Tzuf onto to the show to discuss why Souls games appeal to many people, and how so many games take the formula, but mix it up to better or worse effects. Cameron goes on and on about how Batman: Arkham Knight is literally exactly like the other two games, except there is a Batmobile, Zach and Tzuf talk about RPGs a lot, and at the very end, we discuss... the age of the members of the network? That doesn't involve video games, and we're quite sorry.  Edited by Cameron (and he's sorry for the... "music")

Today the podcasters are faced with a new challenge—end on time, or DIE.

No, really.

In this week’s episode Bryan is too busy, Cameron berates defenseless high schoolers, Abigail fights against grammar illiteracy, and Tzuf stays up until 4am to talk about dragon balls.

Hey folks, there's no new episode this week, and there's a very good reason for that. The Whales are Whales crew thought the best way to celebrate Memorial Day weekend would be for us to all go to Japan. How exciting! While we were there, I ran into Miss Anime and had the exciting opportunity to conduct an on the spot interview. She had a lot of great things to say, and even gave one of her trademark greetings to all her overseas fans. I hope you like it!  We'll be back next week with a proper episode. See ya then! Interview conducted by Zachary. Edited by Zachary. Thanks again to Miss Anime for taking time out of her busy schedule to speak with us.  

Have you ever wanted an extensive list of everything Abigail ate over the course of a week? Perhaps there's been a burning drive to learn the exact heights of three random people you've probably never met? OR MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. You have spent many a sleepless night wondering why Kentucky bluegrass is called bluegrass. If so wow congratulations this episode is freakishly tailored for you. Edited by Bryan. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music from Incompetech.

Bryan, Abigail, and Abigail’s sister, Ariel, come to you from a small room in a small house in the small town in the small…ish state of Florida. Gathering in-person (for once) and recording on a not-so-great built-in laptop mic, these three chums talk about wanting more money, try to read Stephen’s mind, and advising Ariel not to get into anime.

On this week's WASD, Stephen shows up to talk about a pretty little game called Rakuen. As for the usual panelists, Cameron wants to know if Heroes is bad for his health, and Zachary is playing things that aren't JRPGs. It all culminates in a big quiz fight between Cameron and Stephen over who knows their video game bosses best.  Editor's Note: There is no background music this week because I'm insanely busy reviewing two big JRPGs for HonestGamers (shameless plug) and I'm way behind thanks to a bunch of stuff all happening at once. It's no excuse, but I still want to apologize!  Edited by Zachary. 

It is currently almost 3 in the morning, Pacific Time, and I'm not crazy in the mood to figure out how to write a witty and interesting description to this episode of the Pod-Cast, so instead, here's a factual, informative list of some of the things we talked about: liars  1. Abigail hates Blink 182. 2. Ben's fridge is broken, and can't eat various processed meats.  3. Bryan hates dogs. 4. Cameron is a bad actor. 5. Stephen is over-the-moon upset about the disappearance of the pig emotie in Skype. Nothing in the show notes, because frankly it's a joke that's too good to not keep up with.  Edited by Cameron. Our theme music is The Olive Gang by coda. All other music from Incompetech.

On this week's episode of WASD, Cameron has been playing Heroes of the Storm because the feng shui of his house isn't conditioned towards Persona 5 yet. In other news, Zachary is reviewing an obscure Vita JRPG called The Caligula Effect that he wishes everybody played, but knows they won't. Also, Fallout 4 is all kinds of garbage - that's something we can all agree on.   Music this week:  Heroes of the Storm - Smugglers Cove (The Lost Vikings 2) The Caligula Effect - Sadistic Queen (Instrumental) Edited by Zachary.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is already so a movie so we aren't allowed to make that the episode title but that's a real shame because it's very accurate. Dani, wife of our very own Benjamin, drops by to visit for a round of Questions, Questions, Questions: Making Dani Feel Welcome (hug). Does it work? YOU DECIDE. (Actually Dani probably decides because she's a free-thinking individual.) The proper Skype hug:    Dani's lovely wine: http://liquorliquidators.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/391x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/r/i/risatamda750.jpg I'm 3. I know everything.

In this very first episode of WASD, Zachary and Cameron bring to you a bonus slice of video game discussion that just isn't fit for the pod-cast. Enjoy their talk of Persona, Yooka-Laylee, and that's about it. Seriously, they talk about those two games for an hour because the DVCast has returned from the grave. I promise it will be better next time!  Edited by Zachary.
