My 2008 timeline is almost entirely tweets about new stories from Kotaku and Rolling Stone, plus a bunch of dorky shit from Patrick, JoCo, and Wil Wheaton (who I forgot I was even following)
This Beastcast paradox question is super dumb because it's just them miscommunicating the premise and timelines to each other
The way it was described in the email was bad, because it does not give any sort of setup of if there’s a penalty or downside to taking 2 boxes. So like, obviously if you’re asked “do you want 5000 dollars or 10000” you’ll take 10000. The way the problem is presented there’s no reason you shouldn’t have intended to take 10000 before you are scanned.
Man I'm like 5 minutes into the TAZ Dust setup and I don't care
For some reason the fact that this game system leans real heavy on factions and rep and debt and even distrust within the party, I'm just like, no thanks

That stuff can be fun for players but I likewise find it pretty unengaging as a listener
It's the last point that seals it for me
I don't want a mechanic of active distrust between party members
I like the arguments and tangents that often break out, those can be very fun, but at the end of the day I DO want the party to be friends, even if it's just because they work together

Having a distrustful party was their goal going in, but in practice they ended up ignoring that aspect almost entirely while playing.
to assuage your wariness a bit, they all get along very well in the arc

Urban Shadows was a bad system for the TAZ crew (and maybe not such a great system overall, if you ask me)

I had a fun enough time with dust, even if it didn't totally execute on the promise I felt in the first ep
but it does feature an all-time great TAZ moment which made it all worthwhile

The bell scene is absolutely top tier, but is also a fine stopping point imo

Totally Reprise talked about the Catwoman movie for three hours for some fucking reason, which also means I watched Catwoman for some fucking reason! It's a very good podcast episode about a very bad movie.
oh god they put in this fucking song from the movie
"I really just felt like I needed to step in there, because, you're already losing the plot, and it had only been 10 seconds into the recording!"
"We have committed, let's see" "A crime? A sin?"
"We have committed a sin against those who listen to this podcast, because I know some of them watch everything that we talk about before they listen" "Oh, boy, if that's true, then I'm sorry" you should be
"She's a jewel thief, once!"
"We should explain why we did this." Absolutely, because I am still extremely confused.
"How many Talkin' U2 To Me bits do you want to do?" "Probably none." This episode's three hours long, you're going to slip eventually.
it was me, I was the one who made fun of them for doing that last episode
"There's a reason why they hired Halle Berry for this role, and she delivers in that front." "Well, sure." "And I do mean front."
"We open on a Warner Bros. logo. They did this. Blame them."
"This is not a Batman movie, this is barely a DC... This isn't a DC movie, in fact. This is not... this is nothing."
"And her friend is, usi-" "Horny?" "Her friend is very horny." "Her friend is extremely horny, at all times, so just keep that in mind."
"I do love, they have dressed Halle Berry in a series of clashing bedsheets, cause they want to make her to look as frumpy as possible, and the thing is you really just can't make Halle Berry look frumpy."
"His wife Yanny Hedare." ooooooooh no
"I'm just going to call her Sharon Stone from here on in, just so we can avoid all this from now on."
"You are dating this podcast." to like a fucking four-day window
"She hates everything aboout her life, and everyone in her life." "Yes, she hates everything and everyone." "I feel like Sharon Stone knows what movie she's in and is living her truth."
"And she wants to fuck Catwoman so bad."
"Catwoman is a very relatable film."
"She is horrified by the gigantic face of this new model staring down at her, as if she were the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg." I'm always here for a T.J. Eckleberg reference.
"Now it's time to introduce our token gay friend, who has like three lines."
"It is not George Hedare at this meeting, it is Yanny Hedare herself." "You need to shut the fuck up forever. You need to just, lose your words."
"Guys, I don't think this movie's good." "No, it's bad, you're right." "I don't know, it might be great." "It's also the best movie I've seen in my life."
"They definitely knew that a woman acting like a cat was a sexy thing, but they definitely shot and had Halle Berry act in the least sexy manner of every like, single version of a cat."
"I HAVE A QUESTION! I have a question."
"She's cleaned up now. Did she clean herself with her tongue?" Yes, absolutely, that is definitely what happened.
"I fucking forgot how this scene ends, and I just saw it, and I lost it again." Her getting that catnip is my favorite part of the movie.
"She is acting like she is having sex with this fuckin catnip."
"Is she going back because she knows that lady has answers or going back because she knows that lady has catnip?" "Catnip."
"I once chanted 'fuck the lights,' like, that's not a thing!"
"And now we get to the worst scene in movie history."
"They should release just this as a criterion DVD and then the rest of Catwoman as another criterion DVD."
"This was sex ed for these kids."
"By the way, we are 38 minutes into this movie without a superhero."
"Could you take the temperature, of this pussy thank you."
"She gave herself the same haircut as Judge Judy."
"I love that we are an hour and a half into this podcast, less than halfway through the movie, and we thought, yeah this is a good time to get into a Yugioh diatribe."
"I love the idea that she will not sleep on a bed anymore, because that is its express purpose, and a cat has never intentionally slept on a cat bed once."
I like the idea of this au fanfic where Batman has the same origin story as Catwoman in this movie a lot.
"It's explained that Midnight was testing Patience, and that-" "Like this movie's testing my patience!"
Ashley tried to do a Christopher Walken as Shrek impression and it didn't really work out.
"That's the thing that like, really bugs me about this movie. Weird, I know. But, there's flaws to it, if you look carefully. There's little problems, these are my cinema sins."
"Tom Lone said that he doesn't have a partner, he works tomlone"
"Also, do you think he would just like, recognize her voice, cause they've been on three or four dates now." "No, don't be ridiculous, don't be stupid, Molly." "Yeah, I'm sorry."
"I absolutely cannot fucking believe that you have kept this bit up for the entire episode, cannot fucking believe it." "I don't know what bit you're talking about, Molly." "No one will find your body, Luke. No one will find your body." He has kept up way more difficult bits than this before, I don't know why you're surprised!
"Snake's a good-ass game."
"So you're saying she's smarter than she appears." "Well yeah, she's the criminal mastermind behind this entire conspiracy!" "I don't think that means she has to be that smart." That's an extremely good point.
"Come on, Yanny." "I'm gonna shove your face into the sun and watch you burn out."
"I'm going to see the light go from this universe and your eyes at the exact same moment."
"They will find a piece of your body in every single country on this planet."
"I know, I know you've never seen a movie. I feel bad making this one of the foundational movies you've seen in your life."
"I fuckin despise you." "Would you say you totally despise me?" then the music kicks in, this is brilliant

It also kinda made me wanna know more about the stories behind the development of the games on these things.
People were just having an honest discussion on the merits of Popeye's Chicken. Everyone was very polite.
Oh dear
Giving your teeth a good clean before going to bed and once that's done it's like

NO MORE OBLIGATIONS TODAY
TODAY CAN FUCK OFF
IT'S DONE

this is definitely the most not-doing-a-bit frustrated and angry I've ever seen Jeff Gerstmann
The bell scene is absolutely top tier, but is also a fine stopping point imo
ya know, I was avoiding naming it just so as to keep it vague, but this is fairly true and probably somethin to keep in mind
it's not a very satisfying mystery, nor a very dynamic finale imo
