What? Read that title again. Yes this is Lacero. A fanfic that became canon. Why did it become canon? Listen to a few minutes of the podcast and it all becomes crystal clear. How was a 6 page short story stretched into a 47 minute podcast? Because we're goddamn professionals, that's how.Especially Nate.Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com/wabpodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

80 Miles to Morgoth's' Dungeon fortress, a couple of fast horses, and two badass swords. Hit it! Like Z and Aech rushing in without a plan, your gunters review their trip through the Iron Mountains. What could go wrong? Pull out your Tolkien as we Get to the Good Part!

Hey are you ready for a fun trip into 80s nostalgia! Well you've come to the right place... in like 121 pages or so. Yeah we'll throw you a bone here and there. You remember Marty McFly's alarm clock?!? Yeah... I hope that reference will sustain you. Because we're not going to spend a whole lot of time in the Oasis doing Ready Player One stuff. Sure we'll go steal the script to Princess Bride but all that action and plot progression and "stuff that's actually happening" is going to have to come in part 2 of the book.I'm not joking. If you've read this book (and you obviously have because everyone reads along with us) you know that the pacing of this book is awful, the author really didn't care about this book, and he phones in the majority of it. That's so apparent here in part 1 where we're going to lay the ground work. The same way Ernest does: telling it to you directly. Then we're going to lay some groundwork, put some work on the ground, build up to some future stuff, establish the ground that we will be standing on, pouring the foundation for the book... do you get the point yet?This book sucks but Nate had to read it so you have to listen to this episode. Support the show so that Nate knows that everything is going ot be okay.Support the show

We find ourselves on Afterworld, and your Gunters are not quite as into it as Aech but we pressed on into the depths of sexual suavity wrapped in purple and armed with guitars. Let's Get to the Good Part!

If you grew up watching John Hughes movies, perhaps Planet Shermer would be the first world in the OASIS you visit. Or, maybe not? Your favorite Gunters are visiting Planet Shermer to follow Parzival, Art3mis, Aech, and Shoto, as they track down the next shard. Does Planet Shermer make you wish the OASIS existed? Where would you go first? Take a day off, grab the key's to the Ferrari, and let's Get To The Good Part!

Introduction! Thanks for the warm and overwhelming support on the return! Chapter 007 Recap Parzival has an epiphany that his home school planet of Ludus is actually the resting place of the Tomb of Horrors. After exploiting away to travel there without zero credits, he manages to find the entrance and makes his way in, ready for the perils that lie ahead. Chapter 0008 Summary With the help of a map from the Tomb of Horrors module, Parzival makes his way through the treacherous tomb avoiding traps and monsters and collecting a heavy amount of gold pieces along the way. He's eventually confronted by Acererak who challenges him to a best 2 out of 3 game of Joust, the classic arcade game. Parzival bests Acererak winning the copper key along with a clue to the first gate but before he's able to leave the Tomb of Horrors, he's stopped short of the entrance by a mysterious figure who making their way inside as well… Chapter 0008 Narrative  Parzival uses his map to navigate through the ToH and avoid most of the traps and monsters Levels up like a few types of classes; monster xp vs GP xp; gp xp converts to OASIS credits He eventually makes his way to the Pillared Throne Room where he sees a throne and Acereak sitting there which is a break from the D&D module The voices inside our heads here - what did you hear when you read the booK? "Not horses," he replied, stepping away from his throne. "Birds." The rules to win a copper key, best two out of three. Of course, Parzival had honed his skills over time and credits Aech as it was his favorite (and former) game used to settle asinine pop culture disputes, but did you ever take issue with just how good Wade/Parzival was at everything? I've seen some of the negative criticism from people who didn't paritcularly like the novel and it's a go-to for a lot of those people. Parzival gets his arse handed to him in match #1; but then asks to play on the other side in order to win games 2 and 3 After the second win, Acererak pounds on the side of the cabinet smashing into pixles and graciously congratulates Parzival before taking the form of Anorak. Anaorak hands him the copper key, and Parzival notice two lines of text etched into the key reading, “What you seek lies hidden in the trash on the deepest level of Daggorath.” He immediately knows exactly what this hints refers to and has a hunch that he needs to travel to Middletown, a re-creation of Halliday's hometown as a boy. There, in Halliday's old home, he would find a "Dungeons of Daggorath" game and somehow that would lead him to the first gate to use the copper key on. All he needed to do now was get out of the Tomb of Horrors and make his way immediately there, but just as he was leaving the tomb, he is confronted by the silhouette of another avatar… The Pop!  Reference: “My flashlight reached into the darkness ahead, flickering off the damp stone walls. My surroundings made me feel like I was in a low-budget sword-and-sorcery flick, like Hawk the Slayer or The Beastmaster.” Hawk the Slayer (1980) Directed by Terry Marcel Starring Jack Palance, John Terry, Bernard Bresslaw Movie Synopsis Trivia The Beastmaster (1982) Directed by Don Coscarelli Starring Marc Singer, Tanya Roberts, Rip Torn, and John Amos Movie Synopsis Trivia Excalibur (1981) Reference: “When I put on the suit of magical armor, it shrank to fit my avatar perfectly. Its gleaming chrome appearance reminded me of the bad-ass armor worn by the knights in Excalibur.” Directed by John Boorman Starring Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren, Nicholas Clay, Cherie Lunghi, a bunch of other guys, but more importantly Liam Neeson and Patrick Stewart!   Movie Synopsis Trivia Joust (1982) Reference: “He waved a skeletal hand at his throne.

