I would go FMA Brotherhood

Black Lagoon (has a top tier dub)

Or Jormungand which is also by the Black Lagoon people and is basically James Bond villain mashed with Metal Gear (hell the main character is a white haired child soldier from Africa) which I know Dan would love (also lot of cool people with guns)

All the people saying "life ain't fair" in this thread forfeit any right to complain about their work or their boss.

Responding to exploitation with "life's not fair, you asked for this, suck it up and deal" is some pathetic teenage nihilist shit. You and everyone who has ever screwed you over in your career has had that response. Do you really want to parrot the talking points that those people would throw in your face if you ever talked back or stood up for yourself if you were in the same situation as these workers? Grow up.

Way to pick the team that is in absolutely no way on your side, not ever, not even once.

This is the end result of decades upon decades of a smear campaign against unionization and labor; you are supposed to be just be a good little cog and do whatever you are told no matter how much you are being exploited so some rich jagoff can make a shitton of money for a bunch of stockholders who do no labor whatsoever.

I hope more and more game devs can sow the seeds for unionization, I hope that people can salt this industry and get rid of that individualistic scab mentality that infests the game dev/tech industry

Yeah I rarely watch the main roster shows at this point, actually now I'll watch SD since its gotten more bearable with Shane and Cass gone. But I get my 10$/month worth it with 205/NXT/Takeover/Specials even if I have to accept that this is a garbage company run by garbage people

This was a lot of fun and I really hope they do more things like this. Also I dig the fact that Dan was really interested in the Black lagoon clip. I posted it last year but I'll say it again, there is no world in which Dan wouldn't like a show about a lawless city filled with every criminal organization you could imagine playing out a violent ecology of eat or be eaten.

Its a great excuse to have Russian Maffias square off against Chinese Triad. An excuse to see para military forces fight serial killers. To see "Pirates"(the kind that steal) out maneuver Nazis.

It has subtle and not so subtle references to action movies from the 80's and 90's with "cool guys" and fierce women each savaging each other in dramatic ways and occasionally delivering one liners when the smoke clears. Hopefully Dan does get to see it, it's a genuinely great thrill ride of a show.

Then there is Jormungand which is basically Metal Gear the anime. (I mean hell it even has lil Raiden in it!)

The problem with Black Lagoon is that the last arc is kind of lame, but the OVA they released afterwards is awesome as hell

Glad that Dan is really into FMA Brotherhood and Black Lagoon (those shows would be good podcast material since they have really good dubs)

Disappointed at that Jojo clip, should have gone with ROAD ROLLER DA or Josuke punching the motorcycle, or Jotaro beating the shit out of Steely Dan. At least it would capture the spirit of JJBA. Though Jeff still dislikes the look so its moot

I'm surprised no one has brought up that we are getting Jojo's Pt 5 finally!

Can't wait for people to argue about how the hell a certain stand's powers work

Ghost of Tsushima looked very nice, especially the environments, but it has that inauthentic look that's very common whenever ppl try to do a culture/race that's not their's. I don't think they'll have Japanese voice, not in the Western releases at least. It doesn't feel Japanese at all, it feels totally Western.

Agreed. The characters speaking a somewhat Japanese-accented English really turned me off on that game. It does look beautiful, and the combat looks fun, but boy did that VA really sour my enthusiasm.

Apparently there is a Japanese localization for the Western release, man I remember when games used to have so many goddamn language options, for some reason I enjoyed playing Jak 2 in German

The reviews seem to say its shallow on the park management side, but fun in creating dinosaurs and letting them escape side of things, so yeah its basically an upscaled JPOG

Corey's problem is he thinks he is untouchable and also smarter than he thinks is

Anyway for local indy news, if you can find it everyone should watch IWC's Super Indy 17, it was a great show/tourney with a MOTYC final that lasted like 40 mins and I developed a bad migraine that made my 40 min drive back one of the worst experiences in my life, but it was worth getting a picture with Jeff Cobb and autographs from him and Joey Janela.
