Final Fantasy XIII-2: Different Verse or Same as the First?

This is a review piece I wrote as part of a job application so I can't sell it, but I figure I should post it while it's still relevant. So if you're waiting for the video review on Final Fantasy XIII-2, maybe this will tide you over.

The Out-Cast: Episode 21 - Final Fantasy Type 0 and Uncharted 3

This Out-Cast was sceduled to have a very special 4th chair guest but instead of that, we found our selves down by 2! So what you get is an Out-Cast unlike any other. Me, Gwyn, and a complete lack of time limits. This cast clocks in at three-and-a-half hours, so I hope you all enjoy!

Can't Get Enough Amano Artwork?

Click here for the 20 pictures cut from my article on @GamePro covering Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D artist Amano Yoshitaka's 2011 exhibition that I have uploaded to facebook for you all to see.

Of course, my editor and friend of the podcast, Kat Bailey, chose all the best pictures for the article itself so be sure to check out those aditional 10 pictures here.

The Out-Cast: Episode 20 - Tokyo Game Show 2011

Well, TGS 2011 has come and gone, but we're still here... well, most of us anyway. A scant few days after returning to Japan Gwyn is off again hopping across the world. He had this to say:

Hey there Out-Cast listeners! The podcast you are about to listen to was
edited on a plane. Unfortunately, as a result, we don’t have any music, but . . .
on A PLANE!

Feel free to take a moment to dwell upon just how awesome that
is. A plane. That’s possibly even more awesome than editing something on a boat.
And speaking of boats, there’s quite a bit of boat discussion to be had this
episode, along with some chat about a tiny little event that seems to have
almost slipped by us unnoticed . . . TGS 2011.

So here it is at long last. The Out-Cast’s TGS 2011 Special. Enjoy it
however you can. Preferably on a boat.

Or even A PLANE!

So kick back and listen . Oh and this time we have added ambiance as my local community celebrates a festival right outside my front door. So if you liked the sounds of the bar last time, get ready to rock out to some serious taiko drumming!

The Out-Cast: Episode 19 - What's the Happs Special... WTF?!?

With Gwyn out of the country and a myriad of technical difficulties I was supprised when what showed up in my inbox but a new Out-Cast ready to go. Gwyn had this to say about it:

Hey there everyone! Gwyn here, posting this from an undisclosed secret location.
We have had a list of technical issues with this episode of the podcast
thats extreme even for us. But despite these, and despite being literally an
ocean apart, the Crew has managed to get some new content together, so please
bear with us through the technical hiccups because I think you'll enjoy what
we've scavanged up. You'll thrill to Kyle's description of his theatrical-sized
'chainsaw', gasp at special guest Daniel feits longest use of expletives ever
recorded, be shocked at Richards Skype connection, and slowly back away from
Gwyn's attempts to record at 11pm on his way home from birthday drinks while
consuming....more birthday drinks.

Next stop - TGS!

So long story short we lost an entire Mailbag but luckily, friend of the Out-Cast Dan Feit was on hand to pick up the slack on a short stop-over in Tokyo. Enjoy!
