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

Secret Pheromone Extraction Method

2024/03/27

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.

I"M FROM THE INTERNET ·

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.

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

Martin Random was the handle of a well-known teller of tall tales in the early days of the Something Awful forums, and while I personally am not a fan of him or his writing a minisode seems like the perfect excuse to talk about one of his less scatological and more far-reaching stories. Today we talk about Martin Random's made-up stories about working as an agent in the Secret Service and witnessing all the quirky goings-on amongst 2006 America's favorite bunch of war criminals.

2023/04/05

People being mad about chili recipes on the internet is a long and storied tradition in the world of posting. This is a unique case, though, because regardless of your opinions on using onion soup mix and six whole squirts of tobasco sauce as seasoning for a pot of chili its the really tryhard edginess that pushes this one into the annals of goon history. Don't worry, even the goons aren't having this one and we get maybe one of the all-timer dunks on a poster to end this mini-saga.Producer Steve is
