Podcast Episode #0148
Published by 05 October 2008, 8:52 PM EDTComment

Episode #0148 of the podcast is available for download! This was an interesting episode, because it was supposed to be about the upcoming live-action movie, and more specifically about the trailer(s) that leaked online earlier this month. However, it simply was not meant to be. Due to some slight incompetence on my end, and a little bit of Linux being a jerk, the entire topic-portion of the show is more or less a lost cause. Instead, what we have for you is the opening conversation, and then a story from Herms of Kanzentai about how he tried to sneak into the Jump Anime Tour to catch a showing of the new DBZ special! Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0148! VegettoEX, Meri, Julian, and even Jeff ATTEMPT to talk about the live-action movie and the recent trailers that have leaked online, but it was not meant to be. Is this a sign? An omen from the heavens? Who knows?! We stitch together the coherent beginning conversation, and even get an extra story from Herms about trying to sneak in to the Jump Anime Tour!

TeamFourStar Special Video
Published by 23 September 2008, 9:45 PM EDTComment

We have been back in town since Sunday evening, but I suppose you could say that we are still recovering from Anime Weekend Atlanta. We had a very nice time and got to meet a few new people, so all is well and great with the world.

But hey, a lot of you seem to be showing up thanks to the awesome video the guys over at TeamFourStar made for our panel at the convention. Welcome! There is a ton of stuff for you to check out on the website. Browse through all of the sections, but let me immediately point you over to our weekly podcast. We actually interviewed KaiserNeko and Lanipator back on Episode #0135, so that should be right up your alley. Big thanks to those guys for the amazing hard work and all the plugs!

Quick Impressions on New Video Games
Published by 14 September 2008, 5:40 PM EDTComment

Both “Dragon Ball: Origins” (known in Japan as “Dragon Ball DS”) and “Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World” were shown off at Atari’s recent press event / gamer’s day. You can read all about them over at places like Kotaku and IGN. The most important things to take away? “Infinite World” does indeed have a selectable Japanese voice cast, and the capsule system from previous “Budokai” games is back. Additionally, our buddy Dogasu has put up some thoughts on the Japanese “Dragon Ball DS” demo over on our forum.

In somewhat-related gaming news, Infogrames has entered into a partnership with Namco-Bandai, exclusively handling their distribution over in Europe. Infogrames is not stopping there, however, and expects to strike similar deals with other gaming companies, adding approximately €95 million in additional value to the company.

Episode #0146 of the podcast is available for download! We took a look through volume nineteen of the manga this week (that’s DBZ Volume 3 for all you Viz-reading folks). Goku is back, tons of people are dying, and the shizzle has hit the fizzle. In addition to the manga, we cover a good amount of news, Julian’s DBZ ABCs (learn all about the surname “Son” this episode!), September’s releases, and of course the wonderful e-mails you all send. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

Podcast Episode #0145
Published by 07 September 2008, 9:08 PM EDTComment

Episode #0145 of the podcast is available for download! We definitely made up for last week’s semi-short episode with this one. We brought on our good buddy Desire Campbell to talk about the concept of “canon” as it relates to the Dragon World. How do you actually define it, and what are the various ways you can potentially break it down, especially considering how massive of a franchise it is? We also go over some cute little video game news, Julian’s DBZ ABCs, and some great e-mails. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0145! VegettoEX, Meri, and Julian bring on our buddy Desire Campbell to talk about the idea of “canon” as it relates to the Dragon World. How do you even begin to explain the concept as a whole, and what types of breakdowns can we make? Video game and manga news, September’s releases, DBZ ABCs, and your great e-mails round out the episode.

“Dragon Ball DS” Demo on Japanese Nintendo Channel
Published by 04 September 2008, 7:08 AM EDTComment

The upcoming “Dragon Ball DS” (known outside Japan as “Dragon Ball: Origins”) had its demo hit the “Minna no Nintendo Channel”, but only in Japan. It sounds like it will only be available until the 17th (the game is due out on the 18th of this month in Japan), and there is no word on a possible release of the demo for any other market.

Also, the third TV spot for the game is available for viewing over on GameTrailers.com — absolutely beautiful.

Podcast Episode #0144
Published by 31 August 2008, 11:59 PM EDTComment

Episode #0144 of the podcast is available for download! As you’ll hear during the show, this is the episode that seemed to do everything it could to prevent itself from being recorded. While we unfortunately were unable to do a standard topic, Meri and I marched onwards with a good recap of all the recent news, all of September’s releases, and a nice little batch of e-mails. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Episode #0144! VegettoEX and Meri are plagued with recording problems all weekend, but somehow manage to pull something together! While there is no real topic to speak of, plenty of (good!) news rears its ugly head this week, and we check in with all of September’s releases and a bunch of your e-mails.
