Was that song used in a trailer or something? Confused the heck out of me when it came on since I'm used to mashups and old video game music.

In the original and actually really good 360 release the costumes modified stats and had a purpose. Also, iM@S is a game series made into an anime, not the other way around.

iM@S CG plays nothing like the real mainline games. They're known for their writing, mix of genres, and time management system, none of which the mobile games have.

if you want to talk about outright wasting money, there's tons of mobile gaming bullshit to easily waste money on. Spending money on gacha coins/tokens/gems or whatever gimmick for the CHANCE to win a possibly high level card/monster in Puzzles and Dragons/Lovelive School Idol Festival is far far far far far FAR worse for various reasons and quite often ends up in people literally wasting money and not getting what they wanted. Even if they do, these games ping servers with every action so once the servers are offline, the game becomes inaccessible, along with whatever you've wasted buying on it. It's getting so bad that some games ask for age verification and I think people are wanting it so underage iOS accounts are restricted from being able to purchase them. I think it was podcast 86 which covered this formula a bit.

mobage is just sort of the catch all term for all mobile games in japan. it's just kind of confusing since there's also a company literally named Mobage that makes real bad mobages.

the CG mobage is utter trash, I'm talking about the Starlight Stage spinoff which is a genuinely solid rhythm game
Some videos of how it plays like, basically a derivative of IIDX with an additional slide mechanic. [link]

there's virtually no pay to win wall in SS. Until you get to the point where you want to go for top ranks in events (in which the prizes are ingame trophies that do nothing), literally the whole game is entirely skill walled.

As someone who missed last week's podcast, was Matt flipping out because he thinks the new footage looks good or bad? I watched that video and woof a lot of the new stuff is kinda rough looking even compared to the original.

Cap said Hail Hydra because he's a secret agent, but the plot is probably involving a time traveler that rewrites the past.

Pat got angry because he's Pat and it never was about that in the end.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
The gist of it is that a few years ago Cyclops murdered Professor Xavier and after a whole event the clone of Red Skull stole Xavier's brain to become a super powerful psychic. A while after that Steve got his super soldier drugs sucked out of his body and became old, a year later Maria Hill somehow got a Cosmic Cube in the shape of a little girl who is sentient, so she made her use reality warping to change an entire town filled with supervillains into a peaceful place where everyone was nice, so she'd just throw villains there and make them believe they were nice simple people, then the Avengers (all five teams of them) were like "nahhh that's super hosed up" and punched everyone and the girl was like "yeah you're right, oh, hey, captain america is old, lets go over here so i can fix him" while Red Skull is standing in the background smiling. In the issue we get flashbacks to Steve's youth where everything is gray except for some red colors and suddenly it turns out that Steve's mom had a hydra friend he looked up to and it all ended with Steve going Hail Hydra as he seemingly killed some dude.

tl;dr mind control that'll get undone in six months.

Kinda follows suit with 2014's Superior Spider-man where Peter gets his body swapped with Doctor Octopus and 2015's Superior Iron Man where Tony becomes evil because DnD, some joe at marketing had the clarity of vision to not name the current Cap the Superior Captain America.

Captain America was secretly a Hydra agent all along! Except, it was probably the Red Skull or someone who altered his past to make that happen and everything will probably be returned to normal by the end, making it even more dumb and pointless.

I'm listening to last week's cast where they talk about poo poo in the FGC and capcom's "draconian" rules and such. I wonder if they'll talk about what happened at Combo Breaker where noted human shitbag and assaulter of both other players and his girlfriend Noel Brown groped another player's girlfriend on camera and then made a loving gigantic facebook post(among others) about how he didn't do anything wrong when they banned his rear end for at least the next couple years

iPodschun posted:

Noel's FB posts:

A lot of other fighting game folks are being pretty dodgy about discussing it or naming Noel as the assaulter likely because he's best buds with Justin Wong, a big name in the FGC, and they don't want to burn bridges. It'd be interesting to hear their opinions on that given that Woolie at the very least seems to take part in some tournaments and stuff when he's able and is at least familiar with a fair amount of the bigger names in the community.

Woolie is probably not going to mention it and if he does he's going to be super wishy washy about it because he's familiar with the community and the other guys won't care that much.

All the noise about the Captain America comic made me go read it, and I'm not a comic reader, so that was a good hook. I'm mostly in agreement with Pat; I don't really trust comics to handle this is a way that doesn't feel super cheap. But who knows, maybe they will.

Also lol the dialogue in it is awful.

No, Pat's still right, Matt just expresses Woolie's wrong point of a view in a more sane fashion than "superman is a genre." Cape comics would still be way better if instead of drifting from run to run writers just did their own series.

I mean obviously there's no fixing that like, 100 years into cape comics existence but that just means it'll be a problem forever
