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.
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?
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.
A. Ron and Jim saw The Expendables and needed to cast about it.
Christopher Nolan’s latest work, Inception, is receiving praise from just about everyone who has seen it, including your resident geeks. In this ultra-mega-super-saiyan spoiler-cast, the guys dig deep into the film to try to justify their theories on the meaning of it all. Listen in and then check out our forums to participate in what’s sure to be an interesting discussion!
Unfortunately, Peter is absent this week. However, Jim and A. Ron have seen Iron Man 2 and they’re read to talk about it. This is the spoiler motherload so get the fuck out the way if you haven’t seen it and don’t want to be spoiled.
Part 2 of the PAX East special is loaded full of talk about the PA Panels and our Saturday at PAX East including gaming, the Fail Now panel, WOTC and more. We also go back to Friday to talk about the Nvidia panel.
A.Ron and Jim are back from Boston and ready to talk about their experience at the very first PAX East. Was it as good as their experience at PAX Prime? Find out in the second episode of Blue Yonder! Please excuse the sound quality in this episode. We used the audio from the Skype stream in order to get the cast to you guys faster. I’ll remix it soon with much better quality.
