To be perfectly honest I have no idea what happened to Episode 78. We recorded it, it’s right here, but the blog post I made for it two months ago either vanished or never existed.
Further complicating matters, we decided to record two different episodes three weeks apart and then stitch them together into a single episode. Episodes 79 & 80 are now Episode 7980.
In Episode 79 we discussed the cosmic return of Comic Sans, the availability of haunted SpeedTrees, accidental nudity between family members, Steve’s brilliant rendition of retroactiveshitstorm.com, the dissolution of physical encyclopedias, Master Shake, becoming older and realizing you’re the person old-you hated, crowd-sourced governments, firework accidents, and strength build’s influence on Johann Sebastian Joust.
Videogames got in the way again, so we talked about Dark Souls, the Many World’s theory application to Dark Souls, Among the Sleep, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mario Kart 8, Infinity Runner, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, Wario’s Woods, Dragon Age Inquisition, Time Spinner, the invalidity of E3, the necessity of 60 frames-per-second, and Shovel Knight.
Then we digressed into an hour long discussion on the social politics of Tomodatchi Life; a game none of us actually played.
We reconvened three weeks later to record Episode 80, detailing such topics as the incredible stupidity of The Strain, stomach parasite excretion, Caucasians, suspending disbelief when watching intelligent ape films, Steve’s absurd faith in American Hi-Fi, the time Steve interviewed James Gunn at E3, Very Bad Things, Edward Furlong’s arrest record, humans wearing animal tails, Mike Patton, and Seth MacFarlane’s enjoyment paradox.
You guessed it, we talked about games too, including Chris’ purchase of a Wii U, New Super Luigi U, Mario Kart 8, OpenRA, Diablo III, Velvet Sundown, Kentucky Route Zero, Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, the ageless visage of Zelda, and a yet another debate on the validity of acquiring Magus in Chronotrigger.
Because the show was nearly five hours, we also power-ranked the year 2007 in videogames.
Duration: 4:43:02. Recorded on 07/16/14 and then again on 08/06/14.
