Voip Life 6: You Will See The Ocarina Of Time

Gather round all ye for the enjoyment of yet another Voip Life. Today is a very video game heavy episode as we talk a little about the games that are coming out this year and how much we are extremely not going to play them. Also: the sheer sexual energy of acoustic covers of anime themes. 

Make sure to prepare yourself before clicking play.

The Great Gundam Project 47: Gundam ZZ 01, 02 & 03

A war ends and a new vision of Gundam begins! Join us as we wind down one conflict only to immediately be thrown into a new one as the Argama is on the run and on the mend and we ask ourselves, again, "Isn't it nostalgic?" Let's hope we end up better than the last person who asked such a thing. The Great Gundam Project falls from the stars to settle into the dirt of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and we se...

The Patreon Letter - 28th July, 2018

Hi everyone! Em here with another letter for you all. If you listen to The Great Gundam Project (and you should, it's totally there for you if you subscribe to this!) you'll know we recently finished Zeta Gundam, the second in our long loooong line of shows. It was really good! In fact, some (me, not Jackson) might say it's the best Gundam we have watched. Even Jackson would admit that we've come ...

The Great Gundam Project 46: Zeta Gundam 49 & 50

The battle rages for the final time as our eyes fill with the tears of time and all of our friends meet ends final and depressing. There is a light blinking on and off, far in the distance, but it is not our fate to reach that distant land here in the time of these people in this war. No, that answer will have to wait ... for next week.

We're joined by Andrew Lee Swan this week, who you can find...

Patreon Letter 21st July 2018

Hey everyone,  

Jackson here with another Patreon Letter! For it is the weekend, and it is time for Anime. I have recorded two anime podcasts today. I am writing this letter about anime. Anime threatens to overwhelm my life, and my soul.

So let’s get into it. Let’s talk about what we’re all here for. Let’s talk about mechs, the british empire, fascist collaboration and tables....

Voip Life 5 - We've Never Watched Anime

Voip Life is here and Em and Jackson are here to talk about Anime and try to rank their favourites, coming to an unsettling conclusion: they have never watched anime once in their lives.

The Great Gundam Project 45: Zeta Gundam 47 & 48

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else

But now through all the hurt and pain
Its time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything.

And so with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever

whats done is done, it feels so bad
what once w...

The Patreon Letter - 14th July, 2018

Octopath Traveler is out, which means the throwback RPG discourse cycle begins anew. I've been trying to stay out of it as much as possible, in part because I'm exhausted by it but also because I'm about to show you one surprising trick that can free you from the chains of its constant return forever. I wonder if you could guess what it is?

For everyone who said 'play actual old games instead' c...

The Great Gundam Project 44: Zeta Gundam 45 & 46

The board is set. Haman plays both sides as the Axis hammer falls. Jamitov and Scirocco both make a bid for her affections in these last hours of the Gryps conflict. Reccoa and Sarah both make their own bids for the affections of Paptimus Scirocco, no less valid for their insignificance. And somewhere, in all of this, is young Katz, determined to be the one boy in Gundam who succeeds in saving his...

The Patreon Letter - 08th July, 2018

Hey everyone, Jackson here to bring you The Patreon letter. It’s been, hoooo, it’s been a rough one this week so we’re getting a regular dose of introspection. Apologies for the sadness, it’s just where I’m at right now.

This week sucked. I could say it’s been a bad Mental Health week, and that would be true, but that feels like a clinical kind of understatement. It’s scary when th...

Voip Life 4: In Case of Emergency Break Glass

My friends, Voip Life is here! This week has been what can only be described as fucking terrible on my end, but I've been fighting through and here I bringing you Voip Life! We're not gonna miss a week. At least not this week. 

We talk about The Americans, we talk about Andrew William Killiamson, and we contemplate some future Abnormal Mapping plans. Life the life of Voip.

