The Podcast S02 E11: Comic Books, Internships, and The X-Files

Hey nerds! This episode is a bit like a potato salad — there’s a lot of random things in it and hopefully it turned out okay! We talk about my internship at Dark Horse Comics (so I should note here now that none of the views or opinions expressed on this site or in this episode reflect those of the company), we talk about West’s continued journey into the world of The X-Files. Lastly, we jabber…

The Podcast S02 E10: When to Use Explicit Content #podcast #adultcontent #HBO #Cinemax #Showtime This week, West and I decided to talk about the use of sex, violence, nudity and other "Adult Content" categories that you might see at the beginning of a HBO, Showtime, or Cinemax show.

The Podcast S02 E09: Rose City Comic Con, Pokemon Go Update, and Waiting in Lines #pokemongo #RCCC2016 #podcast Well, we wanted to talk about the iOS 10 update, the Pokemon Go update, and Rose City Comic Con 2016 in this episode, but we only really ended up having time to talk about RCCC and, less interestingly, the logistics of line formation and pricing in autograph lines. It was interesting to us, so maybe you're weird like us?

The Podcast S02 E08: Leaks, Spoilers, Publicity, and Marketing

The Podcast S02 E08: Leaks, Spoilers, Publicity, and Marketing #Podcast #Leaks #Spoilers #Marketing

Ever wonder how the new iPhone 7 or Note 7 you were planning on buying has like 48 “leaks” before the phones are even officially announced? Or how it seems to be all-t00-easy for data miners to find out every upcoming feature of Pokemon Go before Niantic has revealed them? Well, West and I talk about that stuff. Whether or not we think leaks like the Deadpool one from a year or so ago are…

The Podcast S02 E07: Laika's Kubo and the Art of Arts and Crafts

The Podcast S02 E07: Laika's Kubo and the Art of Arts and Crafts http://goo.gl/5JE78B #podcast #KuboMovie #StarWars

Hey nerds! In this week’s episode we start by talking about how Pokemon Go is getting better but there are still some things disappointing to us in the game’s function and design; from that we transition to Summer 2016’s disappointing blockbuster season. I use that as a point to give a short review of Kubo and the Two Strings (Full review here!) before we move into the meat of the conversation:…

The Podcast S02 E06: No Man's Sky Lies, Reveals and Other Disappointments

The Podcast S02 E06: No Man's Cry #Podcast #NoMansSky http://goo.gl/0d50hs

According to this Reddit post, No Man’s Sky was basically false advertising. I haven’t played it, so West decided to catch me up on the whole debacle and see where I stood as far as refunds and false advertising claims go when it comes to promises that game developers don’t deliver. Hopefully it’s an interesting, rant-filled episode for you all. Enjoy the somewhat-less-feature-rich exploration,…

Stubs and Kernels: Laika Returns with the Wonderful Kubo and the Two Strings

Review: Kubo and the Two Strings http://goo.gl/IDoWZQ #KuboMovie #MovieReview #LaikaStudios @kubothemovie

Stubs: I’ll keep this brief and completely spoiler-free, because Kubo and the Two Strings is a movie that is wonderful and should surprise you with everything it has to offer. This movie is beautiful, touching, works on multiple layers, is a surprising meditation on art, craft, and storytelling, and deserves to make all of the money it possibly can. It’s damn near a perfect film. Rating: 10 out…

Set a Reminder: Rose City Comic Con 2016

Set a Reminder: Rose City Comic Con 2016 #RCCC #NerdEvents http://goo.gl/cPZkL9

So, I wanted to make a post about this so that folks in the Portland area (or who are willing to travel) would be reminded that Rose City Comic Con 2016 is going to happen soon. For the sake of getting the information into an easily digestible form, I figure I’ll put it in bullet points kinda like a little checklist. Dates to Remember: The convention will be on September 10th and 11th. (Link)…

The Podcast S02 E05: Pokemon NO! What The HELL!

The Podcast S02 E05: Pokemon NO! What The HELL!

In this episode of the podcast, West and I talk about the myriad problems facing Niantic’s game, chiefly among them: lack of communication. A recent update has fixed some of the issues (battery saver mode in iOS, tracking is kind of fixed), but the conversation is still fun and some of the bugs and issues with the game are still, sadly, very relevant.…
