I'd probably throw in Ano Hanna too, for something a bit different.

Yup, agreed on Ano Hanna =] I found it surprisingly a good imo. Also I recommend C the Soul of Money and Possibility Control, found it to be totally awesome.

I watched the first 3 episodes of C and I agree, it's awesome! There's something fresh about it and it looks great.

Check out Kuchu Buranko, came out last year from the same director of C.

Forgive me for not reading the previous 400+ pages, but has anyone watched Highschool of the Dead? Saw a couple of episodes recently and thought it wasn't too bad, what does everyone else think?

Dude, first, I totally dig that Sig. Just saw Atmosphere and Grieves LIVE at Stubbs BBQ. ****en rocked. I never miss a show when Slug is invloved :)

On that note, While HSOTD was animated very well, and had zombies... I couldn't get too much into it. I made it to about the 7th episode, and just lost interest. Too many panty and boob shots that may have done it.... I just don't dig that type of "perverted" anime. I call it "perverted" because they always do it in a way that makes it seem creepy lol.

Holy god another local fan!

Indeedy :)

I'm a noob fan really, I've loved Japanese cinema for years, but never enjoyed anim?... I guess I never got it until whilst intoxicated and being introduced to Naruto properly, I came to the revelation of Godzilla/Akira/InsertRandomApocalypticScene <----> Horrific earthquakes... and the penny sort of dropped linking the two.

I've seen most of the critically acclaimed films just through being a film student at one point in my life, but as for the anim? shows? I've given very few of them the time of day. I'm struggling to finish season one of Naruto because although I like it and find it quite entertaining... I cannot stand the way it's formatted. The lengthy intros & outros plus the annoying recaps all for around 10 minutes or so of new material. My housemate has just started getting into it as well, he's just finishing season two and told me that some one-on-one fight scene Naruto has as part of his training lasts for around 3 episodes. Same reason I struggle to watch a lot of American shows, even The Walking Dead is a bit of a pain to watch for me.

Naruto , while the story takes place as them being kids, is good and tedious. But stick through it. Once Shippuuden starts, the series really takes off.

Cheers, our friend Fiddy is just too good to be true sometimes!

MASSIVELY jealous right now. I'd kill to see any ONE of the RS lot live, never mind TWO of them on one bill! What's Family Sign like live?

I know what you mean about HSOTD, I'm not fussed on those perverted shots... they do get quite annoying, the show does seem to use them ****loads. If they toned it down a bit just so it didn't become so monotonous it'd be a lot better.

I have only watched about... 4 episodes maybe? I think I got up to the part where you seemingly meet the first couple of villains? I like the subject matter, I've always been fascinated with zombie shows/films/games, so I'll probably try and finish the first season.

Man, they were amazing. Grieves started the show, and got it pumped up instantly. Have to say, I enjoyed LightSpeed the most out of his songs. Then Atmosphere played last, after Blueprint, and they were amazing. I've seen Atmosphere live before, and once their sound system wrecked, and Slug went into the crowd and started just freestyling and signing his songs without any real beats... it was a moment I'll never forget... but I don't miss anything Ryhmesayers/Doomtree. They come to Austin a lot, and I make it to basically every show I can. Had a drink with POS, got hugged by Dessa :), and bumped fist with Ant just the other day !!! My friend had me take his picture with grieves, but it was too dark, so only got a black square. Grieves was a cool dude, got to talk with him a little. This girl me and my friend were near got us partially back stage after Grieves finished, so we were able to meet some of them, but not Slug... he was infront of the building, shaking hands and talking to those entering the concert :(

Only one I still need to really meet is Astronautalis. Seen him perform plenty, just haven't shaken hands or got a picture with him yet.

Man, you're the only person so far that seems to know what Ryhmesayers is..... good to be able to talk about this **** :) lol

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
