e079: No Seriously They Made Star Wars Episode VII
A heaping helping of The Force Awakens with a side of Final Fantasy in this 100+ minute monster.
Notable timestamps:
0:00:00 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens; it's a movie that we watched! What did we think of it?
0:33:01 - Voice mail from Meowth (http://twitter.com/meowth900) and Chris (http://gamenpals.blogspot.ca/) on Yuki Yuna Is A Hero, Dave's infuriating sub/dub preferences, yet more Star Wars, Amazon and Apple's potential entry into the game console market, unlikely real time strategy (RTS) games, and if Final Fantasy VII Remake means Square Enix is desperate.
1:14:42 - A sad and angry Carlos talks about the Steam port of Final Fantasy VI, one of the trashiest, laziest ports of any game he's ever played.
1:27:22 - Final Fantasy XV Episode Duscae! Carlos is back on board after giving the demo another chance.
1:31:40 - Dave got an XBox One. We talk about the quirky (read: incompetently laid out) interface. Also why in the hell do XBone controllers not come with battery packs?

Notable timestamps:
0:00:55 - Carlos and Dave talk about how "Somebody That I Used to Know" is the WORST SONG EVER MADE AND IN FACT SOME SORT OF PUNISHMENT FOR HUMANITY'S SINS. Also rap talk and how it related to Li Syaoron from Cardcaptor Sakura.

0:17:55 - Final Fantasy 7 Remake looks good, actually. (Note that we recorded this before we heard the remake will be released in multiple episodes; we'll have more thoughts on that next podcast.) Carlos says horrible things about Tetsuyo Nomura's mother?
0:26:11 - More about PSX.
0:32:12 - Crowdfunded games talk, specifically Psychonauts 2 and Indivisible.
0:46:27 - Gears of War reminiscing. Remember when Boomers were scary?

[Review] Gravity Falls season 2 ep. 18
"Weirdmageddon Part 1" hits like a freight train with tons of scary, horrific fun. Dave buys in, but why is Carlos being such a freaking buzzkill?
(An aside: one of the co-hosts, Carlos, has been doing a podcast serial for 8 weeks now, every Friday, called Tales From The Orbis Aetherum. Carlos would sure appreciate it if you took a listen and gave him feedback! Find it at http://orbisaetherum.com.)

Digimon Tri First Few Minutes Impressions
Clip of the first few minutes is floating around the web. We got this particular one from a YouTube user by the name of "diginami Tail" who you should go follow:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6DtBi2iQ4nTgrod-5P9o-Q
Used without permission because this clip is Toei's; it's their material that we're commenting on under Fair Use.
Note: the title card of the video at the beginning says we're making no money off of this. As of January 31, 2016, that remains true. Carlos has recently set up a Patreon tip jar to cover editing overhead and hosting (as a backup in case of unwarranted copyright takedowns). We can't promise that, via said tip jar or other means, we won't financially benefit from this particular video. Keep in mind that it's still Toei's footage, which we're using under Fair Use, and unless Fair Use changes, we're in the clear, legally/morally. This warning supercedes the title card's.

*HUGE SPOILERS; DON'T WATCH UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE SEEN THE EPISODE!* "Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future" arrives at long last, and our heroes are at odds in a rather well-done, believable way. Which is just the opening a certain dream demon has been waiting for...

"Roadside Attraction" isn't filler; it's an important development episode for both Dipper and his relationship with Stan. It's also pretty damn funny.

e075: This Podcast Has Been Taken Down Due to a Copyright Claim By Nintendo
The title gives away one of the big topics. Others include racism in Texas, the 2015 Tokyo Game Show, and the disappointing (but still fun) Super Mario Maker.
Notable timestamps:
0:08:20 - God damn it Nintendo why are you coming down hard on romhacks and speedruns? Do you not like free advertising for your stuff?
0:24:35 - Pokemon Go is going to get people killed, for real.
0:28:21 - Washington state court orders restitution for failed Kickstarter campaign, which basically guts crowdfunding in Washington state, and maybe elsewhere. That's bad.
0:31:41 - Tokyo Game Show 2015! New Gravity Rush! More from Square Enix! Konami might have gutted itself!
0:50:29 - Carlos played a bunch of Super Mario Maker. He is both delighted and disappointed. Find out why.

