Not Radio Free Burrito 44a: Full of tumult.

I’m getting ready for Blizzcon, and feeling alternately excited and terrified … so that’s what this is about.

• Radio Free Burrito doesn’t work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• The Dork Forest with me is live today. I think I said Jackie’s name wrong in the podcast, because I’m awesome like that.
• I was trying to look cool when I got to hold Frostmourne at Blizzard, but I was so geeked out, I ended up looking like … well, this.
• It feels weird to only have one note in the show notes, so here’s something about birds.
• Oh, you can get your own virtual ticket to Blizzcon here.
• This episode (not an episode) is 27m56s long and 17.3MB big.
• This is the end of the notes.

Radio Free Burrito 38a: Not Actually A Radio Free Burrito

This is not an actual Radio Free Burrito. I have some time today, and I have all my gear set up, so I talked at you for a little bit about some things.

• I realize that there’s some weird clipping or something near the end. I think that’s because I was recording live into Audacity instead of into my recorder thing, and when the screensaver kicked on, it confused things. Or not. Maybe it was a whole gremlin thing that I don’t know about, and maybe it’s going to come out of the computer and claw at my face while I’m trying to sleep. Well, if that happens, I’ve had a good run. Tell my wife I said, “hello.”

• There Came An Echo doesn’t suck. In fact, it’s pretty awesome.

Radio Free Burrito Episode Thirty-Nine: The Unearned Bell

It’s late, but for good reasons. Welcome to Radio Free Burrito!

This week, I talk a little bit about my creative process for the Tabletop RPG Show, my D&D 5E campaign, and I ring an unearned bell.

• The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his “in progress” website. Thanks, Marc!

• I love the Doubleclicks, and so will you.
• You can buy your own copy of The Fantasy World for the low low price of one dollar.
• Hank Green’s column at Medium.

• Hank says: This complete lack of objectivity and representation in cable news has degraded the legitimacy of news media as a whole. Young people have absolutely no faith in people sitting at desks on television anymore. It’s gotten so bad that the most trusted news show among people under 40 is on Comedy Central. The Daily Show, it should be noted, spends as much time mocking the news media as it does talking about the news, further decreasing young people’s trust of the news. The news is losing an entire generation.

  Legacy media isn’t mocking us because we aren’t a legitimate source of information; they’re mocking us because they’re terrified. Their legitimacy came from the fact that they have access to distribution channels and that they get to be in the White House press pool because of some long-ago established procedures that assumed they would use that power in the public interest. In reality, those things are becoming less and less important and less and less true. Distribution is free to anyone with a cell phone and the legitimacy of cable news sounds to me like an oxymoron. The median-aged CNN viewer is 60. For Fox, it’s 68.

• Jenny McCarthy is a dangerous idiot.
• Slightly more consequential than a deflated football, is all I’m saying.
• There’s no new episode next week because I’ll be on a boat
• This week’s show is 194MB and 36 minutes long. 26MB (vbr mp3) and 36 minutes long.

Radio Free Burrito Episode Thirty-Eight: You Really Shouldn’t Listen To This

By Grabthar’s Hammer, it’s a new RFB!

This week, Anne is back to discuss our dog who eats her own shit and then throws up her own shit in our house, the flock of wild parrots we want to set on fire, going to Kings games, playing games on Tabletop, and our Foundation to Increase Awesome.

You should not listen to this episode, though, because the story of Marlowe eating her own shit and then throwing it up in our house is really, really awful. You have been warned.

• The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his “in progress” website. Thanks, Marc!
• Radio Free Burrito doesn’t work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This week’s theme music is Rock Box, from RUN DMC’s classic debut album.

• Anne’s blog about calling me while I was in Germany is pretty funny.
• Parrot Vines.
• This week’s music is The Arsonist & The Thief, by Robyn Cage. She’s on tour in Utah at the moment, if you’d like to see her perform live.
• My rehearsals for War of the Worlds.
• Marlowe Wheaton, ladies and gentlemen.
• Auction of Stone Age to benefit the Foundation to Increase Awesome.
• Auction of Council of Verona, and The Hare and The Tortoise, also to benefit the foundation.
• You’re killing me, Kings.
• This episode is 1h20m long, and weighs in at 112.8MBs. That’s a lot of Ms and Bs.
• This is the end of the notes, though I feel (like I always do) like I’m forgetting something important.

