Finished The Once And Future Nerd today. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. But did want to mention about how much I enjoyed the Nice Guy/MRA/Friend Zoned necromancer... It was brilliant and didn't overstay it's welcome. Really glad the next book is coming out in the next month or two.

Slamhound posted:Christ, A New Winter is loving terrible. Yes but somehow it grew on me. I realize it's poo poo but I can't stop listening to it. I wonder if Archive 81 will go the same way. Finished first season of Liberty and no idea what to think of that one. It's just some people's RPG game in podcast format right?

New Leaf posted:I look forward to Magnus more than any other podcast these days. Same. Is the only one I listen to on normal speed without dead space removal. Remember when it started people dropping it for the accent? Also latest Archive 81 converted me on the new format.

New Leaf posted:TANIS is back! I really don't care if they never get to the point, or if they're going in circles or rehashing old plots or how goofy the premise is. I just love listening to it for some reason. Probably the music. PNW does good music that's the most charitable thing I can say about it.

Echophonic posted:I'm having a really hard time with a lot of these podcasts lately. Alice isn't Dead lost me at episode 7, I quit Night Vale ages ago, didn't finish season 2 of Tanis, and I'm months behind on Ars Paradoxica, Bright Sessions, and Wolf 359. The only one I'm even close to caught up on is Mabel. It's just seems like they lose momentum in the second season and start to meander. Ars paradoxica almost lost me but I'm glad I stuck around since every problem I had with it was intentional and addressed directly in the same season. Downside is it's at the end of the season... Just caught up on Maebel. Only downside there was the dude from Sable in the season opener. That guy is so bad. Sable is still the only serial I've dropped. (I commute by car 90 mins a day and will listen to anything to stay sane. Anything but Sable apparently).

Len posted: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? It shows yet another way she's alienated from and doesn't fit in with June Clever 1950s America?

Len posted: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. It's a bit anal but the last episode went up earlier for pateeon as well. I say that because it goes up midnight GMT which is when I leave work for home and usually stay until I see or someone texts me that the latest magnus has dropped.

New Leaf posted:I assume so. Alex was reading stuff in today's Tanis. Episode 212 was 8/16/16 The delay between 112 and 201 was from 10/13/15 to 1/18/16. So they took 3 months off then, and it's already been 8 months now. It's website hasn't had an update since 212 was released. etc...

Tweet Me Balls posted:Season 2 of Spines, however, is turning into a pretty drat good audio anime. Thanks for this. Did most of S1 last night will probably finish it today. Reminds me of a slightly less allegorical / stream of conscious Mabel while still having that dreamlike feel. Plus hardcore body horror right out the gate.

Amateur Sketch posted:I just finished Spines, and it's pretty rad. Good body horror, good foreshadowing, and a pretty cool concept. The narrator's detached tone is a little reminiscent of the PNWS podcasts, but she's got a more active role in the story so it stays interesting. Episodes are pretty short, so it's easy to listen to a couple and see if it's your thing. I elevator pitched it to a friend as "Alice isn't dead" but episodic where poo poo happens each episode.

Jurgan posted:That I agree with. I like the story and characters in season 2, but it seems like they feel compelled to have him listen to a tape every episode. I actually like the Tapes now as just a small little self contained story. And New Winter is indeed bat poo poo. It's not as bad as Sable (Still the only serialized podcast I stopped listening to.) but it's bat poo poo. If anyone didn't hear the latest WTNV they're launching http://podcon.com/ for the end of the year in Seattle. since I live there I'll be throwing some money their way.

Montalvo posted:I'm struggling to keep track of everything in Magnus but worry about searching for flowcharts or the like for fear of spoilers. Can't really spoil anything since it's either right there already or just listener conjecture... Bright Sessions: I think this is the one that puts me over the edge to patreon it. :shutupandtakemymoney: Damien getting the beatdown he so richly deserves, not as good as the slap last month but some good sound engineering.

Jurgan posted:Theres a good chance Caleb straight up killed Damien in this one. I doubt it, because I think there are more stories to tell with him alive, but it's hard to imagine anyone being able to pull Caleb off him at that point. I don't have a problem with this.

New Leaf posted:The volume seems really low on this Bright Sessions. I'm 2 notches below maxed out on my headset. If I was listening to music at this volume I'd blow my eardrums out. Glad it wasn't me... I listened to it on a new Bluetooth to FM dongle for the car. Had to turn on Overcast's voice boost and kept raising my volume. Was about to return the drat thing. Annoying place to end the episode as well and while I get the point of the show some of the feelings talk was so clunky I felt triggered by tumblrspeak.

Caught up on 'The Dark Tome' today. Framing Story for anthology stories. I'd rather they dropped the Anthology part and concentrate on the flame since I'm more vested with the characters there. Not great but better than a lot of things out there.