Since then, we'd used Street Fighter II to settle our disputes.” Developed by Capcom Produced by Yoshiki Okamoto Trivia Reference: “It suddenly occurred to me just how absurd this scene was: a guy wearing a suit of armor, standing next to an undead king, both hunched over the controls of a classic arcade game. It was the sort of surreal image you'd expect to see on the cover of an old issue of Heavy Metal or Dragon magazine.” Heavy Metal (1977 - 1992) (1992 - 2014) (2014 - Present) Founder: Leonard Mogel Premise Trivia Dragon Magazine (1976 - 2007) Created by TSR Premise Trivia Star Wars: “The Throne Room and End Title” (1977) Reference: “I recognized the music. It was the last track from John Williams's original Star Wars score, used in the scene where Princess Leia gives Luke and Han their medals (and Chewbacca, as you may recall, gets the shaft).” Directed by George Lucas Stars Mark Hammill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Alec Guiness, Peter Cushing, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, Kenny Baker, James Earl Jones, Trivia Dungeon and Dragons Cartoon (1982 - 1985) Reference: “And before I could ask what I was supposed to do next, or where I could find the first gate, his avatar vanished in a flash of light, accompanied by a teleportation sound effect I knew was lifted from the old '80s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.” Co-produced by Marvel Productions and TSR Voices of Willie Aames, Don Most, Katie Leigh, Adam Rich, Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Frank Welker (Megatron), and a number of others Premise Trivia Lord of the Rings (elvish language - Quenya) Reference: “Dagorath was a word in Sindarin, the Elvish language J.

Agent Aech joined the show tonight.  We had a good time.  I think it's time we bring the Weight Loss Challenge Back!  We will work with Agent Aech to work out some details this week. We talked about bikes, races, warzone and some Destiny this week.  It was a good time.For everyone that has picked up some merch from the store, thank you.  You are supporting a good cause!  All of the sales from June will be donated to the Lake Street Council to help rebuild those affected by the riots.  As well, Nips and I will be donating to also help and match the show's donation.https://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/PotatoThumbsPodcast/Thanks for listening, enjoy the show.

Everybody relax, we're here, and we're talkin’ to whoever’s listenin’ out there. Yes Gunters, we watched "Big Trouble in Little China" and we're not regretting it. You people sit tight, hold the fort, keep the home fires burning, Get To The Good Part! This episode was originally published as a Chapter 30 bonus episode on December 13, 2018 to our Patreon campaign. If it's been a while since you listened to our breakdown of Chapter 30, give it a listen! Listen on Apple Podcasts or Anchor. Aech seemed to be the one they knew the least about. His file contained very little information, and no photo—just a screenshot of his avatar. His real name was listed as “Henry Swanson,” but that was an alias used by Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China, so I knew it must be a fake.

This week Agent Aech and Snatching Panda return to the show.  We talk some Call of Duty, a little bit of Destiny and Game Pass.  Then we get into some fitness talk.  Goals for this summer, how lockdown and fitness are going, and some thoughts on a new contest for the summer.Thank you everyone that has been supporting the show.We do have merch, you can check out our store here!https://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/PotatoThumbsPodcast/

