Title: Borecast Episode 7: Wines That Go With Gaming Laptops, Objectivism, & Lasagna
Post by: Eel O'Brian on April 13, 2009, 07:14:58 PM
It's an episode for connoisseurs, as we welcome our wine aficionado guest Cory to talk about fine wines, gaming laptops, Ayn Rand, and...the Nintendo DSi? And Nick reviews Adventureland for all you children of the 80s!

Direct Download Link - http://media.libsyn.com/media/borecast/Borecast7.mp3

SEGMENT ONE: How To Add Some Class To Your Hangover

Want to try wine, but are bewildered as to where to start? Let Kevin be your proxy dumbass, as Cory and Doug school him on the different types of wine, good starter wines, and tasty wine/food pairings.

For more thorough wine coverage, be sure to visit Cory's wine blog at www.saignee.wordpress.com

(23:53) We each share our fond memories of alcohol poisoning with some hazy recollections of drunken antics past!

SEGMENT TWO: What If Hot Topic Sold Gaming Laptops, and Now You Can Take Pictures of Yourself While Touching

(36:50) Thinking about buying a gaming laptop, but you're on a budget? Doug and Kevin give an audio tour of the Asus G50vt-X5 and X1, two Best Buy exclusive gaming laptops for under $900. All the specs, the pros and cons, and benchmarks of some recent games for all you framerate junkies. Pics of our systems will go up later on our site.

(57:03) Doug reviews the new Nintendo DSi and all the special little pokemans he bought with it, along with some general Nintendo criticism.

SEGMENT THREE: Why Were They Called Members Only Jackets When Anyone Could Buy Them?

(1:12:00) Nick reviews Adventureland, the new 80s flashback film from the director of Superbad!

SEGMENT FOUR: Is A Cat Not Entitled to the Sauce of His Lasagna?

(1:18:00) We answer some listener comments, and offer a couple of corrections from last show.

(1:24:52) INDEFENSIBLE! Doug snuggles up with Ayn Rand for five minutes, and offers up a tagline for Bioshock 3.

(1:35:40) Doug pulls out his claws and sinks Garfield: Lasagna World Tour directly into Kevin's jugular for the third part of The Borecast Se7en Challenge. Also, a bit of discussion about playing games in the context they were developed.

Official Borecast Prize Pack Rules: We keep forgetting to mention that in addition to the Seven Deadly Turds from the Borecast Se7en Challenge, listeners will also win an eighth, good game. Send the links to your voice reviews to comments@borecast.com - or post your haiku/limerick reviews in the comments section of the show notes at http://www.borecast.com/ Be sure and include an email address (we won't make it public) in the event you're chosen as the winner!

Finally, we measure our respective booze levels, and offer up a salute to a true survivor, Cory's friend Matt Wright.

Be sure to listen next episode on April 27th for your chance to win a recent, AAA-rated game!

Natalie is totally hotter than Blair, dude.  Also, I'm with you--I wouldn't know where to pit it.  It would get more time on the front page in OT, but more people in Gaming probably know Drinky.  We could just let it in gaming for an hour and then once we're sure it's dead, move it to OT where it magically becomes new content.

next episode is, no lie, a contest for a good recent game, separate from the 7 challenge

Pinot Noir sucks.  Drinky recommended a bottle and I didn't get drunk after chugging the entire thing.  That's my wine store.  At least my wine story that does not involve a box of wine.

Back when I was 17 and living on mah own I soaked through a mattress with red box wine vomit.   Waking up in that was so nasty.  My face felt marinated in wine.

Oh yeah, consider it yours.

And I stand by:  Wine sucks.  I could probably chug and 2 bottles selected from out local Top Foods (it is the closest decently stocked joint) and still not be drunk enough to not break 90mph.

Have you guys considered adding a small segment about what you guys are currently playing? 

Your target audience is composed of primarily people who are at least part-time gamers. 

I think it'd be nice to hear the hosts' thoughts on games that they've been recently playing or maybe that's too cliche? 


Cmon, Cohen, I want you to post 2 (preferably non-red) wines that will get me wasted if I consume a bottle of each.

If that's all you want from wine, I could just ask my sis to send you some prescriptions for barbiturates.

TA would be a good guest for a right leaning counterpoint.

He isn't insane (FOC) but the podcast attitude isn't one of ripping at each other's throats for having a different opinion.  So you'd want a guest that is a little more level headed than that.

