Years after Chris assassinates Imagine Dragons, people will point to this podcast and ask “how did we miss the signs?“

2022-03-26 14:30:43 +0000 UTCAs someone who also likes the immersive Sim genre, I think its hilarious that part of our description was "you really gotta read the emails in the world"

2022-03-25 16:15:02 +0000 UTCImmediately Street Fighter 2 graphics popped up into my mind when you mentioned the Seinfeld fighter. I can vividly see Kramer’s presence sweeping into the diner with the force of Zangief’s presence while staring down Newman with that disturbing head nod. Newman motions towards Kramer and yells “you useless pustule! We had a deal!” The fight begins! Or Elaine’s victory pose of her doing that lip smacking yadda yadda face after beating down George in the apartment she never got (The Robbery episode). Or Jerry fighting a trio boss fight of the wronged restaurant owners and the dry cleaning guy (The Wife episode). Soup Nazi fights with a ladle, Babu uses fisticuffs, and Dry Cleaner guy using clothes as his ranged attack (think towel whipping). Hopefully this is something you can will into existence!

2022-03-24 20:10:18 +0000 UTCI just can’t stop thinking about Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver since this episode. I haven’t played Soul Reaver 1 & 2 since PS1/PS2 I think my mind would blow if they did a remake. Could you imagine Raziel switching between Material Realm & normal Realm on current gen systems! 🤯

2022-03-24 01:59:39 +0000 UTCI fuckin' love the Buu saga, and Chris is right on as to why I think the only time DBZ had pretty decent writing was first half of Android saga - Trunks' awesome intro, Red Ribbons back, Super Saiyans gettin' whooped, freaky insect alien wiping out towns - awesome.

2022-03-23 20:19:26 +0000 UTCYeah, contacts suck hairy dog balls. Tried soft lenses for a year and never again. Unless you can afford a daily plan to have fresh lenses every day (my prescription wouldn't allow it), I would steer clear. They are more of an annoyance than anything else and really just a device of vanity.

2022-03-22 19:35:25 +0000 UTCThe concept that you're touching on when talking about depression and having control of your feelings is a concept in psychology known as "locus of control." It was great to hear you talk on it a bit.

2022-03-22 14:08:52 +0000 UTCI appreciate you answering my question about Dragonball characters. I actually made this connection with Vegeta as I was watching Super recently and maybe it's because I am Mexican and grew up in a very Mexican heavy area: he's a Mexican father. He clearly loves Bulma and his kids, but he has a very hard time showing/expressing it. And that connection made him that much more of a compelling character for me.

2022-03-21 17:14:22 +0000 UTCHey, you read my Destiny 2 question! Thanks!! Agreed on everything, it's up there with Halo quality stuff.

2022-03-21 14:50:29 +0000 UTCThe Imagine Dragons rant was hilarious. Just tuned into Snark Tank #93 to hear some pushback on Chris’ self centered frustration and parodies which at least say something as opposed to the original lyrics.

2022-03-21 10:27:19 +0000 UTCGreat episode aside from one issue I have, and worry not, I’ll write in about it. Chris, I think we gotta be clear and called Soul Reaver “Soul Reaver,” Legacy of Kain being the name of the franchise and much too broad. I’ve only played through Soul Reaver and Blood Omen 2, but if cosmic powers work, I want to make sure we get the right remake (which is of course Soul Reaver.)

2022-03-21 01:10:39 +0000 UTCSounds like a musical time-traveler has it in for you specifically. The only solution is to invent time travel first and undo Imagine Dragons, with a band of your own. God speed, Ray Gun.
