Battlecast presented by Meltdown Comics

It's season 7 yay woo rad awesome. After 6 seasons, you don't have time to caps lock exclamations.

Fraggle Rock is rad. It's the battleground. Roger Rabbit (Andy) is classic and awesome. He's a combatant. Buffy (James) was mildly watchable and inexplicably much beloved. She's fightin' too. Battlecastin' time.

ARE YOU READY TO RAAAAAWK???! Us neither.

Warning: Lotsa TV show talk.

Congratulations to us on our 64th episode! It was like two months ago, but now we're finally celebrating it with one of our vaguely famous 'tween season Specials.

It's 4 all time N64 faves: Turok (Dan) vs. Banjo Kazooie (Dirk) vs. James Bond (Andy) vs. Waluigi (James)

It's guest judicated by fantasy novelist and overall man of mystery, Elnath Trev-dawg Shanks of the CurseBorn Sage. He spun the wheel that landed us on Koopa Troopa Beach from Mario Kart 64.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Battlecast?

Warning: Andy sexualizing video game characters again.

It's that magical time of year again where cosplayers roam the streets, and we get drunk and roam the Comic Con floor and say things we'll probably regret later. Later as in now.

It's Dan, Dirk, Andy, James, and Dave with a smattering of battles with people dressed as things.

COMIC CON 2015 WOOOOOOOOO.

Dan - "I'm drunk, James, do you wanna write the copy for this week's episode."

James - "Yesh."

It's that time y'all! Andy brings his pitiful bunch of nobodies: Cthulhu, Gypsi Danger, and Buckaroo Banzai in an attempt to ruin this episode. Dan fronts with his crew: Mad Max (not the cool new one), One of the Battletoads, and the awesome Geralt of Rivia so he can try and seem relevant. James However knows how to pick some characters. James’ posse consists of agent extraordinaire Ari Gold, the unkillable Jason Vorhees, and the granddaddy of them all Mickey Mouse. If James doesn't win this it rigged. Battlecast urbody!!

 

Make sure you've updated to the latest version of Battlecast to avoid compatibility issues.


Warning: Dirk's 5 week plan.

Today on the show James ruins everything. Poor planning on his part left us having to delay for the Battle Royale for which we're all waiting. That'll be next week. In the meantime, we bring you a whole buncha good topics such as Corn Nuts, older ladies, and thoughts on the Oculus Rift.

For the battle itself, Dan and Andy butt their buttheads twice in a row for two quick-fought fights. First it's Zorro (Dan) vs Robin Hood of Men in Tights (Andy), and then it's Parappa the Rapper (Andy) vs Crash Bandicoot (Dan).

All we wanna do is have some fun. Until the sun comes up over Battlecast Boulevard.

Today on the show we welcome esteemed guests and damn fine podcast moguls, Anthony Silva and Ashley Taylor of the Pixelated Geek network. You've probably heard us talk about these two before. They're rad.

Andy wusses out and makes Anthony battle for him (ok really Anthony just wanted to battle. Big time.), and he chose everyone's favorite Street Fighter, Ryu (Anthony4Andy). Dan chose one of his favorite team of NES originating amphibians, The Battletoads (Dan). And what an odd twist of events! We're battling in the completely unexpected floor of E3?!? WHADDUYAH KNOW!!!

Careful of the thorns. Battlecast has a lot of pricks.

Warning: Apple or PC?

Did you guys hear?! Nintendo is going to build a wing at Universal Studios. Whaaaaaaat?

So needless to say, that's our battleground this week. It's cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter (James) vs. this super obscure 80s movie character that Andy apparently is real into all of a sudden, Buckaroo Bonzai (Andy).

Something something something Battlecast.

Warning: Conjecture and hear-say.

Dan's drunk so he's gonne keep this short. Ari Gold (James) from Entourage vs. Harry Hart (Dan) from Kingsman. Two subjectively bomb-ass pieces of fiction. Go watch them. The battleground is Big Trouble in Little China. Andy's on an 80s kick.

Put the lime in the Battlecast and drink it all up.

Warning: Probably more porn talk. Sorry.

WE LOVE ANNEKE!!! Y'know, Dirk's fiance. Also a super heroine that will forever go unnamed. Butt-Stuff Girl! She's on the episode.

This week we do some things. Like eat candy and talk about racism and porn. Sounds boring right? WRONG! Dan is really not sober so he calls in his trusty Dirk to do his bidding. Andy chooses one of the greatest action stars that Gen X never knew it missed, Kung Fury (Andy). Dirk picks the bro-tagonist from the game that everyone is raving about right now, Geralt of Rivia (Dirk) aka The Witcher. James spun the wheel that definitely exists and it put us in Quahog, Rhode Island- the home of the Griffin Family from the ever-polarizing Family Guy.

Ten thousand years in a Battlecast will give you such a crick in the neck! See a chiropractor before symptoms worsen.

Hey you guys! A girl was on the show again!!! However she is married. And she's James's sister. Time for some dirt, right? Mayyyyyybe.

Today's battle pits the famous video game character from Kingdom Hearts, Mickey Mouse (James) vs. that dragon thing from those Peter Jackson movies, Smaug (Andy). Dan just watched Chappie, so we added Neill Blomkamp's South Africa/District 9 to the wheel and whadduyuh know, it picked itself.

4 out of 5 dentists choose Battlecast. And the 5th one brushes with baking soda. Ew.

Warning: TOO MUCH "HOMEWARD BOUND" TALK IS THE EXACT RIGHT AMOUNT
