Something Vaguely Reasonable|S3E15: May 17th Show Episode
On the docket this week:-NASCAR and Science Finally Understand Each Other-SquEnix... Yeah, Still Assholes-Political Drive-By (Not Somali Edition)-Something Vaguely EntertainingWe begin by discussing the hirsute natures of your gentle hosts and a possible connection between that and Sasquatch sightings in Central PA before getting on topic and bringing up the fact that the only reason the news cares about the latest NASA launch is because, as Sam Neil might say, THEY ALL MIGHT DIE! We then sidetrack into how the government has looked at science for the last eight years, how the media looks at things in general, and how Hydroxycut will kill you more certainly than going up in the space shuttle. We also digress into the politics of getting laid at Pennsic and the idiocy that is Sexting (and the idiocy of law enforcement's response to it.) Sanguinist closes out the digression by talking about a Lovecraft mod for Shadowrun and the myth of the Steampunk Who-Ha.The Boy then gives us part three in a continuing series of exposes about why Square/Enix is a bunch of assholes. Give it a listen and regret ever giving them money by buying a Final Fantasy game. This lead then to a run down of some of the current crop of MMORPGs. Sangunist then delivers that long-ago promised review of Dawn of War 2. Discover how it earned the ringing endorsement of âIt's okayâ, while the Boy discusses the potential pointlessness of the Wii's proposed 'watch' mode, which reduces the gamer to the role of a spectator.Largo the gives the President a quick political pasting comparing his rhetoric versus his actions on the release of the photographic proof of abuse at various detention facilities while Sanguinist approves of the judicious offering of some jobs to potential political enemies while maintaining the appearance of bipartisanship.We then slide into our review of Amusement, which apparently has the most ironic title in film history given that it had no amusement contained therein. Listen and share our pain (and not in the fun, happy HorrorFest sort of way.) On a happier note, we close by discussing a much better film, Star Trek. Listen and share the love ('cause we all loved it. Warning: here there be spoilers.)Email
