Voip Life 38: Thumper?

Voip Life 38: Thumper?

After releasing the last episode early it feels like it has been six thousand years since a Voip Life, and we are here today with an appropriately bumper episode, as we take a look at Paste's Top 100 Games of the Decade.

This episode is going up for $5, as Em is taking a week off the Letters. I'm not, mine is just Late. Such is the way. It...

The Great Gundam Project 111: Victory Gundam 50 & 51

We've done it, 111 episodes in and we have reached the finale of Tomino's UC. No jokes, no bits, it's been a long road and I feel legitimately emotional. These shows have changed us about as much as you can expect a television show to do so, and they've done it by making us both overwhelmed and mad online in equal measure. With that in mind, we ...

For the penultimate episode of our Victory Gundam podcasts we are joined once more by Austin Walker, as we put off discussing Gundam for as long as possible to talk about a different mech show that we all watched and had some Takes on. Then Victory, at this final hour, brin...

The Great Gundam Project 109: Victory Gundam 46 & 47

We're three from the end here at GGP headquarters, as we say goodbye to Macross until a future Beach House, and have a little discussion about the ups and downs of Tomino's choice to focus his righteous anger in Victory Gundam at liberal feminsm, in a franchise that has never been that great about women. A lot to think about, a lot to mull over,...

Patreon Letter: 7th October 2019

Hey folks,

Jackson here with the Patreon letter! As you can see from the image, I watched Grave of the Fireflies and, well, the letter was meant to be up yesterday but it was clear no work was getting done after finishing that movie. But I've slept on it, I feel better now, and I'm going to talk a little about my reaction to the movie.

Voip Life 37: Forever Benjamin

Hello my friends, on this day I have a gift for you and that gift is an Early Voip Life. We have absolutely nothing to talk about and yet it leads into one of the rowdiest and funniest recording sessions I've ever had. I had a good time and I hope you do too!

The Great Gundam Project 108: Victory Gundam 44 & 45

We're in the final stretch. Four episodes until we say goodbye to Tomino and enter the world of Normal Anime. But before we go, even at this late hour, we still have time for a classic Episodic Gundam Tragedy, and a clip-heavy show to save the animation budget.

Patreon Letter: 22nd September 2019

Hi folks, 

Jackson here with another Patreon Letter, and today we're gonna be talking about the man himself, Hideo Kojima, because he's been On One this month with the promotion of Death Stranding and has left a whole bunch of discourse in his wake. And I just want to talk a little bit about that. So let's dive into the mess.

Hi everyone, Em here with the latest greatest Patreon letter. I'm saying this to get myself pumped up more than get you hyped, because to be honest energy is pretty low on this side of Abnormal Mapping HQ lately and I've been struggling with writing way more than usual. So thank you for bearing with me, and us, as we continue to try our best.&nb...

It's two very, very good episodes of Victory this week, as well as the final episodes of Super Dimension Fortress Macross!! It's an eventful week, here on your...

Patreon Letter: 21st August 2019

Hey, Jackson here, with a Patreon Letter, continuing to chip away at my backlog. The last few weeks, with my sister's wedding and the many podcasts have left very little time for Letter Writing, so the backlog continues to grow. But I've watched a couple movies and I'm going to write about them right now!!
