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.

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 abut why first!

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 git it.

Like, now.

Go!

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!

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.

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

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.

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!
