I don’t think you all know how close we came. The internet nearly lost one of its greatest video game podcasts, but M.C. Wilson is deciding to soldier on for the sake of all us goodly folk who dig video games and video game news. There’s not a week I miss the show and it’s one of the greatest sources of video game news outside of reading about it. Click here to jam on BCG’s phenomenal 100th episode and after you’re done with that… turn your iPod toward the one hundread and one-th to get the low down on this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

In their latest episodes, our friends over at Team Fremont review, what they say may be the Playstation Game of the Year… Okami. That and a ton of other morsels of Drunken Gamer Entertainment can be found if you take your mouse and click over hear.

FROM REUTERS:

Actors promoting a Japanese children’s show due to appear in Thailand next week are taken away in a police pick-up truck after posing in front of a tank in Bangkok September 28, 2006. Thailand’s military rulers, installed in a coup last week, have banned dancers or actors using tanks as a backdrop. The actors were later released without charge.

See, this is why Ryuki and Faiz are among the three badasses in the Heisei Rider series ^_^

Looks like the Boukengers got themselves a new pimpin’ ride and you all have another big badass bot to add to your collection once the toy lands. Click here to check out some scans brought to us by forum member, Kamen Rider Chaos.

Always one step ahead of Kagami, it looks like Tendou’s got himself a new toy, and if you’ve bought all the Zectors, you too… can wield this mighty power. Click here to see the newest weapon in Kabuto’s formidable arsenal, courtesy of kabuto555.

It’s up and ready on the boards for anyone who wants to check it out. Kagami keeps pace with the man who walks the path of heaven with his own Hyper Mode. When we get to see it, well if that’s know it’s not known by me. Click here to see the new mode, courtesy of Turbo.

Our good friends over at Angery Zen Master pointed out this link on Danny Choo’s blog that’s about someone who’s selling one pimp as fuck Kamen Rider Kabuto costume. Where I a richer man, there would be no question in my mind as to whether or not I purchased this outfit.

But… I’m not. If anyone from our community buys it, make sure to post up your victorious picture in our Show Us Your Henshin thread and soon afterwards I will probably cry myself to sleep.

December 12th 2006 is the day that legendary mecha anime heroine Noriko Takaya is born. Thus this week on R5, we do a bit of a tribute to this famed pilot of pilots..that is if the Wii Full Disclosure doesn’t dominate everything past the newsbreak o_o

Click the pic and take a listen to Episode 24: Happy Birthday Noriko!

Show. Notes. G’night.

And don’t tell me you don’t know who Mark Musashi is. Believe me, if you are a watcher of things awesome such as GARO, Sh15uya, or Kamen Rider the First among other shows… you know. His friend, and forum member, Tenraisenpuujin let us know that Mark got a bit banged up and another member, Bueno got to meet up to with to get the story. Not much is known on his condition now, but we here at HJU all hope for a speedy recovery for the guy. Here’s a repost of the awesome interview he was generous enough to hook us up with.

Get well soon, Mark!

P.S. Mark’s going to be in Sukeban Deka. ^__^

If you’re like the rest of us at HJU and pretty much all over the world, you’re currently hanging on every word of Iwata-san and Reggie. We’ve got a thread going with all the latest updates, interviews and links to video feeds. And later next week, my homie M.C. Wilson’s going to have one killer podcast that’ll more than likely give us the full run down, hopefully with audio, so stay tuned.

Everything we’ve been hearing has been pretty awesome, but for now I’m happy with my Onyx DS Lite and I’ll be content to wait for the Black Wii to come out, most likely by the end of next summer with a probably price drop. For everyone else, this looks like this’ll be the Christmas of the Wii and that Nintendo is back in the game. I for one couldn’t be happier.
