Title: A Life Well Wasted
Post by: Don Flamenco on February 06, 2011, 02:13:21 PM
anyone else listen to this?  I heard like 4 eps in 2009, then decided to pick it up again...only to find he has only released 4 more eps since then, all of which I listened to while driving last night :lol   I don't care what Robert Ashley tries to say in the GAF thread though-- this is This American Life ripped completely, but about games instead.  Which is perfectly fine...way preferable to the "4 journos in a room trying like shit to be funny" format of every other gaming podcast.


the section about the guy with the 13.5 inch penis in the last episode was crazy.  Gotta respect the guy for not instantly turning to porn, but he's 40 now and hasn't cut it as a game journalist.  He could become a multi-millionaire overnight in the porn business.  also, he seemed like he had no concept of boundaries at all...the interview was very awkward towards the end.

Jonah Falcon was a huge Xbot and hated Sony as much as Manabyte.  He used to post in USENET and get into endless squabbles with sfags.  It was pretty hilarious to see people troll him about his huge dong.  I had no idea what they were talking about until I googled his name and then  :o

But the size of Falcon's brain has to be inversely proportional to his genitals.  Dude was one of the dumbest posters ever, even in that shithole.

he sounded a little dumb on the show.  Like, he started off kinda strong, then he started talking about his dick, and I was wondering if the show was even real at that point.  Then Robert Ashley's like "this is the guy who can be supreme nerd by day and a hung monster at night" and all this stuff.  The show hypes him up at first, then shoots him down.

Then he's obviously way too into talking about his dick--emphasizes that way too much...like "hey guys i need a writing job, i like games, I GOT A 13.5 INCH PYTHON IN MY JEANS, and i, uh, like gaming."  Towards the end Jonah was just showing his shlong to Robert, offering to give him pictures of himself naked so Robert could show his friends, and very awkwardly asking to friend Robert on facebook :rofl 

and then you find out he's living with his mom. 



The craziest part of the show was the Tetris investor guy though.  I can't even begin to guess how rich he is and all because he just kinda liked Tetris at a CES show and wanted to publish it in the west.

Jonah is derpity derp dumb. I saw a BBC documentary a few years back about huge penises (:ninja), they dedicated a third of the show to interviewing him. It was kinda sad how his big penis couldn't help him achieve anything.

it could, but he refuses to do porn.  I can't think of another career where a huge cock is an advantage.  besides prostitution.
