ashpanash posted:Why would a plumber be fighting a monkey? Mario was originally supposed to be "a dude" saving his girlfriend from the clearly king kong-inspired Donkey Kong but sprite limitations of the nes forced miyamoto to give him a mustache to define his face, and overalls to define his body, miyamoto then thought the resultant image made the main character into a plumber, the rest is history

Honda and marketing is quite literally a drug that destroys a couple in this episode Like you ever met a couple that are both addicts, especially when it's the same drug? it's exaggerated here but the stuff that Rick did at the end of the episode is what for-reals junkie couples do especially when one or both want to get clean- well gently caress it let's blow it OUT one last time, then we quit tomorrow or some poo poo like that I mean this could not be any less of a flattering light they cast Honda in within the bounds of the episode, it's a metaphorical stand in for fuckin' heroin

Rexides posted:Reading constructive criticism (and even angry rants that had a point) in TVIV has helped me enjoy TV shows better. I may not always agree with people's opinions, but actively engaging with the show rather than turning your brain off is a much better experience, and there is nothing wrong with having expectations from the shows you love. Posting about how you hated an episode on the Internet is not necessarily an act of defiance against free entertainment or contempt for people who liked it, it's part of being critical of the entertainment you consume. there's a difference between being critical and vomiting the same tired vitriol in a thread about a show you clearly hate just to poo poo in people's cornflakes week in and week out

Sleeveless posted:Before Rick & Morty happened he was talking up projects with CBS and Fox that never materialized so I'd take it with a giant grain of unmedicated narcissistic salt. Those were pilots, not projects, and they weren't picked up- which happens literally all the time with pilots. From what I hear Harmon's already got a series order from Seeso (NBC's new streaming service) which means that they're not equivalent situations at all.

The Adventure Zone is one of the best podcasts ever made. FatT is basically unlistenable.

DoctorWhat posted:I haven't tried FatT yet, what makes it unlistenable? It's a bunch of people aware of fantasy tropes and problematic storytelling trying desperately to avoid any "bad storytelling" pitfalls. So, it comes across as a bunch of pretentious douchebags basically questioning everything they do and waffling, on-air and loudly and repeatedly, about everything because it isn't "character honest" or "respects the rules of the world". I love Austin Walker, but as GM he enables and encourages this behavior so at zero point do they ever feel like the group is involved in cooperative storytelling. It'd be like going to an improv show and every minute or so the group breaks character and goes "Wait, I just don't feel like my character Curtis would believe in this premise, it's really hard for me to yes-and this scenario". Basically it's a podcast that seems like it was made solely for the enjoyment of its participants over actually being listenable. I can see how fun it might be to do a tabletop RPG campaign where you're constantly philosophizing on the motivations and belief systems that govern the world that's made, but it makes for aggressively unpleasant listening. It's really, really, really, really insufferably pretentious. dylguy90 posted:Oh man I just finished the Murder on the Rockport Express series and it was seriously like, on the level of reading a Harry Potter book for the first time level of entertainment. It's amazing how funny all of them are, and when there's a good story for them to bumble through it's just great all around. Rockport's the high point of TAZ that still hasn't been topped in quality (although the most recent arc is making a good effort so far).

kayakyakr posted:So I caught up on The Adventure Zone. Any other similar podcasts worth catching up on? Harmontown has a D and D podcast that's good until they switch systems. I'll dig up the link to just the D and D portions. Here it is. Listen until they switch to Shadowrun (actually, you should abandon it a couple of episodes before then but that way at least you kind of, sort of get closure on the whole thing. Not really.) Harmonquest, although not being a podcast, is also pretty good. PostNouveau posted:Fun fact: There are no other good D&D podcasts. I know because I've tried them all. This is generally true, although I would argue Harmontown during D and D is the lone exception - and even then it can be hit or miss, it just turns out Spencer's an incredible DM and Dan's pretty good at improv. Friends at the Table is unlistenable (despite my, numerous, attempts to soldier through and like it) and has awful audio and Nerd Poker might be one of the worst podcasts I've ever had the displeasure of listening to. TAZ is basically the pinnacle of D and D podcasts (to the point where it could be animated more-or-less untouched and be a genuinely incredible TV show like the Ricky Gervais show on HBO), somewhere far below that but still pretty good is Harmontown, and then there's basically nothing else. dylguy90 posted:I mean, I'm ok with that, it was some really top-notch storytelling. I'd still listen even if it never reaches that level again. Just be aware that Crystal Kingdom is draggy as gently caress and at least twice as long as it needed to be, with two episodes of the arc being straight exposition dumps (one's so bad that Griffin literally apologizes mid-episode for it being solely an exposition dump). It's not bad, because no part of TAZ is bad, but it's the thus-far nadir of the podcast. It's worth struggling through an arc with severe pacing issues and a feeling of it being a total slog because it's both ~SUPER CANONICAL~ and still has some bright spots, but be aware that it seems to be an outlier qualitatively, since this most recent arc is Griffin course-correcting on all the problems that happened during Crystal Kingdom (at one point, he tells his party that it's not gonna be like Crystal Kingdom, which seems to be a metatextual confession that CK kinda got away from him).
