Vile Video Dec 12, 2007

Show notes

This week we're coming to you fresh from some of the slimier basements of the internet, where the subject matter gets into very shady territory. One example is the infamous '2Girls1Cup' video, which I originally planned to watch and post a reaction video to in time for this show. After our discussion and some thinking about it, I decided against it but it highlights some of the ideas within the show: what drives us to watch these videos, and what does that say about us? Is this obsession with 'shock video' something we need to be concerned about or is it a natural evolution of our culture? What becomes the ultimate 'shock video' when we keep trying to top the last one? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Keep On Ramblin' Dec 05, 2007

Show notes

Some weeks we think we have a great topic, and at the last minute we're both sitting at the mic and the topic just feels dead as a fish, not interesting or fun. We used to stress about those moments, now we turn them into shows where we whine about whatever is on our minds! Enjoy! Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Origin(al) Sins Nov 28, 2007

Show notes

Oh boy, ladies and gentlemen, you'd be well off getting a full hazard suit on this week because we're really going to be swimming in some muck. We're boldly charging into the dark and moldy basement of badly written comic book origins. We're hitting both DC and Marvel with our ire as both are equally guilty of allowing truly substandard creations to exist in their houses. Don't swallow any of the water from this swamp, kids, it's truly disgusting. The list: Black Manta Mandrill Gorilla Grodd Shocker Dr. Psycho Captain Boomerang Demolition Man Prism Brother Power The Geek Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Litterature Nouveau (Part 1) Nov 14, 2007

Show notes

This week brings part one of our updated bookshelves, sort of a sequel to the Eternal Bookshelf and Graphic Content shows. We're reviewing what we've been reading lately, and it's a pretty diverse list. This show ended up being around two and a half hours, so we're splitting it between this week and next. Have a great week! This week's selections: Blackwater DMZ Cory Doctorow On The Road Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Off This Week Nov 06, 2007

Show notes

Hey everyone, I got miserably sick with stomach flu this weekend, so we didn't get to record since I figured an hour or so of vomiting and moaning wouldn't exactly be much fuel for discussion. We've got a dynamite show planned for next week though, so stay tuned! Joe

Pre(R)amble Oct 31, 2007

Show notes

Happy Halloween! This week we meant to have a serious, deep topic...but then Thundercat porn derailed the whole train. Yep, it's that kinda show. Enjoy! Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

The Plight Of The Modern Gamer Oct 24, 2007

Show notes

This week Lando and I are discussing the nightmare that faces the modern gamer, especially someone like Lando who is trying to get back into condoles after years without having one. Between hardware failures, a lack of software and the overall expense that is now necessitated by consoles doubling as computers the average person faces a tall order in selecting a platform. What happened? How did we go from the NES to this? We've got a few theories, as well as the usual criticism, so come on in and watch the fireworks.

Caveat Emptor Oct 17, 2007

Show notes

After our last two lighter shows, we're getting into some meatier material as we mull over the concept of ownership. What does it mean to own anything? Has the idea of possession changed as our society has evolved, or is it merely our perception of ownership that has changed? Like so many of our topics that cover the less tangible issues, this one becomes more complex the harder we look into it. In the end, is ownership even a viable concept? By the way, forgive the audio quality on my end, I had my mic positioned all wrong and never even noticed it. Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Ozone Runway (Part II) Oct 10, 2007

Show notes

And here's the finisher to our massive fashion show, as twisted as it is. We've saved our big fight for the end, which gives you some insight into how we approach our movie superhero entertainment. As always, we steer the train off the tracks a few times but we eventually get to the station. Enjoy! Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab
