Skullkast

We break another record--our longest podcast ever. Nomad joins us for a chat from the comfort of his automobile. Also, Griffith gets attacked by a giant rat. In this episode, we talk about less prominent characters in the series, including Zepek, Zondark, Boscone, and Mozgus' crew of outcasts. We also conduct a "live" viewing of the new Berserk movie dub trailer, and talk about the third movie trailer, and what that means for the end of this movie trilogy.

We discuss the biggest battles in the series, and how Miura manages to mix things up by playing with realistic and fantastic elements. We also talk about the best weapons in video game history and what protects Aaz while he's sleeping.

We talk about the mysteries of the Idea of Evil and The Dark Knight Rises. We also go through a TON of member questions.

Episode 330 is reviewed and we discuss where things might go now that the flashback is wrapped up. We also discuss what we've been playing, Walter's favorite video game of all time, the best Zelda and Mario game, and also answer a few member questions.

We talk about Berserk Episode 329 and how this flashback may tie into the big picture ahead for the series. Then we dive into the bad reviews Movie 2 has been getting. And topping things off, we give our impressions on Prometheus.

We celebrate the release of Berserk Episode 328 by spending about 30 minutes dissecting it, and why it was a treat for Berserk fans. Also we review the highlights and lowlights of E3 2012 and why Max Payne 3 is awesome.

Guests DirectDK and Rhombaad share their perspectives on Berserk Movie 1. We also talk about the upcoming episode, confirmed to be a 3-part flashback of Guts' youth. All that plus some E3 talk and extended outtakes.

The Skullknight.NET admins share their opinions on the recent Berserk animated movie, and folks it's not pretty.

Walter, Aaz and Griffith talk about Lost Children and why Walter is such an idiot for not liking this section of the series as much as he used to. We also sit down to talk about what a refreshingly entertaining movie Avengers was, and our experiences with Diablo III thus far.

In this episode we tackle the mystery of V O I D, and also reveal Walter's shameful past, which was terribly deVOID of Aliens movies. Members asked a lot of questions, and we got through a few, with plenty still to tackle at the end of a 2 hour podcast.

While still waiting anxiously for some new Berserk news and episodes, SKnet admins Griff, Walter and Aaz toss out some things they hope to see occur before the end of the series, and why these ideas resonate with us.

Artists Grail and Lithrael join us for a talk on Berserk fanart, and Berserk art in general. We also discuss the news that Viz has licensed the Berserk movie trilogy, and what that means for US fans. All this plus slutty brownies and exploring the shelf life of McDonald's French fries.

With the full gang reassembled, we discuss the creator of Berserk, Kentarou Miura: Who he is, where he came from, where he stands on the stage of other manga artists. Later, we spend some more time talking Mass Effect 3 now that Aaz is back to give his impressions on the game and the ending. SPOILERS! Also, Skype turns Walter into a Reaper by the end of the discussion.

Special guests Nomad and Gobolatula fill in for Aazealh as we discuss the trailer for the second Berserk movie, as well as Mass Effect 3. Along the way, we get sidetracked by all sorts of stuff, most of which made it into the Outtakes section at the very end of the podcast. Gobs also provided a freestyle rap. Enjoy!

With Griffith out this time, Aazealh and Walter dedicate the full episode to answering all the questions members have asked us over the past few podcasts. Throughout them we cover our experiences in MMORPGs, things that have surprised us in Berserk, what we think of the future of the manga industry in Japan, and more. We also talk about our impressions of Mass Effect 3 and Asura's Wrath.

We finally wrap things up with the Skull Knight, covering all his appearances from volumes 26-34. We also talk at the end of the podcast about our experiences so far in Mass Effect 3, which quickly devolves into Shepard/Wrex sexual positions.

Nomad joins us for a discussion on Berserk's music, and whether or not it's forever chained to Hirasawa Susumu. But the majority of this episode is more Skull Knight goodness. We cover his appearances from volume 18-24, with plans to wrap up the SK conversation by next podcast. We also chat with Nomad about video games at the end of the show, since Mass Effect 3 is looming, and Assassin's Creed 3's setting was leaked.

With no major Berserk news in the past week, we've adapted the show's format to allow us to talk about a single, massive topic: The Skull Knight. Aaz, Griff and I had an in-depth discussion of one of the most enigmatic characters in Berserk. We started with our general thoughts on him, and move into analyzing every appearance he's made throughout the series. As always, we all came away learning something new about the character, even though we thought we'd had it all figured out. Hope you guys enjoy it, because we'll be back next week with more Skull Knight discussion.

We talk about the Sea God episodes and what they mean in the context of the new world. We also broach the God Hand and Elfhelm with speculations about the future, and what kind of scenario Guts may face when Casca is restored. Our re-read this episode focuses on the Revelations episodes in Volume 17. All that and embarassing personal injuries during the user questions!

The three admins are joined by special guest from the forum, Gobulatula. We discuss Episode 327, the status of the Berserk movie in Japan, and our first re-read section where we discuss a section of Volume 10 that could have implications on the future. We also take user questions.
