We delve into the absurd architecture of Groverhaus, explore the very beginning of 4Chan, the early days of

Winslow and Steve are back in the United States and we're working on a fresh batch of episodes, so here's an episode from behind the Patreon paywall.A Trekkie's Tale is a product of pre-internet fandom but whose protagonist Mary Sue is still invoked as an epithet online to this very day.

Magick Is Real (and Praxis)

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

2024/05/07

Magic is the art of illusion and sleight of hand. Magick (pronounced "muh-gick") is the term for discussing real world sorcery among those whose know The Art. Today's episode falls squarely in the latter, as we explore a short-lived thread dedicated to spellcasting and fortunetelling in the leftist shitposting subforum of C-SPAM. What qualifications do we have in the world of metaphysics? Well, Winslow makes tarot decks and Jay read The Dresden Files in college so we won't be summoning homunculi any

This episode is canon. When crowdfunding blew up in the early 2010s, it seemed like a new golden age of media was upon us: dormant franchises were given long-awaited spiritual successors and small creators were given resources to chase their dreams and make media that would never be greenlit by a studio. One of these early success stories was Barkley 2* and today we're going to talk about its creation and how Kickstarter allowed a humble Something Awful goon the opportunity to create The Greatest

My Little Pony. Three little words that can have wildly different connotations across the internet thanks to wildly unexpected popularity and fandom of 2010's My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

It's been a long wait, and we return bearing a terrible secret. The secret pheromone extraction method may not actually help you attract FEMALES but it does make for a fascinating case study in how misinformation spreads online.

MINISODE - An Oral History of 2023 Something Awful

2023/12/22

I normally don't like to talk about current forums stuff because it's boring and leads to more people yelling at me than usual. But I can't let perfect be the enemy of good so here's a feature-length minisode on 2023 in review and the current state of the soul of Something Awful as a community. I really need to emphasize that this is literally me ranting in a car about forums moderators for 90 minutes this is not a place of honor Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

But I didn't want to leave you empty-handed so I'm including a double minisode to end 2023 on a bang: an oral history of the year's events on Something Awful, and a life update of just what exactly I've been up to this past half a year (!!!)For those of you who aren't fans of the

The conclusion to the Brigador saga.

This summer's The Flash movie is maybe one of the biggest bombs of the entire superhero movie era, so what better time to revisit Something Awful's comic book subforum for some classic 2000s internet exuberant superhero fanboyism. That's just the first ten minutes, the rest is Jay giving life updates and explaining the lack of recent uploads. but don't worry, we should be back on track in a few more weeks!I'll edit the links mentioned in the ep here this evening.For inquiries, contact the show

Brigador (Part One)

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

2023/08/02

The Your Console Sucks subforum of Something Awful was kind of like the Velvet Underground of late-00s video game shitposting communities: Not a lot of people posted there, but the ones who did went on to achieve varying degrees of success and infamy in video game development and criticism. This three-parter focuses on one of the products of that wellspring, the cult military sci-fi mech combat game Brigador. And don't worry if you've never heard of it before, because the game itself is arguably the
