In this "general interest" episode we celebrate bad writing we still enjoy from books/film/tv, then investigate the world of Facebook games (50:30), and wrap it up with an Indefensible segment so bad we have to preemptively apologize for it (1:04:29).

Downloading. Gonna be stuck at work until around 4AM because of idiots. It makes me happy that the Borecast is here. YAY!
-
You or Drinky read the Dark Tower series and experience that ending? :lol
-
I read part of the first one, didn't much care for it. I hear King writes himself into the story towards the end. I can't stand that kind of self-fellating, haha.
-
He does and in the last book he addresses it in a post write up. States that he didn't want to be seen as purposefully stroking his ego by placing himself within it. I personally didn't care for it either (among other things he decided to do with the scenario). But I love the characters he created and evolved throughout the whole series.
-
You know, I'm a little surprised at the lack of MR. Howell in the Gilligan's Island Love Pillow discussion.
-
I read the first Dark Tower book and liked it, but I never got around to reading any of the others. Probably just as well.
-
From reading the Wiki for the dark Tower series, its supposedly tied to J. J. Abrams who would be Producing and Directing some Movie or TV Series. I would love to see something good come from that.
Also, the podcast has got me interested in watching Dexter. I need to pick it up.

Yes, yes you do. Now is an especially good time since the new season starts in 5 days.
-
Dexter is awesome.
I saw Eel on XBL burning through one of the seasons, I gather it was probably for the Borecast.
-
Facebook games are awesome. Poker is the shit.
-
G.I. Joe is still awesome, and I won't hear any arguments to the contrary.
-
:bow Death Gate Cycle :bow2 I remember those

On the subject of bad writing, I used to read Brian Jacques' Redwall series when I was 12 or so.

I liked the books for the war aspect and some of the animals were cool like badgers. I knew it was shitty at the time, especially when Jacques would digress and describe just food for several pages.

I read those books too! Even back then I thought they were just an okay diversion; my favorite author back then was David Eddings.

well, we have two listeners who will be interested in tehjaybo's furcadia experience
-
I would say that it is furry-related, but the books are completely asexual.

I was just a kid! I didn't know any better! Don't you dare judge me, Prole!

Late, late tonight or possibly early tomorrow morning for Episode 20. Audacity froze and crashed on me when I was just about finished editing it last night, and corrupted one of the imported vocal tracks. So I basically have to start a new project file and edit the entire show over again when I get home from work this evening :(
-
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BORECAST???
I wanted to hear about tehjaybo's furry adventures.

i caught a nasty flu bug which has delayed the episode after the one kevin will post later this week :(
