OSMcast! Show #191: The OSMawards! 2023 Edipyon – Video Games

01/17/24 • 83 min

It’s a brand-new year, and we’re kicking of 2024 with a look back on 2023. In video games. If you want other media mediums, sorry but you’ll have to settle this time. Because aside from a tabletop game in Dylan’s list, that’s all we got this time. I’m sure anime and other things will be talked about in future episodes. Just not this one. But this one? This one’s for the GamersTM.

Protip: Also, this episode is barely edited. And I do mean barely!

Hope you enjoyed this episode! If you were expecting Time Cues, sorry! Like mentioned previously, this episode was only barely edited so we could get it out in a remotely timely manner. Huh, what’s that? Something about how we are supposed to have an Anime Secret Santa episode or two out before Christmas? So why are we worried about being timely? Weird. Must be hearing things.

The Carbuncle Chronicle Issue 19: The Beginning of End (of Endwalker)

Hello Adventurers! As the year of our Yoshi-p 2023 comes to an end, we thought it would be good idea to talk about the patch that we've all been playing as the year closes out: 6.5 Growing Light - Part 1. And to join us in these talks, we had the excellent fortune to bring on Mippa to help us break it all down. (And if you need yet more Mippa, and you assuredly do, we actually had an interview with her not too long ago.) From the latest storyline reveals, to the shores of Aloalo Island, the depths of the Lunar Subterrane, and the hidden mysteries of Thalia, we leave no stone unturned as we dig into all the good stuff Final Fantasy XIV has to offer us right now.

Spoiler Levels: Extremely High! It's the latest patch! All of it that's fit to print! We're talking about it! And then some! You are warned.

OSMnotes

Thanks to Mippa for joining us on the podcast! It was a super fun conversation, and we can't wait to have her on again. And if you want to follow more of Mippa's adventures in Eorzea and beyond, don't forget to check out her Twitter and Tumblr! (Or... You know, Bluesky if it ever comes to that.)

Also, Tobias did Time Cues:

00:00:00 - We Start the Carbuncle Chronicling
00:18:23 - New Main Scenario Quests!
00:37:45 - The Lunar Subterrane
01:04:37 - Thaleia
01:14:52 - Aloalo Island
01:29:11 - The Singularity Reactor (Unreal)
01:36:00 - Splendorous Tools and Custom Deliveries
01:38:03 - Fall Guys Collaboration and Island Sanctuary Update
01:51:52 - Closing Ceremonies

He even went ahead and listed the music used in the episode. Which are Music is "The Red Wings (Endwalker)", "Kingdom of Baron", "Fair Winds to Guide", "Everybody Falls", and "O Hunter, Rejoice". You should hit up the Discord and let him know what a good job he did.

OSMinterview! Neil Ross on 1/7/2024

When knowing is half the battle, your battle half for this podcast is that it’s a big ol’ humdinger. John got the chance to talk to one of the greats: Neil Ross. It’s hard to be more prolific than Neil. He was the voice of Shipwreck in the original GI Joe cartoons. The voice of Kieth in the original Voltron from 1984s. He was the voice of the Biff Tannen Museum Narrator in Back to the Future Part II. He was the voice the Green Goblin in the 1994 Spider-Man: The Animated Series. He was the voice of Mayor Domino in Final Fantasy VII Remake.
He was the voice of, okay we could just keep going but then we’d never get to the interview. He has been in a lot. He also happens to now be the author of Vocal Recall A Life in Radio and Voiceovers, a book you should absolutely read.
