Podcasts about Innuendo Studios

On this stream we are discussing the recent discourse surrounding Alberta separating from Canada after the LPC victory, the Canadian government turning away South African refugees, and Innuendo Studios going bankrupt which is funny and good. Stream starts at 09:32.

This video essay discusses the Delinquency in a Birth Cohort study(ies) which looked into the causes of recidivism. This essay looks to understand why the causes of recidivism are so important to understand, how that understanding helps us to understand crime as a whole, and why the study(ies) show that our fundamental understanding of crime is flawed. And how does that flaw lead to increased crime.

Co-hosts Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan discuss the enormous and detailed Project 2025, a collection of policy proposals created by The Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States government in the image of current-day far right conservativism. It seeks to mandate conservative Christian values, dismantle many social programs and government departments, and to provide ready-made policy positions and personnel for the next Republican president. This description barely begins to do justice to the sweeping, detrimental changes this tome proposes. Wendy and Robin begin to look at its elements broadly and anticipate future conversations about Project 2025 along with discovering and taking part in things we can do to keep it from being enacted. In concert with the featured conversation, Robin sparks a discussion on a video by Innuendo Studios, "Always a Bigger Fish" in the Geekscape for a better understanding of conservative vs. liberal worldviews. The show begins on a lighter note with a few rewinds to Episode 160 and This Fortnight I Learned facts about Google searches and ants in New York City. News includes the upcoming presidential debate slated for June 27th, the Supreme Court's end-of-June decisions, a "tactical pause" of the fighting in a portion of Gaza, the continuing adverntures of Trump and Rudy in the Georgia election fraud case, and wild Przewalski's horses returned to Kazakhstan's Golden Steppe. For Lefty of the Week, Wendy names local activist Quanae "Pie Lady" Palmer.

Plato said something about a person's legacy being either their children or their accomplishments. We don't want kids so unfortunately this might be the only mark of the Guy siblings that survives the ages. Totally worth it, not a doubt in our minds. In part two of chapter 6 we continue to debunk the assertion that women are not pulling their weight in society through the arbitrary standards he's created to support his argument. We start by chatting a little bit about Myron bringing white nationalist and misogynist Nick Fuentes onto his podcast in early July then get into why using the gender breakdown of college majors is a horrible way to track the actual jobs people end up with,  why majoring in "useful" fields of study might not be the best way to make money or help society,  why both sexes are directed into different major paths even if they have identical interests, why the top-10 jobs for women are actually pretty important for society and there are serious barriers for women trying to get into the career paths he thinks are integral to human civilization,  and why using FMLA and vacation leave rates as a litmus test for women's interest in careers is one of the stupider things he's said. Joel also noticed Aaron/Myron's weird obsession with the interests of business over those of workers and took some time to talk about the political aspects of the text. He compares it the 14 basic tenets of fascism through Umberto Eco's essay Ur-Faciscm and argues that though this is pretty sloppily written it serves as a great way to indoctrinate people (mostly men) into explicitly fascist thinking patterns. Cool stuff.

On the final episode of this series, we are going to finally look at the general Hegemony of the Harry Potter series...or at least the best that two can people can while trying to cram this into an hour.

Brian's -35 C. road trip in a shorter range Tesla Model 3. Tesla heat pump problems for Canadian owners and lots of clean new tech at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Plus why do EVs threaten people on our forums? Consumer Electronics Show - Chevy Silverado EV and roofing shingles that have solar built in yet you can nail them in with a hammer. Also the Equinox EV will be available at under $30,000 USD according to General Motors. Not much to say about the Sony car. How long are the wait times for the new EV cross-overs in North America like the Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, etc? Could be years our listener is told. Shipping fossil fuels accounts for 40% of all emissions from shipping! The Silverado EV pickup. Nailable solar roof shingles and more from CES.

