It's a dead man's party. That's what podcasts are called on Lunar, where we're realizing no underclass exists in Meribia, understanding Mel only trusts beastmen with weapons, verifying interspecies erotica, debating ho ho ho vs bwa ha ha, fist fighting a Hero, slandering lawyers and accountants, cringing at crushing on Jessica, locking tighter than a tenement in South Central, leaving a dent in your skull, slipping on drool, becoming victimized, getting son'd by Mel, dealing with The Guild of Brett, pushing buttons to make bridges, slaying a dragon, and having no doubt that she is the one. Now you have a friend in the Dragon Diamond business. 00:00 Intro 03:02 Mel's Mansion 12:48 Hell Mel 18:35 Fighting Mel 21:54 Mel's Mansion II 33:22 Selling The Diamond 39:03 We've Been Had 44:08 Merbian Sewers 50:14 Water Dragon 54:41 Dross' Humiliation Ritual 59:49 Real Net 01:05:56 Outro  Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

You kids are wack. And our hearts are content as we're wondering if Mel took Meribia by force, placating the masses, lying to children, having a big dream, entering Dross negotiations, partying till we puke, knowing dragons are real, practicing swordsmanship, seeing our shoes under her bed, inventing meteorology, foreshadowing the necessity of magic, gender coding Luna to clean things, freaking out over a wig, and meeting a an ominous fortune teller. You're a magician now. 00:00 Miniseries 6 Winner 02:47 Intro 04:26 Meribia Buildings! 15:32 Dross' Shop 20:13 Meribia Port 23:57 Black Rose Street 34:54 Black Rose Street Houses 43:03 Royce 59:04 Real Net 01:02:48 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Get up, stumblebut, we got jerkin' off to do. Nope, sorry, wrong podcast. On this one we're kink shaming a flying cat, valuing experiences over possessions, sleeping on a cot, marveling at the Meribian metropolis, questioning if turds are monsters or monsters are turds, wondering if Meribia is under mob rule, using a traveler's cheque, role-playing with some kiddos, discovering a deliberate typo, citing inspiration from Playboy, and protecting every man's right to be drunk and sexist. An extra hour of shore leave is the difference between getting drunk and getting arrested. 00:00 Drugs Chicken 02:18 Intro 03:29 Tumultuous Morning 07:18 Morning Dialogue 20:09 Arriving in Meribia 26:45 Meribian Outdoor NPCs 38:11 Seagull Tavern 50:13 Real Net 55:36 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

I won't ferget your help. In fact, because of it, we're introducing a fresh multiverse theory, confirming script suppositions, remembering we can't sail without light, parting ways at the boat ride, climbing our big pole, eating fish every day, crying out for a minimart, changing out of boy mode inside of Luna mind, thinking clean dirty thoughts, stowing away Brett, chasing the stick off the porch, doing the Dew, questioning the feasibility of fireflies, and localizing a song based on nothing but vibes.

What the flippin' hotdog is going on? Oh, I know, we're exploring the nature of hags, visiting angelfire, finding an idiot in a dummy trap, twirling a comb, refusing the oxford comma, boiling a cauldron of animals, equating a hag to a witch, detesting backwoods inbreds, failing the ice mace quest, remaining calm while a monster wreaks havoc, fighting bugs naked, alliterating into oblivion, realizing Alex is the main character, feeling like dead weight, and helping Luna make a curious choice.

I don't wash my hands, so I'm always hungry. Come along with us on a fantastic fart voyage while we're reeking of fish, becoming the Orca, leaning of Luna's reputation, filching a chicken, encountering the beastmen, noticing the absence of lore outside of the Four Heroes, hinting at a race war, cruising for a bruising, speaking without dentures, lacking sufficient statistics, offering edible toe cheese, getting drunk off of smells, losing a coin toss, discovering it was all rigged, and missing a secret Laike. If you see the captain, will you tell him he's a moron?

That's that. Do whatever you want, don't mind me, son. Just start learning what a chow bell is, receiving money from mom, wondering if Nall is a hallucination, dreaming the dark, hearing a song on the breeze, regretting the tone of the official guide, envying the children, razzing Ramus into oblivion, sleeping in the shed, clearing up “rump acne,” standing up to destiny, denying our Christ up to three times, refusing to take children seriously, finding our ho-ho-ho-man, and waking up without our savior father.

