I think I may have just found my calling in life. I think game developers should hire me to follow them around and tell them when its time to shut the hell up. Look at this story from CVG and tell me I couldn’t make a career out of shushing idiots like this. Yeah I know I already bagged on one person in this story. I guess marketing and PR are to busy watching metacritic to keep stories like this out of the press.
Wonderpod Episode 300
Wonderpod is finally winding to the end of the road. Three hundred episodes and thousands of memories. We cover many of those moments and made one or two new ones. To each and every person who reads this post now or in the future. We want to thank all of you very much for listening […]
Wonderpod Episode 299
Time for the second to last Wonderpod. A two man show recorded on a Friday night. On this of all days, it was a perfect end to the week. We wander all over the place this week. For the last show we will be live on Twitch. We will give you more details this weekend. […]
Wonderpod Episode 298
Wonderpod is winding down. Jon is back this week. We got some great topics for you guys. On one or two, we come at them from a new angle. Important note we will be recording on Friday of next week. Enjoy the show and have a great weekend!
Wonderpod Episode 297
Wonderpod is like a train. Right on schedule and mowing down cows. This week was a different type of show. We had two first time guests and one guest appearing for the third time. If that isn’t confusing enough they are all from Wales. If your still confused, you need to listen to some of […]
Wonderpod Episode 296
Get ready for a new Wonderpod. This week we talk a lot about FPS gaming. Kind of digging these episodes. Where one topic branches in to multiple discussions. we did delve into a few other things I suppose. Still all revolving around the FPS genre. It will make more sense when you listen. Give me […]
John Cena vs. Eddie Kingston
I’m trying to find a place to start with this and it’s just not happening. So forgive me for being a little disjointed in starting here. I have my favorite promos. Anything that comes out of Mick Foley’s or Ric Flair’s mouth. I remember Al Snow cutting a promo in the ECW days before a big match that was so quiet and to the point and great. There was Roddy Piper at Halloween Havoc in 1996. And of course there was CM Punk’s “The Promo” where I couldn’t sleep that night because I couldn’t decide if it was a work or not. Guys could make you hate them with a short 5-minute promo like Owen Hart, Jerry Lawler or Bubba Ray Dudley. Or the guys who could have you eating out of their hand like Jake “The Snake”, The Rock or Dusty Rhodes.
Words That Need to Die
There are a lot of words used on the internet. Which makes sense as man can not live on cat pictures alone. No matter what the average reddit user might say to the contrary. Yet there are quite a few abused and misused words out there. Some of them need to die in a fire after I pour gasoline on them. I will not however cross the street to pee on them while they are burning. If you haven’t figured it out this is a list of internet terms that need to die.

Take This Score and Shove It
It amazes me how stupid developers are getting. It is like they don’t seem to get how the gaming industry works. I mean it’s a fairly simple process from what I can tell. Someone comes up with an idea for a game or a sequel. Then the money to make said game is acquired. The game gets made and released to reviewers. They review the game and then it goes to the general public. Now in my mind once the reviewers get their grubby little paws on a game, developer’s and publisher’s should just sit back and see what happens. Making anything for public consumption is a gamble and you don’t always succeed in that arena. Apparently since success is so important, some developers have decided to insert themselves into the review/consumer part of the cycle. This is not something we should be happy about.
Hand Holding Vs. Being Totally Lost
Sometimes moderation really is best, as is the case in hand holding vs. being totally lost. What the hell am I even talking about? We’ve all been there. “I know I move the joystick to go forward, thanks. Yes, I’m pretty sure the jump button still makes me jump. Way to go, I never would’ve figured out a TRIGGER BUTTON would let me fire my gun.” But what about the other side?

Chikara High Noon 11-13-2011
I should probably write an intro here. I do a lot of rambling here so I apologize for the length. If you want a real recap, you can find that anywhere. These are meditations of the iPPV event and my stream-of-consciousness as it happened.
Scruffy Holiday Classics
Hey friends. SRD here. Not to worry, the Top 50 will resume shortly. But I wanted to take a moment to remind you all of some past greatness. With Thanksgiving all up ons, and with the Scruffy Thanksgiving Special looming, I felt it appropriate to review Scruffy’s previous Holiday specials, as they are his best episodes. BEHOLD! Pioneer Day, Halloween and Christmas! The entire Scruffy archive can be found here.
