whoa god do i sound punchy, hooray for tedious work weeks

last night I was hanging out with one of the unattainable women I've had a years-long giant crush on, (and her boyfriend,) and found out she was born in Wyoming :o

I broke down and dl'ed it on my wireless mega-capped internet connection.
In essence, I've just paid money to listen to your podcast, so you must be doing something right.

This should be the official tagline/promotional quote of Borecast.

7:15. yes, National Lampoon is currently published as Harvard Lampoon, back to the original roots of the show. My supposition is mainly for the Vacation movies.
-
:lol "I like to kill the daylight!"
-
I listened and TBH, I wasn't really feeling either the last Borecast or this one.
On an upside, I see that a used copy of Krackerjack'd goes for less than $1 at Amazon. Even with shipping costs, that might just make it worth the price.
-
This week's indefensible looks like it could be entertaining. :lol
Though putting Miyamoto in the same company as Atlas Shrugged? I assumed Drinky was just disillusioned/disappointed with Miyamoto, not actively pissed off at him.
Will give a listen shortly.

Can you pinpoint why you're losing interest? We like to hear constructive criticism.

The topics don't really interest me these days. I'm not a fan of British comedy, I already knew why some women love Twilight, and the Indefensible portion has backslid into a mixture of backhanded compliments and assistance from the guests! I understand it is called "indefensible" and Prole did pretty well for a while. I understand Wyoming and especially Wii Music are hard things to defend but anyone can turn shit into chardonnay for a few minutes.
Episode 10, I don't really have time to watch direct to TV movies nor have I seen too many. I'm not a fan of RTS or PC gaming especially so it was hard to pay attention to the gaming discussions.
I didn't clarify this in my previous post because objectively, the content is just fine. It is just my personal tastes that are in the way from enjoying the show.
-
Oh, it was about Wii Music? I thought it was about miyamoto in general.

Spending 20 minutes talking about Direct-To-Video films and not mentioning Troma Entertainment is insane. They've spent at least a decade producing amazing straight-to-DVD content, and seem to completely understand just how far they can push a shoestring budget. They publish everything for super-exploitive splatterfest genre flicks to weird experimental projects. Lloyd Kaufman, the company's frontman, is always entertaining and outspoken. I think it's fair to say there probably won't ever be another production company like this one.
Trailer for their last "big" release, Poultrygeist:

I had similar feelings to The Experiment about those segments mentioned (britcoms and straight2dvd movies), but it is not enough to make me stop listening. My favorite part of the Borecast is the recommendation portion, with particular faves being the Horror fiction and WWII game recommendation episodes. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, as content on the whole is good

i've been really off my game the last two episodes, on account of being overworked and rather exhausted. hopefully i'll return to form in indefensible for episode 11!
-
we were both ill-prepared for the last episode
originally we were just going to do a really short first segment and fill in the rest with outtakes/edits from past shows (because prole and i have both been really busy lately), so both of us were working off the top of our heads in the D2V segment - we were going to put it off until next show but decided at the last minute to go ahead with it since it was the QotS
so there were a lot things in that segment that i forgot to mention and kicked myself afterward, troma being one of the bigger slips
we can always do a D2V Round 2 segment in the future, just as we plan to revisit more British TV genres in the future with Eric
if there are any topics you guys would like to suggest just let us know or drop us a PM - I'm trying to put together a "morgue" of ideas we can draw on in the future instead of scrambling a couple of days before we record
-
i think some of you will get a kick out of the borecast pain club, btw

"...There's butter on my head..."

Dammit. Totally fucking forgot about the review this week.
Next week I want to do two movies. Terminator and Star Trek. The Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza. Of course, now that my schedule is a lot lighter, I will not have to take a break anymore.

So I recently bought ZOE 2nd runner, which is very,very,very rare here in Europe. I usually have buyers remorse everytime I buy things that I had already owned at one time. But it looks like I really am not this time.
So I was wondering if you guys could discuss any games you'd adore so much, that you'd purchase it for a hefty price[ if anything happened to the original copy].
And what are to you the most under-rated games ever?
Also, who are the best game developing studios in your opinion?
I look forward to your take on this.
Good luck guys.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again
:bow Prole and Eel :bow2
Downloaded it a few days ago. Will listen when I get a chance.

The reanimated penis made me think of South Park right off the bat.
