How much do we love you guys? Enough to release a cast with one member down, and two on life support. Listen as A.Ron struggles with week two of the plague and Jim actually dies ON AIR of consumption. This is the Oregon Trail of podcasts. Our wagon’s axle breaks, we lose our food and gunpowder fording the river, and the entire party dies of dysentery.
This week’s cast is HOT. You know me well enough that if we have an iffy or so-so week, I’ll tell you up front. “Under-promise and over-deliver”, that’s the A.Ron motto. In related news; I’m a mediocre lover, ladies. Rowr.
We made it to fifty episodes, bitches! FITTY! Yeah! Join Jim, Peter, and A.Ron as we look back at our first year in production. We take you behind the scenes, reminiscing about our favorite shows, what worked, what didn’t, which casts were the most popular, how our format has evolved, things we’re proud of and things that were disappointing.
Jim and A.Ron tackle one of the watershed issues of our day. The god-awful disappointment of the Star Wars Prequel trilogy. Spurned to discussion and debate by RedLetterMedia.com’s recent evisceration of Episode 3, we talk candidly about our betrayal by Uncle George. Although initially Jim is less than enthused about the top — wait! What’s that?! GOOD GOD THAT’S PETER STREET’S MUSIC!
In this week’s thrilling episode! Jim has an acute attack of Girl On The Internet Syndrome, locksmithing, the evolution of the (Friendly) Local Gaming Store, and we wade carefully into dangerous waters with the latest installment of Stafa’s corner. Finally, we tell a bald-faced lie regarding the inclusion of the fabled “Bo Jackson” content into this week’s episode. No, no! No damn crying! You’ll just have to wait for next week.
A very special episode of Blue Yonder this week, as the guys discuss a serious topic; gays and geekdom. The geek community has a rep for being open minded and progressive, but is that warranted? Why aren’t there more gay role models/heroes in science fiction, fantasy, and video games in general? It’s not all heavy, as we touch lightly on Minecraft, Breaking Bad, douchebags, and post-outro, offer up some of the finest, old school off topic outtakes we’ve had in a while.
Hey everybody! I’m finally back with another episode of Jonestown Jams. It’s been forever and I’m sure you’ve missed me. There are some minor changes to the show, as you’ll hear. I’m hoping they can keep me and my listeners interested in the show. I think this is a pretty good one. Some things to…
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.
