I will forever hold on to my very good idea of a podcast where each episode is on a niche Wikipedia page, but only one host researches it, and is allowed to just add falsehoods whenever they like. The episode ends when one of the other hosts correctly identifies a falsehood.

its funny i can sit dormant on some of the less viral drawings for this series for decades and then have them reintroduced to my eyes for a split-second and have all the surrounding details of the attached stories come rushing back

i think gammell's work for these is unironically my favorite horror art outside of ito or beksinski

and all those books had even more illustrations on the title pages, back pages, etc

i think the only parts that didn't have stringy nightmare art doodled in the margins were the indices

You've described the inverse of the radio 4 panel show The Unbelievable Truth

I think your version would probably be more entertaining though.

This may be a dumb suggestion, but maybe 'The Epic of Wonder Woman'? Ties into the whole Greek legend and includes the word 'epic' so that must surely drive content recognition.
I actually kinda like this. I think whichever one I go with, I'll toss in the word "epic" somehow.

That's pretty close to Citation Needed, but without the lie detector-y aspect. Pick a topic, read a single article about it on Wikipedia and pretend they're experts (because this is the internet, and that's how it works now).

Quite good, often funny. Like to listen to it while working. Would recommend.

i think its because its so generic and boring and safe. like you have volition making a GI-joe parody and you could do anything with it. and instead its just "idk teleportation bullshit" also bullet sponges and dead open world. like none of the characters are interesting or compelling and the world building is all over the place. its weird because i usually like small letter aaa games/AA games alot but like agents had nothing going outside some art design stuff and even that was kinda eh.

I liked a lot of the designs, but the problem was they made the squad with the least interesting ones (and in the case of Hollywood, the worst character in the game, period) front and center and made you start the game with them. Total miscalculation.

Related to your point, that team was the most direct and ultimately surface level "what if GI Joe but naughty" and then all of the other characters are different shades of out-and-out superhero (or action movie protagonist, but same thing really) instead.

yeah. none of the characters had any depth outside like 4 of them and even then it was basic poo poo. i like immature hosed up with some heart or some genuinly clever humor, i will sing praises for weird internet poo poo like viziepop and meatcanyon and poo poo by zach hendel. but like agents didnt never was clever outside a couple missions. its was just "gi joe but they say the gently caress word and make some sex jokes", thats not a bad thing and in the right hands it could be great. i did like some of the agent designs but they never DID anything with them. make me give a poo poo or laugh.

I also am newly diagnosed and this video made me both happy and sad. Took 42 years to figure out what was wrong and it turns out it's not just that I'm lazy or weak-willed or don't care enough to remember things. Wheeee.

12 minutes is spectacularly bad. it has no point holding it together. it has a gimmick and a "twist" but the twist doesn't mean anything to you, the player because you don't know, care or empathize with these people. they don't evolve beyond being dollhouse figures you're smashing together in the hopes of generating a different result. but what tips it over to funny bad is that the game did not anticipate that the player would engage in anti-social behavior.

i got the feeling i wouldn't enjoy this game basically as soon as i heard of it, and nothing i've seen or heard about it since have changed that. on the contrary, the more i see of it the more i get annoyed by this game lol

between the incest, the vapid "high-concept" chin-rubbing loving void of a story that's been hastily plugged by "shocking" twists and the compulsion to have nothing less than A-list Hollywood actors doing the voices, 12 Minutes seems to just tick every single box in the list of lovely "This Videogame Is Art, Actually" elements