Having taken our discussion of the Manifesto components of the Cartographer's Handbook to it's conclusion, we next start discussing the individual stories and what we take away from them. Today's discussion includes: Detailed discussion of elements of the tales of Maggie Struthers, Henry Jackson, James Gregory and Bo Travis the balance between appropriate historical worldbuilding, showing the foolishness of prejudice, and how and if we show empathy for those we don't agree with exploring the concept of justice/punishment/atonement the significance on the ethnicity of the voices of the Handbook, and whether the Cartographers meant to make contact would be diverse or not Death of the Euphemism by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/0dBJIkp7qIg The Thermian Argument by Dan Olson: https://youtu.be/AxV8gAGmbtk   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Changes" by 2Pac Shakur ft.

Where the last episode was prologue, now we start getting to the meat of what the Handbook actually does, for the internal audience and us, the external audience. Topics include: The idea of propaganda, and its effect on the displaced peoples of America, and how it might affect the reader. Discussion of the supernatural elements of New Century Transparency, the good and the bad. Do we find the Handbook's arguments compelling, and do we think their intended audience would agree? The Historical Accuracy (ugh) of the N-word's presence. And finally, the tactical purpose of the Handbook's stories, and if they provide the right incentive. And that's just this episode. These simple topics on the framework sprawled, and we'll finish up our deconstruction of the Handbook's intent... next week.   Spoilers for The Hateful Eight The Alt-Right Playbook - Always a Bigger Fish by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/agzNANfNlTs Why is Jesus White, by Muhammed Ali: https://youtu.be/7eXdt1eGgCA   The New Century Multiverse Website: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com The New Century Multiverse Podcast Feed: https://newcenturyshow.podbean.com/   Intro is "One Person, Listening Now" by Doctor Turtle of freemusicarchive.org Outro is "Faded (Piano Instrumental)" by Alan Walker  

In this episode, Jose joins, as we talk about our frustrations with the Democratic Party's inability to deliver on its promises, as the Joe Biden administration caves on $15 minimum wage.

"It's a truism that everyone responds to media differently. Maybe I would get more out of certain works if I was able to focus better. But speaking for myself... I have never had a problem focusing on New Century. That's why I said yes when asked about doing a podcast. Text or audio, it draws me in. I do appreciate how much the audiodrama offers over the text, and as Toby and I have kept saying, Tiger's Eye is one of the best examples of that. The work of Maureen, and Alex, and all the rest make this world come alive and demands our attention." It is Today. We are digging into Chapters 6-10 of Tiger's Eye, and are immediately back on our bullshit, making cat puns. Yay? We start off with some meta. Instead of talking about the events of these chapters, we instead discuss larger concepts: talking about how names of creatures in Rama were chosen by the author, and how our understanding of events and communication are different depending on whether you read or listen to the story. We start talking about what role humans might have actually played in the history of the cats of Rama, and what role they might yet play, given that Miguel has clearly come from a world of humans... humans they may encounter in Hrao's quest to return Miguel to his home. And to round us out, a further discussion on mythology, magic... and more cat puns.    To learn about the internal narrator: The Artist is Absent by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/4N6y6LEwsKc?t=1000 (clip begins at the relevant part, stop at 20:10 to avoid spoilers for 'The Beginners Guide'.) also, Americapox: The Missing Plague: https://youtu.be/JEYh5WACqEk   The New Century Multiverse books and audio dramas can be found on: https://www.newcenturymultiverse.com   Intro is "The Legend of El Dorado" by Derek and Brandon Feitcher Midroll Music - "Bridge over Troubled Water" (Instrumental) - Simon and Garfunkel Outro is "Shadowman" by Afrocelt Soundsystem  

Im Format "Esthers Medientagebuch" stelle ich (Esther) kurz einen Film, Serie vor, der mich in der letzten Zeit beschäftigt hat und teile meine Gedanken. Diese Woche geht es um einen Actionfilm: Mad Max: Fury Road. Der Film ist zwar bereits von 2015 aber meiner Meinung zeitlos sehenswert - und das obwohl Actionfilme eigentlich gar nicht mein Genre sind. Im Medientagebuch erzähle ich, warum mich der Film so fasziniert, wieso ich ihn feministisch finde und dass ich beim Schauen des Films das erste Mal "Spaß" an Gewalt hatte. Musik: C Major Prelude Bach (YouTube Audio Library under Creative Commons CC licence) Shownotes Der Film auf Amazon Spannende Reihe auf Youtube von Innuendo Studios über den Film und wie er mit klassischen Actionfilm-Tropes bricht Good read zu Eve Enslers Rolle im Film:

