OSMcast: Wild Zero 8-25-2008

We aren’t dead yet! In this triumphant return to the OSMcast Basil, Eric, and newcomer Lee tackle Tetsuro Takeuchi and Guitar Wolf’s wild and crazy “Jet rock ‘n’ roll”/zombie horror/comedy/cult classic/movie thing, Wild Zero! And succeed with marginal success! WARNING: Guitar Wolf’s music can be really loud.

OSMnotes

We actually recorded this a week or two ago, so the World of OSM news is kinda old, but it’s all still vitally important, at least as far you should go buy Bangai-O Spirits RIGHT NOW.

What’s actually important is that we’re back and we’ll be now updating on Mondays, not Fridays. And we should have it set for next Monday as well, where Lee and I talk about Cromartie High School.

Be prepared!

OSMcast: The Dark Knight 8-01-2008

We’re rollin’ into the month of August with Christopher Nolan’s latest take on the Batman, The Dark Knight. And more!

OSMnotes

First off, you can now see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog once more without buying it off iTunes! You just have to deal the occasional commercial. You know, like regular TV.

And you should go buy some Freakazoid RIGHT NOW.

Really this is the best week for super heroes and super villains ever.

OSMcast: Mushishi 7-25-2008

Mushishi, by Yuki Urushibara is the topic of tonight’s OSMcast! And it’s definitely awesome. But don’t take our word for it! … Well, actually do take our word for it, but listen to us talk about why first!

OSMnotes

Really you should go buy a copy of Mushishi in one form or another right now. Though you’ll probably have to special order it. But that’s okay because this manga and anime is pretty special.

In that good way, not that short bus special or anything.

So go get it.

Like, now.

Go!

OSMcast: Catchin’ up on the World of OSM 7-18-2008

Okay so for the past two weeks we’ve skipped out on the World of OSM… And it kind of built to a great big pile of stuff that needed to be caught up to. So here it is!

OSMnotes

So we talked about this stuff (more or less):

  • Chrono Trigger DS!
  • Slayers Revolution!
  • Rock Band 2
  • DCvsMK fatality correction
  • FF13 on Xbox 360!!
  • OMG SQEENIX YOU COMMIT SUDOKU!!!11!
  • Xbox Live + Netflix = Win! (However it was later clarified that everyone has to have a Netflix account to watch the movies. Still awesome though!)
  • Mii Avatars! And other Xbox 360 stuff. Microsoft made a pretty good press conference. However…
  • Nobody is interested in Animal Crossing: City Folk. And by that I mean the person we know as Nobody.
  • Wii Sports Resort is pretty cool we guess.
  • Wii Music makes my soul sad.
  • So much. My heart: broken.
  • So sad.
  • Sony’s conference was pretty meh for us as well. But uh… 256!!! I guess.
  • That game was called MAG (Massive Action Game). But we really don’t care.
  • Really Penny Arcade got it right.
  • Song Summoner for iPod
  • Anime Expo! Maybe they did well attendee-wise? Who knows!
  • Persona 4! In the US! December 9th! This year! YAY!
  • Hayate the Combat Bulter via Bandai Entertainment
  • The Girl Who Leapt through Time manga based on the film, actually via Bandai and not CMX like I said! (CMX released a different adaptation of The Girl Who Leapt through Time.)
  • Funimation now RULES THE WORLD! Ouran High School Host Club and 30 titles that was once held by ADV.
  • Kodansha is setting up a U.S. subsidiary to publish their own manga starting in September. Good, bad, or awesome? Guess we’ll find out!

Yeah, it was a lot of stuff.

OSMcast: Metal Gear Solid 4 7-11-2008

And we’re back! This week DJ Inubito and Basil talk about Nerdapalooza 2008 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

OSMnotes

So it sounds like Nerdapalooza 2008 was pretty bad ass! If you want to check out CSHC with our man DJ Inubito on the plates, check out their YouTube page.

And like we said, MGS4 is gosh darn awesome. And you do end up feeling pretty bad for Old Snake sometimes, when they make fun of him for being old and his Psych meter goes down in the saddest noise possible.

No OSMcast this week :(

Due a few factors (OSM Central coming down with illness and our resident DJ off being a nerdcore superstar), we weren’t able to get a podcast together this week. However AWO actually updated this week, so go listen to them instead this time.

Just come back here next week too. There’s a lot to catch up in the World of Awesome so I’m sure that it’ll be  a lengthy one to make up for this dire lack of OSMcast!

OSMcast: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Ep. #1 6-27-2008

So how about that “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness” stuff eh guys and gals?

Pretty good stuff! You should totally buy it. Or at least try the demo. You could also go buy Commando 3 on the XBLA while you’re at it so you can try the new SFII: HD Remix beta going on. Or Space Invaders Extreme!
I still cannot beat Level 4, but one day… ONE DAY!!!

I will triumph!

OSMcast: Kekkaishi 6-20-2008

In this episode we decided that box anime is cool. And by “box anime” we mean, “Kekkaishi.” Also, ice cream.

OSMnotes

Okay so admittedly I just beat MGS4, so at the moment I’m busy going “OMG MGS4 MGS4!!!!” therefore actual show notes aren’t exactly on my mind. Though I am sad to find out the Wal-Mart sale is apparently already over so… oops. Hopefully those of you out there will have already realized this deal and have bought one!

The rest of you should follow my lead and steal I mean borrow them from all your friends that just obtained those PS3s and play Metal Gear Solid 4 on them. I want to say that this new Metal Gear is good enough that you’ll want to buy a PS3 anyway, but I know that’s just the MGS fanboy in me and that overall the 360 is still
the better gaming system.

… Maybe.

Kekkaishi is also an awesome show and an even more awesome manga. You should go buy all of the manga now. They have 14 volumes so far out so you have plenty to catch up on!

Oh and email us (osmcast@gmailDOTcom), comment, voice mail, let us know you exist, the usual.

Metal Gear!!!

OSMcast: GTA IV 6-13-2008

Are you read for some unbridled passion as two souls burn brightly about Grand Theft Auto the Fourth? Well too bad we’ve already recorded it!

OSMnotes

Though to be fair, we ended up playing Street Fighter III: Third Strike afterwards instead. Will there be another Inubito/Basil podcast about the upcoming Street Fighter TV once it releases? Oh yes. And who knows… since we only scratched the surface that is GTA IV, there may be another about GTA IV in the far flung future. For example if you wanted an in depth discussion on how Niko’s journey into America as an immigrant was portrayed in the game compared to how it is seen and actually is in America, well… We could do that.

Or we could talk about playing darts and going to strip clubs in the game. Whatever floats your boat.

And as always tell us about these things and your opinions in the comments section, send us an email (osmcast@gmailDOTcom), or throw down a voice mail our way!

inubito on aim: holy shit 52:07. lol
Basil on aim: NICE!
inubito on aim: wrd
Basil on aim: that’s just how we roll. lol
inubito on aim: True that.
