If any of you actually happened to listen to the latest episode, then you’d have noticed the awfully annoying delay Baku develops since he doesn’t know how to record properly. So we, the community took it upon ourselves to do another podcast a day or two later to help fulfill the mass demand for our show. I did all of the recording/editing (never have done audio editing before, but have quite a bit of video editing experience) so I hope it’s listenable. Wesly Willis is the wonderful man who brought you this episode’s music. Also, here’s the link dump.

If we are honest, Jerkpop is anything but serious. Today however, things will take a little change. Mainly because I feel like writing something random today and through my email box is afterdawn’s newsletter. What caught my eye only really matters to Canadians, and here’s the original article.

Basically, to sum it up in one big sentence. The Canadian government are now holding secret talks with various lobby groups who will be benefiting from tougher copyright laws and shutting out all media as well as lobby groups that tends to get in the way but have a valid point. (Aka: Telecommunications, Privacy, etc.)

Canada, I thought, was a free and rather laid back country. Though, looking at this, maybe not so much. If readers out there don’t really understand what the problem with these kind of secret talks are, here’s the break down of why this is a bad topic to discuss in secret. First of all, these talks will almost certainly step over the bounds of simple copyright as it will also touch on snooping on all incoming and outgoing traffics of your internet. Also, there’s also the whole shabam about companies bugging your bluray player or what not just to see what movies you are watching. Basically, in a couple tens of years, Metal Gear Solid will happen. For those of you that don’t play the game, it means we are all going to be screwed over because a elite group will control many aspects of our life in the shadows.

Will Snake be there to save us when this happens?

Yet another article from IGN, new Rhythm Tengoku DS gameplay videos.  I cannot express in words how good or how much I loved Rhythm Tengoku for the GBA.  It was like Wario died, went to Japan to get his master’s degree in music, and then made another game.  It’s just so much better than Warioware is.  I’ll stop now, just go get it and play it.

I’m postin’ crazy today!!!!

If you hear Pigeon4 or myself talk about FPSes, STALKER will come up.   Well, here’s some new and delicious gameplay videos from IGN of the new STALKER prequel Clear Sky.

Enjoy.

Here’s your second dose.  Who will come out on top?

…the red team runs out of money?  They find temp jobs of course!

EVO 2008, for those of you who don’t know, is the largest annual fighting game tournament that is held in Las Vegas.  This weekend (same time as Otakon) is when the action begins.  The world’s best fighters, and I use that term very lightly and in a video game sense, will be there to compete in SF3, MvC2, Tekken 5, SSBB, SF2 Turbo, and Capcom vs. SNK 2.  They are also having demos of new fighters such as BlazBlue, SF4, and SF2 HD Remix (which we will now refer to as SUPER street fighter 2 turbo hd remix WITH SPINNING RIMS Deluxe edition Hyper aniversary collection 10th edition redux the 7th addon the old generation collectors set Special crazy ultra evolution 2006 the movie Zero New and improved taste extra flavor remake).

Wish I could be there to at least see the best beat the hell out of the best.  Another time…

I am utterly amazed that I haven’t seen anyone post on this yet (save Gia, but hey, it’s her job to do it). If you liked the opening from the Jerkpop Fail Episode, then you already love Xam’d. It was the opening (which I have so generously included in this post) that opened me to the series. The story (according to the little I’ve seen) follows a young boy named Akiyuki who lives on a peaceful island, claiming neutrality in the conflict enveloping his world. This neutrality seems to be in vain though, when a seemingly terroristic attack turns Akiyuki into a weapon named Xam’d, and almost instantly, his island is attacked by bio-weapons sent from one of the warring factions. This event gets him involved with a red-haired foreign girl named Nakiami, and the events are set in motion. I discuss my impressions, which really aren’t all that important, after the jump.
