Wacom, Wacoff Apr 02, 2008

Show notes

This week I'm on my own, making another shaky attempt at holding down a show with no wingman. Just like the cyclonic pinball that is my mind, there's no one direction or topic for this show, more a collection of musings from some recent events. You'll notice I'm playing around with some new music for the show opening and closing, so let me know what you think. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alright" by Flower Of CablesClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

Godzilla's In The Water Mar 26, 2008

Show notes

This week we've got a 3 hour tank of a show for you, covering a lot of ground. We're discussing our current 'Best Of' list, which covers all forms of media and hopefully doesn't tread the same typical ground as other 'Best' lists. Some of our choices will be pretty easy to predict, but others may surprise you. I originally thought of splitting the show up into parts, but honestly there was no natural break in the flow of the discussion so I opted not to force it. Also, congratulations to our winners for the wallpaper contest! Both winning entries are linked below for you to download and enjoy!Wallpaper by Kevin from the PhillipinesDownload at 800 x 600 Download at 1024 x 768Wallpaper by Andrew from AustraliaDownload at 800 x 600 Download at 1024 x 768 Download at 1280 x 1024Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Manifest Retcon Mar 19, 2008

Show notes

This week Lando and I are discussing the increasingly thin material that constitutes the truth in this day and age. With the advent of blogging, Wikipedia, and the amazingly malleable nature of all web content is it any wonder that the concept of fact is losing all meaning in our world? And the situation in the real world is getting just as dicey, with reporters dropping to their knees ready to abandon all honor before the beauty of the Mighty Ratings. Can there even exist words like 'fact' or 'truth' when things seem to be true one day and a hazy memory the next?Where The Wild Things Are clipOpening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

You've done your part in helping me get closer to winning a Mimobot! As always, thanks for being a part of the show and particularly for helping me out with this! Joe

Delusions Of Grandeur Mar 12, 2008

Show notes

This week we're taking an alternate look at a topic that we touched on once before: the environment. As before, though, we're not debating the issue of whether we are damaging the environment but rather whether we even can damage this planet of ours. Do we as a species possess the power to alter the planet, and within that question can we do anything to improve it? The Matrix Resurrection: Should There Ever Be A 4th Matrix Movie?

Snikt Snikt Foot Foot Mar 05, 2008

Show notes

This week it was tough to categorize the show, since we covered a lot of various ground. In essence, though, we started with the idea that nothing is sacred anymore. The starting point for the show was the abominable progress on the American version of the anime classic Akira. Early details on the production have driven us both insane, as they show little regard or understanding of the source material. This started us wondering if there is any reverance for anything on this planet anymore. We're also going to post the wallpaper contest results so keep an eye out!Here's the page of 300 gifs I had a heart attack laughing at.Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave LondonClosing Music: "ET" by Peplab

The Ability To Operate Autonomously Within The Bounds Of The Laws Of The Country Feb 27, 2008

Show notes

This week is a kind of half and half show, where we have a topic that we feel is important to discuss but likely not meaty enough to dominate the show. Rather than tank the idea, we're going have run our ramble a little longer than usual and then spend the remaining time on the mini-topic. Don't forget, this is the last week to get your wallpaper submissions in! Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Off This Week Feb 20, 2008

Show notes

No show this week. I ran out of time for even recording, much less editing, so we'll be back next week. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel. Enjoy your week!

Crystal Shoulders Feb 13, 2008

Show notes

This week I'm on my own, so be forewarned. No real overall topic, just a near hour long mix of things bouncing around the empty cavern of my skull. Politics, the Terminator TV series and Godzilla....yes, these all belong together don't they? Egon said it best: "Short, but pointless." Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Invisible War Feb 06, 2008

Show notes

This week we're doing a little viewer mail before delving into our topic: the nature of war within cyberspace. So much of our lives tied to the internet, and in this increasingly interconnected society what does conflict consist of when the battlefield is entirely virtual? Is there any such thing as war online, or is it more like a giant game of Battleship between faceless combatants? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab
