Ramblings:

•   Christine is a pancake addict.
•   Charlie Sheen, and watching his downward spiral.
•   We love 90′s cartoons.
•   Mr. Arcys and the quest for the USB headset.
•   Christine lives in the future (where Best Buy is obsolete and conveyor belts do your shopping).
•   The Blade Runner franchise is getting more movies, along with every other franchise from the past 20 years. (http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2011/03/youre_getting_blade_runner_pre.php)
•   Cars 2 makes us pissed, because we still don’t have an Incredibles sequel.
•   The painful death of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, despite how cool Johnny Depp is.
•   Inception is still a fantastic film, and shows how people are dumb.
•   Brick is just as good, and is on the Instant Queue (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393109/) (http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Brick/70024088)
•   We hate the Oscars.
•   Evangelion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion), why Mark hates it, and why Thomas is happy he left Ohio.
•   Thomas has to mention Pinkerton.
•   Daniel and Mark bond over Eureka 7.
•   The addictive nature of television.

 

Topic for this week: Things we haven’t finished yet (television, games, books).

•   None of us have watched Dr. Who (and Thomas is a complete moron who confuses Dr. Who and Dr. Horrible).
•   Thomas has not watched Star Trek: The Next Generation (and has an awesome plan to rectify this).
•   Despite how fundamental it was to her geek development, Christine has never finished the X-Files.
•   Mark tries to pin watching the V reboot in Thomas (who denies any involvement).
•   Thomas is a giant wimp.
•   Christine cannot finish an “arcade” game, and doesn’t play story-based games.
•   We love Mario Kart: Double Dash, and reference Mass Effect (get used to this).
•   The Elite 4 are Cylons.
•   Mark and Daniel have not finished Ocarina of Time, while Thomas and Daniel have not finished Majora’s Mask.
•   Thomas has not finished Final Fantasy VI (despite the fact it’s one of his favorite games).
•   Final Fantasy XIII is ridiculous.
•   Halo: Reach disappoints Thomas.
•   Daniel hasn’t finished Asimov’s Foundation Series.
•   Mark is a better reader than all of us.
•   Everyone except Daniel hasn’t really read Orson Scott Card’s work.
•   Thomas doesn’t feel he finished Harry Potter, and try to pitch himself as Internet Famous (™).

  1. I can't believe the fabled podcast is now real. To top that off the first episode was great!

    I listen to a myriad of podcasts and this is the first one where I felt like I wanted to join in the conversation. I can't wait for another episode.

    I greatly disagree with you guys about Evangelion though.

  2. Aww. Well to each his own I suppose. But I still love Evangelion but I'm in a love/hate relationship.
