Episode 14 - A Giant Crazy Butterfly

On this episode of We Talk To Ourselves:


  • Pokemon: The Japanese phenomenon where you play with monsters you keep in your pocket.  We explore why this simple RPG has become something of a cultural phenomenon that we keep throwing money at.
  • Public Service Announcement: Lego Marvel Super Heroes came out on Tuesday and while Eli devours that game, you are cleared to leave your homes.
  • Arrow and Supernatural have new seasons, and thus they must be spoken about.
  • Troy Baker, also known as the new voice actor for the Joker.  We talk about how awesome he is, and how voice acting in games has gotten steadily better over the last 10 years.
  • Ancient Alien Theory - We aren't saying it's aliens....but....it isn't aliens.
  • Redubbing, riffing, and spoofs...oh my.
  • Outtake - Eric has real trouble with the intro and more cursing than all our other podcasts combined.

Double Post: Episodes 12 and 13.

This week, we have two episodes of We Talk to Ourselves for you.

Episode 12 - Podcast: The Nerdening

On this episode of We Talk To Ourselves:

  • DC Comics and the New 52 - Why is DC trying so hard to sabotage their own products?  From editorial mismanagement, to professional ineptitude, and questionable moral decisions, DC comics is slowly but surely eroding the foundation of what was supposed to be their fresh start.
  • We Watch Movies Review: Riddick - We review the latest installment of the Riddick franchise, complete with all of its violence, gore, and overt sexism.
  • Cosplay:  The stigma of purity - We talk about the belief that you have to be the same race, gender, or body type to cosplay a character, and why people believe this.
  • Special Guest: Hunter - We discuss game mastery, problem players and GM's, and some of our favorite moments that have arisen out of our RPG experiences.

Episode 13 - F'in Science!

On this episode of We Talk To Ourselves:

  • Magic/Superpowers - Suddenly, and without warning, a large portion of the population of Earth has superpowers or access to limitless magical power.  We discuss what we think would happen when the monkeys suddenly have the power of the gods.
  • Time Travel - We hop in the DeLorean and go back in time...not really, since we talk about how modern science thinks that doing so is highly improbable.  We also talk about our favorite media that portrays time travel, and where we would go if we could break the bonds of time.
  • F'in Science! - At great length we talk about science.  Everything from making light a solid, to planets made of mercury, and Nikola Tesla.
  • Week in Geek - Comics, games, TV, and movies from the week we recorded.

We Play RPG's Episode 2: Parts 3-7

This week on We Play RPG's!

  • The party meets a new member!  Then they realize he's quite less wizardy than they would have liked.
  • In the vast wastes of the Great Desert, the party encounters a set of awesome ruins, containing some not so awesome things.
  • At the capital, things get real.  Like, really real.
Also, of note.  Some of you may have noticed some things aren't quite adding up.  There was a whole episode that got lost to data corruption.  It involved a slave ship, meeting members of The Seven, fighting a Master, and blowing up a ship, as well as running from a Witherbeast and a Chinook.  I'd love to have posted that for you, but it wasn't to be.  My apologies, but I hope this episode makes up for it.