"It goes to show how important it was to Alex to create a moral dilemma that had no easy clear answer, because a similar action sounds so much more understandable when it's written and presented like this with its surrounding context… and then you look at reality, which makes writers bang their head on the table when people often complain about characters in fiction not making sensible decisions and how it doesn't feel “realistic”, when reality is filled with people who would be called poorly written if they ever appeared in fiction!" Here it is, folks. The last bit of Episode 10, the last bit of Secret Rooms: Part 2- Setting Out... but not the last on race relations, because we've still got Chapter 14 to cover next time... plus, Cartographer's Handbook, Arlington and... well, the whole of reality. But I digress. If you want to avoid all talk of the Coronavirus, you can skip ahead to the 12 minute mark, because we get into the parallels of people not doing something because the government says so. We also talk about Southern opinions on women, the British, and the Irish, we talk about how you handle trauma/abuse in fiction... and you get to hear us say 'Fuck Buck'. Really, a rollicking good time for all.

Welcome to Part 2 of our Whitescarves Team-Up with the Horror Hulk, Nick Ord! In this episode, we go into why he feels Let Them Go was heavily influenced by the Night of The Living Dead movies, talk some more about connections to other narratives and tropes, and honestly, laugh a lot along the way as we have fun letting our geek flag fly. Laughter is needed now. Content Warning: State violence against black people are touched on briefly in the conversations due to elements of some of the movies. I feel its important to highlight this due to the ongoing protests involving real state sanction violence in the here and now, even if we don't delve too deeply - one bit from the original conversation was excised due to potentially insensitive and triggering content. #BlackLivesMatter Potential spoilers for Night of the Living Dead '68, Night of the Living Dead '90, The Evil Dead '2013 and spoilers for most New Century novels excluding Uncivil Outlaw.   Midnight Movies Online can be found here: https://midnightmoviesonline.wordpress.com/   Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire: http://seananmcguire.com/shr.php The Avengine Feminine - Introduction by Innuendo Studios: https://youtu.be/wmR8A1a8shk Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Jekyll_and_Mr._Holmes   Intro is "The Avengers" by Alan Sylvestri Outro is "Come With Me Now" by KONGOS

Innuendo Studios does a series called the Alt Right playbook. While debunking alt right stuff would be good, he goes way beyond that fear mongering that anyone not far left is merely a road to the evil alt right. What's the point of his series? Certainly not to help de-radicalize alt right peeps. More to virtue signal or radicalize people to the far left. Watch the full episode on youtube here: https://youtu.be/e3QjxYaIiKk

Hi! It's been a wild year. Thanks to Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios for a conversation on loss, life, happiness, and home (and a little bit about games). Special thanks to Ben Cohn for the music ("File Select" from Land of the Gods, Vol II).

I know it's been a while, but I'm here to prove that this podcast isn't history! Even though this episode is all about history! This week we're joined by Josh Howard, public historian, Everquest enthusiast, bacon admirer, to dig down deep into what it means to love precarious places. From childhood gaming groups and the awkwardness of leaving home to Everquest memorials for dead children, this episode runs the emotional gauntlet. What precious places are you poised to lose? This episode is the finale of "Playing Appalachia", a series of conversations with Appalachian and Appalachian adjacent gamers and game makers. To start at the beginning, check out "What Games Are Getting Right About Appalachia" with Dr. Elizabeth Catte, followed by our conversation with Cardboard Computer about Kentucky Route Zero to learn more about the relationship between magical realism and Appalachia. The third part of the series is "Rural Flight, Virtually Speaking" with Meredith Wilson, an Appalachian transplant whose experiences in the region have affected the way she makes games (and who she makes games for), with part four introducing us to Appalachian-raised Jerel Culliss (aka King Lemming of Team CoFH) who regales us with tales of LAN parties and Minecraft modding ethics in "Modding Appalachia". In part five and six, "The Streamers of Madison County" and "Death Mountain Lifestyle", we met up with JD's childhood friends, a live streamer known as The Caked Crusader, and an editor who moved out of the area, to talk growing up nerdy in Madison County, North Carolina.  (psst.... Thanks Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios for editing this episode!) Now, excuse me while I go petition for a National Register of Historic Digital Spaces.