The Great Gundam Project 43: Zeta Gundam 43 & 44

Falling upwards is not only possible outside of Earth's gravity, it might as well be inevitable. Thus we should look at the peculiar journey of Jerid Messa, down to Earth and down a mountain only to rise as the attendant to Dracula Hymen himself, not as an extraordinary series of events but the unique but fated alignment of planets, sliding as they do through time and space.

Episode 43: Haman Ka...

The Patreon Letter - 30th June, 2018

Hello friends, it's time for another letter. The doldrums of summer are throwing me into a deep emotional and mental malaise. I'm deeply unsuited to the hot weather and the promise of years to come with winter becoming more of a technicality than a season has me in a way. Will I ever be cold again? This is the thought I cannot let go of when summer feels like an actual furnace. I just want to hunk...

The Great Gundam Project 42: Zeta Gundam 41 & 42

Echoes upon echoes, tragedies upon tragedies, binding all of Gundam's souls together until they collide. Seven thousand doomed newtype girls, reaching for the next stage of humanity before exploding in brilliant blue and with their last moments crying out together and asking one stark and simple question: Where's Jerid?

Episode 42: The Beginning Of The Next Tragedy

Patreon Letter - 25th June 2018

Hey everyone, it's Jackson here with another Patreon Letter. Sorry for the little delay, we had three podcasts to record on Sunday! Thought it better to take the time with the letter after that was done, rather than kill myself on Saturday trying to get everything done. Anyway, I'm here now, and it is time to talk to you all about what really matters: it's time to talk about Tennis.

Voip Life 03: They Get The Job Done

Voip Life returns as Jackson heads out to the theatre to talk about the titanic level of dissonance and weirdness that comes from watching Hamilton in London in 2018. Also Em tries and fails to understand Andrew WK, but who among us does? 

Yes, they talk about Star Wars again too.

The Great Gundam Project 41: Zeta Gundam 39 & 40

The pendulum of the earth sphere swings unimpeded. One week we lament the doom of women, the next it is fascinating. One week the politics of burgeoning spacenoids fills our dreams with revolutionary fire, the next it turns to ash in our mouths as we wonder what exactly we're fighting for. There can be no agreement, there can be no peace, there can only be the endless eddies of struggle and collap...

The Patreon Letter - 17th June, 2018

Hi everyone, Em here a day late for the letter. Sorry for the delay. E3 week and general malaise really ruined my scheduling this week, beyond what I would have assumed. 

I've been playing a lot of The Binding of Isaac lately, despite myself. It's the closest I've ever come to a forever game, that mythical idea that if a game has enough content and appeals to you enough you'll never have to...

The Great Gundam Project 40: Zeta Gundam 37 & 38

This week on The Great Gundam Project, we are gathered here to answer one question: how can Jerid fuck up harder than getting tossed off Mt Kilimanjaro? Surely such a thing is impossible. My friends, we should never have doubted our boy.

Episode 40: Jerid Lost The War

Patreon Letter - 12th June, 2018

Hey everyone, it’s Jackson here with this week’s patreon letter. Well, last week’s, if we’re being technical. But it’s E3 season and that meant that nobody was going to read a damn thing until the conferences are over. So I thought I’d wait til today to put up the letter, which very helpfully also gave me something to write about. So let’s do it. Let’s talk about E3.

I watch E3 e...

Voip Life 02: Ten Year Coma

Friends! The second episode of Voip Life is here, we hang out for our first conversation all week to discuss such important things as The Thrawn Trilogy and Interplanetary Death Tolls. We don't have a topic, it's the laid back and chill hang-out show we promised and it turned out pretty good! 

That said, this show has no topic which means that if you want to email us  literall...

The Great Gundam Project 39: Zeta Gundam 35 & 36

A return to earth. A return to love. A return to Amuro. We find ourselves again in the trap of Earth's gravity this week as the pressure of the planet sets off a powder keg. There's so much ready to E X P L O D E.

Episode 39: An Award Winning Throw
