Author Topic: NEW Borecast Episode 5 Part 2: Kierkegaard Stomped His Dreamcast up now (Read 36515 times)

Eel O'Brian · « **on:** March 16, 2009, 12:28:57 PM »

This episode contained entirely too much HELLS YEAH for one show, so we broke it into two parts to spare the weak-hearted! Topics include Myspace/Facebook/Twitter and "social networking," suggestions for Anime shows that won't make your skin crawl, and a Watchmen review from our very own Nick! Also, the return of a special friend from a faraway land!

Part 2 will go up Friday the 20th!

"does the rise in the popularity of hp lovercract coincide with trends in the rise of secular horror concerns (body) vs religous ones (soul)?"

"secular horror seems to me that the concerns are fears of earthly concerns "now", wheras religious horrors are terrified of "after""

"of course modern religious horror does exist and it seems to try to have it both ways, physical pain THEN death THEN afterworldly angst."

People on the internet are now seeking the quickest, smallest and easiest way communicate. First there was websites, then forums, then blogs, and finally bit sized tweets. That's the way direction which all social networking are taking in their evolution.

i think there's a legitimate concern for how this rewires our brains for interaction

but then the problem is giving voice to the concerns without sounding like neil postman and susan jacoby's lovechild

Quote

As soon as this thread was posted he sent many thought provoking tweets to fill his front pages and hide his other tweets.

i'm still digesting a short history of religious (read "judeo-christian") horror in modern times and coupled with thoughts about the uptick in lovecraft's popularity over the past 15 years (i recall at time when NONE of his stuff was in print for the mass market)

i thought blogs were great, and turned me on to a lot of material i would otherwise not have picked up on, but now i am noticing a lot of people i used to follow have abandoned their excellent blogs for twittering or tweeting or whatever the fuck it is called

some day there will probably be an even shorter posting service, which condenses your 140 characters into an acronym

"twit"

which of course stands for "This Wasn't InTended." The final shot of this lurid drama is the dotcom billionaire unable to express his anguish for what he was turned our discourse into. He raises his hands to heaven and shouts "!" at an uncaring G.

I remember it being good for the time. Typical TV animation.

Drinky, no fan-servicey-bouncy titties in Slayers? Have you never seen the movies/OVAs? Gourry is replaced by huge-breasted Naga The Serpent!

One Piece also has its bouncy-big-breasteses too. Especially movie #7. It's animu, you can't escape it.

(Image removed from quote.)

Yeah, they drop in the fan-service some in the OVAs, way more than was in the regular TV series. Having said that, the Lina/Naga team-up is comedy gold.

Slayers NEXT and TRY had some particularly good shit, such as the last episode of NEXT (imo anyway).

I thought stuff that would be considered 'MANime' something like Fist of the North Star, with big burly burly men hitting each other with geysers of blood pouring out in every other scene?

Also, the kids in FMA aren't trying to find a way to bring their mom back (at least, the goal of the series), but rather how to get their bodies (or body parts) back. :eng101

I stopped doing the social networking thing when I got a message from a friend's younger sister asking to be her friend; that shocked me so much that I just stopped and never thought about using Facebook or anything like that again.

i usually pen up the intro and any transitional text, but the majority is a brain dump -- which explains why i digress at the drop of a hat. you know, just to see what the end result is, i'mma have some notes penned up for next time.

Listened to it.

1st part - It was good. I didn't agree with all of it but most of it, especially the part about giving out info online.

2nd part - Bloodwake did a pretty nice job.

3rd part - Admittedly, I started getting tired here. I thought it ran on for too long. Names and descriptions started running into each other.

This podcast continues to improve and mature.
