Around the Fifteen Minute mark, Victor suddenly hops on this whole Fascism subject, where he sites Hellsing, Full Metal Alchemist, etc. It turns into a somewhat serious subject where the only laugh is at 17:41 where Victor goes hysterical with laughter because of the bottle of beer he was passing to Alex. (Wink) Although Victors' arguement about a rerise of Nazism can be a little flawed, Alex definitely has the knowledge about WWII. At the end of the arguement, Victor then fails to make a joke by talking about the Spanish, Africans, and whatever other "race"...ugh what was such a failure and we all apologize for pissing anyone off.
Here's a screen from the Hellsing OVA, which is copied from the manga.

Twenty-four minutes in we start on the subject of kiddy-porn. What ensues is another subject where we seriously talk about why kiddy-porn is stopped in the states, but not when it's anime or manga. We really can't believe that we are still not considered "Explicit" on iTunes. Great fun was in this conversation.
Thirty-Four minutes into the show we talk about Doug Lowenstein, the head of the ESA, and how he is leaving for "greener pastures". Later on Victor tries to explain the event which the ESA had stopped Minnesota from working a law that forces minors to penalize minors for renting or buying M or AO rated games. So after typing this up, Victor realized that he must have a serious conversation with Alex about the situation with video game litigation. From this conversation, Victor had made the discovery that government does want to help regulate violent video games, however it seems that having gamers pissed about the reasoning is the only way to get what we as gamers want. It was an awesome discussion, (sadly it wasn't recorded) yet it made Victor (the one who is typing this) understand about the implications of video game litigation much deeper than he thought it really was. We might have this discussion again sometime in the future now that we know what it is that we're talking about.
Turns out, there are giant robots on Full Metal Panic! Turns out, Victor accidently skipped that episode, and it turns out they were doing more in that episode too. After reading it, he deems it to be one of the better episodes in the show. On the fourty-fourth minute, Robert kicks off the reviews with his review of Resistance: Fall of Man for the PS3. Robert likes it, Victor likes it, and Alex, well Alex never played it. At one point the game reminds us of those flash things where you have to stare hard at the screen, and after a minute or so a scary face pops up and scares you. Which brings me the writer to remembering this funny video, go check it out, most of you have probably seen it, but it's still great. Oh, and the Zerg Victor was talking about was the Overlord. Thanks to Bruno for clarifing!
After a looooong discussion about all things pertaining Sony, we move on to the Shuffle review at sixty-ninth minute. Victor tries to explain the concept of a harem anime, and them starts explaining all the girls. If you want to have a visual representation of the girls, follow this link, which is, VERY NSFW.
Also Victor talked about Kaede going nuts, and although the second picture is doctored, as there isn't so much blood, you can still see that Kaede flips a b****.
This freak out though, reminds Victor of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, where cute faces are suddenly getting distorted with RAGE. This next pic is from Higurashi.
Also at one point Victor and Robert make fun of Asa when she's hurt by pulling out a Family Guy reference.
And here's Rin cutting himself (NSFW, maybe?)
So, look forward to the seventh episode whenever we do it. (Maybe next week?)

I dont know if I had said this or not but my 360 failed me a few days ago. I asked some guy in a gamestop and he told me to call microsoft and they might replace it since its one from the initial batch. But no XBL for me until it get fixed. I hope the hardrive is okay because I bought almost all the oblivion mods.
On the topic of mods, Halo 2 sucks because of moders. Well, that and the little kids. I used to play a heck of alot of Halo 2 back in the day. But its just not fun anymore.
On the topic of Axis and Allies, I tried the pc game but could never get into it. Maybe it is because I would have to compare it with Company of Heros which is my favorite rts ever.
The only thing I have to say about game ratings is that they are there for a reason. All stores should card for games. Little kids should not be playing games like GTA and Halo. Its bad for their growing minds. I mean, who knows, all kids of this generation might grow up to be messed up individuals.
That video you guys linked to UTube was funny if a little messed up. Thats just some bad parenting.
I liked Shuffle back when I was a moe fan. That was before Anime World Order saved me from the darkness. I remember the show really pissing me off at the end because the ending invalidated the entire show. I have to say that the purpose was lost half way. I can say that I would never watch it again.
If you guys are looking for other good podcasts (basides AWO) Fast Karate for the Gentleman is good. I used to be a fan of AnimePulse but they just suck now. Flat out suck. Maybe I should start up a podcast some day...now thats a joke. None of my friend like anime.
And I know im just taking out of my crack now but some of my favorite anime of the season are Pumpkin Scissors and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (which is funny if a little odd).
Well thats pretty much all I wanted to say about the episode. Ill keep listening to future installments. You guys have a good one.

I forgot to express my fealings on Resistence:Fall of man. I liked it when I played it at a friends house but I cant say that it has the fps sould to it. When I say soul I mean rumble. Its hard for me to play an fps (on a console) without rumble. Rumble just adds on to the level of enjoyment by letting you feel more into the game. You could argue that the motion movement with the controller makes you fell part of the game but moving a controller just dosent fell right without rumble. I dont know, the ps3 needs more soul. Thats all I wanted to say on that subject
