Oh God It Hz Episode 48: In Toriyama We Trust
GameAgentET and The Six Button Samurai are squeezing the juice from a few different hot-button items fresh from the world of video games, chief among them what it means now that the developers of Yuzu, the Nintendo Switch emulator, have settled out of court and will cease their activities following a big lawsuit from Nintendo. JJJ and Eddy also take on the red-hot rumor about a brand-new entry in the Virtua Fighter series, and what our hopes and concerns are for that series striving to make an impact in the modern fighting game arena. Last but certainly not least, we wrestle with the enormous creative legacy of Akira Toriyama, famed creator of Dragon Ball and countless other comics, anime, and manga properties, who passed away last week at age 68. We’ll share some of our favorite games and characters from his impressive body of work. Journey to the East with us on the latest episode of OH GOD IT Hz!

Game Agent ET (aka Eddy)
Game Agent ET (aka Eddy) occasionally phones home to the US from Japan, where he has set up covert operations since 2007 under the guise of an English teacher. Originally birthed from the dusty trails of Tucson, Arizona, ET has shown great intrigue in earthly customs and rituals, such as playing video games, learning about Japanese culture, partaking in a fantasy football league, drawing depictions of humans with big kawaii eyes, and engaging in other artsy endeavors.

Six Button Samurai (aka JJJ)
What is Oh God It Hz!?
Live on tape from Tucson, AZ & Osaka, Japan… JJJ and GameAgent ET deliver a biweekly blast of insight on the world of video gaming through a retro-fueled lens as a pair of lifelong friends catching up over hot mics across the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes it’s taking on gaming’s biggest issues with the history of the biz firmly in mind, sometimes it’s an open requiem for cool things, people, and places we miss, but there’s always an inside joke being slipped into the cracks as two gentlemen whose life paths have been forever woven together and influenced by this passion of theirs as console gaming enters its ninth generation.