At Pax East 2018 I participated in a panel discussion on Patreon and some of the things I've learned using the crowd funding platform. Also on the panel were Tanya C.

Should we ever talk to the alt-right? When we do so, why does it feel so unproductive? Why can't we on the left ever seem to "win" debates with the alt-right? Why are Gamer-Gaters so angry? These are just a few of the questions Ian Danskin of the YouTube channel Innuendo Studios has sought to answer. He does so brilliantly and incisively. I've found his work to be incredibly illuminating. He was kind enough to come on the show and talk about his background, how he got into this line of work, and answer some of my questions about political discourse and his videos!

The movie "The Handmaiden" weaves a deeply intriguing tale about women trying to liberate themselves from a world(view) created and enforced by men, but is it entirely successful in its premise? The movie's final act recedes from the female perspective, and even resolves with a sex scene that is arguably seen from a 'male' lens. Did the movie come up short, or is it all according to plan? What if there's more going on? Join us as we unwrap and expose the ending's secrets! Shout out to Innuendo Studios for putting the movie on our radar, and putting us on the trail of questioning the ending.

This is an audio podcast written and created by Stephan and Tabz in a dialogue format. It consists of things that send shivers down our backbone, keep us up at night, things that set fire to our soul and leave a cinnamon taste in our mouth, things that we can hold in the palm of our hands and those we cannot even agree exist. Not convinced to listen yet? well, there are also bunch of video game endings and movies we love that everyone else seem to hate. So you can also get your dose of drama here.

There’s a lot of assumptions folks make about violence and video games, from beliefs that violence in video games cause real life violent crime, to the stereotype that violence in video games is intended only for our more dudely players. But what about the violence that happens in real life sports? Does tackling and dragging someone to the ground for a ball make you more likely to tackle and drag someone to the ground out in the real world? And do women really like all that brutal physicality anyways? As far as brutality goes, the sport of rugby is about as brutal as they come. Sometimes it hurts to watch rugby, much less play it. Legend has it that rugby was invented in England in 1823, when William Webb Ellis decided the rules of soccer (“football”) didn’t apply to him, picked up the ball with his hands, and ran the length of the pitch to score the first ever try. The Tulane Women’s Rugby Team follows in this great rugby tradition of smashing expectations, and are currently ranked third in the country after only two years of competitive play. This week we're joined by members of Tulane University's Women's Rugby Team, Emma Peterson and Hayley Alexander. Emma and Hayley want folks to know that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to the "violence" in rugby, and that the respect and comraderie of rugby is actually the selling point of the sport... not the bruises and the black eyes (however fetching they can be). Unfortunately, Hayley and Emma have found that rugby isn’t always thought of as a “women’s sport”, mostly due to assumptions about what genders are interested in physically brutal gameplay. And when people DO think of women rugby players, they often assume the women are all hyper-masculine drunken lesbians who are into bar fights. While there undoubtedly are rugby women who fall into those categories ("shoot the boot" is a real and terrifying thing, apparently), Hayley and Emma discuss some of the stereotype-shattering aspects of the women’s rugby community, from teams filled to the brim with sorority girls, to winning kicking competitions at rugby tournaments in pencil skirts. Emma Peterson, originally from Northern California, is a graduate student at Tulane University, getting her M.A. in English. She plays for Tulane Women's Rugby Club.   Hayley Alexander, originally from Bellevue, WA, is a senior at Tulane University, getting her M.P.H (Masters in Public Health). She's the president of the Tulane University Women's Rugby Club.   This episode is the fifth (and final) episode in Gaming Broad(ly)'s series on violence and video games. For the full conversation, start with “Episode 10: Moral Combat—Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong” with researchers Chris Ferguson and Patrick Markey on the (lack of) data about video games causing real life acts of violence, followed by “Episode 11: Why Are You So Angry?”, with Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios, to learn more about why folks get so, well, aggressive about making sure games stay violent. Part three will bring you to "Episode 12: Why Are You Afraid of Virtual Reality?" with Gijs Molsbergen for a discussion on virtual reality, violence and trauma, and the responsibility of VR advocates to make psychologically healthy and enjoyable VR experiences. In Episode 13, "The Unbearable Anxiety of Tweeting", we looked at how just the FEAR of violence in online gaming spaces causes ripple effects that impact even our conversations and interpersonal relationships.    Stuff we mentioned...How to Play RugbyTulane UniversityRugby BallMoon WalkingShoot the Boot JD (The Broad)Website: GamingBroadly.comTwitter: @JayDeeCepticonInstagram: @JayDeeCepticon Tulane Women's Rugby Club (The Cast)Facebook: TulaneUWRFC Instagram: @Tulanewrfc Website: www.tulanewrfc.wixsite.com/tuwrfc  Gaming Broad(cast) is the official podcast of GamingBroadly.com.

