Should Lockdown ever stop?
-Yes
-No
-Let it play forever. Let it become the noise of the universe.
I''ll let you guess which is winning.
I really like the way those two photos line up
Reminds me of a flip book I had as a kid with mix and match head body and legs
The Homestuck fandom created some really incredible music
What's your favorite fandom?
You could probably do some interesting, like, knife play with one of those bladed fans, sure.
Before 2015 I would tell you that I really loved the easy, casual feel of the Ghostbusters fandom but in the end death comes for us all I guess.
But there is a strong argument to be made that it is, in fact, Bad
The world may never know
wait
It feels like a long-forgotten bawdy joke. "Hey, you heard the one about the rich German who wants to have sex with his wife's ghost?"
I know plenty of people who love it now that could never get into it when it was live who would very much disagree.
as someone who just read it as a whole
I cannot imagine reading that thing as it updated live
ineedmayo.com Eidolon Journal Updated
one of the main guys from Night Vale and John Darnielle are starting a show, what could that be??
No. No, I have not. Tell it to me.
would you like me to tell you about it
It played havoc with shipping charts, I tell you what.
So thats....great
"You know what the world really needs? It's more white dudes talking about politics."
"So speaking of promoting the movie, who's ready to talk about the movie some more?"
This podcast will still be talking about that movie every episode after everyone else has forgotten that it even happened.
"So hear me out. Apparently, okay. The movie being out, despite the fact that nobody saw that movie, drove the sales of the toys of the other Power Rangers shit, sooooooooo, what if we just, like, if we're gonna treat the movie as a toy commercial, and that fails, what about if we just don't make a movie, but make commercials for a movie that isn't being made, people will see those commercials for a nonexistent movie, and then go to buy the toys." "Okay, Simon, you're on some Producsers shit right now and I wanna get on board."
E3's biggest reveal, a pachinko machine at a juice bar
"There's not enough actual like, pachinko-ness to that monster that they couldn't pass it off as pinball." "I mean, I don't see a single Konami franchise on it. It's not right."
"Simon, it doesn't cost me any money to jerk it, but I can't stop."
"It's probably not non-magical, given that all of our problems are magical."
Goldar is definitely in the yakuza in my opinion.
"Have I told the story on this show about, it was not a putty fight, I was imagining I was fighting Foot ninjas as a ninja turtle, and I punched a tree and almost broke my hand? Have I told that story?" "I don't know if you've told that story, but I feel like I know it anyway."
"A TREE BEAT ME UP!"
"God damnit, I fucking hate you people. Except you, Em, you're cool." "Thanks, Matt, I like you too."
"You know, let's not gloss over the fact that this fuckin' pachinko monster talks in rhyme." That is another thing he inexplicably does.
"Okay, let's just, let's just rip this bandaid off: this scanner thing that Alpha's got in this episode is 100% a sex toy."
"Oh it's a rabbit, is what you're telling me. Gotcha." "Yeah." "Which is why Mike noticed." JESUS CHRIST
Oh, War and Beast also discusses the theological implications of its show, that's an Audio Entropy theme that doesn't really fit with the other ones.
"No, I'm going to posit something else, Tor literally exists for steppy." what
"I learned my lesson, like, in my mental checklist of things never to touch, because they might have a magic spell on them, I put a checkmark next to 'pachinko.'"
"I loved this episode as a kid and I love it now."
I'd say put the Soccadillo on a baseball team, just to see what happens.
THE KIDDY KONG HATEMAIL WAS A JOKE
"Yes, because Kiddy Kong is a joke." "You made that comment on the facebook thing too, Joel." "It's very important people know, and not everyone's on facebook." "That's true."
"I am not invested in this conversation at all."
"I would rather have 100 baby Marios than Kiddy Kong."
"balls balls balls balls balls balls" "balls balls balls balls balls" "balls balls balls balls of steel" why
HIT THE LEVER
yo hold on what
The story plays better in the context of the podcast, when you're hearing all about the trials and travails of feuding magicians in the late 1800s and then this happens. But here it is, for folks that don't listen to The Dollop.
Then, they get a new client. A wealthy German businessman who comes back, week after week. He's a widower, and desperately misses his wife. One day, he asks if they can summon his wife's spirit fully. So they say, "Sure," and scour the town for a woman who resembles the German's deceased wife enough. They cover her in gauze and paint, making her look all spectral, and put on a little show where she appears. The German is ecstatic. They charge him obscenely for this, and he gladly pays.
But he asks them if they can do it again, and this time, leave him alone in the room with her for an hour. So they say, "Sure," and scour the town for a sex worker who resembles the German's deceased wife enough. Somehow, they pull this off.
The day arrives, and the German man and the ghost-wife/prostitute are left alone. But mere minutes into their rendesvous, the magicians hear a scream coming from in the room.
The magicians rush in, and discover that the German had gotten so excited by all this that he had a heart attack, and died en flagrante.
The magicians carry the body out into the street, intending to just leave it there - it was the 1800s, and you could get away with that. But a cop sees them. They explain the insane situation to him, and pay him a hefty bribe of "everything they'd made off this dumb idea," and have to clear out of town.
I have never been so simultaneously proud and ashamed of a joke.
Yeah, that's the right way to feel about that I think.
I am simultaneously horrified and amused and thank you for telling me this good, good story.
Isn't that what keeps you in business?
I'm overdue for a re-read of Achewood, I haven't gone through it in about five or six years
yo hold on what
I teared up hard when Beef proposed.
That is a REALLY GOOD Abby
this video is very good, holy moly. I totally forgot about the