Book Vs Movie (Replay) “Ready Player One” The Margos Put on Their Game-Faces in This Hyper 80s Ep The Margos are feeling stoked about this 1980s-centric soaked episode talking about a much-requested book/movie Ready Player One from first time author Ernest Cline. This pop-culture stuffed tale features more gamer references than anything we have remotely covered in the past so we are a bit nervous about how accurate we will be, (Be kind if you are a first-time listener!) Both book and movie have the same basic plot--set in the miserable 2040s, Wade Watts is a teenage orphan who wishes for a life outside the stacked trailer parks. In fact, most people are unhappy with the real world and choose to escape to the virtual world known as OASIS. Created by shy genius James Halliday, the OASIS survives after his recent death but he left several clues (“easter eggs”) for one person to discover and inherit his entire fortune and corporation. Wade (who goes by the moniker Parzival in OASIS) along with his crush Art3mis, best friend Aech and pals Daito and Sho is determined to find every easter egg in the hunt and his vast knowledge of both popular and obscure pop culture trivia sends him on an amazing journey. Cline sold the book and movie within days of each other in 2010 and serves as the co-screenwriter of the Steven Spielberg adaptation. (We seem to cover a ton of Spielberg on this show!) Which version did the Margo like better? Check out the link at the bottom of the page to find out. In this ep the Margos discuss : The interesting “slam poetry” past of author Ernest Cline The major differences between the book and the Spielberg movie The plethora of pop culture references featured in both Which artists and musicians the Margos feel were wrongfully excluded The casting of the movie including Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Lena Waithe, Ben Mendelsohn, Mark Rylance, and Simon Pegg. Clips Featured: Ready Player One first trailer Parzival/.Wade (Tye Sheridan) and Art3mis/ Samantha (Olivia Cooke) at the nightclub Sorrento (Ben Mendelsohn) meets Wade Aech/Helen in “The Shining” James Halliday (Mark Rylance) gives Wade the “jade egg” Outro Music: Jump by Van Halen   Book Vs.

Are you ready to rock? It’s time to fly your favorite ship to the nearest Stargate towards Sector 10, and get your asses to Chthonia. Before all hell breaks loose, we thought it was the right time to judge the robots that Parzival, Art3mis, Aech and Shoto chose. That’s right, it’s time to dig deep into the powers of each robot, and discuss the age old question: does size matter? Try not to hit the shield around Castle Anorak and get vaporized, because we need to Get To The Good Part!

Welcome, my friends! Thank you for flying Automated Airlines, please sit back and enjoy your in-flight entertainment. Today, your favorite Gunters are serving up part 2 of Chapter 33 on our way to the lovely state of Oregon. But don’t wander off looking for Frodo and Samwise, It’s time to learn all about Aech, and figure out how much, exactly, does Og know about the High Five. Get yourselves suited and booted in the latest model Habashaw rig you can find, because it’s time to Get To The Good Part!

Pick your jaws up off the floor, it’s time for Chapter 33! That’s right, The Great and Powerful Og has trespassed into Aech’s Basement to make an offer they can’t refuse. Let’s get together and work out some trust issues, discuss who we first imagined could have portrayed him in the movie, and if Og’s deus ex machina would be considered cheating, and of course, the moment we’ve been waiting for, Parzival and Aech meet IRL! Set your destination to Oregon (and try not to knock over any comic books) because it’s time to Get To The Good Part!

We’re back for Chapter 32! Yes Gunters, we have materialized at the top of the stairs of Aech’s Basement. But hold on, there’s no time for a quick game of Joust or to flip through your favorite issue of Starlog, because Parzival is here to recap his Hero’s Journey while simultaneously getting the stink eye from Art3mis. Will the (surviving) members of the High Five have FAITH in Parzival and his plan? Will Art3mis forgive Parzival for violating her privacy, or is it beyond HOPE? Of course, we’re still wondering about those 10 zettabytes and just how much data that really is. Get your scrap paper and pencils, and let’s Get To The Good Part! And while you’re at it, show a little CHARITY and rate this podcast on your favorite podcast platform!

Marie Lu follows up her New York Times bestseller WARCROSS with WILDCARD which follows the story of Emika Chen who just made it out of the Warcross Championships alive and is now seeking to end Hideo’s plan for good. Emika joins the Phoenix Riders on the streets of Tokyo and there is a bounty on her head. How far will she go to ultimately take down the man she loves? Lu (who is also the author of the mega-hit “Legends” series) draws from her personal experience in the video game industry where she is creating a world that is revolved around a game that takes over the world.

En este episodio DanielD nos cuenta de sus aventuras en un grupo de redes sociales de personas que creen que la Tierra es plana. Roberto nos habla de razonamiento motivado, o la tendencia que tenemos a otorgar validez a los argumentos que nos convienen y no solo a los que son verdaderos.

Para cerrar, Mario identifica algunas palabras claves para ponerse en alerta e identificar a un posible charlatán.
