OSMcast!

Because one game just wasn’t enough, we decided to tackle three Xbox Live Arcade games for this episode of the OSMast!: Castle Crashers, Bionic Commando, and Braid. Check it out!

That’s right, we’ll be at Anime Weekend Atlanta this weekend, so you should track us down and say hello!

Also, if you happened to head this direction by way of the AWO, hello and welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay. And I apologize about Indy IV. Really, I do. However I will defend the honor of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates to the uh, death. I guess.

See you folks at the con! Or not! (Then throw us an email!)

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.

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!

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!

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!

We’ve gone back in time to olden days of April for this OSMcast! where Basil and Nobody have a conversation about one of the longest named games on the DS: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates.

We also talk about games like FF7: Crisis Core and Lost Odyssey, though not for long. Friday we’ll be continuing our “Nerds Go Out to the Movies” escapades this month with our take on the new Speed Racer movie! Though here’s a hint: Basil liked it a whole lot, though Eric and Nobody liked it as well. Though not as much as me. I mean Basil.

Check back with us Friday! (Also email us, comment us, let us know you exist! Please?)

In this episode of the OSMcast! Basil and Eric discuss the wonders of Nintendo’s latest entry in their flighting/platforming/party game series, Super Smash Bros Brawl!

Again, we’d love to hear your comments, suggestions, and other feedback! Juts post down in the comments, or throw us an email at osmcast@KILLCAPSgmail.com. This Saturday the good DJ Inubito and Basil will be kicking it up over at MTAC. And while we doubt anyone from there has heard of us yet, we’re hoping that they check us out afterwards. If so, hello MTAC peoples! Hope y’all enjoy the podcast, and we should have another episode up soon! The goal is every Friday, but we’ll see what develops.
