This week, on our podcast, #BacklogDialogues, the new game finally begins, and we see the author dropping the Cycle of Abuse anvil.
Even the characters seem to think this is just too much, and not good for anyone, even if deserved.

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Alliance of the Golden Witch, Console Version. Ushiromiya Maria, out of vengeance for the murder of Sakutarou, tortures her mother Rosa with rage-filled tears in her eyes.
Family can hurt family. A mother can crush her daughter's heart. A patriarch can leave his whole house in terror of his rage. And when it bubbles up, unable to be suppressed any further, the results can be devastating.

Sorrow isolates. Pain darkens the sight. This week both are in spades. Not much to say, just....see you on the other side as Ange and Maria's stories continue.
#backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Alliance of the Golden Witch, Console Version.

A fresh perspective. A new player. A girl alone. We have the opportunity now to see everything from a new position, one the game hasn't allowed so far. All it takes is the courage....to fall. #backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry
Today, on our podcast, #BacklogDialogues, we discuss the Discworld novel, The Hogfather. If you haven't read it, you really should. Terry Pratchett's writing is always, always worth it.
He manages to create deep meaning from humor and satire every time.

Image from the 2006 BBC Adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. Death, having taken the role of Hogfather upon himself due to the fat man's disappearance, sets out to deliver presents to the good children of Discworld with his assistant Albert.
Twas the night before Hogswatch, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, but a skeletal mouse. We take a visit to the miraculous universe of Discworld with Hogfather, and learn the true meaning of holidays, and how the little oddities of life elevate it.

This week, on our podcast #BacklogDialogues,

Humans. Are you even trying? You blunder the simplest boards. If it wasn't for me nee-, ahem. Well, go ahead and review, i suppose Even your little "godcast" doesn't add much, to my eyes. Shall we be continuing this forever?
#backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry
This week, on our podcast, #BacklogDialogues, we finish the main story of Umineko Episode 3.

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Manga version. After Battler is saved from unintentionally surrendering to the witch, Beato goes through a number of expressions, ending on one of sorrow, before leaning down to speak directly to Battler's face.
The tearstained letter reads:
A witch's tears mean many things. Joy. Sorrow. Trickery. When witches clash, it becomes murky. She beckons to you with a crying face. A wrong step guarantees loss, so decide now. But never stop thinking, or-" the rest is blurred.

Our new witch player takes her first move and has decided to add stratego pieces to the board? No, this isn't right. A witch may torment and befuddle, but they can't decide to play a new game. What is EVA doing? And where did the f---ing rabbits come from!?

It's Graduation Day, but it seems that we still aren't any closer to solving the mystery? That's ok, someone else is - Eva has put together an answer to the epitaph, and in response, she ascends! A pawn promoted to a queen, but what does it all mean? #backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry
This week on our podcast, #BacklogDialogues, we get…one of the most over-the-top magical battles I’ve seen in a written work.

We have reached our final course, with a special guest lecturer! Virgilia is here to show us that the world of magic is much deeper, and wilder, than we ever expected. But how will learning about magic help us in our Mystery curriculum?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Manga Volume 1. A young Rosa finds the corpse of the Beatrice she met in the hidden mansion after falling from a coastal cliff.
When we say history repeats, what you should take from that is to look to the past, so that you can avoid the same mistakes in the future. Rosa must learn that her actions have consequences. But it's not like the woman she let fall would come back. Would she?

This week's episode is "Mid-Century Feminism 101 with Ushiromiya Eva"
www.backlogdialogues.com/e/umineko-wt...
Today on #BacklogDialogues, we start Umineko Episode 3!
This time, we start by learning a little bit more about Eva, and what drives her dysfunctional relationship with her family.
A new game is a new opportunity to see the mystery from a different angle. Can we see anything new?
Also, this week is our 150th Episode! For a podcast about working through Backlog heavy series, that's a pretty hefty Backlog of our own! Better start listening now, it's only gonna get longer! #backlogdialogues #fomo
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. A young Eva argues with her older brother Krauss over her role in the Ushiromiya family.

Welcome to the new semester. Remedial Mystery courses don't seem to have helped so far, so let's try a different angle. We start by looking at another significant piece from this tale. Eva has a lot hidden inside, so this week we'll peek behind that veil.

I personally wanted to go with “Rich People are Fucked-Up”

This week, on our podcast #BacklogDialogues, we have a one-off discussion about a pretty out-there anime, Migi and Dali. It’s a strange one, all right, but we enjoyed ourselves.
Image from the opening to the anime Migi and Dali. Migi and Dali press to a translucent piece of glass, implying a reflection. Dali glances at the camera slightly, implying their subtle differences.
It really feels like we should have done this Minilog earlier, wasn't Higurashi the one with all the Twin antics? Anyways, this week we're discussing Migi and Dali, a genre defying farce that settles on being a suspenseful mystery.
Oh, so that's why we're covering it now.
