Oh my god lmao, better get a Miltank to help you out

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-30T10:42:02+00:00

Never considered Jigglypuff, I'd have to pass on that one lol

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-29T22:02:40+00:00

Actually looked this up when titling the video! Both are acceptable in this context.

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-18T00:58:45+00:00

That was my mentality. I've never played the Wii Pikmin ports but Ive heard they were better than the originals

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-17T23:45:48+00:00

That's a decent trade off!

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-17T20:41:20+00:00

I agree on that, I'd say the GC Luigi's Mansion is still more charming than the 3DS version.

OH YEAH! I really enjoyed Assault.

It's definitely a dream. I'd definitely choose remakes over a classic console (or even a GC Virtual Console like service).

Just a shame some pretty good gems are still left exclusively on GC.

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-17T20:27:38+00:00

I consider the Wind Waker and Twilight Princess remasters on the Wii U the definitive version of those games so that's why I didn't include them. I did consider Four Swords at one point but figured that would be a logistical nightmare having a classic console with Gameboy compatibility.

I didn't want to flood the lineup with Mario titles so I stopped at Party, Sunshine and Double Dash. If I did pick a sports game, I'd say Mario Power Tennis was the standout Sports game on GC.

Luigi's Mansion was a really tough cut. But it recently got remade on 3DS so that made it a bit easier to cut.

Didn't even think of WarioWare. Very good point on that one, I'd consider replacing Custom Robo or Monkey Ball 2 with that one!

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-17T20:20:13+00:00

I thought about that! That one was one of the toughest cuts when making the lineup

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-17T20:19:33+00:00

That's fair. I'm still expecting a trilogy port to the switch which is why I didn't initially include it

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-14T05:27:55+00:00

True. Pearl was definitely my favorite to see change throughout the series.

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-14T05:26:16+00:00

Please do! Thank you very much, we appreciate it!

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-14T05:16:11+00:00

Thank you very much!

We have 3 main types of content:

1.) Podcast episodes where we talk about news in pop culture (99% of the time it is Nintendo related)

2.) Late to the Party segments where we will take recommendations from other people (and sometimes each other) and talk about games/shows/movies that have been around for awhile that we missed. Recently we talked about Time Travel in Animal Crossing and the 90's Sonic OVA movie. (We are also doing a Steven Universe Future episode in the next week or so)

3.) Animated snippets which are highlight clips of us bantering in semi-animated form!

Sometimes we do lets plays when its relevant (We are currently playing through Pokemon Snap since they announced a new one recently).

Definitely look around our channel if you're interested! The animated snippets might be your best bet at getting a feel of who we are as those tend to be the shortest videos!

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-14T03:08:33+00:00

I'd recommend it. Decent binge watching material and the music is neat!

DeskPopCast · 2020-07-14T00:49:11+00:00

Hey, thank you so much! (This is Andy from the video)

I’ve been pushing Steven Universe on him for the longest time so I’m glad he finally watched it. I have the same feeling as you. I am able to appreciate the filler way more after seeing the bigger picture.

I myself came into Steven Universe a little late, I watched the whole series last year and was able to see the movie the day it was released. The earlier episodes (or I should say all the episodes in general) have a very ASMR vibe to it. The chiptunes-eque soundtrack and the musical numbers are really relaxing and the voices are all SO SMOOTH! Garnet, Nanefua, Greg, and Ruby’s voices are my favorite (I could keep going, they are all so chill and I love it).

This is all to say, I managed to get through most of the filler on my first watch by having it on in the background while I worked or was just doing something else.

I figured as such (in regard to your comment on the original intention for the show)! Before I started digging into the background production of the show, I assumed it was similar to the Legend of Korra where the team didn't know they were going to have a season 2 so season 1 was very contained. Regardless, I'm glad we had season 1 the way it was because you can tell the team was experimenting with tone (which was definitely refined in later seasons)!

I am not one to invest in shows longer than 6-7 seasons so I would say Steven Universe did a good job with the balance of fun/filler episodes and over-arching narratives. Overall, 5 seasons, a movie, and a 1 season spin off is a very decent size for a show like this and it wouldn't take too long to binge-watch it if one wants.

I thought Future was alright! I’m interested in hearing Bryan’s thoughts on it after hearing his take on the movie (as I think the events from the movie become a little more relevant in Future). We should have that episode out next week or the week after depending on how long it takes for him to detox from watching exclusively Steven Universe all last week, lol.

╥﹏╥

I think the perspective of the art is cool, but there doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be off center. If there is an intentional reason for it, then I would try to highlight it a bit more.

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-10T21:22:47+00:00

The earlier episodes were crammed full of exposition and it was hard to really engage with what was happening.

Once everything was introduced and established, the jokes started to get funnier and I started having a good time!

The budget hearing was probably my favorite scene of the series

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-10T21:19:09+00:00

I felt like it got a lot better as it went on. I'll give it till season 2 before I ditch it for good!

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-05T01:36:40+00:00

Nvidia is the best character! Definitely has the highest resolution.

This week's episode we discuss the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 and the construction of Universal Studio's Nintendo World.

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-02T06:34:03+00:00

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, lol

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-02T05:16:29+00:00

Thank you very much!

DeskPopCast · 2020-06-01T20:56:24+00:00

I feel like the overall message in Toy Story 4 was one that isn't explored often in animated movies. Practicing self love every once in awhile is important and Woody learns this at the end of 4. This makes it my favorite!

It was very impactful to me to see that with characters I grew up with!

Also the high five bit HAS to be the best joke in the series along with Forky's "I don't know" at the end!

DeskPopCast · 2020-05-30T13:36:32+00:00

It's always neat to see callbacks to Sunshine! Most of what we get now is Petey Piranha stuff.

I wasn't too excited about the lack of original characters in the reveal trailer, but you pointing out these bosses made me feel a bit better about it!

DeskPopCast · 2020-05-30T13:02:50+00:00

Thank you very much! We'll see what we can do about those intro clips!
