Echophonic posted:Anyone else listen to Alexandria Archives? I just got done with the first episode and I'm digging it, the first story was pretty solid and I think they did a good job with the late night college radio format. Yeah I checked it out after the last bright Sessions callout. Reminds me of night Vale with creepy pasta instead of music

Oh god why is The Box doing a black lives matter episode? I feel like a paranormal story podcast is not the best place to soapbox.

The box goes to poo poo pretty much immediately after she decides to steal the books and go on a road trip. Like goddamn the quality drop was insane

Terrible Opinions posted:You mean like the Box did? I'm still bitter about who terrible that was. Yeah. The beginning episodes were rough but listenable. But then she did a literal #blacklivesmatter in the middle of her paranormal story involving haunted stretch Armstrong dolls and I just kind of checked out.

Ornamented Death posted:I finished the Cleveland episode earlier and only noticed one time where a line got repeated, and it sounded more like a hiccup in the audio file rather than a bad reading left in. Regardless, it should have been caught in editing. To be fair the Cleveland episode does have a warning at the beginning that says something like she's editing from her car in lovely wifi so expect it to be rough so I assumed that was intentional. But the black lives matter episode was tonally awful.

Does anyone else notice how they just shoehorn them in when it doesn't really matter as well? Like does Sallys sexual preference matter to the story in any way? No? So why are we bringing it up?

Montalvo posted:God forbid the gays tell people they like to gently caress each other in a world where almost every single heteronormative narrative story on just about any medium has a hamfisted sex scene between a man and a woman shoved into it. What if I don't like it when those happen too? Because hamfisted shoehorned in love stories and sex scenes are just the worst.

Arrhythmia posted:gently caress, you're absolutely right Yep he's the bisexual man sleeping with two different people in the same department at the police station for information because that isn't a bit ham handed or anything. I did pledge to the magnus archive patreon. So far there isn't anything worth checking out in the way of extras. Just a random page from the list of stuff in artifact storage. I'll keep you guys updated if anyone cares to know when/if extra stuff goes up.

The Caleb/Adam thing was done really well and I found myself saying "just ask him out already!" because it was awkwardly adorable. The others just felt like someone blurting out "I LIKE GUYS AND GIRLS" or "I DONT LIKE ANYONE LIKE THAT". Although I bet the Sam/Mark stuff happened in the Patreon episodes.

doctorfrog posted:On the advice of this thread I started listening to Magnus. A new season of Alice Isn't Dead just started, and for some reason, it's a bit harder to go back to after hearing more solid storytelling like in Magnus and Bronzetown. I'll be combing this thread for more good stuff. I wonder if there are any cold war spy thriller story podcasts? Ars Paradoxica has the cold war bit. Have you checked it?

Jurgan posted:This wasn't her first appearance. She was featured in an earlier episode having a discussion with Agent Green. Also, we know that she's nervous about how to relate to other people and is worried about inadvertently invading their privacy. Saying all there is to her is sexuality and power is reductive and insulting. Yeah, it's odd how hardly any of the characters are straight (though Joan, Owen, and Sam all seem to qualify), but it's not like there's nothing to her but a box on a checklist. It seems like when a queer character is introduced, people immediately respond with "pandering! Just make good characters and stop worrying about if they're gay!" It's kind of like when a white guy gets cast to play a minority role in a big budget movie and people defend it by saying "we just want the best actors and didn't think about race." She has trouble relating to people like Sam? Or worrying about invading privacy like Chloe? I don't remember her first appearance though I honestly thought it was this one. I'm sure there's a goal for her in the end but as far as it goes so far she feels like a retread.

Jurgan posted:It was, and I hope it finally kills off all the "Damien is a poor woobie who just needs a hug!" poo poo. I knew Damien was an asshat, but even I didn't expect him to go so far as threatening to make Sam kill herself. drat, that was dark. Also, loved the interaction between Wadsworth and Damien. That park must be enormous to contain both their egos. I know Tumblr is a huge thing and I can't blanket all of it. But Damien could literally murder someone and they would still be all "he's so innocent and misunderstood" just like it did with the Boston Bomber.

Apparently the last season of Black Tapes starts in August. It's going to be six episodes long but after that floaty season 2 I doubt it'll sink the landing

Turtlicious posted:So I just found out about Archive 81 season 2, and decided to listen to it. I'm really unsure how I feel about it. I like how it went a different way from just audio found footage since that seems to be common with this format but they didn't remove that entirely and the tapes he listens to are the weakest parts imo It was like they tried to take the GE theater route of having sound be the bad guy since it's an audio only format and not doing it as well

I started Magnus Archives over the other day at work when I finished the audiobook I was going through. I think of the early stuff the fifth episode Thrown Away is the weakest. Even at this point if you check out the spergtastic flow chart http://svgshare.com/i/fh.svg it barely has anything to do with the rest of the series. I'm wondering if it's going to remain that way or somehow connect to things beyond "Well teeth showed up in this episode too"

Montalvo posted:Just keep listening and ignore the weird flowcharts; unless you're absurdly obsessed with all the little details, the podcasts's writing is good enough to help you keep up with the main points of the metanarrative without much effort. I'm distracted half the time I listen to the show but I'm pretty sure I know what's going on (at least enough to enjoy the show). Yeah I'm completely up to date and I donate to the patreon it's just of the first 10 or so this is easily my least favorite. It's just "so we found some weird trash" and there's been no pay off yet
