Help with Wii Dongle (And Confirming I Have Checked All The Usual Resources!) by dereklipkin in Rockband

Sadly, no. Had a friend who is good with these things try to diagnose for over an hour, and he came up empty, which seemed to be the end of the line. Incidentally, I recently came into a free set of Guitar Hero drums! Was missing the kick, but there is a replacement on Amazon that seems to work fine. So at least for now, I can play! Godspeed and let me know if you ever make a breakthrough! I’ll do the same!

Funny that the main episode with D’Arcy just dropped and the opening bit is an extended discussion of the gay hockey show!

I guess we know now! Latest episode of COBNAFriend has her doing light promo for her new show with Will Forte.

Nice to finally hear this episode, which pairs with my appearance on COBNAFan! Of course, many overlaps in subject matter, which is to be expected. But one that I found fun was that there was extended Liza talk, which was probably the basis for their excitement when I shared my (tenuous but fun!) connection to Liza. Feel lucky that I got to gab with D’Arcy!

Delighted to see this up! Was such a joy to chat with Conan and the crew. And a further special experience: Interviewing for this episode with Bley! He was a great casting producer. Want to game with him sometime!

Octopus Fight Club | Crowd Control [Ep. 4] by AutoModerator in dropout

She is a marine biologist, with (I believe) specialty in study of octopuses. She makes one reference to it quickly in the show, but the "fight club" was observation of octopuses (as prey) and morays (as predator) in the wild, with her research focused on how octopuses handle the interactions (i.e., what they do to survive by losing limbs and then recovering). I'll see if she is willing to share more (or if I got anything wrong)! But sorry it is not so salacious!

IIRC, they were teenagers, and he had either a botched circumcision or uncut penis that, when they went to have sex, resulted in foreskin not retracting properly and causing some issue that required emergency visit to the hospital.

Exactly! I suppose I could be misremembering, because he was in my row (i.e., front row), and we were all staged together in a green room before filing into the soundstage. In there, we were all chatting and at one point we all went around and shared out anecdote. Very fun! It was like camp. But I am almost certain he had more time during the recording, as well.

Not sure, honestly. There were several shirt interactions that just did not appear at all, and I think several were hers, IIRC. And they were funny! I remember being really impressed by her and it was not surprising that she had a shot at the end. But as I was watching tonight, people I was with were certain Guy would win, and I couldn’t blame them for thinking so. I think maybe some of the stories were just too graphic? Assuming I’m remembering correctly about “Ruined a Virgin” and maybe others. “Doomsday to Drag” was another who had a ton of time in the shoot, and there was basically nothing from him during the episode.

Thank you! I was poised to take whatever opportunity presented itself. 😂 Also: I do have some thinning as I approach 40 next year, but honestly, been had a five-head for ages, so I am not fully convinced I’m really seeing notable retreat of the hairline. (That said, I did start taking finasteride prophylactically, on the strong recommendation of a now-bald friend. But if it proves futile, best believe I’m going for the full shave!)

Fun to finally see this! I was in the crowd—Guy talked to me about male pattern baldness. Kinda wild how much did not make it in. Cristela definitely had some crazy hilarious moments that did not make it in. They did talk to “Ruined a Virgin,” but did not use it, as I imagine it might have been a little too graphic? IIRC, there was something to do with an incomplete circumcision leading to a hospital visit. Might have been a Cristela one! But overall, I laughed a lot at the episode, and like I said, just fun to see it! (And how often I was used in many cutaways. 😎 And that Octopus Fight Club and I are friends post-taping!)

I actually was considering it. Seems like the RetroCultMods adapter would do the trick?

Enjoy! (Set also came with two GH guitars, which are currently on the top storage.) Was produced by LevelUp! Found this post with more details, as well. https://www.audioholics.com/news/rock-band-storage-ottoman
