I just listened to the episode of Behind the Bastards he was on and I actually did a belly laugh when he described Steven Seagal's running style as "like a fat woman waking up in a tub full of snakes"

“The first thing you should do is name your firework. This will help your project have a focus, and get you closer to your incendiary device. Also, if something goes wrong later, you can phone the fire department from Mexico with a disguised voice and have a name to give them regarding the fire that burned down the youth center. And that means that the name of your firework will make it into an actual police report!

It also means that a haggard fire inspector might see the evidence and grimly say, "My god. He or she is right. This blaze does have the calling card of... E.T., the Explosive Terrestrial." Then several other fire inspectors might gasp while one of them scratches a record to a halt.”

What would you do if you were a park ranger this night? Say you drove up and saw Captain Tootsie and the Secret Legion raising cheers to Tootsie Rolls around the corpse of a bear they killed out of season and hung from a tree. You wouldn't even wait to roll down the window before you opened fire.”

When you were a toddler and drew a picture of your mom with 17 fingers, green hair, and a body that looked like a melted turd, she loved it. It was a terrible drawing in every way possible, but she loved it and called it cute because you were three. This game is as bad as a 17-fingered drawing, only the people who made it are not three. God is going to stop thinking this retarded poo poo is cute really fast, guys. I know you just made Him up to keep us from mixing pork with milk, and there's not much that mythology can really do to us, but just in case, let's stop trying to piss Jesus off with bad Nintendo games and music. I'd hate to get swept away in a raging river of blood and hear that it was because I lived too close to the designers of Sunday Funday when God's fury descended upon them.

Been replaying Arkham Origins for Christmas, and having a snigger every time Batman finishes a combo by booting someone in the small of their back because it makes me think of his writeup on Black Manta:

quote:

Aquaman has has the biggest friends on the planet. He doesn't live in the Hall of Justice because of the big TV and the peephole in Wonder Woman's shower. He lives there because he knows Black Manta or any other guy with two arms and a helmet could knock his teeth out. But when Superman or Green Lantern are both one C.B. call away, Black Manta's going back to washing dishes at the Red Lobster with a bag of ice on his face and some reality kicked directly into his spine.

So Seanbaby and Brockway have teamed up to make a Patreon. It's called 1-900-HOTDOG. As one of the last vestiges of the old internet I thought there might be an audience here. It seems like they are going to write 4-6 articles per week. Just reading through the donation tiers is essentially a full Seanbaby article and the introduction IS a full article.

Seanbaby, X-Entertainment, and Progressive Boink were like the holy trifecta of pop culture comedy websites for me, though PB was by far my favourite. One of the guys who used to write for them, Jon Bois, wrote some kind of science fiction sports story recently that won a bunch of awards. 17776, I think? I haven't read it because the sports articles were always my least favourite part of the site so I probably wouldn't get it.

17776 is.....not really a sports article. I don't want to say much more without ruining it. Even if you just fell out of a spaceship and landed on Earth, 17776 is worth a read

This is the first week, I'm not sure. The majority of articles will be gated behind the $3 / month donation tier (4/week). They are trying to make money writing internet comedy which is, apparently, very hard to do now. The first post is free, but it's more of a (funny) pitch to donate.

My favorite podcast in the world was the Games for Windows Magazine podcast...which rarely had anything to do with games or windows. Instead, Jeff Green, Shawn Elliot, Ryan whateverhislastnamewas, and others talked about such interesting topics as "Jeff Green on why the magazine's circulation department is useless, and how every circulation meeting comes down to idiots saying things like "use more pink on your covers" and "do more top ten lists"" and "Shawn Elliot tells us about this one time that his friend poo poo in a lady's bag."

Being made fun of for part of being gay for part of being that part of a part of being gay which was once detached and seperated on the south side hence it being a double headed cabin with that very point of uninformed thinking people thought you were gay sucked.
