WAHP 13 - podcast dedicated to Japanese games


The latest episode of Warning! A Huge Podcast. More details after the jump!

As always it continues to gain EXP, improving with each episode - especially with the recent level-up which yielded a new official website. This episode had an excellent 2-sided 3-way debate regarding Tokyo's new laws on anime/manga and how they might affect games, with each speaker making some good points. They also mention HG101, specifically our Japanese PC and Kenji Eno articles.

The only small criticism I have for WAHP is that there were lots of comments saying "we could dedicate a whole show to that subject". Enough procrastinating gentlemen. You have the knowledge and an audience, it should (in theory) be easy.

This is probably my last entry until new year. Enjoy the holidays everyone!

  1. The criticism about our "we'll cover that later!"-ness is indeed warranted, and was something I was thinking about myself when preparing the letters section. I think it just ends up being more of a case that we have so much to talk about for any one show that we don't have time to get to everything we want to do - and, unfortunately, it's easier to cover topics which don't have a shelf life than it is to cut news which does.

    Know for sure that I'm well aware of this issue, however, and hopefully we can work out better planning for our shows so that we start getting to some of the things we keep promising to cover at some point.

  3. If somebody would be crazy enough to transcribe 3+ hours of discussion, I would certainly support such a person. While also finding them to be utterly mad.

  4. I too love the commentary in these podcasts, but listening is very difficult for me. I am hard of hearing. If ever there were to be written transcripts of these releases I would be very grateful. But then again, that would be a lot of extra work.

  5. I was the one who wrote in about DebuPlus. The Japanese certainly do love their strange hentai fetish games.
