Kupo Talks‪!‬ Mog Knight

Mog Knight has been sick, then busy, then sick again - but that didn't stop us from podcasting (at least prepping for an eventual one). But anyways, in this episode we talk about Avatar: The Last Airbender. Not the 2005. The live-action 2024 one on Netflix. And boy did we have thoughts on it, as fans of the original series.



Spoiler warning - we do talk about all 8 eight episodes, so maybe watch the live action adaptation first. Or not.

New year, new game to talk about! This time, it is Square Enix's "PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo" released on March 8th, 2023. Your lovely hosts have been meaning to play this one, so in our downtime after our end-of-the-year writing show - we did!!



Warning - Spoilers for this game for probably the last 3/4ths of this episode. Kinda the whole thing. But find out our thoughts on this game and why we love/hate it and why you should play it.

Hello, kupo~!! In this episode, we talk about the 4th annual Kupo Writes! Game Awards where we celebrate game experiences (and more!) we had throughout 2023. We mostly talk about the games we didn't have time to award or write about, plus wrapping up with some things we're looking forward to next year. Thanks for a year of moderate achievement and lots of fun times, and hope you stick with us for an even better 2024~.

Ray and Andy are here once more this Thanksgiving season to talk about more games (Twofold, Alan Wake, Half Life), what we watched (Korean Drama about a girlboss crash landing in North Korea), and our main topic of this month: "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off". As fans of both the movie and comics, it was a nice and fun in-depth discussion of how we felt about the new "anime rebuild" version. Let us know how you felt about it too!

After almost a year and 6 months, the boys are back again! Consider this a "season 2" of Kupo Talks~!!



In this episode, we come back home to our virtual podcast studio, de-rusting ourselves and wiping off the cobwebs by just talking about what we've been up to and the games we've been playing as of recent. We have some hot takes, some reasons why we love or dropped some of these games, but ultimately it was just a fun chill talk. Tune in next time for who knows??
