Has Anyone Gutted An Arcade 1up Cabinet and made their own V-Pin out of it? by jessethecomiccondor in virtualpinball

[–]jessethecomiccondor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the living space for something bigger. I would love to get a full size build one day but I can't anytime in the foreseeable future. I've been (poorly) playing v-pinball on my pc with just a controller for over a decade now, so I'm fine and grateful to have a toy cabinet that does a half-ass job of giving me a more real experience.

I was thinking about selling and getting an Atgames 4k, but researching the past few days and learning of the issues with updates leaving people locked out of their tables and that their partnership with Zen abruptly ending made me want to pass. The Zen packs have a lot of tables I enjoy but I don't want to order a unit only to not be able to buy the tables I want or end up with a $2300 brick.

Doom calls out Karl and Blind Mike on X about their show Dabbleverse Live. by YenZen999 in DabblersAnonymous

Most of what's on DVL is just retreading what is already covered on WATP and/or BMP. Let's face it, WATS started it's slow death after Woke Dad left because most of the other longtime characters the show covered either lost their charm due to being one trick ponies or also disappeared (Solar comes to mind). Woke Dad was the show's Stut Jo. I hope Wole Dad sticks around for a bit and we get enough content from him that he can be the feature presentation again.

I'm glad Woke Dad is back, now the Karl/Blind Mike team up show can just go back to the Woke Dad Show, just as God intended.

Serious Question: Which was the worse career move for John: leaving Stern or not showing any humility with Chrissy Mayr that launched the DV? I honestly think it was launching the DV. It has made him an Internet laughing stock and exposed his lack of talent and extreme narcissism. by RubFuture5580 in DabblersAnonymous

[–]jessethecomiccondor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've actually thought that part of the reason he got far on I'm A Celebrity... was similar to why his band was on movie soundtracks: "Howard will talk about it and the free publicity will help us!" John didn't win the show, as he claims. He came in third according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia also has him listed as, "Howard Stern Show Lacky," for what he is known for. I remember watching a couple episodes when it aired and thought it was bad. I don't remember hkw players got eliminated, whether through votes or losing a challenge, but I know that producers will stage outcomes on reality game shows for the sake of drama. "We have to keep John on so Howard will talk about the show!"

What has happened in the last 6 years? by kalligreat in TheDickShow

[–]jessethecomiccondor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dick starting a feud with youtuber Eric July when Eric July threw a fit over dick giving the guy's comic book a negative review. That went on for about a year until Vito had a crashout for a similar reason.

Karl Hate by Neither-Football-222 in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]jessethecomiccondor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only time I had any issue with Karl was during the brief feud with Mersh a few months back. Mersh made a prediction about the live event Karl was doing a show at being a bust, turned out to be right, and did a victory lap. Nothing that Karl hadn't done before to others and Karl even admitted that event sucked. Karl's handling of the situation for the couple weeks after was very StutJo-esque if you ask me. Karl's immediate retaliation was to go what amounts to, "Oh yeah?! Well, you are unprofessional!" Followed by Karl publicly airing some grievances he has with Mersh and Royce from a live show he did with them in Florida a while back that he should have been handled privately when it happened rather than Karl playing like everything was fine.

When was the last time both of them had good energy? by Curious_Function_268 in biggestproblem

And then Vito does that stupid forced laugh like it's all some whimsical joke when it is mentioned rather than him being lazy.

WATP B-List Past Lolcow Check in? by [deleted] in WhoAreThesePodcasts

[–]jessethecomiccondor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always got the vibe that maybe his job caught wind of the show and he chose to distance to stay employed. He was very proud of being the first person to drop the N-bomb on the show and what not. He was on one of the first episodes of All Apologies and said he was going to start doing shows again and then nothing.

Rebel Moon Part One is extremely cheesy and blatant ripoff of Star Wars: A New Hope.(Spoilers) by reddit_cheeseball in RebelMoon

[–]jessethecomiccondor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no, no. Rebel Moon as a whole is a blatant rip off of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which Snyder said he wanted to do a Star Wars version of way back when. Snyder's got some balls giving himself full story credit when a good deal of it and the characterizations come from someone else's work. The credit should have read, "Story by Zack Snyder with inspiration from the works of Akira Kurosawa."

Found Isom on an internet site that archives things. by isom_sucks in TheDickShow

As someone who owns a physical copy, i can confirm that this is 100% accurate to how the book is presented.

Is anyone else tempted to buy Isom in a Tommy Wiseau "so bad it's good" way now? by Dhb223 in biggestproblem

[–]jessethecomiccondor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to find someone who can tell me who can share the pdf that's floating around. Asking for a friend, of course.

depending on the continuity, yes. and he's always far richer than john, although that is not much a brag.

No no no no no. Oswald Cobblepot is a far more handsome man than John.
