PODCAST RECAPS FOR 6/14/2016: Cleaning House BONUS Edition

WE HAVE A RADIO STATION!

Currently Up:

• Echo Chamber Episodes 1-10
• Echo Chamber Episodes 160-166
• I'd Rather Not Episodes 1-12 

Still in catch up mode after redoing alot of my computer shit, so I'm putting up the two Echo Chamber recaps I did last weekend:



ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 167

-What comes into my brain anytime I hear "Dental Plan"

-Google Cardboard

This looks like something Nerdist or whatever would put as "DIY VR Headset" or something and then google sold it to you for $20.

-Beavis and Butthead changed a shiiiiitton in their reboot. While it was nice to see them riff on the numerous reality shows MTV had at the time, it didn't lend itself well to the idea of two idiot teenagers riffing on whatever's on TV. Part of the comedy is that they were confused about what's going on, and it came from a point of ignorance.

When they came back it was like 20 years have passed for them. They don't sound as into it, they're acting like the've got kids of their own, and they're looking down on the videos not in a teenage "This sucks/this rules" kind of immature binary, but in a "Tsk Tsk, KIDS THESE DAYS"


Though I did like the riff they did for "Firework", even if they did sound a lot more listless.



"You're not a firework" "SHUT UP BUTTHEAD I AM A FIREWORK"



-Music videos in the internet age obviously have a lot less money put behind them, but on the other hand, a lot of consumer grade equipment is really good and relatively affordable. Also, internet culture has the benefit of being a lot more accepting of "weird shit" and weird concepts that might be a bridge too far for TV nowadays. Even an indie band can put something decent together on a low budget, as evidenced with OK GO. With them, it's less, "How can we put this on MTV, which is the TV equivalent of the radio", but "How can we get people to watch this?"

-Lonley The Brave "Victory Line". I don't want to watch it again to talk about it gives me so much feels.

-Jim (Fucking) Sterling (Son's) content id block gambit explained:


Mystakin's Patreon

Mega64's Pateron

And now, to leave you with an insprirational quote from DASHAREZ0NE

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 168-Paolo's not that far off the mark for a lot of people. As much as we try to eat healthy, we're curious. Like the desire to not miss out on Mom making brownies far outweighs the desire to eat healthy. Like why advertisers and the like try to phrase things in a way that are brains think "HOLY SHIT I GOTTA MITIGATE RISK" vs. "HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT"

-I'm surprised we didn't bring up the pinnacle of gluttony: Brasilian Grills. It's essentially an All You Can Eat place, but instead of going up and getting the food, they bring you a shitton of meat so long as you have this token thing flipped up to the green side.

-I didn't think the "Rib Cage Of A Virgin" thing very far. Like, that virgin's ribcage has to be stripped clean or else their body meats will interfere with the BBQ meats. And if it's bleached then that's a safety hazard.


And high noon is 12 o' Clock..... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-


-Here's the transfer animation Arcanon was talking about:

-Betteridge's Law of Headlines as Explained by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal:


-Nostalgia Chick/Lindsay Ellis breaks down the "Classic Internet" Down well:

-Synmmetra Roundabout


-"Twist" by KoRn

-Super Bunny Hop's Dark Souls Video:

-The ice levels aren't ALWAYS the worst levels in games. Sometimes you get to throw babies off a cliff.


-Saxaphone solos in 2011:
"Edge Of Glory" by Lady Gaga
"Last Friday Night" by Katy Perry
"Jamie" by Akira The Don

-Raising our chocolate rations from 30 grams to 20 grams is a reference to 1984. If I can find a way to put that in an elegant way I'd make it a regular saying.

-1099 is absolute bullshit. I don't think I've had any good job where I was paid on a 1099. If it looks like a real job, smells like a real job, and you get paid on 1099, RUN.

-"Could God make his dong so massive, even he could not suck it?"
"You can't spell dong without God"

-Anyone catch the Homeless YuGiOh player call back?

-Super Win The Game IndieBox:


-So here's the news on the casting breakdowns. If you read the leaked script, Wham! is an appropriate working title, kinda like how Avengers was "Group Hug" and Captain America was "Freezer Burn" which both sound like Steven Segal movies that come on in 2 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. CopyCat, Ajax, Weasel and Blind Al are all for a lock. I really hope this doesn't turn into Deadpool: The Game: The Movie

-Shovel Knight Medley:

Echo Chamber Podcast Post Game Episode 5 and 6

Pop music uses auto-tune, ergo I can kill two birds with one stone. I'm not lazy.

HERE'S THE EPISODE!

The only real standout here is that GUYS WE FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT ZIMOS FROM SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD!!


I want that cane RIGHT NOW, but all I got is this headset.


So, Saints Row: The Third, eh? Great game, got the base 1000 GS, but toward the end it got really easy, and therefore really boring. When you can be borderline invincible, and have infinite ammo, the risk is gone. Like, "I COULD use this rocket launcher, but I might need it for this next mission" or, "Boy, glad I made it out of THAT scrape!"

A game where you can smack people with dildos getting tiresome.

Don't get me wrong, there were still plenty of fun parts. The story continued to be surprisingly well done, with lots of twists and turns and good characters. Killbane made me think that gold chains and a luchadore mask are the best accessories ever. As it went it on, SRTT came down with a case of the Try-Hards.

Lastly, nobody show Owen/Ozone this video:


OK, cool. He gets kind of face-clawy when Katy Perry and Glee come together.
