I know what you’re thinking. This is the Blue Yonder crew. I’m NOT listening to any damn thing that is tagged “watersports!” I know! I know. But listen, it’s not about what you’re thinking. Mostly not. Maybe a little? But it’s totally in a video game context, so I’m sure you can deal. If not, I have several really excellent therapists I can refer you to.
We knew a lot of you wouldn’t want to sit through even more discussion of singularity / Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, but we had to get it out of our system. This book tends to do that to you. Bonus content to the rescue! Feast your ears on even more discussion and debate about trans-humanity, the ethics and morals of artificial intelligence, plot details, writing styles, graphic content, themes, allegories, religious allusions and other art major type bullshit! Or not!
Whoa, whoa! Check out the big brains on Jim and A.Ron! We do the damn thing on technological singularities, the e-novella Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, discuss the Little Big Planet 2 demo, touch ever so lightly on minecraft, declare total victory over Unwarranted Self Importants, and do some listener feedback. There’s some hot pillow biting action too. Something for everyone! Oh, and Amish Friendship Bread is a real thing. And terrifying.
As announced in episode 44, we’re running a promotion; bring us the heads friendship of you and four other friends to our facebook page and we’ll send you a free plush ninja for your trouble.
Here’s how it works. Visit our facebook page and “like” us. Get four of your friends to do the same. Hell, they don’t even have to listen! Then send us an email saying who your friends were, what color ninja you want, and where you want the deadly assassin sent. The USPS does the rest!
This week’s show, which drops Wednesday, will feature us discussing the concepts of a technological singularity, structured around a review/debate/discussion of the e-novel, Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, which can be read in it’s entirety online. Please heed the warnings on site and below about the contents of this book. We talk about the subject in the cast proper for about 25 minutes, and will release another 40 minutes or so of the discussion as bonus content, where we really get in depth and philosophical. It’s different from our normal stuff, not as funny, per se, but very geeky and we hope interesting to you guys and gals.
I reckon it is about time to release this here bonus cast. It takes the form of a critical review of the movie, True Grit. Was it any good? Does it do the classic John Wayne justice? Is it badass? And more importantly, why is A.Ron struggling with making a folksy, western sounding news update to accompany this post?
Another week, another warm, fat brick from the golden goose. This time it comes in the form of Jim and A.Ron discussing the Chrome store, sex games on Kinect, a state of the geek update and our new year’s resolutions.
Hey guys, a bit of fresh content for your ear holes this fine post-xmas day. The entire Blue Yonder gang (including Peter!!) took in Tron:Legacy in mind-fucking IMAX3DOMFG-o-vision, and immediately returned to the newly christened (we all just peed in a corner and called it good) Bald Tower to talk about it. That’s the good news. The bad news is that there were some sound issues to overcome in the newly christened Bald Tower and poor old Tron Bonus Cast took the brunt of it.
You know, sometimes your hosts feel like they really banged out a terrific episode… and then other times the best we can say is that the data we uploaded to the old bald computer conforms to the MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format. Which kind of episode is this? Well, let’s just say that there exists an optimum amount of alcohol involved in podcasting, and the right ratio is hard to quantify at times. Our old buddy Jim might have crossed the line in this one, but I try my best to keep things professional. Even when he got a bit fresh and grabby at that one point. Hand me that doll, so I can show you where he touched me. I assure you, they were all bad places, very bad indeed.
A.Ron and Jim break down bathroom etiquette, brag a bit about Jim’s new system, “Behemoth”, and catch up the listeners on the state of the Badass, with mini reviews of Faster, and looking ahead to True Grit, the Mechanic, and Nick Cage’s latest hilarious attempt to climb Mount Badass.
