Episode 15 - My Little Poddy, Nerdship is Magic 2013

Pulse!n is back with Episode 15!

Josh and Nick are here to run down the news of the week which included Tokyo's first public manga "library", the Naruto manga coming to an end, a look at Nintendo's 3DS XL, the confirmed release date for Skyrim Dawnguard, the Ringbow Bluetooth gaming peripheral, if Phase Change Memory will replace Solid State Drives, and if there was really a need for Google to call Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

During the break, Josh gives you your anime and manga releases for the week and they're aren't really that many this time around

When we return, Kenco from Radio Under the Influence stops by to talk Magic 2013 Core Set spoilers, his history with magic, and how the game has changed. A big segment here, but lots of nerd talk and reminiscing that any magic player should enjoy.

Kenco also reminds us of Operation Supply Drop. A charity which donates video games to our armed forces. You can check them out and/or donate here: Operation Supply Drop

Nick and Josh then do a Q&A style review for not one, not two, but three new fan music albums that dropped dealing with Mega Man and Final Fantasy.

The first album is called History Repeating: Blue by The Megas which you can pick up for $10 USD at the following link: http://www.themegas.com/get-equipped-with-stuff/. Note that any pre-orders will not only get you the CD, but also an immediate digital download.

The second is OverClocked Remix's 35th Album Project: Final Fantasy Random Encounter which is a melt-your-face-off style metal album that deals with the original Final Fantasy. If metal isn't your thing, the album also features some techno, chiptune, and dubstep music as well. You can grab that at: http://encounter.ocremix.org/.

The third album is called Rockman World from ChaosLightBlue. The album covers one song each of the five Mega Man games for Game Boy, or as it's known as in Japan, Rockman World. The album is done in a trance style techo that does really well to capture the feeling of the original songs and put their own spin on it. You can grab that one for yourself for free over at: www.bluechaoslight.com/releases/special/rockman-world/.

Also be sure to sign up for our new forums! Mike Mettetal of Manage Way Hosting Solutions was kind enough to set up some discussion forums for us so we can interact with the listeners of Pulse!n even more!

Thank you to everyone for your patience and we look forward to interacting with all of our listeners!

Pulse!n Welcomes Managed Way Hosting Solutions as Newest Affiliate

As you know, we had opened our forums, however, they were a little cumbersome and within a few hours, we were approached by Kenco of Radio Under the Influence and Mikey Mettatal of Managed Way Hosting Solutions about offering a more proper discussion forum.

We here gladly accepted Mikey's help and at the very least as a thank you for his generosity, we made the decision to add Managed Way Hosting Solutions as our newest affiliate.

About the Forums

I went ahead and took down the discussion forums for the time being. Mikey, the webmaster for our affiliate Radio Under the Influence (http://www.radioinfluence.com), has offered to create forums for us. Ones that won't have to deal with annoying ads or anything of the such.

In the end we will have forums, but it will be a bit of a delay. So if you were planning on registering, hold off for just a bit more and we'll get this up and running for you guys.

So a huge thanks to Mikey Mettetal from Radio Under the Influence for doing this for us! It is much appreciated!

Pulse!n Episode 14 - Epic Square-Tek Engines Go Berserk

Josh and Nick are back with your weekly dose of Pulse!n Radio!

This week, on the show, Kenco stops by to tell us about a charitable organization called Operation Supply Drop that supplies video games to our armed forces. It's a very cool cause that all us geeks and non-geeks should get behind. If you are interested in more information on that, as well as possibly making a donation, you can check it out for yourself over at the following link:

Operation Supply Drop

Nick and Josh then wonder what was up with Metrocon and explain how Andrew was not successful at his time there with Pulse!n

We then break down the news of the week which includes more proof that Peter Molyneux has lost his mind, Japan stepping up their privacy protection, Blizzard giving away gifts to Diablo III gamers, Star Wars The Old Republic possibly going Free to Play, Verizon introducing FiOS internet faster than lightning, and some Microsoft news about Xbox 720, OnLive, and their new Surface tablet.

After your Anime and Manga releases, Josh and Nick return to discuss three new gaming engines... the CryENGINE 3 from CryTek, the Luminous engine from Square-Enix, and the Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games. Which one proved to be their favorite?

After that, Josh and Nick take a look at first Berserk movie in a three movie trilogy in our typical question and answer review style! We then end the show by paying homage to the original Berserk anime with the song of the week, "Tell Me Why" by PenPals
