Anime Voice Talent Highlight #4: Yasuo Yamada

#4: Yasuo Yamada It may seem silly to highlight a voice talent who's known for playing one particular role, but when this particular VA's performance in the role is so iconic, and has spanned decades in that role, it's perfectly appropriate to me. Especially when the character he's known for playing is a favorite anime character: Arsène Lupin III! How do I describe Yasuo Yamada's Lupin voice? It's hard, because his Lupin adapts to the tone of the feature. The first television series had a bit of a darker tone to it than the rest of the franchise, much like the manga it was spawned from, until later episodes. Lupin's voice changed subtly throughout the show, but Yamada always played him cooly but with a bit of playfulness.

DBZ Swag for Sale

A fellow /toy/man is trying to sell of his massive collection of Dragon Ball figures and assorted merchandise. Since we get a fair share of DBZ fans I offered to help him spread the word. Take a look at his collection...

Lost Finale – What Really Happened (Updated)

There are a lot of stories going around, even on “popular” media outlets, that claim to explain the Lost series finale. Many of them, I believe, are wrong. Here’s my interpretation. Oh, yeah, this thing is pure spoiler. If there’s an issue with that I suggest you get around to watching the finale or get off the bloody internet. As I see it, everything that we watched on the island happened. It’s a real island, out there somewhere, that’s been a source of conflict for so many people. Oceanic 815 did crash land there, Dharma existed, the Dharma Initiative set up camp there to perform experiments, etc. etc. The sideways universe we’ve been following, that’s some sort of purgatory. Everyone there is dead and have yet to move on for whatever reason. Everything is pretty much laid out by Christian to Jack.

Halo Reach: Panoramas

5/5/17 Update - I was asked earlier in the year to get these uploaded again. They've been sort of sitting around in my Flickr gallery but this page hasn't been updated to make 'em viewable in a long while. If you click the images it should pop up in full size. If there are issues with that just click the Flickr link below. I hope you enjoy!


*I'm updating this post to include new panoramas from the recent release of Halo Reach. All of the panos I made from the beta can still be viewed at the bottom of the page or in the gallery.* Below are some panoramic images I've create from Halo Reach screen shots. The landscapes which Bungie brings to the table are too epic to leave on the TV screen. As I create new panos I'll update below. Enjoy!

 

Spoiler Warning! From this point on, one might consider these images spoilers.
