I bought a Nintendo 3ds off of a twenty year old kid in a gas station parking lot two days ago.
Look, you live your life how you want to and I'll live mine how I want to. Also, I hope that someone made it this far thinking that Mike was writing this.
Anyway, I bought the 3ds because I...

2020-01-14 16:06:34 +0000 UTC View PostA shocking Very Special Episode! A first in the history of the podcast, possibly a first for any podcast!
The smelly, repugnant, filth-caked, farm-animal-of-a-girl Elora is discussed at length which leads to not one BUT two shocking bathroom tales from Mike and Conor! (Can you get that from...

Unfortunately what happens is that a nude otter-man crashes through the roof of a tavern and the sacred princess takes a dump.

Full proof that this podcast has broken my brain, I went to the beer store on Christmas Eve (During the DAY, I'm not like Mr. Welch on It's A Wonderful Life) and while looking for something tasty, discovered this Trucking Through Time themed beer. I did not buy it because a four pack was like ove...
2019-12-30 14:11:43 +0000 UTC View PostMike and Conor have a pretty straightforward discussion about how Thorn née Willow formerly "the floor" kinda sorta transforms into The Demon / A Dragon / Some Stones / a Liquid Mass of His Own Melted Organs / Some Shards / A Mountain / a Swimmer / a Fish, etc., and in that state puffs air into ...
2019-12-19 17:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostI'm only a few pages in to this week's reading and just a few questions spring to mind. E.g., can anyone tell me who in the name of Fillmore Crank* any of these people are?!?!
It's been an abundance of riches in terms of insanely good art that would be impossible to comprehend for anyone who doesn't religiously listen to this podcast. This latest one is Lucas Antoniak's twist on Baby Yoda. They really...

I would like to apologize to Mike Nelson. Since my supposed mispronunciation of Magus were made public, jackals have descended on him and his family. Leaving the house for a cup of coffee has turned into...

Conor, I regret if you were offended when in episode four I corrected your pronunciation of "Magus". Mistakes were made, and I am informed that in some instances and circumstances pronunciations exist which seem to align more with your idiosyncratic way of voicing it than mine.

2019-12-13 01:27:51 +0000 UTC View PostA jam-packed episode made all the more thrilling because Mike's computer crashed twice while making it. Was it ensorcelled by a HardDriveHeron with CrashCharms? We may never know.
What else? Pretty straightforward, nothing really stands out -- Oh, wait: Willow becomes a floor. I t...
Listener, and Patreon support Matt Nelson drew custom Llamacorns for all our books. Incredible work. I think the Tekwar one is my favorite, but I really enjoy how the two Cline ones capture the slackjawed idiocy of the author, main characters, and intended audience.

I'm starting to lose the plot where Willow's powers are concerned and could use a little help, please. Here's my list: are there more (or fewer)?
As mentioned in Episode 61, listener and Patreon supporter Christian sent me a complete set of TekWorld cards. Here are my ten favorite cards from the first fifty in the set.

I'm only half-way through the Reading and am struck by the Seeming randomness of the Use of proper nouns and capitalization, e.g.
I mentioned the Fanfic that Janelle wrote in the newest ep, but neglected to mention this amazing STICKERS that she sent me. Truly incredible work. I believe she's working to get them available in her store, and as Discord emotes. Maybe once she figures out a production of them we will run a give...

But this is an actual caught-in-the-moment photo of me watching Willow.
(Stay tuned for my completely fair, unemotional take on the movie and please be assured it's madness to think that my view of that would ever influence my take on the book, Shadow Moon.) --MJN
2019-11-18 03:35:37 +0000 UTC View PostSorry it took so long to get this to everyone. We're gonna read the first fifty pages and see how that works for a chunk. No natural place to break it up, in our trade paperback version we're gonna read until the line "Oh joy, that we have so much in common."

It's quite a feat to so blatantly rip off LOTR before the first word of the book. Looking forward to Willow's encounter with The Smaugster (rapping dragon with attitude AND baditude) and his estranged relatives the Backville-Sagginses.
