Episode 921: Dealing with Solo Sisters

This week on VG Pulse, award season is upon us! We start off with side notes of fixed trucks, before diving into the regular news where in a shocking turn of events, Nintendo is told to sit down in their own country, Expedition 33 rightfully becomes the most nominated game ever in Game Awards history, and Microsoft tells people not to use their ai due to malware concerns, but they’re still putting it in the system anyway! After the news, I give my review of Rival Stars: Horse Racing Desktop Edition, and Millennium gives his review of Star Trucker! After the news we finish off with talk of anime!! All … Continue reading "VG Pulse 426: The Misadventures of Rusty, Broken and Missing"

You know we here at Popcorn Pulse like to be topical, like an ointment. You might attribute our successes to the placebo effect more than the listed ingredients. Also like a topical application, we might leave you feeling greasy. Because we’re going to talk about Sidney Sweeney. We have a movie that came out recently, Americana[2025]. It’s a sort of Western broken up into little chapters. It deals with not great people all out to get a Lakota Ghost Shirt. Think of it like Pulp Fiction’s glowing briefcase if it was set in Montana or Utah. There’s a bunch of characters that are lucky to hit one note. For example, … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 253: Sidney’s Sweeties"

This week on Anime Pulse we got tick scares, must protect characters, and sister harems. Up first Andrew almost beat someone in Granblue Fantasy Versus, and Joseph rewatched an old anime. Then in the industry news, a woman married an AI on her phone, with a full wedding ceremony and everything. Finally in the reviews Joseph keep on that solo grind to become the king of shadows, and Andrew find he is now living with three hot older sisters (not his) who totally don't want to bang him.

Two more manga, just like we have two more holidays here in the US. So stand the fuck back, Christmas and wait your damn turn. We see you, retailers from hell, trying to shove the Christmas merch into corners in October. You either find a place for that back in the stock room or throw it out. Turkey day has not yet come to pass. Where the hell, were we? Tim has Kemono Jihen. Kohachi is a private detective dude who’s going out to the country side. A small hotel and farm proprietor has hired him to investigate some animal killings that are happening. They turn out to be signs … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 546: Kemono Busters"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the last mow of the year, edgy crossdressing elf boys, and locations for anime not in Japan. Up first Andrew has his Christmas shopping set and ready, and Joseph has put down Stardew to return to the legendary FPS New Vegas. Then in the industry news Japan is thinking of protecting anime, like they do their culture. And finally we have a rare gattai show as Andrew tours the end of the world with his digital monster while thinking about two mornings, and Joseph drops off the massive luggage a hero turned to mincemeat has at the Lincoln Park concert.

This week on Anime Pulse we got unboxing updates, the Goku of isekai, and man-made creatures. Up first Andrew got stuck in traffic coming back from a golf trip, and Joseph has a solid date for the unboxing stream. Then we glaze over no industry news, again, before delving right into the last round of previews. Joseph finds out he a classless vampire who sucks at sucking but believes anything is possible if you just train enough, while Andrew puts on a super hero mask and gets his butt kicked time and time again before going bald.

Anything interesting in the news today? There is, of course, another Tron movie out that no one asked for. Which people seem to be praising the score once again. And for some reason Jared Leto is headlining it. Good thing we didn’t do it for this show. Though there is always the looming threat we will do that. Lucky for us there is alcohol. Speaking of which we watched Novocaine[2025]. Jack Quaid plays a man who has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. He also works as an assistance manager in a bank. He lives a very boring life until runs into Amber Midthunder who awakens the trouser beast. Also she makes … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 252: Novocaine Kiss"

Oh shit, look at the time. It’s manga time. Again. Like Groundhog day, we are back in the same place at the same time. Or at least close enough to the same time that it doesn’t matter. We’re not Batman who’s arrival thirty seconds late means the warehouse explodes or anything. We’re much more important which is why we can start whenever we feel. Tim has Otherside Picnic. It’s sort of inspired by Roadside Picnic but has yuri schoolgirls because this is a manga we’re talking about. Sorawo wanders into a a dimension she’s been exploring and nearly dies. Lucky for her another schoolgirl, Toriko, wanders over with a gun … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 545: Isekai Panic"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the roughest isekai starts, villainess anime, and weight training desserts. Up first Joseph talks about an unexpectedly long walk, and Andrew gives some specifics about his latest trip to Japan. Then we skip the industry news as there is none, going right into the previews. Joseph gets isekai'd as an assassin who collects materials to use at a campfire cookout, and Andrew reincarnates as a villainess who loves monster meat and punching women.

This week on VG Pulse, online security is once again proven to be flawless and inpenitrable! Right? Oh… Anyway! We start off with side notes of improved health and a broken truck, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the five stages of hacks, TwitchCon continuing to be the worst, and Microsoft continuing to make questionable decisions! After the news we go over the discord discussions, Millennium gives his review of Ship Graveyard Simulator 2, and we finish off with talk of food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 425!! -Aki Music Intro – Persona 5 – Life Will Change guitar cover by FamilyJules … Continue reading "VG Pulse 425: Sugar Crash Out!"
