It's not Em this week. It's Jackson writing the description while they are unavaliable to put the episode up. However that meant I have no fuckin idea what happens in this episode, but all the environmental storytelling is telling me it's Not Good. Sometimes the tactics be like that.

Yeah. It's four and a half hours of Voip. Some say that's too much. I say that's too much. We have made a mistake. But please enjoy the episode nonetheless, if four and a half hours of voip is what you are looking for.

Sergei Smirnov is a hero of the people. He fights using teamwork and strategy and the lives of brave men. He does not cheat with his stupid fucking Gundam powers that automatically win everything, for no effort and with no concern for the people unlike some weak ass losers out there.

Thank you for your patience as I took last week off because AM kicked my ass. Wanted to make sure I got another one out for everyone, even if I'm still not feeling great. I apologize about it too much this episode, sorry for that also. We do manage to make some good progress though! Thanks everyone for your assistance, it really does make the game easier to approach.

It's so nice to be watching great anime. I'm sure the shine will wear off eventually but we have four excellent episodes today that we are beyond excited to talk about.

We manage two maps despite some technical difficulties, Ramza gets ready to really become a badass, and we discover the most terrifying possibility of all: having our own plans turned against us.

We talk about video games, the feeling that we'd like to podcast about movies again, artificial scarcity, and other things besides on this very representative voip life. Spoilers for Code Geass in the Code Geass section (22:40-25:33) and Fate Stay Night in the Fate Stay Night section (near t...

00 continues to put its best foot forward with two truly incredible episodes playing with Gundam's ideas and imagery in bold ways. Meanwhile Rose of Versailles is like the best looking anime of all time. Truly overflowing with riches.

A week off due to being sick and we're back at it to close out the first chapter. I flirt with save scumming because we get in a tricky spot but it turns out we didn't really need it, though truly I got lucky a time or two on this one. Good to be back! Apologies to Delita.

Three hundred episodes... is too many episodes! But here we are. At the SEED spin off ONA. The momentous occasion. Let's talk about science!

We have a real boom and bust mentality going into these maps, but we soldier on. Also, I'm pretty sure this is the episode where I got invested in the story, because I came away from this like 'damn, this game's all right.'
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and tips, as always! I THINK the next battle ends the chapter, so we're nearly as far as I've ever gotten (I think I briefl...

Jackson's playing Starfield and Em's playing Armored Core and we're here to talk about the weird feelings playing both have brought up for us. No spoilers, just vibes.
But mostly we're just talking about games. Also, a stray star trek update? Also, talking more shit about the PSP Street.

We have a bit of a false start but then manage to make some real appreciable progress this episode. Rip to the Thief, never quite good enough to make the cut when we can only bring four guys.
Thanks everyone for your support and advice, as always!

I'm joined by Luc today for the return of Bad Mecha Anime Hour. I (Jackson) will be doing some bonus extra free episodes without Em during the writers strike, while they are doing the FFT let's play at the $5/tier. Which means watching shit they would never touch in a thousand years. Like Valvrave The Liberator.
