Kitchin uninterrupted takes some focus for me, much like nanowrimo, it's so all over the place and you gotta follow along as he "connected to dots" to get the full hilarity.

Second time I had to pause 3-4 times to do things, and then I got so much more out of it.

So I usually listen to podcasts on shuffle at work, and yesterday one of the AboveTopSecret episodes came on. Someone (I think Portax?) was excited about the dragon thread because she always loves to read about dragons.

Next episode was the dragon dildo one.

I noticed this kind of thing happened a bunch. I think they made a gamerscore joke in the cosplay or wedding episode, and then very shortly after we were introduced to bboy360. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps when recording it gives them idea on what content to review next, who knows.

It's also worth remembering that there must be tons of even more infuriating crap they review and either reject outright or record and later edit out, so them losing their minds during the recording could just be the tipping point after content we never got to hear.

And it's all worth it for the bit during the Mars episode where they begin joking about what kind of idiocy would prompt their frustrations.

You realize there's like, actual debate over AS and when she brought it up she was talking about the assholes doing the whole "Oh my god it talked about how families of severely autistic children have hard times I GUESS THEY WANT AUTISTS IN DEATH CAMPS HUH" right?

Also yea she's an animator, and I can kinda understand a professional being annoyed over lovely patreon 'I'm drawing a lovely webcomic I want this to be my sole job please fund that internet' poo poo.

I can also sympathize with artistic endeavors being an incredibly difficult career to gain steady employment/income in, and that seeing hack fraud jokers get hundreds per month for garbage and still asking for more can be infuriating. Whether it's funny to hear or not is personal preference (I get a kick out of the honest rants), but the same passion that encourages them to make all these podcasts is also what leads to the occasional angry tangent and I'm totes fine with that trade-off.

A couple of episodes have had versions of that. For one example, I can't recall the episode itself, but I distinctly remember Isfahan saying, "OK, nothing didn't happen as much as that," and now he'll stop by shortly to tell us which one it was. Trust me, this is gonna work.

(Failing that, all we need to do is cross-reference the episodes with Isfahan and the episodes with implausible stories. Piece of cake.)

Feels like something Bozarth said in the recent hypnosis episode? Or the magick one. "It shouldn't be so hard to create a promiscuous gay sex story" (paraphrased) may have been from the same ep you're looking for.

I recently picked up a PS4 and was doing some basic reading on well-reviewed games from the past two years and whatnot and holy poo poo I didn't realize the stupid #GG thing was that drat ubiquitous across all sites and boards and whatnot. I think it took three clicks to go from a reputable review site to something worse than stormfront.

Pretty much. It's the same trash people who have been harassing women in gaming like Anita Sarkeesian for years, but the Zoepost, Adam Baldwin coining "#gamergate", and 4chan kicking them out gave them something to rally around. And then from there they picked up a lot of followers from the dregs of reddit - the kind of people who use the terms "SJW" and "cultural marxism" with no irony - and Milo at Brietbart decided they were his new cause to champion (since cheer him on for writing easy clickbait articles about the people they hate). It's one big poo poo Katamari, basically.

Happy to not know anything about those people or places aside from Sarkeesian. Life in the bubble is goooood.

I went back and listened to the very first episode and it's much better than I was expecting considering what Lemon seemed to think about it in 200a. It made me laugh quite a bit and I didn't think it was all over the place. Was the bumper recorded at a later time though?

I find that the early episodes were great, the material itself was definitely fantastic and the sense of humor and rapport was always there. Just took some time to find their rhythm for intro'ing and segueing and it really kicked into high gear when the mid-read banter and riffing became more and more common.
