The Patreon Letter - 30th January, 2019

Hi everyone, Em here again with another belated letter. Sorry this keeps happening, I was still recovering from the late letter last time and we've been really busy with 4-podcast weekends that really just kick the shit out of me energy wise. Trying to get back into the groove of high production with Star Trek around and all. Thank you for understanding.

I thought I was over Kingdom Heart...

The Great Gundam Project 73: SD Gundam MkIV and MkV

Week Three of the SD March continues as we finish our look at the random shorts! There's very little Gundam to dig into this week so we go heavy on talking about some other anime that we've watched.

The Patreon Letter - 13th January, 2019

Hey, this letter is like a week and a half late. I'm sorry about that. Sometimes the brains get bad and it becomes hard to do work and we're in the middle of a podcast crunch. Not that that excuses being so late, but I did want to offer it up as a way of explanation. Either way, a new letter from me will be up this coming weekend, as usual!

The Great Gundam Project 72: SD Gundam Counterattack and MkIII

Week two of our SD quest continues, and this might be the first time we talk for longer about our pre-gundam anime segment than about Gundam itself. But there is enough cute and good stuff in this week's allotment of shorts that we are still getting by. All aboard the SD Gundam Train!!

Hey everyone, it's Jackson here with the patreon letter! This is going to go over some ground that is being covered in podcasts we're doing because I haven't had time to do a single thing that wasn't for a show in the last few weeks. I'm exhausted! So this week I'm going to expand on a few thoughts in the shows, talk about what I've been doing lately, do some behind the sausage int...

We have cleared Char's Counterattack and now sail on into the our endless gundam future! The next five weeks we will be taking a tour through SD Gundam and watching Gundam's first real attempt to show us how it sees itself. Its fascinating!

Patreon Letter: 10th January 2019

Hi friends,

It's Jackson with the Patreon letter! It was Char's Counterattack Weekend and so things ended up being far busier than expected leaving me no time for the patreon letter. Which I thought was fine, I'll just take a few days to finish up Kingdom Hearts 2 and then write about that during the week. No biggy. But then Kingdom Hearts 2 decided it was the longest game ever made View Post

The Great Gundam Project 70: Char's Counterattack

After almost a year and a half, we have arrived at the first true finish line of our Gundam Journey, we have watched Char's Counterattack, and we have a three hour podcast for you to enjoy. Honestly, I think this is one of the best podcasts Em and I have ever done, so I really hope you enjoy it. We put a lot of work into it!

The Patreon Letter - 29th December, 2018

Hi everyone. It's the last patreon letter of 2018 and y'all got stuck with me, who woke up today very introspective as everyone and their dog is posting year in review stuff which is the prelude to new year's resolutions which is always a strange vision of a world where we collectively pretend to do better at once when doing better is, at best, a process from hell.

Hey Mister Tomino
Comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold
Finishing this show
Watching Haman Karn and Glemy

Oh I say it's tough
I have had enough
Can you stop Gundam ZZ

It could be alright
And just how you write

But I have to say
Why do this again?
When you made Gundam ZZ

Patreon Letter - 16th December, 2018

Boy I sure did just accidentally write 2019 in the header field, and my brain had a strange jolt as I thought about just skipping next year. Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

Smash Ultimate is out, and I've been playing way too much of it. I've always been on paper into smash, but I spent most of my time with the first two games back when I was a teen and could have friends over for long gam...

A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished.
For never was a story of more woe

Hi everyone! It's December now, finally, which means I'm in total clockout mode about this whole stupid year. We're done with Abnormal Mapping game clubs, I'm gathering up the last of the music for our end of year podcast, and am in a full list-making mood about the things I've seen/read/played this year. 

I really like best of lists, especially ones that are highly individualized. Not only...

But Dobby has come to protect Amuro Ray, to warn him, even if he does have to shut his ears in the oven door later… Amuro Ray must not go back to Space.”

No Gundam today folks, for it is Thanksgiving, and schedules are all kinds of fucked up.