0:20:38 - New Amiibo: Shovel Knight! ... Pardon?
0:43:33 - Jam and Rainbow Mika return to their respective fighting game series. So we obviously opine on sexualized women in fighters, then transition into talk of Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator.
0:57:47 - One cool thing, an idea blatantly lifted from the Scriptnotes podcast (http://johnaugust.com/podcast). We each talk about something cool/positive. Dave brings up WoW Tokens, how they let you buy game time with in-game currency. Carlos brings up Andrea Ritsu (@andrearitsu on Twitter) for cool Let's Plays.

e071: We Talk Stuff of Things and the Dudes That Do That
Dave and Carlos have an impromptu discussion about controversies in both video games and the real world. Also, Dave gets annoyed. Very annoyed.
Notable timestamps:
0:02:43 = Marriage equality in the US. Go US! Also Greek austerity, the potentially (perpetually?) crumbling EU, and "southern pride."

[Review] Gravity Falls season 2 eps. 1-11
We've seen up to season 2 episode 11 of Gravity Falls and had Anime Raves recorded. We wanted to release them all before the new episode later this month, and we realized we didn't have too much content in them. So this is the second of two "omnibus" Anime Raves for Gravity Falls (the first was released earlier today); this one covers season 2 up until episode 11. And with this, we're caught up!

0:04:15 - The E3 talk begins! Carlos was generally unimpressed with both E3 and everyone's preparedness for the podcast. Dave liked a bunch of it. Po and Kiki enjoyed hearing about the wacky world that was the Square-Enix presentation. And a whole bunch more.

TFGT/CDAR News, Updates, What's Going On, etc.
Hello everyone! Carlos here, from the award-winning [citation needed] podcast Two Fat Guys Talk and Time magazine's "most influential new video series of our time" [again this is going to require a freakin' citation] Carlos and Dave Anime Rave. I'm the loud over-talkative one that hates everything you love.
I want to talk a bit about Two Fat Guys Talk (TFGT, the bestest most awesomest abbreviation ever) and the Carlos and Dave Anime Rave (CDAR, possibly a better abbreviation). Specifically, our plans, the status of specific projects, and so on in that fashion until some semblance of an informative post takes shape. Here goes.
Right now, I'm in between day jobs, which means I should have tons of time to edit and put out new content (I do the editing and publishing), but I don't. It's a combination of many things: looking for new work, working on my spec scripts and manuscripts (there's a reason I blow a lot of hot air about any sort of fiction), familial/social obligations, and actually spending some time consuming the very entertainment I hope to be involved in making someday.
That's why you haven't been seeing new content every single day, though I think I've been pretty good at updating every week or so. But the CDAR backlog has grown rather large, and combined with wanting to put out videos on new shows reasonably quickly, I'm tailoring my approach to tackling the work ahead of me.

[Review] Sword Art Online eps. 1-2
Carlos and Dave finally upload one of their older raves (possibly even their first) that they never got around to actually putting up: Sword Art Online episodes 1 and 2. It starts off strong. Spoiler alert: Dave felt it stayed there, but Carlos did not.

MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES, though, so watch with care!

e068: Sixty-Eight? The Sixty-Eighth Episode of the Podcast!
Today Carlos and Dave work without an outline and talk about various, um, things.
Notable timestamps:
0:02:30 - Mighty No. 9 demo impressions.
0:09:20 - Elder Scrolls 6: Valenwood talk. Just how is that pesky word pronounced?
0:14:33 - Does Mortal Kombat really need Fatalities to stay relevant and cool and hype and whatnot? We talk about this for quite a bit, including crossover implications. Also assorted fighting game topics for conversation.
0:41:43 - E3 2015 conference predictions!
0:49:56 - What’s a podcast without voicemails from Meowth (http://twitter.com/meowth900)? Not much of a podcast I’d say! She talks about anime/manga, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, school assignments, Mario Kart DLC, Patreon, and a bunch more.

e067: Lame No-Topic-Cast? Absurdist Ramblings Save From Obscurity!
Today Carlos, Dave, Kiki, and Po return with no real topic in mind. They talk about a bunch of stuff and answer five voicemails from Meowth (http://twitter.com/meowth900) and one from Rowan (http://twitter.com/link6616). It starts off slow but ramps up into our usual uncomfortable high.
Notable moments:
0:04:30 - Carlos confirmed slowest Civilization 5 player.
0:36:27 - ReBoot (the cartoon) and Friends (the sitcom) crossover.
0:48:45 - Dave thinks Gary Stu is a voice actor when he hears Meowth talk about Kirito from Sword Art Online. No, really, this is what Dave actually believes.
1:21:57 - Bambi (Disney) and Final Fantasy Tactics (the one with Ramza) crossover.
1:23:22 - Carlos lets loose with quite possibly the worst Popeye impression in the history of history.
