Radio Free Burrito: Episode Thirty-Three
wil, · Categories: Books, Games, MusicHoly 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.
Ready? Then put in your mouthguard, and
Download Radio Free Burrito Episode 33!
Love the teacher bell!
and the “feed the burrito” link still doesn’t work. Is that on purpose? i got a few bucks to load into the machine, rubbed them across the edge so they’re nice and straight…
It doesn't work for me, either. I'm not sure why, but I suspect one of the privacy-enhancement blockers I use is stopping it.
Halloween, 1982. Universal Amphitheater. My 1st concert. Suburban Lawns opened for Boingo during their Nothing To Fear Tour. How lucky I am.
BTW, you want Apple to fix the embed bug? Submit it to bugreporter.apple.com
Well, hopefully someone can find a way around that or even a different route altogether….
I read all the notes. True story.
I’m pretty new to your podcast so I’m not sure if it’s just a thing, but your voice sounds very faint compared to the music and ‘commercials’ that you play.
Great fun and informative! Will be downloading your future podcasts avidly! Love from the UK, Sheila. xx
Hmmm… It shouldn't be like that. I'll check out the mix and see if it isn't mastering correctly. Thanks!
Abomination, Anathema, Abhorrent?
Welcome back, RFB. Thanks, Wil!
I think the word you were looking for was: heretical.
Loved the VVVVV music. Where did you find that again?

W00t! Okay, I’ll keep writing them, then.
It is your browser.
Chrome – Feed the burrito *doesn’t* work
IE – Feed the burrito works
FireFox – Feed the burrito works
Safari – Feed the burrito works.
I am betting you are both using Chrome.
Yeah, I'm on Chrome. I wonder why it doesn't work.
It was part of the humble indie soundtrack bundle.
Not sure, I have reported to TypePad and noted it was on “Feed the Burrito” on RFB, and that it only happens in Chrome. At least there is a work around for now, even it is means using a different browser.

Do you think that you and Marc could work out a deal to produce a RFB T-Shirt, or failing that, would the two of you to OK me having one made for my personal use only? Would Marc be OK with sending me a high enough res logo I could get a printer to put on a T-Shirt? That is something I have been wanting for a while now. I love RFB, and would like to wear some advertisement for it to get some more hipsters, flipsters and finger popping daddies to knock RFB their lobes.
Strange, Firefox 13.0.1 works fine with me on feed the burrito. If you have IE you might give that a try.
It's Anathema. Someone on G+ or Facebook pointed it out to me yesterday. Stupid useless brain letting me down again!
And
Yes, At least 1 of the 100 people reads the notes you write, and I enjoy them.
Just for the record, RFB works on Google Listen on my Android. Go to radiofreeburrito.com, click on the subscribe link, open in Google Listen, add a subscription and there you have it.
Ok, this link is better, as it has the icon
feeds.feedburner.com/radiofreeburrito
Got it from http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2009/12/knock-me-your-lobes.html
I have read the notes on pretty much every RFB I have listened to. (Which is pretty much all of them)
Am I wrong everytime I get excited (like, rediculously so) when I see you’ve posted a new RFB?
Your voice level is so much lower than the music and commercials though.
Love the RFB!!!
Anyone else think “Zelda and Link hit the clubs” when that VVVV music was on?
You're not the first person to note that the mix is off. I'm not sure why that happened, but I'll take extra care to ensure it doesn't happen next time.
An excellent mix of things that made my walk home from work a lot more enjoyable, thank you.

I recently downloaded Cards Against Humanity after seeing various people who had been to Origins rave about it and hope to play it at a party soon. I bet we’ll come with some new card ideas, too, especially UK based ones.
Pleasae keep the RFBs (with show notes) coming if your schedule allows.
Not a complaint, just a suggesstion/request; any chance we can get these streamed? I like to listen to podcasts at work and downloading is frowned upon; as is having IPod’s out; but jacking earbuds into desk speakers is considered good manners. 😀
I might be showing my age, but <old man mode> VVV brought back a flood of montages of games I spent (wasted?) my youth playing that were loaded with 8 bit music similar to VVV. Star Control 2, Ultima, and a host of other 8 bit games. </old man mode>
Yeah, I read show notes! Although I don’t always. Yay show notes, yay Cards Against Humanity! I bought a set because of the link. Someone else on G+ or that ilk mentioned it this month, but it was not available at that moment. I almost made my own set, but now I just get to hand over credit chits. Wooooo!
Thanks for the show, Wil- I enjoyed all parts, as always.
Yay! RFB! RFB!
Yeah, that first bit of music definitely sounded like an 8-bit soundtrack. I was thinking some of the end parts sounded like some of the early MegaMan music.
Just FYI; your (presumably canned) out-tro says “copyright 2011”.
Suggestion: you’ve talked about it before, but your answer to the question about being seen as Wesley is, I think, a really good explanation of your feelings. You might make that a separate file somewhere and link to it from your FAQ page (if you have one). Sort of like Adam Savage making a video about how to make ballistics gel so that he didn’t have to answer everyone e-mailing him that question any more.
Love it. Keep it up!

For Wil and anyone who is (still, after all this time) interested, I made a remix of this episode with an increased Wheaton level that I found easier to listen to. Please forgive the couple of small audio glitches.
Thanks as always for RFB, Mr. W.

I just spent about 49 minutes of my life laughing for spending this much of my Birthday being happily fed what you’re serving.
I think I’m running out and buying Cards Against Humanity now, (no brick wall complaints from me or Noelle!)
And so…
I Multiplied number by itself to get…
your hungry burrito most happily fed.