Send the links to your voice reviews to comments@borecast.com - or post your haiku/limerick reviews in the comments section of the show notes at http://www.borecast.com/ Be sure and include an email address (we won't make it public) in the event you're chosen as the winner!

So, is this a review of the Borecast, or a review of a shitty game?

I listened to the segment on Garfield.  Mostly it made me think about why IGN bothers having people review all that low-rent crap.  Are the clicks generated by that text even going to cover the cost of making a freelancer spend a few hours with the game and write about it?  Do they do this just for the prestige that comes with having a review for every obscure piece of shovelware that gets hoisted onto the market?  There can't be more than a couple hundred people interested in reading a Garfield review.....but if IGN reviews every similar piece of software then the aggregate of all those niche reviews probably keeps people at their site.  It's kind of an interesting way to run a gaming site, and I'm curious how much it pays off.
 
Something like the Borecast 7 challenge might be a little more interesting if the games were announced in advance and they were all games that we could download and play together before listening.  I guess it's not as fun as hand-picking some turd you've never heard of out of the clearance bin at Wal-Mart, but I imagine there's plenty of awful games to be found on Steam or XBox Live (Community Games is a treasure trove of crap as is the iTunes Game Store).  You could have a thread about it specifically, then read responses from that thread on the podcast. 

It might work better for Hulu/Netflix Watch-It-Now movies, because even if you're torturing Kevin with some awful $5 Steam game I'm not sure how many people would really pay to try it out.

I was using Pamela Call Recorder to record the skype stream, and Audacity to edit

then I run the edited wav segments through a program called The Levelator, then back to Audacity to assemble and add the bump music

For this episode we each recorded our separate tracks on Audacity using skype as a monitor, and I also used Pamela for a backup in case something went awry - Doug and Cory sent their tracks to me, and I used Audacity to line everything up

there were a couple of hitches, and we got out of sync a couple of times, but overall it wasn't much harder than editing a single track recording

that's the way we'll probably go from now on

Listening now, the section on wine is extremely interesting, as someone who is just starting to develop a taste for it... looks like Genghis and I have similar tastes in wine so far.

Seems like the sound issues have been fixed as well. I need to start pimping the 'cast to some people I know.

Bloodwake: Yeah, there's an Adventureland in Farmingdale, though I'm not sure whether or not the film was based off that one in specific... I think it was a place in Pennsylvania or something in the film.

Just finished listening to this episode. Excellent stuff, as always. As with Jinfash, you guys lost me at the beginning with all the highbrow wine talk, but the drunk stories were all smile-worthy. I also had to skip Nick's review of Adventureland as I was planning to watch it over the weekend.

I haven't read Atlas Shrugged yet (I am, admittedly not a fan of fiction books in general), so Indefensible was another topic that I wasn't quite able to enjoy fully, but again, listening to Doug fume over the airwaves was good times.

Oddly enough I kinda want to play that Garfield game now thanks to Kevin's more-or-less glowing recommendation. :lol

just now listening, great so far. congrats to mrs cohen on being the first female on the borecast. I lol'd at doug's "i like my peenos":lol (i know that it's spelled pinot).

sharing some of my drinking stories, which all involve cops:

-At the tender age of 16, I was at a houseparty that was busted by the cops. There was so much alcohol that the breathalyzers were registering over the limit for minor in possession (at the time it was 0.02 bac) while in the house just from air saturation. We had to go outside to blow. Also, some guy that was 21 jumped through a bathroom window in efforts to escape, only to be tackled by the cops soon thereafter  :lol My first MIP  :'(

-About a year and a half later (only 17, lol) at a house party in the country and a shitload of cops even bring several german shepherds. Myself and 6 friends hid in a tiny cramped room connecting the basement to the garage for 4 hours, until the cops finally found us. 2nd MIP  :'( What a huge waste of resources, cops breaking up a house party with K9s, oh well thats a whole other subject. That's really about it though, I sowed my wild seeds in highschool thankfully, so I was a straight arrow in college  8)

What follows are perhaps the most difficult-to-realise stage directions in the history of opera: the fire flares up as the Rhine overflows its banks, bearing the Rhinemaidens on its waves. Hagen madly tries to steal the Ring from them and drowns. The Rhinemaidens swim away, bearing the Ring in triumph. The Hall of the Gibichungs collapses. As the flames increase in intensity, Valhalla comes into view in the sky. Bright flames seem to flare up in the hall of the Gods, in which the Gods can be seen, finally hiding them from sight completely. The curtain falls.
