PODCAST RECAPS FOR 2/11/2017: Sad, Old Men

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 196

-OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!?!?

-Apparently Scrath and Sniuff actually existed:

Sounds exactly as good as you imagine a hair metal band in the 90's would sound.

-Online Play I couldn't get to work, but I'm glad it's there with all the features we mentioned. Namely the "all members get one song".

-As someone coming off a Game Jam, most of what happens when making a game comes from the testing, more so then the coding. For example. you can program a basic collision detection code to get everything else moving, but until you find out stuff like "running in a corner accelerates your character so hard you go to another dimension",then you go back and fix that error.

Like the old proverb, "Most Writing Comes In The Editing"

-I'M A GOOFY GOOBER!

​-Legendary Punk Singer Jello Biafra:


-Legendary Punk SInger Jello Biafra on Not Owen President

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 45 

-The Lee Harvey Oswalds DO exist, and I have more likes on Facebook then them and I'm a slightly better singer than them.




-YOU'RE FAKE NEWS OWEN

-The "We're gong to call you fake news until you stop attacking us" is a real thing, sadly.

-Adolf Hitler was born in 1889. If you bang in 1910s Germany, you could pop out Eva Braun. She's not a leader, though so chances are you're popping out the modern day equivalent of a modern day millennial.

-Here's John Howland's Wikipedia page, since this podcast will be the most anyone's ever thought about him.

-This the Zero Escape Timeline. Some highlights:

• (1904) In April, copies of Phi and Delta arrive (presumably in Germany or Europe) via transporter from 2029 following D-END 2. 
• (1905) Ten months after arriving by transporter, another copy of Phi is sent to 2008.
• (December 25, 2028) - In California, Sigma is knocked out by Soporil in his car. His consciousness is pushed to January 25, 2074, and his 68-year-old consciousness occupies his body in the present time. Phi's consciousness also switches places with her future consciousness. Akane joins Sigma and Phi, but her consciousness isn't from the future so she hasn't experienced the Radical-6 outbreak. The three of them infiltrate the Mars Mission Test Site (Dcom) in Nevada after using Crash Keys to hack the admin server to include them. Six others have joined the Dcom experiment for their own reasons: Junpei, Mira, Eric, Carlos, Diana, and Q. 
• (January 27, 2074) Akane has been wearing K's armor. K is revealed to be Kyle, a clone of Sigma, who has been kept in cold sleep since the beginning of the Nonary Game in this timeline. Sigma learns that his body is 67 years old, but his consciousness is from the past. Akane attacks Phi with the Myrmidon knife, making Phi and Sigma's consciousness jump back to the past to April 13th, 2029. 

 -And now a message from Commissioner Gordon:

VOICE OF ALL- AER 7 BREAKING POINTS


Dovin Baan is Dovout Baan. I'd also like to show you the bloopers I recorded!

PODCAST RECAPS FOR 1/27/2017: ONE PUNNNNCH!!!

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 44
-Trace Evans throws his hat in the ring in "Most Sexually Depraved Intro"

-Owen Douglass is President now. He hasn't caused an international crisis, or appointed a White Nationalist to the head of security.

-Jaden's Smith Translation of my single payer healthcare system is a reference to The Miz's theme song:


-Actual Picture Of President Trace Evans Nixon:

-And remember, do your part, and punch some nazis:


VOICE OF ALL: "Burn"


This was a fun one to do, because Dovin goes from "Professional General Type Man" to "Sassy Gurrl"

PODCAST RECAPS FOR 10/29/2016: Five Nights At Arby's

INSERT QUEST HERE: ECLIPSE PHASE: LUNAR HELL HUNT


I was on the Special Halloween Episode of Insert Quest Here!


I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 34

-Something... happened last week? I think. I dunno, the podcast is the same as it ever was!

-Dumb Bullshit Jared Leto Did To Get Into Character For The Joker:
1. Sending random gifts to his coworkers like used condoms and anal beads.
2. Fucking with his coworkers by being "in character" the whole time and insisting everyone call him Mr. J on the set.
3. Dropping a live pif in the middle of a table read.

Yeah, everyone hated him.

Jared Leto feels like the  director was egging him on the whole time. Like, all the other actors were like "Man, not this shit again" and David Ayer, the director, along with the marketing team was like "HOW MESSED UP IS THE JOKER GONNA BE?"

-Why I Am The King Of Five Nights At Freddy's: without my kickass song, nobody would have heard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Markiplier, NateWantsToBattle and Game Theory are all liars and charaltans. Never played the games, but I'm the real King Of Finve Nights At Freddy's: A Game I've Never Played.

-"Bad Things Happen Warehouse Starring Jared Leto" is what is on the marquee at every 30 Seconds To Mars concert.

-Creepy Stuff Scientist is how I imagine John would act if were still alive and unactivated by The Protocol after [REDACTED] activated it.

