We have made it to episode 99. The last of the double digit episodes. Normally I am not the kind to get super nostalgic about milestones. Still there is sense of accomplishment with 99 down and soon to hit the century mark. Better not get to far ahead of myself. We still have this episode […]

The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 5
January 27th, 2012 
gunsage Sometimes the mere mentioning that a game had RPG elements was enough to shelf the idea to bring it over. You’re going to see me pulling this excuse a lot because for every Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, Mario, Zelda, and whatever title that came out, you’d have a dozen or so RPGs that didn’t quite […]
The Fantastic World Of Japanese Games – Episode 4
January 26th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes a game is deemed “too weird” to come to American soil. This doesn’t happen all the time and usually when it does, it’s for good reason. I mean, I guess so. All three of the games highlighted here definitely have their quirks, but should still definitely have come to America. Sadly, all three are […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 3
January 25th, 2012 gunsage Far too often a game simply won’t be released in America because…well, it’s predecessor failed. Now for me, this is never acceptable, but I do understand. If a game has a huge following in Japan AND it’s an RPG, but it doesn’t really take off in America, they’re more likely to continue the series in […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2
January 24th, 2012 gunsage When playing Japanese SNES games on an emulator, often there are obvious and not so obvious reasons why a game may not have come out to America. The best way to think about it is was it an RPG, did it have suggestive themes, and did it have any sort of following here in America? […]

Comments Off on The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2FPS of the Year – 2002
January 4th, 2012 gunsage This was a great year, but it was hard to select a #1. There are 32 games this year and many of them I would highly recommend…with one I’d say just avoid altogether and try to forget it even exists. Let’s hop right in!
Wonderpod Episode 91(year end)
December 16th, 2011 Bruce McGee The final Wonderpod of 2011 is here. The show covers some year end things like GOTY and we threw in a few other features as well. We would like to thank each and every one of you for listening. With that out of the way, why are you still here? Hit the bloody button already […]
Wonderpod Episode 90
December 9th, 2011 Bruce McGee Finally, Wonderpod episode 90 has come back to WPO. Fun fact the audience may want to know. Buying a new PC means you will get be screwed side ways and not just by shovel ware. So much for plug and play! Okay shitty pun’s out of my system we got a great show for you, […]
GODDAMMIT…Seiken Densetsu 3
December 6th, 2011 gunsage One of the few Squaresoft games that has never even attempted to be remade is also easily one of the best. Now sure, I could’ve talked about the obvious Terranigma, Mother 3, Wonder Project J, Adventures of Hourai High, or even the Front Mission games that never reached American soil, but instead I’d love to […]
McGee Rants 1 (Not Wonderpod)
December 2nd, 2011 Bruce McGee This week was supposed to be the triumphant return of Wonderpod. Our recording software and Skype said nuts to that. Which means we add another lost recording to the catalog. I felt really bad about not getting a show for you guys so, I cooked up a little something. It’s not much and may be […]
