Up a Paddle - Episode 56 - Yeah, I'm Kinda Evil

In this episode I do a rundown of E3 and talk about videogames and such.  Also, I talk about certain tendancies of mine. Evilish tendancies.

Eeeper's comment on Episode 55.  About the evil.

Well, you want evil, you got it, albeit in the form of random slightly disturbing videos.  So, in no particular order:

Pom Poko.  "Mommy, why isn't that raccoon wearing any pants?"  


  
Disney stuff is the best. Speaking of Disney stuff:
Walt Disney's The Menstruation Story

Worms in a guy's stomach - WARNING - Video is exactly what I said.  People with weaker temperaments beware.
The green stuff in his stomach is a nice touch.

And, because Wii Fit Girlfriend got you all hot and bothered, here's the sequel:
Wii Fit Boyfriend

Putting this video on hulu.com after I downloaded on iTunes, now that's evil.  Well played, Whedon.

Random Fact
Surgeons who grew up playing video games make 37 percent fewer mistakes

E3
In this segment I give a rundown of of the E3 conferences.  Fortunately, Penny Arcade has already done a much better job of this.  Check out this comic for more details.

Here's the wikipedia article on the spanking machine I mentioned.  I did not realize how depraved the thing was until I learned it also has a kancho mode.  For more information on kanchos, go to Gaijin Smash, a blog written by an American that taught English in Japan.  There's some pretty wild stories in there.

Back to my show, I also go on a bit of a rant (I know, I never rant, but I guess there's a first time for everything) about why E3 is a flawed concept.

Random Fact
Mario was named after Mario Segale, the landlord of Nintendo of Americaâs office, who barged in on a company meeting demanding an overdue rent.

Bragging Rights
I bought a PS3.  Booyah!  It was consumer whorism at its finest.  If you are looking for sweet video game deals (and in Canada), check out the Redflagdeals.ca.  Also, check out CheapAssGamer.com.

Up a Paddle - Episode 55 - Scary Tales

In this episode I go over the announcements at Anime Expo, discuss the relative hotness of Disney Princesses, and play a segment recorded back on Easter.  I also review Enchanted and Monster, because this is the Monster/Fairy Tales episodes.

Here's the time codes if you want to skip ahead.  I know I would:

0:00 Intro
0:35 The News
American Death Note Movie In Development. 
It will be interesting to see how this turns out.  Will it end up crap like other crappy J-Horror to American Horror movies?  We'll have to wait and see.

More rumblings about Arrested Development movie.
We need an Arrested Development movie.  Come on! 

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time: The Movie: The Game
There are layers upon layers here I can't even begin to comprehend.

Capcom vs Tatsunoko
This looks like it will be an awesome game.  Heck, even Morrigan from Darkstalkers has updated graphics.  That hasn't happened for at least 13 years.  Also there's the Gold Lightan Love

Gold Lightan Rap link
So yeah, check out Anime 82.  I really need to watch me some Gold Lightan.

Sporn (NSFW)
This is why we can't have nice things, Internets.  Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Can you imagine what these deviants and onanists are cooking up next.  I shudder to think of it.

This monstrousity causes me to shudder as well:
Pedobear video

What has 4chan wrought?

Since that was disturbing, I thought I'd bring back teh actual sexy here with Wii Fit Girlfriend

It's almost hypnotic

Now, on to Anime News: 
Geneon is back ... Kind of
ADV is also getting titles distributed by Funimation
Funimation News

Funimation sure is making out like a bandit in all of this.  Must be all of that Fullmetal Alchemist and Dragon Ball Z money that they have lying around.

ADV News
I'm not dead yet!

Bandai Visual, now part of Bandai Entertainment
Bandai News
I was really hoping that Bandai would have learned from Bandai Visual's failed marketing tactics, but I guess they aren't going to.

Imaginasian News
On the other hand, this was a business model I wish would have worked.  Order a dvd and it's made for you. 

That's it for news

11:45 Email, Awesome
Just like the movies

First off I read an email from Maestro Davinci. 

I'm not sure but hoping this is the site you referred to in your email.  If not, please send in the right one.
http://www.moddb.com/

Judging by his email address, this is also a site he is affiliated with:
http://jp-studios.com

Here's the mod I mentioned

Super Smash Bros DS

Super Smash Bros Rumble in the Jungle

18:28 Promo - Dave and Joel's Fast Karate for the Gentlemen
http://daveandjoel.com

19:15 Little Brother Challenge
Admittedly, not the best challenge so far.  I should have sprung for the large eggs.

29:40 Disney Princess Poll.  It's coming down finally.  Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. 

35:49 Promoish sort of thing - I Luv the 80's.  And I do.  Hopefully after this, I'm not banned from listening to the podcast. 

38:13 Review - Enchanted

41:45 Review - Monster
ANN Entry for Monster

Watch this show, darn it!

Here's the show opening for Monster, so you can get an idea of the character designs:

Yeah, this episode kinda got away from me, in terms of quality and coherence, but at least it's over.  Until the next recording, anyway.   Bwuah ha ha!