-Real people painted like animatronics? Did you mean Steam Powered Giraffe:


-If we're doing jump scare muppet house, I'm surprised we haven't brought up the one guy who's got "innocuous object but REALLY SCARY" on lock down:

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 185

-Rockudrama, while not meaty, is really big on dry humor, like, as Arc mentioned: Jake and Amir. While nowadays it seems "DORKLY" is the big CollegeHumor brand, CH in general was pretty good at that aloof, "bullshit with a striaght face". I thought the series ended when I graduated college, but it's still going on, like this from a couple days ago:

Let's look at comme-

oh... oh... oh...

-I've come around on Kool Terry. Kool Terry is Kewl with Mee. He's like onions: when made to put in a dish, it's great, but you can't eat it on your own. Also it smells bad.



 -The TRUE AND HONEST Nintendo Switch Trailer:


-The curly fries look SOOOOO GOOOOD, but those Beef and Cheddar Sandwiches could look better.
 

PODCAST RECAPS: I'm Not Late, I Just Wanted To Include The New Voice Of All

VOICE OF ALL KALADESH EPISODE 6- BOTTLED UP


I played the brute in this one! What'reya buyin' STRANGA?

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE EPISODE 32

-I'd Rather Not is getting to have a VERY deep lore. Ancient Gods, Space, IndieGoGo? What's next?

-Kudos where Kudos is due: At least Rick Scott (AKA Governor of Florida Voldemort) said "YO, PREP FOR THAT SHIT" instead of saying "Just pray" like he did after the Pulse Orlando shooting.

-I like the constant ongoing delusion Andy has by saying Magic The Gathering has no value, however, according to TCGPlayer.com, as of this writing is currently worth about $50:
 

-What I was going to say when Andy asked me about BitCoin is that we need to find a way to rip off libertarian nerds somehow.

-

This sack of shit is running for president.

Also people who use "cuck", "feminazi" and "SJW" as insults are worthless as people and their opinions will never matter.

-Iwai means "Celebration" in English. So that's what that means Anime Andy:

ECHO CHAMBER 183

I didn't forget, we just railed on the Xbone for 90 minutes.


VOICE OF ALL- BORN OF AETHER

I play Not-Soldier 76! This was one of the better MtG stories of this block, so kudos!


I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 31

-As of this past Friday, the Giant Bomb Shenmue Quick Look ended, and BOY WAS THAT ENDING THE EPITOME OF NOT WORTH IT.

Hope they do Shenmue 2.

-The game I was talking about where your uncle is a cosmic horror is called "The Uncle Who Works At Nintendo" It's pretty interesting, and I might play it on stream one of these days.

Something Awful: So what exactly is your uncle's role in the Nintendo organization?
Guy Whose Uncle Works for Nintendo: My uncle is one of the main guys. He invented Mario. He lives in Japan and he knows the president of Nintendo. The president of Nintendo is named Ryu Nintendo and he invented the first Nintendo, which was a robot that did math. My uncle works on all the games and makes up how the levels look, and he knows all the cheat codes and can get extra men in any game. He gets to play all the games before they come out and he gives them all to me when he beats them.

-Campo Santo of Firewatch posted up an article noting a situation similar to "UNCLE NINTENDO"




-For those of you saucy boys wondering who Griffin McElroy is:

PODCAST RECAPS FOR 10/1/2016: Creative Anatomical Descriptions

VOICE OF ALL- RENEGADE PRIME


I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 30

-My intro is of course referencing, a Bad, Bad Man by John Cena:


-In my door-jump scare searching escapades, I found a website called "Where's The Jump?" that highlights when jump scares come in movies. An interesting idea, and I'm curious to see how the jump scare rating corressponds to the movie's quality. Some of you are going to whine about it because it's the same line as-


 -Tom is a hot dog salesman from the game Shenmue, who drunkenly shambles across 7 different stereotypes and then recommends you see a Travel Agency to know about Chinese people:


-John: Do I have a curfew?
RB: John., you're a grown ass man, you can do what ever you want.
John: Will Ine-san give me a daily allowance?
RB: You're a grown ass man John, you need to work for it.

-This and another episode was where me and John went back and forth on a question where I end up repeating the same thing. I think the "cartoon in the real world" scenario. I'm a big fan of comical repetition

-ANDY AND JOHN OPEN UP A BURGER STAND:
One day in 1980's Japan. John and Andy opened up a burger stand.
"This will be a fine burger stand!" said Andy. "We got burgers, we got homebrewed beer, what more could the people of 1980's Japan want?"
"I KNOW RIGHT" said a very shy, reserved John, his voice like whispers on the wind. "WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SO MUCH MONEY! LET'S GET STARTED!"
John lit up the grill with a smile on his face, and Andy looked at the bottled beers like they were beautiful babies
Suddenly, a hot dog truck pulled over across from them. A strange man with sunglasses and dreadlocks stepped out, and started dancing.
"Oh hi Mark! You guys want a hot dog?" he said, dancing. "How's your sex lifes?"
This man was very strange.
"HEY, ANDY! THIS GUY IS SO STRANGE!"
"I know, right! Hopefully he doesn't cut into our business!"
"MAYBE WE SHOULD WORK WITH HIM?"
"You know what, John? That sounds like a fine idea! If we work together, we can all be successful!"
"AND WE CAN GET WHAT DRUGS HE'S CLEARLY ON!"
So Tom, Andy and John all worked together and made a lot of hungry people in 1980's Japan happy, all while getting super fucking baked.
Ryo's father also wasn't dead.

