Del Boy!

Listening to noobs complaining about Splatoon. Get good. Hahahaha...

 

[SinCityAssassin]

His son shall rise from the ink. A return to his world.

 

[kiri]

I know what I'm listening to this afternoon!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Excited to hear their take on Evo.

I guess they didn't talk about Capcom Cup this past December because an American won.

Screaming over JJ watching RuPaul's Drag Race!!!! Come talk about the show in the official thread in OT, you can be our token straight friend.

Del Boy!

lol that was the first thing that I thought of too.

 

[Scirm_Layton]

Were you guys talking about TN and IPS screens, or there is even better 3DS screen? Thankfully I have an IPS screen (because lower is always TN, isn't it?). On contrary, my friend's N3DS is TN, and It is simply a sad, poor screen.

 

[Chorazin]

I need a link to that rediculously awesome Splatoon song at the very end. Was driving to work today with the windows down, when that started I had to crank that shit up!!

 

[Blablurn]

Caught up! Still one of the best podcasts out there.

 

[urfe]

Just caught up on some podcasts I hadn't listened to yet, and got to the E3 Undertale talk.

Do you guys have Japanese staff who look over Japanese translations (Hiroko?), or are you guys participating in the quality control? What sort of role do the non-Japanese staff play? I know it can be really hard to translate something out of your native language, and was curious.

 

[Realeza]

Is sara a permanent member of the crew?

 

[Glassboy]

Is sara a permanent member of the crew?

Yup

 

[shira]

Wait what was Sara's stinger?

And has Grayham eaten a limited edition burgerstraw

 

[thenexus6]

Where my 8-4 shirts at bros??

 

[LandStalker]

What song was played during the intermission? Sounded sooo familiar!

 

[Sulaco]

I would like to know the intermission song too.

 

[CryptoZookeeper]

I believe that was a song from the Hollow Knight OST
I think it was this one but I don't fully remember:

[Sharko]

Why'd you guys cut Greyham?

 

[Mupod]

mostly caught up. Apparently I have never played Pulstar even though Blazing Star (its sequel) is one of my favorite shmups of all time. I should probably pick it up.

They really don't make games like that anymore, but I don't think it's because the genre died out. It's still around but it just got more niche, as in bullet hells took over. The R-Types, Gradiuses, and Thunder Forces are what faded away.

 

[oti]

I need more 8-4 in my life.

Start a Patreon.

It really bothers me that they can't pronounce one of their coworkers names. He has repeatedly stated his name is "gray-um" so I have no idea how the "ham" got in there. I'd call them out on it every time if I were him to be honest.

Irem, Konami, and Technosoft might be out of the game but there are still homage-style games out there from smaller devs like Dux I guess.

They do it as a joke. Calm down.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Oh wow, I just realized the next episode should release on 8-4, right? Anything special planned?

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

The patreon talk/joke and the sarah tease for the end of the podcast got me hoping that they were finally able to make a video podcast happen. Oh well.
