PODCAST RECAPS FOR 5/21/2016: I'm Not At OutCon. Shut Up

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 10
Why did cassette tapes skip in the first place though? Record players and CD players have very fine readers that can be

The IdRatherNotiVerse is a magical land where space travel is readily accessible to the middle class, shitting in a backpack is socially acceptable, and your decisions curse you forever.

Also, Glitchwave is a thing, but it's a website from the people who do RateYourMusic

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 11
What I'm getting from that opening is that this was John's forum Avatar/Signature was at one point than this:


The follow ups to my Eurovision song:
Our Governor Looks Like Lord Voldemort (and yes, the Attack Ad thing was true)
We Have A Major Roadway Named After A Shitty President
The Orlando Magic Play In A Stadium Named After A Pyramid Scheme

YTMND was Vine before it was Vine, and EbaumsWorld was 9gag/Cheeseburger before those sites ripped of Something Awful and boards.4chan.org/b/

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 165
-Star Fox Zero came out somewhat before recording, and so far the response has been underwhelmed. It's sad because Nintendo has all these cool space franchises like Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid, that appeal to older audiences, but rarely get used.
At the very least, we'll always have "A Fox In Space":

-Push Me Pull You:

-With a little luck, Codenames will be the "New Big Con Game" after Cards Against Humanity and Werewolf, since it requires thought and deincentivises asshole behavior. Then again, that's probably standing in its way. I love word and vocabulary games, and Codenames is a great game for expanding your knowledge base, since you need to come up with words to describe your words, but avoid using a term to describe either an opponents' word or the assassin.

-White Wizards produces two games: Star Realms and Epic.
From the looks of it, Cool Stuff Games has the best prices on everything, so pick them up, and then get hype for when White Wizards drops my card!


-Johnathan Blow Talk:

-In The Shadows is available on Kickstarter, and you can check out the trailer here:


There should be a 16-bit Arcanon that says "Hi! I'm Arcanon, and this is my secret room! Don't tell anyone about it!" and then the rest of us come out and say "UGH! THIS ROOM IS SO FUCKING PRETENTIOUS GRAHHHHH!!!!"

-There were two main themes that weekend: Me disappointing Owen, and Jeff apologizing for the creation of "Assault On Psychofortress".

-The Different Priority Airline Clubs According To The Echo Chamber:
1. Priority Sky Business Platinum
2. Priority Priority Sky Business Gold Platinum Double Platinum
3. Mile High Club Dick Sucker Fucking Handjob Extraordinaire (Everyone gets their own handjob)
4. Star Platinum

-FUN FACT: I was sent the raw files for "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock" and had to reconstitute the song using the ProTools file, and add my own distortion. Part of me wants to try and finish it for the Custom Creators Collective, but that would be disrespectful to Lars. Also, my C3 energy is better spent on the Best Song Pack Ever consisting of "Super Rad!" by The Aquabats, "Let's Dance To Joy Division" by The Wombats and "Anal Cunt" by G.G. Allin.

-"Only God can judge me"- Jeff, an atheist.

-Arcanon is working on an Adult Content pack for C3, so "Anal Cunt" by GG Allin might be a possibility.

-BUTTS

-Vocals in Rock Band were always hit or miss, and if Rock Band 4 allows for more expression, then I'm all for it.  It's really a buzzkill when, even on Easy, someone who just wants to sing karaoke fails out and is given negative feedback. No Fail Mode as the default helps a little bit, but it's crushing when a player onjly scores 50%.

"I suck! I'm never going to play again!"

There's a colloquialism in Magic The Gathering for when there's a mechanic that can be seen as discouraging to players not quite ready to handle it: "Feelbads". For a game that invites such a casual playerbase, you want to avoid as many "Feelbads" early on in a player's career as much as possible.


-Final Fantasy X: HAHAHAHA! HA HA! HAHAHA! HA HA! HA! HA!! 

-Canary Mary in Banjo Tooie was regarded for being very difficult. While Mystakin and Arcanon tried to argue the best ways to tackle her, I'll be lazy and post some tips from GameFAQs:
"No-one can beat Canary Mary in less than 13 seconds (not even a giraffe) as she cheats and adapts her speed to match the player’s skill. If you play too well she always seems to win. We never did fix that one properly…" (Translation: WE DUN GOOFED!)

"The main thing to remember with Canary Mary is to keep the interval between your button presses constant" (Translation: Wicked rubberband A.I.)

"If you're into mashing the button as fast as possible, go ahead. However, if you feel like you're slowing down, press start to pause and get the blood back into your thumb... or finger or whatever (nose?). As long as you can stay ahead, it's all good" (Translation: Stop playing. Fuck this game)


The last method is one more suited to those who are a little more desperate. If you're sick of trying everything and anything and just want to finish the game 100%, buy yourself a turbo controller from an online store or your local retailer if they stock them. Turbo controllers allow the user to hold down a button and get the same effect of mashing it at an extremely fast and constant speed - perfect for beating Canary Mary. (Translation: Fuck this game, just cheat)

Also recommended:
-A spoon
-A pen
-Rock Band fret button

But, it makes sure to note that they fucked up the programming, so this won't work either.

Video Time? VIDEO TIME!
