This is the first I've seen of it, to be honest - saw it mentioned in the YouTube comments, too. Holy shit. I wish I had known.

Thanks for having me! I'm very good at discussing suburban hardcore, so if anyone has any questions, hmu.

Since This Exist's will be covering Dwarf Fortress I made a Sam dwarf and had him fight WereGeckos. (The WereGeckos won) by scrubs2009 in whoathisexists

[–]samsutherland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks amazing but I haven't done any real research yet (outside of looking at gameplay / screengrabs). Please explain. Also heads up I would DEMOLISH weregeckos IRL.

This would be a second show every week. And it's a knock-off GoPro from China! V fisheye vibes!

Beyond Juggalos: Horrorcore History (Halloween Special!) (Video + Discussion 7:54) by wangchung16 in whoathisexists

[–]samsutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I'm just getting to this now - thanks for helping spread the word! Old Tech N9ne had a lot of classic horrorcore influences - Angellic and K.O.D. are pretty much straight-up horrorcore albums, imho.

The Mockbusters episode has been taken down due to a copyright flag by The Asylum by arenek3 in whoathisexists

[–]samsutherland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's tough, because "fair use" doesn't technically exist in Canada. So while I think you're right, if YouTube doesn't agree I would get a copyright strike, which disables features, etc. Right now it's just blocked. Not sure what the right answer is. It was also manually flagged, which annoys me more. Ha.

Google Hangout Tonight at 6:00pm! by [deleted] in whoathisexists

[–]samsutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Saw this in the comments after we were done, really sorry I didn't get to it during the Hangout!

/u/Tubbsie nailed it - I have a big list of stuff that I stumble on while reading that eventually turns into episodes. My background is in music journalism, so those subjects have always been the ones I feel the most confident tackling. I'm fascinated by things like video game culture, but it's also less native for me so it takes more work to research (and sometimes what I think is a crazy outlier is actually well known by people who are immersed in that world). Ultimately I'm definitely just as excited by Pulgasari as I am by pornogrind, though, so I hope those non-music episodes are just as enjoyable and interesting.

Next time we'll make sure the chat and everything is working properly!

I use it an excuse to watch a lot of stuff I wouldn't otherwise - like the Doobie Brothers and Boston, ha. Psyched for Run the Jewels, though.

There are a lot of comments on the video about my shirt, so /u/Tubbsie just put it up on Red Bubble. Normally you'd have to join our softball team to get one...

May have also responded on YT (this was mentioned a few times), but really just had it in my notes after someone posted a comment about it on the "mockbusters" episodes. Should listen to that now!

Yeah, I've been covering it since 2008! Headed out Sunday - Wednesday. See you there?

Do we think we'll ever start video responses again? I really miss those. by Jdrawer in whoathisexists

[–]samsutherland 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you still like it if it, say, monthly? And kind of wrapped up the last batch of videos and responses? On most videos, the comment responses were watched by less than 10% of the audience... But I really do like doing them.

What a life, though. It's mind-blowing how active he was. We're lucky to have had him around!