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Thirty-Three

Holy Crap it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! 

Today, I talked about some games I've been playing, rambled a little (a lot) and talked a bit about comic books and beer. It's a stream of consciousness RFB, so you probably want to skip this one.

If you're still thinking about listening to this, be warned: something PROFOUNDLY OFFENSIVE EVEN TO ME comes up in the demo of Cards Against Humanity.

Show Notes:

• The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
• Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This week's theme music is Gidget Goes to Hell by Suburban Lawns.
• Listen to Janitor here. In fact, watch it, too. This is what music videos started out as, kids.
• Learn more about this fantastic New Wave band here.
• Here's a random link from Wikipedia.
• Here's Cards Against Humanity.
• 7 Wonders is really a lot of fun. Don't bother getting the expansions.
• This seems legit.
• The Resistance works with 5, but it really comes alive with 7 or more.
• Reddit agrees with my conclusion about why there's been a troll explosion recently.
• I feel like this is as necessary as explaining how to buckle an airplane seatbelt, but here's my show Tabletop on Geek and Sundry.
• The soundtrack from VVVVVV is called PPPPPP (because why wouldn't it?) and can be purchased from Souleye, who composed it. 
• Did you know you can get a little smooshy plush version of me? Now you do.
• Massive thanks to Kathleen for getting me a new bell just like this one. Yeah, it's a classy bell, right there. It doesn't try to be all fancy; it just does what a good bell should do.
• I know that I'm forgetting something.
• I'm also forgetting something else.
• Does anyone read these notes?
• I wrote about the Parsely System on my blog.
• Paul and Storm made a video for Write Like The Wind.
• This episode is about 49.4MB. Goddamn, thats a lot of Ms and Bs.
• This episode is about 51 minutes long. That's probably where all the Ms and Bs came from.
• I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it directly here, it's a giant hassle to get it. I am aware of this problem, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass for me to correct it, given the tools I have available to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'm very annoyed by it, but I can make a podcast, or I can be a bug-squashing code monkey. I can't do both, and I quite frankly prefer making the podcast. Listener Dave K. built a workaround that you can learn all about here. Thanks, Dave!
• Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done. Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.
• Please note that I've been wishing for Apple to fix this bug for over twofour years. Yay.
• This is the end of the notes.

Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

It's one of those shows where I talked for an hour, and feel like I didn't say anything at all.

Also, I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it directly here, it's a giant hassle to get it. I am aware of this problem, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass for me to correct it, given the tools I have available to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'm very annoyed by it, but I can make a podcast, or I can be a bug-squashing code monkey. I can't do both, and I quite frankly prefer making the podcast.

• Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast does, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This week's theme music is Driver 8, from REM's amazing Fables Of The Reconstruction.
• On today's show, I talked about the responses and thoughts I had when I told Twitter, "All I want to do today is listen to REM and paint 40K figures. It would be like sitting in my dressing room in 1988, minus the muscle suit."
• Here I am on Twitter. If you choose to follow me, read this first.
• Warhammer 40K is an amazing universe, with more than just Ultramarines in it.
• Ultramarine loyalists: I don't have anything against your chapter. It was just a silly thing with my friends when I was 14. Please don't hurt me.
• You can get your own copy of Dungeon Delve at Amazon.
• If you're interested in checking out D&D 4th Edition, this post on my blog may help you get started. If you're interested in running a game, I once talked a little bit about the art of DMing.
• The Freeport setting from Green Ronin is intended for D&D 3.5 (or compatible rules, like True 20 or Pathfinder) but it's really neat and very easy to swap out the 3.5 creatures and NPCs for 4e equivalents.
• Toward the end of the show, I played Downstream by Shira Kammen from the Soundtrack to Braid, available from Magnatune.com.
• This episode is about 55MB. Holy shit.
• This episode is about 57 minutes long. Holy shit.
• Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done (please see the above note.) Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.
• This is the end of the notes.
