    yeaaah, the challenges aren't always the most thought out, but hopefulyl it'll be better for season 2. I really enjoyed the talking heads and seeing everyone actually interact with eachother! What I've really been missing is seeing them actually living in the house, having conversations.

    Yeah, it feels weird that we have not really gotten a chance to see the artists interact and become friends despite all of the canned interview stuff about it

    Bro, here comes a tiger. Get our Off™ brand Anti-tiger Stick and maybe poke him until he's slightly uncomfortable.

    I don't know. Fedoras have only ever looked good when they were worn with a matching suit. Else it's like wearing a tophat with a t-shirt.

    Pretty much. You just need to bring back a new style of hat instead.

    Bowler? Porkpie? Homburg? Deerstalker?

    I think I read somewhere that the tiger had eaten some people around a village and that's why they went hunting for it. Poor elephant.

    Is anyone else doing pages for the Bartkira project?

  • m3nacem3nace Registered User regular
    Nope. I think it's a... special project, I just don't want to defile Akira like that. Not that I think people who are doing it have the wrong intentions, I would just feel like I was doing something bad if I did it.

    Yeah I suppose I didn't really have that going in, I've never read akira before but I've always wanted to so I thought it would be a good time to do it.
    I kind of can't get over how good it is! I know everyone's been telling me it is like my whole life but they didnt tell me it was THIS good! Haha

    Guys, stop wearing fedoras. It doesn't look good. You are not Humphrey Bogart. Its a stereotype now, and not a good one:

    I never actually wear them in public. Sometimes I put them on and talk like a gangster to my cats and then cry for a few hours.

    Who listens to podcasts? I'm working through too many of them now, and sort of fell off some of my old ones. Heres my current list:

    Things I listen to:
    Never not funny
    Keith and the Girl
    Smodcast
    Giant Bomb
    Gamers With Jobs
    Legacy Music Hour
    Stuff You Should Know
    Radio Lab
    NYC crime report (guilty pleasure)

    Also... I watch alot of Game Grumps


    Things I used to listen to and dont anymore:
    WTF with Marc Maron - Got bored with the heavy nature of the show, I think. If I see a name I'm interested in, I will listen, but its rare now.

    Nerdist- I only listen to the hostful podcasts.

    Girl on Guy- I guess maybe I dont like interviews. Same thing, I look for names I know.

    Drunken Gamers radio- Its no longer about games

    Stuff You Missed in history class- I find the hosts alittle boring and flat

    Doug Loves Movies- Its too messy and incoherent sometimes. I tend to get lost.

    Savage Love- I just feel like I know what dan is going to before he says it. Its fun every now and then.


    Anyone have any suggestions based on those? I know that between this and music recommendations it must seem like I consume content through an IV. I have a short attention span, no cable, and I dont really watch alot of movies, so I burn through this stuff super fast. I watched the majority of gamegrumps in a week or two, and I'm just like, "goddamn it".

    Drawn this way & Make it then tell everybody are 2 good illustration/comics podcasts

  • IrukaIruka Registered User, Moderator mod
    I'll give them a shot. I think I may have tried to listen to drawn this way, but I cant remember if I was into it or not.

  • MuddyParasolMuddyParasol Registered User regular
    The Truth is a podcast that's sort of like experimental theatre in podcast form.

    Interruptible is my favorite episode so far.

    And I'm sure you've heard of This American Life

    Judge John Hodgman is good.

    Freakonomics Radio is good.

    Seconding This American Life.

    NPR's Planet Money is good if you're stupid like me and don't know much about finance or economics and want to know more about what the hell is up.

    8-4 Play is a good counterpoint to Giant Bomb, from a Japanese perspective. It's on the Giant Bomb website.

    Welcome To Night Vale isn't like any other podcast, but you should give it a shot. It's formatted like a community radio station, but with a strong lovecraftian horror vibe.

  • IrukaIruka Registered User, Moderator mod
    I used to listen to TAL, and Occasionally I hear it while driving around. A while ago it seemed like I was hitting a lot of repeat stories, or extremely long political ones, and so I fell off a bit. I listen to NPR in the car so I don't really feel the need to hit it up in podcast form anymore.

    I forgot about my brother my brother and me, I'll put that into rotation. The others seem cool too, thanks!

    Guys, stop wearing fedoras. It doesn't look good. You are not Humphrey Bogart. Its a stereotype now, and not a good one:
    http://lonelynerdsinfedoras.tumblr.com/

    Reasons I wear a fedora occasionally:

    my hair does nothing interesting
    cover burn scar on forehead so I don't get skin cancer
    can't wear baseball cap to anything you want to be taken seriously at
    old people talk to me about how gentlemen always used to wear hats
    generally more comments on physical appearance than when not wearing one
    an inside joke about the fanfara bersaglieri
    Running-Bersaglieri-4cd5430a664b0_hires.jpg

    Reasons I bought a fedora 7 years ago:

    I heard the silent call of lonely nerds everywhere?
    (I would posit that buying an attention-grabbing hat is a common move for people desperately trying to be cool, which is why I bought one in high school and why it is a lonely nerd magnet. Interestingly, when I studied in Korea it was also super-common, though cabbie hats or flat caps were the lonely-nerd-hat of choice.)

    Reasons I can no longer wear a fedora:

    reddit
    reddit
    reddit
    dawning realization that people may perceive me as a raging misogynistic douchebag and lonely nerd

    Ultimately it is a personal choice in fashion that people can judge however they want. At least wearing a fedora isn't going to bar me from employment like certain piercings or tattoos; no matter what hat I wear I'm going to be judged as something.
    i.e.
    beanie - hipster
    trucker hat - redneck
    top hat - even lonelier and nerdier

    these are all awfulllll reasons

    you can wear/dress/present yourself in so many better ways that will have better results than this

    wear your hair better, style, product, attention. Take some time on it.
    wear sun screen I guess?
    nobody will take you seriously wearing a fedora anyways
    stop talking to old people ive heard they smell bad, besides, you'll note they said 'used to'. Now gentlemen wear not-hats and this isn't the 50's.
    comments on your physical appearance aren't always a good thing


    You can dress snappy and nice and age appropriate and sexy. I believe in you. Just. Just stop wearing hats altogether.

    Reasons you can no longer wear a fedora:

    Because you could do so much better. Go to a nice store. Buy some nice clothes. Wear stuff that makes you feel good and get the positive attention you want without having to resort to a gimmick like a fedora.

    I can't wear hats specifically because I spend too much time on my hair. I'm a frilly man.

    It's possible, but you need to really werk it. I have witnessed it succeed, but it's a dangerous maneuver, much like trying to make suspenders work. The thing with it, is that 90% of the time, even if you look actually really do look GOOD with a flatcap or a newsie or whatever else, chances are you'd look even better without it.

    at least thats how i feel about hats
    but I am nearly positive that if you took a pic of yourself wearing your favourite hat, then a pic of yourself without it, you'd probably look better without it, even if you do look like a cutie with it.
