At long last, we return to Eden of the East! After over a year of Jumper Cables putting it off, is it still as good as he remembers?! Or will he be forced to remove a pair of retro-goggles that he never realized he was wearing?! Is there any real point to this line of questioning?! No, there isn't.

This episode is something special (and weird) to say the least. Jumper Cables thinks it gets taken over by Mike's need to understand what Joe's brain won't comprehend.

The Oldtaku Connection Episode 35: Sword For Truth

Tue, 30 Aug 2016 02:08:37 +0000

Sometimes stuff sucks. That's just the way it is with art, and life. However, not everything that sucks is as bad as everything else that sucks. Sometimes things are actually kind of OK in spite of some major flaws. Other times still, things are actually sort of good, and get a bum rap due to extenuating circumstances. Having said that, some things are just ass, end of story. So where does Sword for Truth fall within this spectrum? Maybe we'll tell you… or maybe this podcast, like so many other things, will just suck.

Jumper Cables isn't feeling so good. So it should come as no surprise that he wasn't able to come up with anything especially poignant, or even relevant regarding this weeks episode.

The Oldtaku Connection Episode 19: Tekken: The Motion Picture

Sat, 30 Apr 2016 18:21:52 +0000

Since the beginning of history, people have fought in the name of God, bending to the invented demands of their fickle deity, and screaming for righteousness. They wantonly spill the blood of their enemies, as well as their own. The purpose behind this bloodshed, however, goes beyond simple explanations of religion or notions of justice. The truth is buried deep within those who wage the wars. Since the birth of this planet, a memory has become deeply engraved onto the genes of all living things. A memory of aggression as a means of survival, a memory of fighting. Humans seek to defend their actions in the name of truth. The act of fighting is itself a true act. Without this truth, the fighter will perish. To learn the way, ask your own flesh and blood, because one's flesh is the door to the truth. To master the way, ask your own ken, or fist, because complete knowledge of one's flesh, blood and fist is what creates one's Tekken. And Tekken is the key to life!
