This week on The Entertainment Dome, it’s James’ turn to feel the despair over the latest Danganronpa 3 episodes, but he’s got something else to cheer himself up – Digital Homicide continuing to act like jack-asses to the point where even Valve is tired of their shit.

The Entertainment Dome Episode 32 – And You Thought Last Guardian’s Delay Was Bad
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we manage to only spend half the show talking about Danganronpa 3; the other half is about a Warcraft game that took 18 years to be released, the recent delays of The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy XV and even more Pokémon Sun & Moon news.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 31 – Deep in Despair and Denial
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James and I manage to get some actual videogame talk in, specifically about the newest Pokémon Sun & Moon details and we finally get round to sharing our opinions on Metal Gear Survive. And, of course, there’s Danganronpa 3 talk but not a lot happened in the last two episodes. Nothing eventful. Nothing at all. Nothing bad happened. Everything’s fine. Seriously.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 30 – The Danganronpa Three-Cap
WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for the Danganronpa series
The Entertainment Dome is back after a two-week hiatus, so you know what that means? Danganronpa 3 talk! Seriously, James and I essentially spend an hour recapping the last 6 episodes of the show, so I hope you all enjoy it. And if you don’t, I can only apologise.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 29 – What Do You Mean It’s Metroid’s 30th Anniversary?
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James and I manage to keep all the anime talk brief for once, before moving on to Nintendo’s recent DMCA take-downs, as well as our opinions on Metroid Prime: Federation Force and the current state and future of the Metroid series.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 28 – MONACA!!!
What I Think may be on a hiatus of sorts at the moment, but that doesn’t mean James and I can’t do Entertainment Dome episodes! This week, we continue to express joy, anger, sadness and confusion at the roller-coaster that is Danganronpa 3, we pretend to act surprised about Telltale’s terrible PC version of their Batman game and we get particularly excited over all the new details for Pokémon Sun & Moon.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 27 – Not So Super Sonic
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we’re still complaining about the Ace Attorney anime and loving/hating Danganronpa 3. But we DO talk about actual news later on; specifically Telltale’s “multiplayer” announcement, the latest NX rumours and the two new Sonic the Hedgehog games.
My VG Music Picks #35 – Vs Street Fighter Rivals Arrange #1 (Street Fighter X Tekken)
I know many were incredibly disappointed with how Street Fighter X Tekken ultimately turned out, but there were still a few elements that I still enjoy even now. For instance, the rival fights. If you play through the Arcade Mode with a “canon” team, like Ryu and Ken or Kazuya and Nina, you’ll get into a rival fight, prefaced by a short cutscene of the two teams confronting each other.
Granted, these scenes weren’t anything particularly special but were mildly entertaining at the very least. But my favourite part was the music that played. If you were playing as a Street Fighter duo, you’d fight your rival to a Tekken remix and vice versa. And for my money, the first variant of the Street Fighter rival theme is easily my favourite.

The Entertainment Dome Episode 26 – OK, Seriously, There’s Too Much Anime
I hope you like more anime talk because that’s literally all we talk about on this week’s Entertainment Dome. If you do, then listen on as we bang on about the recent episodes of Ace Attorney, Berserk and Danganronpa 3.
Five Disappointing Videogame Crossovers
There’s something about crossovers that’s just inherently exciting. The idea of taking two or more different franchises or characters and having them interact is something that’s been capable of generating headlines and making fans wet themselves in delight for years, whether it be in comic books, films or videogames. Which is why it’s so irritating when a crossover ends up not delivering.
Whether it be due to a poor story, lack of imagination, the franchises in question not gelling together very well or those involved having no proper understanding of how to make it work, some crossovers fail to be the spectacular clash of titans they were meant to be and are instead bland, unassuming and, overall, disappointing. And here are five examples I’ve personally seen within the world of videogames; ones that contain a plethora of mistakes that, hopefully, future videogame crossovers won’t make. Continue reading
