8-4 Play: 09/13/2013

Please stow your laptops and power triangles as we depart for our special 84th (!) episode, with first-blush Monster Hunter 4 and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle, thoughts on Vita TV and the revamped Vita handheld, PS4's rumored headset and virtual lack of games for Japan (or is there?), DQX expansions, and of course, Mighty No. 9! (｀_´)ゞ

Every other week, tune into 8-4 Play for talk about video games, Japan, and Japanese video games, straight from the 8-4 offices in beautiful downtown Tokyo. Hosted by 1UP Japan's own Mark MacDonald, John Ricciardi, and Hiroko Minamoto.

There will be Jojo talk huh? Cool. I got my copy yesterday and, as expected, it's not super great. I think I'll play some while listening to this podcast, as I have been able to get into it a little bit.

Update: This game is a bummer.

Their special 84th episode and it's shorter than a typical one . . . I are disappointed
Oh well, here's to hoping they're saving some talk for the TGS episode! Still the best podcast after the Bombcast!

@fat_tomato: I think they said during the podcast that they may have 2 shows going up during TGS.

and 8-4 takes over as the best podcast on giantbomb.

i love that JJ or Ricardi didn't excessively harp on the negative, they said their pieces that was bothering them in relation to a subject and then didn't excessively harp on it.

Shoemaker should take notes from JJ and Ricardi.

8-4 is very mindful of their audience and they can still just flow naturally,,
