This week we cover a lot of ground; stand up desks, Vibram Five Finger “shoes”, Cloud Girlfriends, a mini-review of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, nerd fitness updates, feedback from our listeners, update on the Blue Yonder Curse, and finally, Jim Jones makes an epic, not-to-be-missed accent debut in this week’s edition of Stafa’s Corner!
You’re not going to believe the twists and turns this week’s episode brings! We learn about the relative safety of nuclear power, a glimpse into the guy’s latest gaming habits, risky WOW behavior, and Peter and A.Ron square off in a heated no holds barred bad-accent contest. Enjoy!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
