GWC Podcast #116

Well, I’m downloading my free Audio Book from audible.com

I chose The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

That’s an important distinction, and that’s the point I was trying to make, (although you and hansioux made it much better). The real danger in terms of technology is ourselves.

Just listened to the podcast. Here are my comments:

I already said this on another thread but thanks for getting me to watch the Animatrix. Your talk about the Second Renaissance was so engrossing, Audra’s comment about humans seeing the differences but not seeing the similarities was so…profound (is that the right word to use?). And I agree about when the robots went to the UN, it was so sad. I can’t believe I could have gone the rest of my life not seeing the Second Renaissance at least.

The talk about World Record helped me alot as when I watched it I wasn’t sure what was really going on and what it had to do with the Matrix (apart from him becoming not jacked-in midway through the race). Maybe it was just me being dumb but I definately understand it more now.

I see that Audra is the one who likes something less without “scantilly clad” women. First it was the Three dress, now this. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And I looooooved the little Sims discussion. I haven’t played The Sims in a while and it brought back lots of memories. The box of chocolates and the baby alerts and how musicians made no money. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the memories (although loads of people must have been like “Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?”) The most annoying thing I did on that game (just in case you care) was in the Magic expansion pack, I did a spell on my cat to turn it into a human, and she was a right bitch! Worst mistake ever! If only I had another save to go back to at the time.

Can’t wait to hear the talk about The Terminator. Might send an mp3 file in as a call and I might even try and do a Revelations intro. :slight_smile:

Ok - finally getting to listen to the last 'cast. I have to respond to Sean’s “I want to be a sex object” comment.

DUDE - Do you not remember that we were fighting over you in the forums? Second husbands are always the “sex-machine” husbands - you know that, right? :smiley:

Yes, but will he remain a sex-object now that he’s not got those Fabio-locks?

Thank you for the compliment. Sigh, that UN scene makes me want to cry every time I think about it.

To quote Sean: “Hell yea!”

I think I need photographic proof. Sean, show us the new do!

Just a funny that I caught while listening to The Force Cast Star Wars podcast.
Jason and Pete felt that somehow the Star Wars campaign ticket based on looks would be Saul Thigh as John McCain and Sara Palin as Laura Roslyn. (Or Visa Versa) McCain just needs to put the eye patch on, and Bingo.

I have no Idea what the reference was and in no way expressing political views or wish to start a political discussion. But the resemblance is quite funny.

Right there with ya. Makes me sick, too.

Kudos on the uber-deep discussion on the 'cast, too. I have to listen again after I finish watching. Gotta sneak it, since it’s not viewable in front of the kidlet. sigh.

Am finally caught up on podcasts! Thanks for all the avatar love guys! Of course I know it has nothing to do with me, but rather the power of a Slave Leia costume in any form.

After all the great discussion on this thread, I’m a bit bummed no one commented on my baby’s first call to GWC. His older brother listened to it and then proceeded to call in himself within minutes.

Sorry Audra, Chuck and Sean- I’m creating monsters.

I think Chuseandra said it all.
