That Seven Samurai talk.
I mean don't get me wrong Ghost in the Shell and in essence, Akira, are stunning and amazing in terms of what they did for animation especially since it started to spread out to other places instead of being in Japan only and gave us a look that animation is not only a medium used to tell kids stories but adult stories as well.
Comparing it though with a 1954 masterpiece that has most of its effects still hold up today? Man, that's a tough fucking battle.

if anybody's kind of out of the loop on the Kurosawa talk, the EFaP episode about him is a pretty good crash course as to why he's so respected
The nuance those cameras could pick up is incredible when you consider the technology they had at the time. Just imagine trying to light a scene with no reference monitor. Watched Stray Dog on bluray recently and it's still as impressive as ever.
Yup, I am going through the Universal stuff on Blu-ray right now. It's so good. The effects in The Invisible Man were spectacular. Like I can not believe that was done in the 30s.
Jeff had it on his holiday solo stream.

The Ghost in the Shell QL goes from Brad and Jeff wanting more anime then almost directly into John Cena and wrestling talk... I've heard it all now.
E-fap is an unfortunate acronym.

Holy shit so much wrasslin talk in this Ghost in the Shell QL.
Also here is a video of AJ Styles's finishing move being botched and nearly killing a guy if anyone was curious and not up on wrestling. Not graphic or anything but you can tell nothing good will come from you landing like that

Similar mistakes happened to a few people in a short amount of time over the last year or two. Some a lot worse looking.
And here is a gif of what is meant to happen.

Before Dan arrived, every time wrestling came up on the podcast Brad seemed closer to wanting to give it a try. Then Dan got hired and Brad realized "There but for WWE go I" and had to keep away from the one thing that could lead to him actually becoming Dan.
Seeing that, i dont agree with what Jeff said. Seems like AJ in the botched case didn't "tilt" his upper body forward enough.

You are right. The landing in that video is totally different then whats been happening to dudes recently.
Here is a recent example. His leg blocks the camera of the impact but you get the idea where the guys neck was heading.

Dude got fucked up from that. He hasn't wrestled since and spent months in hospital in a halo brace.
Dude is much better now (and actually commentated for a recent show for New Japan) but he was lucky not to be paralysed.

Michelle McCool used a Styles Clash (her's was called the FaithBreaker) in WWE for years, and as far as I remember it never once went wrong.
I think the fact that WWE has a roster that is tight knit and knows each other's movesets helps for moves like this. Styles using the move at various companies with wrestlers having little foreknowledge of the uniqueness of how to take it beforehand makes it much more dangerous.

RAW tonight will surely end with a cavalcade of humanity in the ring at one time to promote the Royal Rumble this Sunday. Don't miss this once in a lifetime spectacle Giant Bomb Fam.

Brad needs to stop messing around and start his science podcast. Segment 1: Space. Segment 2: Medical anomalies. Segment 3: Fucked up animal stories
Use Cheat Engine to completely break the progression and get bored of the game in a few minutes.
the anime got to you
Bought this just from seeing a couple gifs on Saturday. It's really damn fun. I've forgone Dark Souls 2 in favor of it for now.
The pawn system is really neat but I can't find my friend's pawn while he has mine. I think the devs addressed they're looking into it. I want Squirtle!

Geoff also looked at the game on UPF. So that is 3 times he has covered it.

Count me in the Ghost in the Shell movie is overrated camp too. It is an insult to Seven Samurai to have it compared to it too.
Giant Bomb in the pocket of Big Anime confirmed.
Side-thought: If there isn't a rapper by the name of Big Crunchy already, there should be.

As I finally listen to the last GOTY podcast, it is becoming clear to me both this year and in the past that it's not Jeff and his general apprehension to all games not mario maker that is the true enemy (that calmed down a bit on the final day). It's actually Brad. Logic he deems inappropriate for disqualifying one game he will use himself against another.

but remember, you can't make a case for games if you haven't finished them, but we've played enough of TW3 to make a case
I just really wanna see Brad dive head first into wrestling. You can tell there's a basic level of interest there. He's already peering over the edge looking in going "Hmmmm..." Somebody just needs to push him in.
Or start him with baby steps. Brad was talking about falling down a Netflix documentary rabbit hole? Plenty of good documentaries on WWE Network.

I randomly watched Ghost in the Shell a few months ago when it showed up on Netflix here and went in with no expectations other then "I have heard of this anime".
That thing was boring but it had style. And there is something about iffy English dubs that I just love. Reminds me of watching old Jackie Chan movies with grandad
