podcast rant by Paraguayan gamer

There's a link to this podcast posted on RPGnet. Was this done by an acquaintance of yours, Pundit?

Clearly a jab at the Pundit. Funny as hell, too. :teehee:

[Benoist]

Link to RPGnet thread?

I have to say, this was fucking hilarious.  Much more clever than any other attempt at parody that came before.  Part of the cleverness of it was how much of it was direct parody of my own writing.

The guy speaks way too slowly to be imitative, though I guess that's not something he could really have known.  Likewise, the soundtrack was pretty fucking awful, not something I'd ever be listening to, but again, no way he could have known that.

Frankly, the parody is just TOO good; the guy who did this has clearly studied my writing a bit too much, I think that on some level, he has to get it (which is really the major issue with other attempts at parodying me, that they basically just make shit up that have nothing to do with what I actually say).  This guy exaggerates, but its an extrapolation and not just made up bullshit with no relation with what I actually try to say. Dare I say that there's actually some kind of undercurrent of respect, if not admiration?

Anyways, I admire the guy's effort.

Its certainly the best gaming podcast I've ever heard.

It almost makes me want to make one of my own.

"when they pretend to be hip, we'll expose them as lame.
When they pretend to be accommodating, we'll expose them as insidious.
And finally when they expose themselves as the freaks they really are, we will expose them to the whole world."

Fucking excellent.

I mean seriously, fucking Christ, were it not the site that it was hosted from, I would think this was a well-meaning send-up from a fan.

I also thought it was a fun listen, though I agree the music was rather terrible. Not being familiar with the site I wasn't sure if it was a parody or not, hence my post on here.

[Spinachcat]

Fuck it and mea culpa.  You ARE a gaming celebrity.

[RPGPundit]

The Wench said something to that effect, that "they should have known this would only be a win for me no matter what".

The guy definitely sounds like a fan rather than a parodist.

Let us know when you get to it .

What kind of site is it exactly? My first impression caused me not to click any further on there expecting GMS/Forge blah blah.

[RPGPundit]

Well, they have a link to Conspiracy of Shadows on their front page, which is a Forge-designed game.  So I was assuming... though I guess its not certain.

I'm glad you enjoyed the show.  Episode 2 is available now on the site and on iTunes.

Not bad, maybe not quite the oomph of the first one, basically because it feels like more of the same.  

Also, snacks do not go well with a hookah or any other sort of smoking implement; drinks yes, snacks no.
