Also Ilyrio, you have a spectacular voice. I absolutely loved your little piece of the Mikado.

The old pronounciation for Buenos Ayres is how it is in the reading from Candide. That’s the whole point…

No, they are not pronounced the same. As I just wrote, Buenos Ayres is an old spelling and pronounciation of what is today called Buenos Aires.

Whilst some people still pronounce Buenos Aires in the old style, it is more common now to put a long E sound in there, so that it comes out like “Bwey-nohs Air-ees” in English.

The standard pronounciation until the mid 20th century was “Bwey-nis Ayirs,” spelled as Buenos Ayres.

I enjoy the candide read even if I don’t like the character so much (too whiny)

What do you think of microsoft selling xbones without kinect? do you think is going to save the xbone?
I find this podcast one of the best of this month so far.
Chris being disruptive in the podcast reminds me of Lusipurr being disruptive in the rpgcast, so much fun to listen.
Moroumetz really makes an excellent Hulk Hogan voice .
ALL HAIL THE BLOOPERS!!!!!

I must be the only one who thinks this way.

I am disturbed by the disturbed orgasmic way chris talked each time he named a bad game in Lusipurr collection.

In the candide part I don’t understand these words : buenos what?
Candide is so whiny, I can’t say that I like him

I should print it out and stick it on the board!

Sigh… Yet take heart !!

Podcast joy is not lost, for doth do you swoth this day.
Swoon at Silicon NooB Taylor, a gent (of no doubt epic girth). The indomitable Lusipurr – unforgettable, unforgivable – a lord among most excellent site write-ups.

TSM is joined by, and enjoys guest hosts for, very often, near the knuckle commentary.
Sublime team, balancing crass with intelligence – no idea how you gents get away with it, fucking stunning podcast !!

Irony
Yeah, not ironic, I wrote that before I went and read the story then never edited it. Whoops.

Vertigo
Vertigo can be caused by various neurological and inner ear problems, the latter of which I experienced. For the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo

Candide
Well, every other man must be an even more murderous scoundrel then, being less mild than he.

Bloopers
I appreciate it, I really do.

“I was out with Vertigo last week…”
Now there’s an excuse I haven’t heard before. Were you trapped atop a building or a lofty pinnacle for the duration of the week?

“Candide is quite the murderous little punk isn’t he?”
Nonsense! He even tells us, repeatedly, how he is the mildest of men!

“Hurray for the return of bloopers!”
It’s all for you, DiceAdmiral. IT’S ALL FOR YOU.

Sounds fun. I’ll see if I can get some friends to comment.
I agree with Sabin, that “won’t install Steam games” is a huge cop out.

Bust a move sound
I played Bust-A-Move on Game Gear back in the day and recall nothing at all about the music.

Ruby and Sapphire
I dunno if I’m gonna buy one of these. I never finished Soul Silver, Black, or X.

Early access game abandoned after 200k sales
Ironic that this is catching flack given how vaporware-y LFoPD has been.

BTW, I was out with Vertigo last week and trying not to puke when I wasn’t lying still with my eyes shut.
Thanks for the props!

Candide
I’m still enjoying this a lot, ChrisP be-damned. Thanks for reading! Perhaps a future readership drive will allow readers to select further readings.
Candide is quite the murderous little punk isn’t he?

Dice Admiral’s Brettsuo Gaming Moment:
No more Dragon Commander yet, though I did finally return to D&D.

For months the players have been crawling slowly through a dungeon filled with brigands, a myriad of strange creatures (like the Cockatrice), and ancient teleportation devices linked to constellation patterns. When planning the current session, I considered their dungeon fatigue and planned some events should they choose to leave without fully exploring. I hadn’t really expected them to take outward paths, but when presented with an alternate exit to the dungeon, they swiftly took it. As a result, the bandit leader will be left with unlimited time to unearth the secrets of the ancient relics and will likely return somewhat later to make the players regret their lack of tenacity.
They instead consulted the “Hand of Fate” for guidance, and upon learning that information about everything they wanted to know lied East, immediately went West. The party returned to the town in which they began their adventure only to find several buildings are now smoking heaps and the villagers all missing with signs of conflict. They were exploring the town when the sunset. Shortly thereafter they were beset by zombies and instead of fighting their way out, decided to take refuge in the isolated upper floor of the inn, guessing that the zombies could not follow them. This worked well until they went to sleep and the necromancer behind the zombies set the inn ablaze. With even more zombies now besieging their flaming ‘fortress’ they had the choice of burning alive or attempting to escape through the horde. They chose the later and barely made it out alive, dragging the bleeding, unconscious cleric from the building mere moments before it collapsed. I’m intrigued to see what they do now. I’ve put them in a place where they have much more freedom to choose than when they were crawling the dungeon.

Hurray for the return of bloopers!
