This show was a creepy horror special! Myself (n00j) Briggy and Monty talked about the Japanese culture of horror: from ghosts of the past to the films, manga, anime and games of the present.
We also had our usual selection of dubious facts, stupidity and general tom-foolery plus some awesome tunes too!

Being a retro hardware fanatic I thought I would compose myself a little list of some of the greatest and rarest classic consoles I one day hope to own, and a few I do not stand any chance of locating / being able to afford.

In no particular order the following are some of the most curious and most desirable consoles I have ever come across.

The Sega / Victor Wondermega

So, I finally getting round to watching the over 9000 hour long god-awful Dune series thing from the Sci-fi channel, which turned out to be a total waste of my life. Despite being unbelievably dreadful it did manage to infect me with "Dune fever" once more. One major symptom is the desire to watch the original David Lynch movie, which wasn't brilliant either but looks like a seminal work of absolute genius compared to the dreary 4 hour long rubbish that the Sci-fi channel put out.

This show is special for oh so many reasons! And not just cos of our usual "special" cast, we had a brand new member in the form of Thom Sweeting! 
Plus this is the last podcast before our live show at ALcon and marks the official running out of Japanese podsafe music, seeing us move into the realms of some excellent British and American bands.
Not only that but this show is the first show since the new UKotaku website design and we talk about that too! Wow, so much special in just one download...
Don't worry about all this change though; we still have out usual mix of anime, manga, gaming and general geek-chat interspersed with nonsense and music for your listening pleasure.

Yet another post about Lucky ☆ Star , I know, I'm obsessed... I have stumbled across this video of the Hiiragi sisters blowing the crap out of Doraemon and Pikachu in the funniest GTA mod I have ever seen.

My little brother just showed me a pretty funny Oblivion video on YouTube, its kinda reminded me of Wave Twisters (I am the red worm!) If only it was actually scratching... really makes me wanna play Oblivion again too, its been a long time... I'm already spending enough time playing games... oooh! Anyway, the video...
