  1. 13 Reasons Why

    I just got finished with episode 8 last night and episode 9 came up and while I appreciate the heads up it is deflating my enthusiasm to watch more.

    There won't be an adventure zone this week. Griffin and Henry are sick and Griffin hasn't had time to prepare for recording/the episode. The next episode will go up next week.
  3. ^^ that would explain why i heard it fairly recently if it wasn't the ep 300 montage. i have been listening to the progresscasts recently too.

    You're totally right, and I'm so pumped that other people are enjoying it too. I listened to the little intro that they put for it on the Serial feed and Sarah Koenig used 'novelistic' to describe it too. I think it's beautifully fitting for a story about a complicated person, as all people are complicated. I'm constantly struck by the feat of telling the story in S(hit)town with such grace and honesty.

    In TTAZZ he literally talks about how Kravitz will be back in this arc and as SBM mentioned would have been back sooner were it not for his players making their own decisions. He also talks about how he's been trying to incorporate more stuff from here there be gerblins into the overall show, because they did that arc before he had an idea of the story he wanted to explore. I don't think there's anything wrong with bringing back Barry. honestly, i find friends at the table boring and impenetrable. i'm glad other people like it, but it's doing a different thing, I think than Adventure Zone
  6. I think it was in the intro/outro montage for the 300 idle thumbs also (probably that episode that Paul Smith mentioned), because I feel like I just heard that story not that long ago.

    I think the show is an amazing exercise in collaborative story telling and I think Griffin is telling an amazing story and I'm excited to see how it ends. I think TTAZZ is making me appreciate each of the characters even more as they get into motivation and inner dialogues.

    The teams behind This American Life & Serial have launched s-town https://stownpodcast.org - a supremely moving and effective feat of investigative journalism. I highly recommend it!

    re: your comments - very fair. I like that reading a lot As far as the max fun drive goes - you can cancel your subscription at any time. Max Fun will create a recurring payment to pull from your card each month. In your contribution email you'll have a link that gives you a way to manage your account, and you can cancel from there. They don't accept payments of less than $5 as the fees for processing credit cards make it basically worthless to do less than $5 charges. I assume if you cancel before physical rewards are mailed out, you wouldn't get them, but canceling after you get the password for the bonus content will still give you access to the archive for the year.
  13. Endorsements from Thumbs Readers

    I've recently picked up knitting, and I highly recommend it. It's a a very fun, soothing repetitive action that manifests into something usable. I just bought a learning to knit kit that came with needles, some accessories and a book and taught myself how to cast on, knit & purl from the book in about an hour and am working on scarf. When I get more comfortable and better at it, it'll be a fun thing to do while I have the tv on in the background or listen to podcasts while I do it. For now it takes my full attention, but I'm very much enjoying it!
  14. whenever you talked about the flonase emblazoned clothes all I could think of was this series of Totino's vines from Griffin McElroy
  15. Movie/TV recommendations

    I watched Amy Sherman-Palladino pilot an Amazon The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I think it's actually an exceptionally well constructed pilot. I highly recommend it. it's really different than Gilmore Girls or Bunheads. It's a lot more grown up (I don't mean that just because there's nudity) and better/more mature story telling than her earlier shows had. I would love to talk about it.
  16. you want to listen to abbey road how it was meant to be listened to - peaking at octopus's garden.
  17. (Not Harvest Moon) Story of Seasons

    I'm about halfway through Summer and am totally loving it. Goals are more clearly expressed in this game than in the last one, and there's always something to work toward. I'm really loving it!
  18. I will buy physical copies of CDs I really love but mostly stick to a handful of artists I already like and buy when their new releases come out. Microsoft's music service lets you download a DRM free zip of the mp3s you buy and you download them to as many devices as you want as well as stream. I stick to that because 1. I hate iTunes and 2. Having everything in onedrive makes it easy to organize and access my music anywhere. Plus I have a cd player in my car if I ever want to listen to an album front to back, which I often do.

    Starting Monday is the MaxFunDrive. They just announced the drive rewards for this year. If you've ever thought about donating, the drive is the best time to do so because there are match donors that will contribute a set amount (between 1 cent and 1 dollar) for each new or upgrading donor, so you get to be responsible for even more money going to the network and the shows you like! If you have specific questions about the drive, feel free to let me know, or you can always listen to drive episodes of shows as they explain most everything. (I don't work for MaxFun, I just think this is a super cool way to support the network and the shows we listen to!) Plus the $10/month pins are hot like fyre
