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.
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.
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.
The guys get formal and get geeky in this week’s episode. Up front is a lengthy discussion of gaming mice, as Jim breaks down every aspect of the oft-overlooked HID-Compliant device. Breaks it down into its constituent atoms. Breaks it down so it’ll never get back up.
Does a Droid suck down batteries? Do regional agreements blow? Why is the government have it in for gay marriage? Is Sony trying to pull off a plot from Superman 3? What console just celebrated it’s 25th anniversary? Does Jim have the worst taste in movies? Is Peter ever going to cast again? Explore the mysteries of life with your hosts on this week’s episode!
Every single geek has thought about it. What kind of house would they live in if they had unlimited amounts of money to build their dream home and accessorize it with all sorts of geek goodies? In episode 18 of Blue Yonder, Jim and A. Ron discuss what they would like to have in their Ultimate Geek House.
Geeks love their babes. And in that respect, Jim and A. Ron are most definitely geeks. Peter succumbs to the crack of the whip and bows out to judge the picks while Jim and A. Ron line up their top 7 geek babe picks.
Whether it’s RTS, fantasy or anime, every geek is immune to the charms of some band of the geek spectrum. Jim, Peter and A. Ron confront their biases and try to figure out why they exist in episode 12 of Blue Yonder.
Part 2 of the Star Wars vs. Star Trek podcast covers the subjective quality of each franchise. The guys bust out another Would You Rather? segment and force themselves to choose. It’s a wild, flip-floppin’ ride so hold on!
