Europe Be Wildin'

The CaliConBlogCast

On this episode of the CaliConBlogCast, we catch up on Kumoricon 2023 announcements & potential FanimeCon 2024 news, figure out why a climate change group targeted a Tekken 7 tournament, discuss Cities Skylines 2 missing benchmark targets as well as what could possibly be the worst game of the year in Skull Island: Rise of Kong (somehow worse than Gollum?) & LRG's P4G Limited Edition, and we pay our respects to the Persona 5 for Reels slot machine at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort. Plus our episodic discussion on Code Geass: Lost Stories as we get into the Arena and beach event, follow up about Suzume being back in theatres as we wonder "WTF Crunchyroll," and a bunch of "good news" to end the podcast.