Like, a LOT better! 45:00 - From OB-GYN blogs to German pole dancing competitions, YouTube is trying to increase the variety in my video consumption diet If you missed Saturday's live broadcast of Molehill Mountain, you can watch the video replay on YouTube.  Alternatively, you can catch audio versions of the show on iTunes.

Unthinkable! 7:06 PMLynndy Lee​I also thought it would be another animated version of the Scott Pilgrim movie and didn't bother watching it when it came out 7:09 PMaddictedtochaos​I'm aware of Scott Pilgrim but have never seen it. 7:10 PMSheekago​Well, now I might watch the animated version. 7:10 PMeathdemon​I need to watch the anime 7:11 PMLynndy Lee​oh then it's a good thing I didn't mention any spoilers. hah! Go watch it. It's pretty fun 7:11 PMeathdemon​I mean the first epasode tittle gives away thart its not that 7:11 PMCafeFox​Kind of assumed it was gonna follow the books more than the movie, just with the movie actors 7:12 PMeathdemon​did you check out the 2 anime I recamanded? 7:13 PMSheekago​I still need to see Everything Everywhere All at Once. 7:16 PMeathdemon​@Andrew Eisen japan is much more willing to hide thinks, and not tell all 7:17 PMSheekago​So, I might need to plan an intermission break or two for Everything Everywhere. Thanks for the tip. 7:18 PMeathdemon​nah, I rather not see everything in trailers thanks 7:25 PMaddictedtochaos​Here's a recommendation for everyone, Grandia is now available on PS4/5, is free if you previously purchased on PS3. 7:26 PMJared Knisely​character should be the same as the source material 7:26 PMJared Knisely​is it that hard 7:27 PMLynndy Lee​you're taking hanging ten way to literally, silver surfer 7:27 PMCafeFox​@chaos really it's free if you have it already on ps3? Really cool 7:29 PMJared Knisely​i just dont like making a character the opposite gender usually female just to do so 7:29 PMaddictedtochaos​Yep, one of the best JRPGS I've ever played. Some awful voice acting though. 7:30 PMJared Knisely​i heard it ... bad very abd 7:30 PMCafeFox​@Chaos originally ported over by Working Designs right? Should have checked that out a long time ago. 7:31 PMaddictedtochaos​Don't think so. I think it was ported by Game Arts, and the PS version was published by Sony. 7:32 PMaddictedtochaos​Working Designs did Lunar. Which was also developed by Game Arts. 7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​Not all the voice acting in Grandia is bad, but some characters are awful. 7:33 PMCafeFox​I was thinking of Alundra I think. Yeah still Game Arts 7:36 PMaddictedtochaos​I've always viewed gender swaps as pointless, there are plenty of great female Marvel characters they can introduce. Perhaps not in that particular movie. 7:40 PMJared Knisely​dont know if you have answered this before but in terms of comic like stuff what do you think of manwhas 7:45 PMCafeFox​Apparently there's a female silver surfer named Juno on Earth 829 in the comics

Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes--to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and players focus on the innate properties of games and the experiences they provide, giving little attention to what it means to create and evaluate fine art. In Works of Game, John Sharp bridges this gap, offering a formal aesthetics of games that encompasses the commonalities and the differences between games and art. Sharp describes three communities of practice and offers case studies for each. "Game Art," which includes such artists as Julian Oliver, Cory Arcangel, and JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans) treats videogames as a form of popular culture from which can be borrowed subject matter, tools, and processes. "Artgames," created by gamemakers including Jason Rohrer, Brenda Romero, and Jonathan Blow, explore territory usually occupied by poetry, painting, literature, or film. Finally, "Artists' Games"--with artists including Blast Theory, Mary Flanagan, and the collaboration of Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman--represents a more synthetic conception of games as an artistic medium. The work of these gamemakers, Sharp suggests, shows that it is possible to create game-based artworks that satisfy the aesthetic and critical values of both the contemporary art and game communities. John Sharp is Associate Professor of Games and Learning at Parsons the New School for Design and a member of the game design collective Local No. 12. Learn more about your ad choices.
