    Couldn't you just torrent the 1080p Utena remaster instead of ripping?

    Haven't listened to the episode yet, so I'm not sure if they addressed this or not, but I think I remember them saying they don't like the way the remasters look. Which is just silly, but they're entitled to their opinion.

    I have seasons 1-3 on my hard drive, torrented ages ago. Just haven't gotten to watching it yet.

    Good episode, the inspiration is upon me, going to marathon S1 right n.. . .. .

    It took me a long time to realise this was an actual thing. For the longest time I genuinely thought it was a meme of convincing someone that a show exisited when it didn't really.

    Hmmm £20 for season 1 on iTunes. Standard definition... Seemingly no other legal option watch it. I might just hold off until after I've heard this episode.

    I saw Rym favorite this song and was like "Huh, I wonder when that comes up." The next episode I watched was What Was Missing.

    Awesome episode (one of my favorites), but I think I must have missed the brooding resentment between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline. They've been in the same room, what, a handful of times? The drama came out of left field for me, but was entertaining drama anyway.

    Did anyone else see that coming, and I'm just oblivious?

    Also, Cinnamon bun isn't just dumb, he's brain damaged. Early in the first season he falls and hits his head and his speech and overall character changes to that of someone with serious brain damage.

    Adventure time interview from the NYCC that a friend of mine did, take a look if you want to know how they create the show.

    The Game has one of the best soundtracks ever, the main title screen and Marceline's boss fight being my favorites.

    Is that game actually good, or just generic with Adventure Time license?
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    I loved it, it's Zelda with amazing writing and a great soundtrack. It's a bit on the short side though, iirc.
  • SailSail
    It's a legit game and the writing is spot-on. They worked very closely with Pen Ward to make sure they got it right. It's made by WayForward(who did the Switchforce games and is doing the Ducktails remake) and it's basically the spiritual successor to Zelda II.

    What is the difference between the DS and 3DS versions?
  • La Petit MortLa Petit Mort
    Mostly that the 3DS version has higher quality music, wider aspect ratio and brighter colors. There's also the 3DS only easter egg(s).

    Archer is all about the stylized banter to me as well; what I tend to find lacking is any characters I can connect to emotionally and any attempt to ever tell a serious story or parody anything more substantial than Sealab. I've still watched every episode for the banter, but I tend to marathon them in chunks with a few friends.

    I also think Bob's Burgers does that kind of thing well, particularly between the kids, but it has a bit of heart in its stories. It's also got lots of weird characters who aren't too dumb to live or "wacky," and it builds out its town with a strong supporting cast. You all should check that one out; it's not for nothing that a) it was the only Fox show to gain ratings last year and b) AV Club is calling it the most enjoyable show running right now. As with most western comedies, it seems, the first season is kind of rough. Heck, start with S3. "Boyz 4 Now" is up on Hulu and was a great recent episode.

    Venture Brothers has repeatedly failed to click for me despite so many trusted people telling me about it. I love Brock but nothing else. I'm going to try skipping to S2.

    I've played a bit of the Adventure time Game for DS. Its definitely Zelda II. I'm sure the 3DS version is better, but playing the DS version it didn't feel like a shitty backwards port or anything if you just want to buy/pirate it right now, for those without 3DS's.
  • ApsupApsup
    Listened the episode and decided that it's time for me to continue watching Adventure Time.
    Downloaded the first season and now I'll try to find the episode where I was left when I last watched the show. And rewatching some episodes in the process.

    I'd just like to point out to Scott that Dr. Princess isn't a princess (that's just her surname) so you can't date her.

    Pretty sure the reason I can't date her is because she is a fictional character.

    She might not be a princess, but she is a Princess.

    I always figured this is a show I'd like but I just end up putting off watching it. Started watching the first season last night on Netflix and I'm really digging it. My only criticism is I don't really understand why they change up his exclamations so much but that's just sort of nitpicking.

    Technology will fix that someday.

    Soon Scott, soon.

    I like how there's one episode where the message is that violence is the answer and to not be a pussy.

    Just listened to this, and aside from reaffiing to myself that I need to press further into season 1, I was left with one main question: why was the podcast stinger music the Fushigi Yuugi theme?
  • RymRym
    I randomly choose stingers based on random urges.
  • ErynEryn
    Fair enough.

    I thought the Fushigi Yuugi theme was due to the whole talking about season/series ending cliffhanger stuff you mentioned during the show and that you were confusing FY with Escaflowne for some reason as FY was way worse about the whole cliffhanger than than Escaflowne was, IMHO.
