(It has to be pronounced A-OK in order for the joke to work ... which it doesn't).

This week I talk about pandas and their relevance to my gaming purchases, Leggo my Lego, the seeing of the Astro boy movie (because I told you to damn it), and I also review Hakaba Kitaro just in time for Halloween ... next year.

Preamble
Happy Belated Halloween everyone!

Check out this costume.  This could have been me. 

News

Blizzard to add new pets to World of Warcraft.  They cost real money like real pets, but less mess.  
- Here's one in action:



Lego Mario - That's a lot of Lego.  I must have one.
- Here's a previous attempt at Mario in Lego form

- Also, not stop motion but still neat

Astro Boy - the movie not doing so well.  I can't help but think that my review has something to do with the poor sales.  Yes, I'm that delusional.  Check it out if you get a chance. 

Fun video of the Episode:
The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon


Warning: The previous video contains salty language, scenes of violence, and adult situations.  View discretion is advised.

Site News
I have aquired Up a Padddle's first ever site deal!  If you listen to this episode, you will hear a promo code for 5 free Switch Bucks from Playswitch.com.  If you're in the states, I implore you to try it out.  Who knows when I'll be able to secure another promo deal like this.

Also, listen to the Playswitch.com podcast.  Good stuff.

Angry Dome
Audio promos and you, the podcaster. 

Review
Hakaba Kitaro

How can you not want to watch that show after seeing that opening.

If you'd like to learn more about the yokai, check out the following links:

And here's the second costume idea I could have used (Thanks Bob)

The Majestic Tanuki in all its Splendor

Also, there's a special deal from http://playswitch.com waiting for you if you listen to this episode.  Nifty!

Promotional Consideration given to:
Anime World Order - If you get chance (and chances are you have already), listen to their "Old Timers of Anime" segments.  Let it take you back to a time when men were men and the women were too.

As it is, I fear for the otaku of today, what with guys liking moe and girls liking the robit shows.

Eeepers Choice (http://eeeperschoice.com and http://capricorntheater.com) - Yes, I know Eeeper hasn't released an episode of either of his podcasts in quite a while but I decided to play his promo anyway.  After intensive study of mythology, I've come to the conclusion that his podcasts are dead because we don't believe enough.  Clap with me children, Clap! I believe in potatoes!  I believe in potatoes!

If you haven't yet, check out Eeeper's interview with Helen McCarthy.  Good stuff.

And just think, this could be your promo played next episode if you only make it readily available on your site.

Musical accompaniment provided by:
Happy Halloween by Ben Twisted

Thanks for listening!