Subtweeting is all the rage these days. And no, we don't mean tweeting from a Subway. Rae Sterling, writer and twitter role-player, joins us this week to talk about how (and why) passive-aggressiveness crops up in online gaming spaces. Join us this week to learn more about Twitter roleplay, the benefit and detriment of anonymity on the internet, and the toxic effects of passive-aggression on community-building.  While the anonymity of the internet is what has allowed Rae to really delve deep into the cathartic (and often therapeutic)  world of role-play, Rae thinks that anonymity also makes space for people to dredge up the worst part of themselves in the form of trolling, pile-ons, and emotional abuse. Subtweeting and vaguebooking is a way that a lot of folks deal with the fear of internet aggression, but these indirect forms of communication wind up creating toxic play spaces. Subtweeting, indirectly tweeting something about someone without mentioning their name (even though it's KIND OF clear who the person tweeting is referring to), can have surprisingly devastating effects on individuals and communities. Add in an anxiety disorder? The effects become ten-fold! This episode is part four in Gaming Broad(ly)'s series on violence and video games. Continuing from previous conversations, this week we look at how just the FEAR of violence in online gaming spaces causes ripple effects that impact even our conversations and interpersonal relationships. For the full conversation, start with “Episode 10: Moral Combat—Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong” with researchers Chris Ferguson and Patrick Markey on the (lack of) data about video games causing real life acts of violence, followed by “Episode 11: Why Are You So Angry?”, with Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios, to learn more about why folks get so, well, aggressive about making sure games stay violent. Part three will bring you to "Episode 12: Why Are You Afraid of Virtual Reality?" with Gijs Molsbergen for a discussion on virtual reality, violence and trauma, and the responsibility of VR advocates to make psychologically healthy and enjoyable VR experiences. Rae Sterling (they/them) is a gender adjacent in-progress writer of both comics and prose based in Austin, Texas. In their spare time, they work full time at Austin Books and Comics and at reading more than your daily suggested serving of comics to keep up with the ever-moving world. They participate in online role-playing on Twitter and Tumblr, play Overwatch, and describe themselves as "bad at video games". Their passions include speaking loudly and to whomever will listen about both LGBT+ comic books, diversity in comics, and the importance of all-ages comics in the lives of young readers. In Austin, Rae is working hard to become a source of information to both schools and parents for all-ages graphic novels and comic books.

