They should still have it archived on twitch. It's a chaotic mess due to a snowballing cavalcade of tech issues but the do manage to get about a half hour or so of the first chunk done.
@cikame: Did Pacer not do it for you either? That was probably the closest we’ll get with the antigrav racing since it was former Wipeout devs making it.
Anybody know what they're saying at the beginning. yi-ma-sha-mi-say? You'd think that they'd kind of revist what they're saying. Kind of like how Waypoint never visited why they chose the track "miss you.' I think 95% of the podcasters just record without any regard to their audience.

My very, very, veeeeery basic understanding of Japanese from high school translates it as a kind of 'welcome to my store' style greeting. If you've ever gotten the chance to play a game set in Japan where you go to a convenience store, you'll get greeted with this. I know it the stores in Yakuza and Persona do this if you'd like a very clear clip of it.
The wildest thing to me was that apparently the game receives seasonal updates ala a small live game where they've been adding new characters to expand the story. I found this out because I bought the game on Ps4 recently and while playing through it bumped into the small owl, bird neighbor character for the first time. It seemed so strange to me to be like 'here's the next incredibly sad story of a person you helped cross over to the side, coming this fall!' As a standalone story I thought it mostly worked but its a very fine line to tread before someone will start reading it as being emotionally manipulative and I think that line is different for each person. The animation in that game is incredible though.
You make a sandwich out of the ends and very loudly go around the house reminding everyone else that you are bearing that cross for them and that they are cowards.
I would not be shocked if Morbid Angel's Illud Divinum Insanus winds up showing up here. The much hyped return of a former frontman to a landmark death metal group whose first handful of releases has inspired many and that album is what comes out.
A dull slog whose best songs are misinformed experiments that wouldn't be too bad on a b-tier Rob Zombie disc and whose worst tracks turned the band into basic cartoon characters. I saw them tour for this album and as much as people give Kip Winger shit for doing ballet spins on stage or pick on Ratt's Juan Crouicier for being a goofball with his stage moves while paying bass, David Vincent was just as big of a ham on that cycle, right down to wearing outfits that had to have come from his time with the Genitorturers. I think the metal world is already at the point where its just pretending like the album didn't happen, especially after the Morbid Angel camp wound up recruiting the more comforting auto-mechanic outfit wearing Steve Tucker back into the fold and put out the Mozart by comparison Kingdoms Disdained. But wow, do I remember the reaction to this one being virulent when it first hit.
Just a complete misfire. On top of this, they had the gall to have a two and a half hour industrial/electronica remix album of this thing come out a year later and it may be one of the most difficult listens out there because now not only do you get not-great songs, you get them multiple times and in multiple forms and there is absolutely no saving it. It's the auditory equivalent of trying to walk through a tar pit. I'd suggest they tackle that instead if I didn't expect that I'd have six angry people booking flights across the country to kick my ass after they went through it.
