The Weekly Stuff #475 - Armored Core VI, Genshin Impact 4.0, Jonathan’s Sword Art Online Adventures & More!

<p>We’re back after a month away with a “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” catch-up episode, and it’s quite the grab bag! Sean gives impressions of some recent video games including <i>Armored Core VI </i>and the 4.0 Fontaine update of <i>Genshin Impact, </i>while Jonathan tells us about unexpectedly becoming a fan of <i>Sword Art Online </i>while researching his dissertation, and walks us through the giant stack of movies he watched over the last week of summer, from a few Michael Mann classics on 4K Blu-ray to the re-release of Park Chan-wook’s <i>Oldboy </i>in theaters. More discussion of <i>Final Fantasy XVI </i>and a discussion of the great Arleen Sorkin, originator of Harley Quinn who passed away over the weekend, round out the episode. </p><p>Enjoy! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:06:20</p><p>Arleen Sorkin: 0:06:20 – 0:11:30</p><p>Final Fantasy XVI: 0:11:30 – 0:20:57 </p><p>Jonathan’s Sword Art Online Adventures: 0:20:57 – 0:52:56</p><p>Genshin Impact 4.0: 0:52:56 – 1:09:01</p><p>Jonathan’s Movie Madness: 1:09:01 – 1:35:51</p><p>Armored Core VI: 1:35:51 – 1:55:22 </p><p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p><p>Subscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation">https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation</a>  </p><p>Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:</p><p><a href="https://weeklystuffpodcast.com/">https://weeklystuffpodcast.com</a></p><p>Follow <i>The Weekly Stuff Wordcast </i>newsletter for regular updates and extra content! </p><p><a href="https://weeklystuff.substack.com/">https://weeklystuff.substack.com</a></p><p>Ending music by Thomas Lack <a href="https://www.thomaslack.com/">https://www.thomaslack.com/</a></p><p> </p>
