Brentalfloss is cool. He can be the fourth brother. It's just the entire thing is so loving dour because it's US centric and we can't go a week without something monstrous happening.

ALFbrot posted:I can't imagine listening to a Travis podcast with no brothers Yeah, I tried The Kind Rewind for a while when they were doing Firefly since I hadn't watched it in forever. It was rough between the show not aging as well and being able to tell the news about Whedon that came out in the middle of the rewatch soured Travis' opinion of the show a bit. No real mention of the show being a rewritten narrative of the Civil War being a hard sell in the current climate either. Another thing that stuck out was him constantly tripping over himself to not disagree too much with Theresa.

credburn posted:I like their news roundup (Trends Like These) but with Courtney Enlow's contribution they're just a series of news bits with random misandry thrown in. I get that a lot of men are awful, but she takes it to a playground kind of mentality. Saying Hitler had some skill in painting is not "a defense of Hitler." It's just a loving fact, or a statistic. Saying Donald Trump has comparatively good grammar on Twitter is not a defense of Trump's character or anything else, it's just an observation of a skill or a trait. Her minutes-long, fallacy-prone rants about how men are awful are painful to listen to because somehow she takes a simple, pretty much self-driving argument (many men in power are awful people) and somehow manages to fill it so full of subjective bullshit, personal anger and frustration and grossly exaggerated interpretations of what other people said or did that it ruins the argument. It's like taking a rapist and then also accusing him of being awful to animals. Like, maybe he is, but stick to the argument if all your evidence is about how awful rapists are and has nothing to do with puppies. sexpig by night posted:sir the question was 'is this your handwriting'

Four or five random idiots basically taking over the show one after another, coming up and grabbing the mic uninvited to tell the brothers about a years old waste management publicity campaign in Florida or some stupid poo poo. Who is YOUR cheese Daddy? Someone has the explanation and gives it, then person after person keeps coming up saying "I SAW IT TOO!" until one attempts to lure Griffin off the stage to his death with photos of the ad that he really doesn't care about but just wants to finish the drat bit.

I'm glad they edited out the obnoxious part of one of the audience questions from the Milwaukee show. They asked one of the girls her name and she said "My name is somethings gone wrong" and the brothers all collectively basically told her gently caress you say your name don't get cute.

It's also a prime warning sign that things are going to get Civil War Ghost Raccoon. Funnily enough, another prime warning sign is an actual sign.

Yeah, it's kinda funny in the moment, I guess, but you're at a live show and you're gonna try to goof one them when they ask you your name? Seems kinda rude, honestly, and I'm glad they yelled at her and I wish they left it in.

The crazy parrot lady was kinda the perfect 'this is a dumb quirky joke question but it sounds like an actual problem'

Al Borland Corp. posted:I can't listen to it. The news sucks too much and neither one of them are really that great at taking about it. The last thing I want to listen to is more news coverage Well, you know, that's kind of why I listen to it. I'm a lovely liberal and I usually agree with them; they tell me what they think sucks and I probably will, too. It's kind of like getting an update from your buddies. And Travis and Brent are so good spirited that it makes it pretty endurable. But Enlow doesn't really have a good spirit to her. It's just anger and misandry. I mean, they have a segment called "The Terrible Men Segment," it's not like this show doesn't have a lot of updates about how lovely men in power can be. I'm a white cisgender male, it's not like I'm offended. What offends me about her isn't who she is attacking (generally white cisgender men) but that she does so with such sloppy handling, full of fallacies and a lot of this kind of "and I don't give a gently caress if you don't like it" interjections that aren't effective to anyone. Edit: I still listen to the show. I want to say the most recent one is fine, and last week's was okay. Maybe someone talked to her; the ones she guested on before that were rampant with her seething vitriol. credburn fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Feb 20, 2018 |

I believe the PbtA system license is free, though, so you can make your own game based on it without having to pay, which is why it's a relatively popular system for indie RPGs.

He makes his bones selling the core system to gamers, and yea his KS did great near entirely because he has the rep of 'that guy who made the system tons of other great indie devs have used for their games'. Dude's firmly got himself a respected spot in the RPG world, which is very good.

One of my favorite Travis moments is still when he's explaining frozen chicken rings to his brothers, and he says "they've made me sick every time I've eaten them, and I just bought 2 big bags". I hope his diet has improved since then, but holy poo poo was it fun to listen to being described.
