Episode 3 with Matt Papa

-This is the second podcast episode I've listened to that talked about how KFC for Christmas is a big deal for Japan. I can't remember if the other episode I'm thinking about was from an old MGS4 developer podcast from years ago or Camoflaj Radio. Either way, Ryan Payton was involved.

-The opening talk about Gal Gun makes me feel glad that Liam from the Super Best Friends/Best Friends Zaibatsu finally has something new to play on his PSVita.

-Matt Papa's story about meeting one of his heroes at a convention and getting a job reminded me of how Anthony Burch got his job at Gearbox Software (Mikey Neumann invited him to hang out a PAX con and it turned out the whole thing was actually a stealth job interview).

-You are not alone Matt, I also think the English dub of Shin-Chan is better (this was also the moment that sold me on the promise of Matt Papa being a cool guy). The English dub of Sgt Frog is pretty fun. I actually appreciate how jokes in both shows were changed to make sense for American audiences since all I really wanted was to be entertained.

-Saying someone's nice is a bold statement to make on the internet. I highly doubt Mega Ran is nicer than Brentalfloss or Smooth McGroove.

-Whoa. Kinda cool that Konami responded, but at the same time, I'd have to agree with Mike. The music the podcast needed was within itself all along.

-A lot of truth in the comments about learning languages (or, learning in general). People who are willing to learn have a better time learning.

-IGA works for Arc Play, not IntiCreates. I was not aware of that.

-Huh. The Community Manager will not be an Inti employee. That sounds like a good thing to know.

-Merch talk. (Insert Spaceballs reference here.)

-Speed running! Where the real long-term community for the game is made! (Free advertising, people discover and discuss techniques/routes, events like Games Done Quick can be fun.)

-Member questions and answers, and questions from other communities!

-I can get on with my life now that I know Bloodstained will not have a panel at PAX South. (Joke's on them, it was never really that big of a deal for me! I'm planning on going no matter what! Ha ha ha!)

-The response to "will there be a famous TV actress for Miriam?" was "maybe", and I am choosing to interpret that as "Aubrey Plaza is confirmed to play Miriam."

-The closing talk about Gal Gun makes me feel glad knowing that Woolie and/or Pat will have awkward reactions as they join Liam when he plays it for the Best Friends youtube channel.

-Thanks for another Indivisible plug! I'd love to see that game happen.