The next frontier of video game development is the virtual one, and research about the impact of violence in Virtual Realiy (VR) has started to gear up (if Dr. Chris Ferguson of Episode 10 is any indication). This week JD continues the conversation about violence in video games by chatting about violence and VR with Gijs Molsbergen, a virtual reality gamer with experience developing an award winning VR experience. Gijs is a VR advocate, and has been awed and inspired by the experience and potential of virtual reality for quite a while.  But loving something also means acknowledging how powerful it can be, and Gijs admits there could be some unintended negative effects of VR if developers and VR advocates don’t take their role as VR ambassadors seriously. While Gijs thinks violence in VR is extremely unlikely to cause acts of violence in real life, there is the potential for virtual reality to be traumatic for folks who aren’t fully prepared for just how real VR can feel. Gijs has some suggestions to help make the mental transition from physical to virtual a good one, from physical grounding techniques and proper mental preparation, to thinking ahead about designing experiences that mitigate the effects of harassment in virtual spaces. The episode culminates with Gijs talking about his work with the National Video Game Museum in the Netherlands (opening October 2017), which will include a Virtual Reality exhibit and game research lab. Gaming Broad(ly) field trip to the Netherlands, anyone? This episode is part three in Gaming Broad(ly)'s series on violence and video games. For the full conversation, start with “Episode 10: Moral Combat—Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong” with researchers Chris Ferguson and Patrick Markey on the (lack of) data about video games causing real life acts of violence, followed by “Episode 11: Why Are You So Angry?”, with Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios, to learn more about why folks get so, well, aggressive about making sure games stay violent.

Ian Danskin of Innuendo Studios joins JD this week to talk the WHY of violence. Specifically, why does violence matter so much to so many people who play games? Ian explores why the mission to keep violence in video games feels so personal to so many people, and why conversations about the cultural implications of violence in video games get so heated. A particularly relevant conversation, seeing as the past few years have seen a flurry of intense (and somewhat scary) responses to critiques of the ubiquity of violence in video games (Gamergate and the harassment directed towards Anita Sarkeesian being notable examples). For Ian, regardless of how we think the violence affects us, there is the question of what the violence is used to sell and who it’s supposed to sell itself to. Tune in this week to learn about the ripple effects of censorship attempts, the gendered nature of marketing, and how the perceived naughtiness of violence in video games can affect our emotional attachment to these digital playscapes. Ian Danskin is a New England media artist and video essayist. He makes videos about games and web culture on his YouTube channel, Innuendo Studios. This episode is the second in a current mini series on violence and video games. For the first episode in the series, check out Episode 10: Moral Combat--Why the War on Violent Video Games is Wrong.

Join us for a discussion of The Beginner's Guide. This game is so complicated and so deep and so oddly emotional - whether funny or brutally devastating is really up to you, apparently - that we bring in a psychiatrist to help us sift through the experience. I'm having a hard time deciding exactly what to type here about this game; it's almost a divine experience certainly without parallel in the gaming space, an opinion I hold to the level of that for Kentucky Route Zero. The Beginner's Guide is not as much all about videogames as The Stanley Parable, but instead it's a game all about the making of games, the sustaining of the creative forces required to make such inhumanly exhausting projects that are such pieces of the creators' soul(s). I don't want to spoil this experience for any of you (spoiling is what listening to our podcast is for, after all), but take it from me: this is a game you should play if you've ever even considered the humans behind your games.We recommend listening to our The Stanley Parable podcast beforehand, the spiritual precursor to this game, also by Davey Wreden.Relevant links!Check out our own musician Pauly, whose song Unravishing is featured in this episode!Galactic Cafe: Davey Wreden's blog post about The Stanley ParableThe Artist is Absent: Davey Wreden and The Beginner's Guide - a truly amazing analysis video of The Beginner's Guide by Innuendo Studios on YouTube (33m)Errant Signal: The Beginner's Guide - another awesome breakdown analysis from the YouTube channel Errant Signal (20m) - watch this if you suspect Coda might be a real personThe theme this week is "The Func" by VCMG, a free download from chipmusic.org.The Will's Quiz Minute(tm) theme is Linker, also by beloved Pauly!

Somewhat late, we present this month's interview of the Critical Distance Confab! I interview Ian Danskin of the Innuendo Studios YouTube channel. In 2014, Ian Danskin made his first YouTube video about celebrity in internet culture, This is Phil Fish, and what that means. He expected a few views and he would build his audience over time, except that video went viral and is to date, by far, his most viewed video. Since then, he's mostly trekked his own path and talked about whatever interested him. We cover some of those interests in talking about adventure games, the challenge of discussing theory that was mostly self taught and, of course, the virality of YouTube videos and the efforts of tracking what an audience is looking for.
