Street Fighter IV

Hey kids! It’s the OSMcast_! _And tonight/today/whenever you are listening to this, we’re talking about Capcom’s latest fighting game, STREET FIGHTER IV!

And other stuff, too. Like God Hand, Lost Odyssey, Shiren the Wanderer, Senko no Ronde... and Superman 64. (Sorry about that.)

OSMnotes

Street Fighter IV is out on Xbox 360 and PS3, and in fact is _so _brand new it hasn’t even been out a week when this podcast gets posted. Therefore you should go out into the world, walk into a store, and go buy it. Because that may just be the last time you see the sun for some time.

However finding a decent stick or one of those fancy fightpads... Not so easy.

Thumbnails tell you nothing, so I made a larger version clickable.

So I suggest that spend your money on Senko no Ronde instead (Please ignore the stupid cover art. Yeah, Ubisoft didn’t have a clue what to do with this thing.). That is, if the idea of Street Fighter in the context of a shoot ‘em up appeals to you. On the other hand, the good man Inubito would suggest that perhaps Slide America – A Nationwide Documentary on Drifting in North America might be something you hip drifting cats would be interested in. It will certainly be a more accurate portrayal of the sport than other movies releasing this year.

If you ain't outta control, you ain't IN control!

And in a stunning change of events, we got an email! Shock! Awe! Baseless pandering finally paid off! Yes, YOU TOO (!!!) can be mocked by us for the Internet to preserve for all of eternity! All it takes is sending us an email! There are other ways you can contact us, but I’ll leave to you to read on down to the contest copy-pasta or to the lovely information in the side bar. But yes, it is now proven by one of our intrepid listeners : if you send us an email, we _will _answer it.

The rules for this contest are very simple! You just have to talk to us! No matter what, we’ll need an email. You can send us one at [email protected]. Also, you could leave us a comment in the comments section below this post. Or call us up on the OSMline at (206) 202-0071. However you do it though, we’ll need an email to contact you. The PRIZE AS WE HAVE NOW ANNOUNCED, is an OSMcast T-shirt! Possibly a one of a kind! Or at least a very few of a kind...

Previous Episode

OSMcast: Gunsmith Cats 02-16-2009

Gunsmith Cats

Look out because the OSMcast_!_ is updating on time!

For this episode we decided to tackle the manga and anime series by Kenichi Sonoda,_ Gunsmith Cats._

Protip : Ignore the fact that I think the music that we ended up playing was from Riding Bean. We can’t help the fact that we’re hustlers.

Promo: Anime World Order! These guys certainly don’t need any of our help finding listeners, but they were the first podcast to play our promos. So we thought we’d return the favor. I have yet to get a bad recommendation from them, even if it’s for all the wrong reasons. Usually however, they’re good ones.

OSMnotes

Sadly, the Gunsmith Cats DVD is severely out of print and plan on paying $30+ if you want the DVD. However the manga is easily found and at some pretty decent prices too.

MTAC Ninja: April 3rd-5th

And it looks like we’ll be returning to MTAC this year! It should be quite fun! I’ve heard there might be a podcasting panel or two, so we are going to try to crash get invited to them. Last year was good times and I see no reason why this year should be any different. It’s April 3rd through the 5th, in Nashville at the Sheraton Music City hotel.

And don’t forget, the contest still exists!

The rules for this contest are very simple! You just have to talk to us! No matter what, we’ll need an email. You can send us one at [email protected]. Also, you could leave us a comment in the comments section below this post. Or call us up on the OSMline at (206) 202-0071. However you do it though, we’ll need an email to contact you. As for the prize, well we are having this conest till the end of February so before then we’ll let you know!

Next Episode

OSMcast: Slayers Revolution 03-02-2009

Slayers Revolution

In this episode of the OSM cast_!_ we decided to throw down with the latest adventures of Lina and the gang by talking about Slayers Revolution!

OSMnotes

Right now Slayers Revolution is kind of hard to get to at the moment. When the series started up a small while back, you could find fansubs of it. But with a _quickness _Funimation grabbed up the rights to both it _and _Slayers Evolution-R. Fansubs dried up really quick (because if anyone knows where to look for places to throw some cease and desist orders, it’s Funimation.).

Not that this is a bad thing! Especially since they’ve promised us streaming versions of Slayers officially subtitled soon. How soon, I have no clue.

I’m sure that we’ll talk about in a future World of OSM when it happens.

Baccano! It's pretty darn awesome.

Speaking of streaming and Funimation, they also have Baccano! You can actually watched the first episode on their site, although it is dubbed. We talked about Baccano! in Show #10, although it is spoileriffic and me might have missed a fact there or two. If you would rather have a less spoiler-filled podcast, Daryl Surat of the AWO recently covered it. Or you could just buy it. Trust me, this was the best show of 2007 this side of Gurren Lagann. You will not be disappointed.

Just to remind everyone who might be going to MTAC, so are we! Infact we’ll be on the podcasting panel, where there will be special secret prizes. What will these be? I don’t know I’m not handling it! But I hear that there will be some. And I’ll be there to run my mouth off in person. I see no reason why this is a bad thing, really. Maybe we can try that whole taking photos thing again, the cosplay kids seemed to like that.

MTAC: It's where it's AT, come April 3rd-5th anyway!

We mentioned that the nerdcore anime hip hop group The Band of Seven will be there to run MTAC’s dance off. I asked them for a link so that you all could check them out and what do they do? They sent us three. These guys have their stuff together way more than we do, with our measly one URL. To wit: They are planning to release their second album at MTAC, that is said to be produced while on a spaceship. If this is true, I want to know where one can _find _one of these things. I’m in the Rocket City and so far, no dice.

Spaceships are the best.

How do these guys do it? I know not, but if you do, let us know! Or how this podcast was, a question you’d like answered, or maybe you were trying to conatct someone else but found is instead! So if you would like to contact us, fret not! There are many, many ways one can acconplish this. And by many, I mean three. Way Number One: Leave a comment in this very post! Way Number Two: Email us at [email protected]! Way Number Three: Send us a voice mail at 206-202-0071! It is fact, _that _easy.
