OSMcast! & The Carbuncle Chronicle

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! _

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@gmail DOT com), comment, voice mail, let us know you exist, the usual. Metal Gear!!!

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@gmail DOT com), or throw down a voice mail our way! inubito on aim: holy shit 52:07. lolBasil on aim: NICE!inubito on aim: wrdBasil on aim: that’s just how we roll. lolinubito on aim: True that.

Tonight on the slightly delayed OSMcast_!_ we talk about Baccano! And it’s many, _many _crazy characters. OSMnotes We also talk about Tokyopop’s current reshuffling as well as Rock Band’s attempt at taking over Japan. But it’s mostly about Baccano(!). And also beer. But really Baccano(!). In other news, we now have Promos! Check the sidebar to your right and check’em out! Trivia: This is now our longest podcast! ZOMG.

In this episode of the OSMcast_!_ we plunge into the depths of the Cosmic Tribe Tarot set and explore the ruins of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. OSMnotes Seriously guys, that tarot deck is pretty terrible. But don’t take my word for it! Check it out for yourself with this handy-dandy so very Not Work Safe link that shows the entire deck. And where you can order it from, if you know, naked dirty hippies are your thing. They say they’ve sold over 15,000 of them, so I’m guessing they can’t all be horrible accidents like our experience was. So yeah Stevee we bought your deck, and we came away unimpressed. Oh, and that Indiana Jones flick. It was so totally a movie. Yeah. And as always please comment, email us, let us know you exist. I know someone out there is downloading this stuff… somewhere!

THIS IS THE MOST METAL OMSCAST EVER THIS IS METAL EVERYTHING WE DO WILL NOW BE METALOSMnotesThe World of OSM games we talked about were Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes, Lost Winds, On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One, and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. The anime is Soul Eater, based on a manga by Atsushi Ohkubo and animated by BONES.Sorry about the lack of Narnia once again, but we’ll make it up to you! But really guys, it is like “ Spinal Tap meets Scooby-Doo meets Norway.” Until next time awesome believers!

Tonight on the OSMcast! we go go go after the latest movie adaptation by The Wachowski Siblings, the Tatsunoko Production's classic anime hit Speed Racer.OSMnotesAlso in case you hadn’t notice, Inubito thought the remix of the Speed Racer theme was so awesome, he included all of it. Be forewarned! Or not! However this does end creating our longest podcast ever _ . But anyway, seriously guys, there were parts of this movie that were _more awesome than Iron Man. Really. Not kidding! Though I _guess overall Iron Man is the better movie, it’s already made tons of money so go spend it on Speed Racer instead!Next week we’ll hopefully if schedules allow be covering the new Narnia film, and possibly something else a little more… metal. Till then! Email us at [email protected], or just throw us some comments at the bottom of this post.If you want more info on Mach Go Go Go / _ Speed Racer, check out these articles from scifijapan.com. It’s got some really cool stuff inside!

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.OSMnotesWe 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! The gang’s all here as we talk about the 2004 OAV Re: Cutie Honey! And also, a little bit of Rock Band.OSMnotesIf you’d like more info on Re:Cutie Honey, there’s always the ANN Page, as well as the Gainax Page’s, um, page. More importantly, you should also check out the live action movie it was paired with.As always, please let us know what you think! We have the comments section below, our email is [email protected], and we even have a voice mail now at 206-426-5063.Next week the plan is to take a blast into the pretty recent past as we release our previously recorded podcast about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates! Then we’ll probably see about tackling Speed Racer.

Tonight on the OSMcast! nerds go out to movies as we talk about the new Marvel Studios movie, Iron Man.OSMnotesIt’s Nerd Movie Box Office Domination Month here at the OSM Central! What this means is that during the month of May, we’ll be doing our best to bring you two podcasts a week this month: The normal one on Friday, and these special ones based on the “nerd” movies we’ll be seeing this month. In case you haven’t noticed, tonight’s was Iron Man. Next week is Speed Racer, then the latest Narnia flick Prince Caspian, and we’ll bring it home with Indy IV.So hope you guys enjoy and we’ll be back tomorrow with 2004 OAV Re: Cutie Honey!

Tonight on the OSMcast!, Basil and buds reminisce about their previous Saturday, at the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention. It was the eighth one, so they called it MTAC Infinity.OSM notesYeah, it was a pretty swell con. The Cosplay Picture Gallery Thing we promised can be found by clicking these words! Definite shout outs go to froggyfluf who we thought was cosplaying Simca, but as it turns out it was another Air Gear character named Kururu. Whoops! The pink hair totally threw us off. As it turns out she’s also a pretty great artist so you should check out her stuff. Another deviant-artist we met was a photographer who took a lot of really sweet pictures.Of course we can’t forget CSHC and Random, who put on hella osm shows that night!The two martial artist performances were done by Shaolin Concepts and Capoeira Angola Palmares-Nashville.And as always, we want to hear from you folks! Send us an email ([email protected]) or post in the comments! Also we have a Live Journal Community you can join if you feel so inclined.

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!OSMnotesAgain, we’d love to hear your comments, suggestions, and other feedback! Juts post down in the comments, or throw us an email at [email protected]. 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.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, our first podcast. Recorded on 3-08-2008, this is a podcast about music games, particularly Rock Band.OSMnotesOther games we talked about in this podcast are:AudiosurfBattle of the BandsDisney’s Ultimate BandPataponAll Star Cheer SquadSome of these games are actually good. Some… probably not so much. If you want to know, listen to us talk like utter dorks! Now as this our first ever release, we know that we’ve still got our work cut out for us. But even so, let us know what you think! If you have any ideas or suggestions, let us know! We want this podcast to be as awesome as the name. Just throw us an email at [email protected]!As you can tell by the date of when we said this was recorded and when it was posted, there’s been a bit of a time skip. We’ve been experiencing some various technical difficulties (illness, computers dying, WoW, Persona 3, among others) so we actually have several podcasts recorded. Hopefully though now that our wonderful and most favorite beatsmith and premo-producer DJ Inubito now has his amazing new computer, we’ll be able to push more of these out the door.And perhaps even I dunno, eventually start getting some podcasts out in a timely matter. Crazy, I know!
