showbiz_liz posted:Do you know what an unreliable narrator is? It's not "person who is definitely proven to be unreliable by someone else," it's just "person you have reason to suspect might not be reliable," which I think Cecil qualifies as, especially since he frequently forgets to mention things and also lives in some sort of hell-desert where nothing is as it seems I think you're being too sceptical. I, for one, choose to believe every word that Cecil says about anything without question no matter how much proof there is to the contrary or what I believed before or how harmful it is to me personally. Have some faith!

Hey what do you guys think is going on with the twitter feed? Some sort of a setup for an ARG would be kinda cool, but propably it's just random.

When the Desert Bluffs announcer swapped places with him through that vortex, he was just as surprised by the lack of blood on Cecil's desk as Cecil was by the horrific amount of blood on the desk in Desert Bluffs.

Attention the many, many people we've already had complain to us about this: A live show could only exist in one single spot in space and time, and your personal geographical distance from that spot isn't something we can do anything about.

And there's one that actually requires a ton of references for people to sign up as hosts, minimizing the amount of rape.

The room is actually the cheapest part, it's the local bus, amtrak, and subway that adds up to like $130-140. I'd consider taking a bus all the way, but mega bus et al weren't designed for people with legs.

They're just slightly higher than every other bus company.

For anyone who was into the ambient music that was playing in the background during the bits where Cecil talked about the subway, that is actually the intro to a rather long (and eventually less ambient) song, you can hear the rest of it here: https://soundcloud.com/disparition/madoc

I am kicking myself because I started listening during the big Tumblr push two weeks or so ago and I had no idea this thread existed or it was heavily goon-made until today. I'm midway through my second listen of the series. I also often pull up the ending of One Year Later when I need something to chill out to because it's honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I am now twisting the arms of not only tumblr followers but other goons and real life friends to listen as well. I made a deal with another goon to watch a few episodes of Scooby Doo if he'd give a few episodes of WTNV a shot, so as you can see I'm basically willing to give a bloodstone sacrifice to get more people into the show. And I know that fanfiction is generally terrible and a large portion of WTNV fiction is apparently tentacle porn but this was recommended to me and I think it's pretty good, and touching, and there's no tentacles in it at all that I can remember: How I Survived My Summer Vacation, by Tamika Flynn, Age 12 3/4. (Spoilers for Summer Reading Program.) Please keep making WTNV for as long as you can. I sent in a smallish donation last week and I'll make another one soon. My last couple of weeks have been hell weeks at work because it's audit time, and WTNV has helped get me through that with my sanity both more intact and yet somehow much more unhinged. Getting into my car this morning and realizing that I had a brand new Night Vale episode to listen to on my way into work made my day 200% better.

Listened to the new episode sitting on a rock, staring at the lake through some trees. Still not as good as listening to it in bed with your eyes closed, honestly.

The bit where Cecil asks about giving away the City Council kid is by far Cecil Baldwin's best voice work in the entire series. It would still be funny on its own, but the inflection really sells it.

dj_clawson posted:OK, two things that contradict these theories: Something very few people seem to have noticed is that, while Cecil says of Kevin that "His hair and nose are like mine, but his eyes are black," Kevin says of Cecil, "He has eyes like mine, and a nose like mine, and hair like mine." In other words, Cecil has black eyes and doesn't seem to know it. Or else Kevin perceives black eyes where they don't actually exist. Or he meant "his eyes are like mine, except in that they're not black."

That would make sense that Cecil doesn't look into mirrors because his mother said "someday you're going to die and it's going to involve a mirror." I'm sure manmona is laughing his head off at us right now.

I think you guys are reading a little too deeply into this, it's just a fun little podcast that includes actual forethought and writing.

I'm absolutely thrilled about the Brooklyn show. Will you give us some advance warning for when they are going on sale so we can time it properly? I really want to make sure I can make it and it doesn't sell out. I'm looking forward to supporting you guys as much as possible. Also, I'd like to second or third, etc the fact that Ep 25 was probably the greatest thing that ever happened to me... I was on the treadmill and almost fell off and died because my heart just about exploded in tiny little pieces. Feels, man. You guys are the best.

If Night Vale really is coming to Brooklyn then you will probably be able to tell when by keeping an eye out for an excess amount of sand.

There's gonna be a show on the 10th of Oct, but sadly I don't live in that borough so any influx of sand or floating cats would go unnoticed by me. I'd be wicked bummed if I missed it because it sold out too quickly and I wasn't prepared, that's why I'm asking

JohnnyCanuck posted:I know this was a typo but it's also a perfect marketing opportunity. No, no. That would be Desert Bluffs, ugh. Bitter and peppery with terror hiding just behind. Night Ale would be more of a dark brew with a mixed chocolaty or coffee. You see how dark and foreboding it looks, but end up tasting its sweet depth and sophistication.
