Again, blame Diablo for this episode being late. Despite having the SSAG wrapping, this is the return of the NPC Podcast in which our heroes talk about Miranda's ass for two hours.

Andy ended up leaving before we started.

The SSAG returns. This time, we finish the fight by talking about Mass Effect 3. Along with your usual hosts, our good friend, Richie McBeefy, returns as well as some of the members of Konoha Corner, Gothic Garaa and Yondy. We laughed. We cried. We made half-Quarian babies.

(0:00 - 12:25) Intro

We start off swimmingly. I think we need to make it a requirement for new people to tell a long joke as they introduce themselves.

(12:26 - 54:00) Discussion (Games besides Mass Effect)

You can blame Diablo 3 for the lateness of this episode. Just be thankful that this was recorded before that game came out. Everything that I mentioned on here as been put aside because of that game.

By the way, haven't been playing Street Fighter x Tekken for a different reason. Here is why.



Kind of hard to describe Mighty Switch Force so here is the trailer.



(54:01 - 1:11:50) Discussion (News?)

Hell, I tried. This will end up leading to more discussion in the future. Man, this industry is fun.

(1:11:51 - 2:44:59) Discussion (Fully effect)

All the Mass Effect is here. Obviously, we will be covering spoilers for the whole game. What is nice about us is that we are never timely. You probably already finished the game and are just waiting impatiently for the "ending".

(2:45:00 - 2:47:11) Closing

We finish the fight only to start a new one. Stay tuned for the upcoming DLC of this episode.

Back to talking about anime. In case you are confused within the first ten minutes of this episode, go listen to the last episode I was on the AniManga Podcast. I thought it would be fun to do a simultaneous recording of our show and their show. They edit their recording their own way and I edit my recording my way. It managed to work out in a cohesive enough way. Luckily, they never got a chance to do an episode on Puella Magi Madoka Magica so it was pretty easy to decide on what show we can talk about.

(0:00 - 3:52) Intro

I recently bought a fight stick for my PS3. So between that and watching fighting game streams online, I don't know how I was able to rewatch this show. I wonder if any of their fans decided to check out this version of the episode. Leave a comment on here and say which one is better but don't tell Jammer.

(3:53 - 19:25) Discussion (Avengers)

My knowledge of these comics are very limited. I do plan to go back to watch it within this month. Hopefully it is less packed.

(19:25 - 30:00) Discussion (News)

Wait, what? I guess this is the part where I put links to what we were talking about.

File your taxes, people.

Bakuman jacket goes on sale.

Kenichi Suzumura forms his own agency.

If Joss Wheden made Batman.

Mizu mean water.

Japan turns off nuclear power.

(30:01 - 45:40) Discussion (Break?)

I feel like Jammer was close to singing a MacGruber song. Still considering AX. But, money.

(45:41 - 46:59) Earcatch

OSMcast! I was not aware they posted our site on theirs.

Fightbait anime podcast There is so much on there.

(47:00 - 2:02:29) Discussion (Mah Gee Ka)

Legitimately, one of the better new shows to have come out this decade. I am actually pretty proud that I never brought up Evangelion during the discussion since it seems to be the go-to comparison whenever Madoka is brought up online. I don’t think it would have gone over that well since I know Jammer never saw Evangelion. You can go blast him on his site, don’t do it here. Really, it is quite fair to make the comparison. I am not really saying one is better than the other, that’s never been my style. These shows really got a strong reaction from the fans. I think it’s probably because it got people to think for a minute about what is actually happening on screen. Obviously, all the focus is on Madoka and how this witch is going to destroy the world and there is nothing that can be done to prevent this. Well, besides messing around with time but things are never that easy.



I feel like this is a bigger discussion waiting to happen. We may have to wait for the movies to come out before we delve deeper into this series. I’m sure there are people more dedicated than us that may have already done so. Go look for them and if they are looking for an idiot to talk about this series, I’m your guy.

(2:02:29 - 2:04:27) Earcatch

The Dennis Daniel Show A fellow brony.

The AniManga Podcast I could have been an asshole and not put in your promo.

(2:04:28 - 2:13:39) Discussion (Not The Closing)

I’ve never met Victor before but I can only assume he has a sexy butt. I will be sure to leave a link to the AniManga Podcast version of this episode once they have it up.

(2:13:40 - 2:16:04) Closing

One more stop before 90.

We mentioned going to Anime Boston some time ago. So, here is what happened while I was there. Aritzen from Just A Gintama Podcast helps me to remember what happened during that weekend.

You can check out the JAGP version of this episode here. If you want to see all the photos that were taken at Anime Boston, you can go to the Just A Gintama Podcast Facebook page. Give it a like. It may just exceed this podcast's Facebook page.

(6:55 - 1:36:08) Discussion (Anime Boston)

I honestly do not remember anything that happened. I am just glad Aritzen was here. I will remember to record the panel next time. If there is a next time. Here is a picture of the shirt I was wearing all of Saturday.

(1:36:09 - 1:38:02) Closing

Plenty of show for this week. We will be back with a review on a recent show. See you then.

Feels like a while since we have done one of these. Actually, it hasn’t been that long. I don’t know why I tried to lie to you. Dominic from the Animanga Podcast and Bullet Beast of the Unofficial Hunter x Hunter Podcast comes by to talk about the new Spring season of shows that are coming out. We manage to at least talk about these shows while they are still new.

Here is a performance from the hosts of The Voice Korea.



(7:46 - 2:02:46) Discussion (Spring Season Anime Preview 2012)

We need to start a donation drive to get Casper a proper laptop. This tablet idea is clearly not working out. Here is the list we used for this recording.



(2:02:47 - 2:15:34) Mailbag

Thanks for the email. You guys should really start leaving voice mails. It never seems to get any love. Just call 954-324-7722 and say you are calling for the SSAA Podcast and leave your voice mail. We will make sure to play them the next chance we get.

(2:15:35 - 2:17:48) Closing

We will be releasing our Anime Boston con report not long after this has been released.
