This Week:
Two years ago, a hot blooded youth from the future and his Cyber Assistant started a Japanese Pop Culture podcast that has since evolved into a Giant Flaming Katamari of Epic Chaos ™. This week, Mike, Sylene, and Mai celebrate 50 episodes of the continued run of the GFKoEC that is R5 Central with this Mega Episode to shatter the heavens. So massive, in fact, that it has to be split up into THREE episodes!

Featured in this portion: a follow up review of Sukeban Deka: Codename Asamiya Saki with Erin and Noah from Ninja Consultant, news of a possible Godman sequel, and Daryl Surat. Need I say more on that subject?

Click the pic to check out Part 1 of the Epic 50th Episode of R5 Central!

Remember when we did this last year? Well MC Wilson and the Forces of TFL are back with a vengence to hook YOU up with a new Japanese PS2. A contest and prize perfect for the folk around these burbs.

In celebration I’ll be snatching up the shmup I can’t get out of my mind. Triggerheart Exelica is what I’ll be snatching up off of XBOX LIVE. I played the demo and can’t get it out of my head. Heh, it actually reminds me of Travis Touchdown’s favorite shmup, MOE, that you can find in the Wii Game of the Year, No More Heroes. Maybe we’ll hold a competition here to see who can snag the highest score or something. Winner gets to change his name…

Visit ShmupMonth.Com for all the details. And encourage Mike of R5 Central to enter the contest and blow all the competition the fuck outta the water! C’mon, Mike! DO IT FOR JUSTICE!!!