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 182

-Millennial Weddings:

If we can bother to afford them, what kind of traditions will we pass down that our kids will think is lame? Our generation, because of aforementioned financial issues, are questioning the big to do. While we keep the legal and religious ceremonies, the fact that it needs to be a lavish affair are-

No, wait, what kind of DJ brings a fucked up file to their party? Like, what happened? Did this guy NOT check?

-Since this episode was recorded, Green Day released this video for a song WAY more coherent:

-Stars Playing Rock Band-
The Protomen, as mentioned:

Rush, also mentioned:

Alice Cooper, Death In His Eyes:
I CAN'T FIND IT GRAAAAH

-Party Cannon, as made famous by Viral Image:

PODCAST RECPAS FOR 9/17/2016: The Epic Crossover Event

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 180
-The Simpsons and classic movies:

-My Dad is a HUGE Star Wars nut, so naturally he took us to the Special Editions in '97 and The Pahntom Menace in 1999. He was talking about it all the time, so I just assumed it was a big deal. Then again, I haven't seen Captain America: Civial War yet, so it is possible to miss out on an "event" movie.


-Possible feature to add to the side:
Who Are We Throwing Our Money At?
A collection of all the people we recommend supporting through Patreon, Kickstarter, Buying All Their Shit, etc.


ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 181
-I think adding a "Hashtag" to things is the equivalent of adding Dad to it where it worsens and cheapens whatever the word is.
#Courage- WE ARE SELLING YOU WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A COURAGEOUS MOVE
Dad Courage- I'm going to try the DOUBLE Bacon Cheeseburger
#Jokes- I am ironicaly referring to what I just said as comedy
Dad Jokes- Hi ____, I'm Dad! See also, "I know you're good, but do you want any more food?" and "You can tune a piano but you tune a fish?"
#Bod- This Instagram picture has a body in it. Somewhere. Alive?
DadBod- Not fat enough to be fat, but fat enough to show that you stopped trying.

 

-Super Mario Run Trailer:


-It feels... desperate that the console market is working in iterations. The main rallying point of consoles is that everything works right out of the box, and the main thrust of this console generation is that they want to be the main focus of your living room. I'm not sure what these upgrades are supposed to accomplish other than "we're making them better". Look at the "thesis" of the past couple generations:

-WiiU/Xbone/PS4: We want to own your TV. You can stream your TV through us, you can browse the internet us, we want to OWN YOUR LIVING ROOM.
-PS3/360/Wii: Online mofos!
-PS2/Xbox/Gamecube: I think we figured out this 3D shit you guys!


-Everyone plays video games. Especially during the 80's. However, a lot of what changed our perspective of video games happened after the Crash of '83. Nintendo fixed this by selling video game as Toys rather than Electronics. Toy aisles back then had were separated by gender, they picked Boys. Still, even in the early days, video games were still popular with everyone.

However, as mentioned in the podcast, then shit got complicated. FOUR buttons? SHOULDER PADS? ANOTHER one?


Where games like Halo succeeded is that they removed the "feelbads" from the game: Recharging shields, less complicated firing weapons, etc. While the controls are still ridiculous to someone who hasn't played, the game itself is more accommodating.

-Japanese Yodeling:

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 28

First Google Result for "Anime Owen":


Though personally, I'm a fan of Powerman 5000's cover album with "Electric Avenue":


And yes, IndieGoGo.Space is an actual URL

This is BoBoBo BoBoBoBo:

It's about this dude who fights a tyrannical regime who wants to steal everyone's hair. BoBoBo, having a lot of hair, will NOT stand for this, so he roams the land employing his technique Hanage Shinken, or Fist Of The Nose Hair.

-The cosplay scene is verrrrry, shall we say, expansive? Like, there are cosplay models, cosplay porn, cosplay strippers, cosplay burlesque shows, and all of those exist in Florida because OF COURSE IT'S FLORIDA.

Hey Andy:

I want you to remember this in your DREAMS.

IN YOUR DREEEEEEAMS!!!! 

VOICE OF ALL- HOMESICK

I play Dovin Baan, the planeswalker from Kaladesh. He was a fun voice to do. I tried to go for a British accent with some Indian influence, and while it came out well for the most part, except for the times when it slips into Irish/Scottish because I roll my R's as part of the voice I chose.

Still, SUUUUPER hyped for Kaladesh.
