That's right everybody, I was a guest in another cool podcast. This one on Otaku In Review with Scott Spaziani, Jon Ingoglia, and Tim Maughan. The subject of course reviewing the anime of 2009. A bunch of new series came up this year and if you are a fan of Moe, it was definitely your year.
Sadly for me it was a busy year due to my anime figure business on the grow and my efforts to shield myself from the sh*%-storm known as the US Economy so oddly enough...my anime business (as well as a needed stay in the p/t job -_-) kept my anime viewing to a minimum I have been watching the newer box sets of Yu Yu Hagasho and the recently released box sets of Romeo X Juliet..of which I mention in the podcast. Sadly, though Romeo X Juliet's box sets got released here just in 2009...it wasn't exactly considered 2009 anime ^^;; A great list to check out would be on Jon's http://janaiblog.wordpress.com/. Series for this year included To Love Ru, Sora no Otoshimono,Valkyria Chronicles, K-On, Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo (Sora Kake Girl) and Chi's New Address...just to name a few.
Here's part 2 of the Podcast from anime3000.com that I got a chance to star in. As I post, E3 is going on and many new things have been announced and shown off. Here's a list of some items from the current E3:
Project Natal by Microsoft which is the X-Box's answer to the Wii's motion sensor
PSP GO, the hacked down PSP in which we all spoke about in the podcast, a few days before it was officially released
The PS3 Motion sensor
FFXIII demoed on the Xbox 360, with a spring 2010 expect release date
Wii Fit Plus
New Mario games
...and much more, with more to come. Check out the work being done at E3 by Engadget
The subject of our little rant here is the future of video games. So, where do you all think it's going? Is there new stuff in E3 that you dread or love?
As per the last podcast post, here's who's staring in the post:
You hear some of me but good God I need to stop mumbling. I think I was waiting for everyone to jump in mid comment ^^;; Trust me, I don't normally mumble like that. Check out the podcast here.
I finally got something to add to the podcast section of this site. As of a few days ago, I was asked to be part of a podcast with anime3000.com. Big thanks to Sean Russell for asking me to drop by. This is actually part of two podcasts, both pertaining to the history of video games and where we feel its heading to. The first pod cast shown here is a look back at the different generations of game consoles and of course we talked about what the game companies did well...and not so well. The rest of our recording, to be up some time soon, is essentially the second half of our 2 hour cast and is mainly us ranting on what is to come with gaming and more ranting as well. So now you all can hear what I sound like...which is either good or bad ^^;; On the panel was:
