Episode #0101 of the podcast is available for download! This episode, we discuss the greatest match-up and rivalry the series has ever known. It has years of histrionics and drama behind it, along with all sorts of members coming and going throughout the years. Still haven’t figured it out? Well, you’re clearly not reading, because this update’s header already says what it is. However, a funny picture will help drive the point home!

As you read below a few days ago, FUNimation has issued all sorts of legalese over to Atari demanding they cease distribution of DBZ games immediately. During the episode we read the actual SEC filing, discuss where the companies may be coming from, and try to determine where this situation is heading. Hopefully you fanboys waiting on the American release of Sparking! METEOR (being the Booty-Kye Ten-Kai-Chi Three) won’t be sitting all alone, cold, and with nothing to keep the PS2 from leaving you for good. Definitely check it out.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
