Gimmick Awards 2021 – Yaku of the Year Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/11

The difference between Chinese and Japanese, aka "Riichi" mahjong, is the concept of the Yaku. Basically, it's a bunch of special forms your hand can take that allow you to call a win, and give you extra points. As a bunch of newbies to the scene, we have strong feelings about which ones are best. So Nick is gonna join us to figure it out. The Nominees Are: Chiitoitsu Toitoihou Riichi Iipeiko Rinshan Kaihou Sanshouku Doujun Ryuuiisou Pinfu Kokushi Musou Nanboku Sensou The Groose is Loose Open

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Best DLC/Add-on Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/10

There are a lot of bad things about the way technology has allowed games to be changed. Gacha mechanics. Live service hellscapes. Free to play torture. Patching out things that are fun because they're not what the devs "intended." But also? There's DLC, or other add-ons. And sometimes those add-ons really freakin good. Let's celebrate the ones that are. The Nominees Are: Patch 1.28 (DragonBall FighterZ) Washizu Mahjong/Darkness Mahjong (Mahjong Soul) Title Updates (Monster Hunter Rise) FEATURING

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Best New Character Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/10

We're pretty heavily invested in good writing in games around here. This also leads to a love of a well-written and rendered character. But we're also kinda queer dopes, so sometimes we just love a handsome boy. Listen, people be containing multitudes. The Nominees Are: Cole (Deathloop) Julianna (Deathloop) Veronica Villensey (Overboard!) Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) Nagi Usui (NEO The World Ends With You) Nahobino (Shin Megami Tensei V) Rivet (Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart) Herlock

Plenty of good Gundam plastic model kits, or gunpla for short, came out this year. Let's decide the best ones. The Nominees Are: MG Eclipse Gundam RG Hi-Nu Gundam MG Ginn RG Zeong HG Xi Gundam Full Mechanics Calamity Gundam HGBB Gundam Barbataurus HGBB Gundam Command 00 Qan[T] HGBB Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom HGUC Nightingale That's our first category

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Biggest Disappointment Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/09

As much as we love surprises, it can swing very hard the other way. Sometimes you are all primed to love a game and it just whiffs, hard. It is therapeutic to vent your frustration, anger, and sadness, but at the end of the day, it just sucks to feel like this. These are the Biggest Disappointments of 2021. The Nominees Are: Disgaea 6 Disgaea RPG Pac-Man 99 The Medium New Pokemon Snap Mario Golf: Super Rush Twelve Minutes Balan Wonderworld Nickelodeon All-Stars Brawl MLB The Show 21 Myst

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Stream Friend Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/08

When you start streaming, you quickly learn that there is a difference between a game that's good and a game that's good to stream. Certainly, lots of good games also stream well. But when you try streaming one of your favs and realize it's no fun to watch, that's an eye-opening moment. The games on this list are not going to be nominated for any other category, but when we streamed them in 2021, we had a hell of a good time. The Nominees Are: Lifeline Drakengard Hardspace:

2022/02/08

Welcome to Scanline Media's 2021 Gimmick Awards! We're starting off with a favorite of ours.

Code Fairy Volume 3 Roundtable

Scanline Talks ·

2021/12/23

Now we bring things to a close. The curtains fall on the first single player Gundam game in years, with a conclusion that leaves us feeling a little mixed. Without a doubt, Code Fairy as a whole has been a great experience, and a game we'd both recommend. But it doesn't TOTALLY stick the landing, in ways that are a bit confusing. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar.

Code Fairy Volume 2 Roundtable

Scanline Talks ·

2021/12/01

As it turns out, Volume 2 was so much of a banger that we wanted to make this a three parter after all. Alma's absence is our gain as this second part starts with a bang, giving us new mission types, new perspectives, and new mobile suits, only to reunite us with the lucky redheaded newtype for a thrilling conclusion. We'll be back for Volume 3, which I'm sure will end perfectly happily and nothing bad will happen. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar.

2021/11/17

Jen and Six both have caught the fae fever! In the wake of Volume 1 of the episodic Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Code Fairy, a single player Gundam story about an all-girls squad in the One Year War, the two simply had to convene to talk about. Whether we'll come back to talk about Volume 2, or just wait til the end to record again is unclear at this time, but we definitely want to talk more Code Fairy!

Metroid Dread Spoilercast

2021/10/20

After nearly two decades, Metroid Dread has arrived. Once little more than a rumor and an easter egg in a Metroid Prime scan, not only is it here, but we've had time to beat it, ponder it, and now assemble to talk about it. Six is joined by friend of the site Lee to discuss the latest Metroid game. You can find Lee on Twitter at @UnstableArk, and Six at @sixdettmar.

The Sword Number

Scanline Talks ·

2021/10/19

This is all Marth's fault. Smash used to be a good, wholesome game of classic Nintendo characters. Now it's all, waifu, sempai, uwu, nakama, airdash, triangle jump, fuzzy guard, yaoi paddle, BL, glomping... it's lost. It's all because of how many swords are in the game. ...Wait. How many swords are in the game? Let's figure that out.

The Goku Number

Scanline Talks ·

2021/10/06

A lot of text has been typed about how many Gokus are in Dragon Ball FighterZ. It's a lot, of that we can be certain. But there are different numbers generated, with different logic and methodology. Six and Kyrie are here to tell you the REAL skinny on "The Goku Number." Recorded live in person, so it's a LITTLE echo-y, but it's otherwise good sound quality.

Just because it's a relatively quiet period doesn't mean there aren't new releases to talk about! Jen, Kyrie, and Six are here to talk about the classic mystery solving of Famicom Detective Club, Atlus's overpriced Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne rerelease, and the baffling nature of Miitopia.

2021/05/23

Experts of the Taroverse, assemble! Six was originally booked to host this podcast, but as discussions proceeded in the buildup to recording, it became obvious that they were just not up to the task. Instead, friend of the site Ryan has graciously taken the wheel to guide a podcast on the Drakengard Legacy with Jen and Kat. Buckle in, they're going DEEP. If you want to find our hosts on Twitter, you can find Ryan at @bluestrose430, Jen at @jbu3, and Kat at @SimulationKat. Kat is also a streamer,
