GAME DEV’S QUEST e08: AUTODIDACTICISM (and more dirty words)

Spring break was fast upon us when this episode was recorded. Rett is gearing up for vacation and been working on his writing, standup comedy, and his bigfoot musical. And Taylor is hammering away at pixel art, sketching, and coding.

They discuss Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, Stephen King’s Dark Tower, building communities, staying productive, and the value of self education, or autodidacticism if you wondered why the hell someone would call an episode that, over a traditional education.

Not too much code talk in this episode, but we hope you enjoy none the less. But we invite you to check out our art too see that ANYONE can do it!

The boys challenge themselves to engage more on twitter, and spend more time coding or sketching.

CINEMAN 10: THE HUNTER

Jon and Rett are back to finish of their double header with The Hunter starring Willem Dafoe. They talk about the recent Sci Fi hit, Ex Machina, so fair warning SPOILERS about that movie too. That prompts the question of whether sentient AI can be “alive” or not. They talk about the Shoebill, a scary ass bird in Africa, and Tigers in India. Rett makes Tiger sounds and Bigfoot sounds.

DUEL OF TAINTS EPISODE 45: TIGER VS. SASQUATCH

Kane and Rett, inspired by The Joe Rogan Experience, argue  who’s better: Survivorman or Bear Grylls. Then discuss the Boy Scouts of America for way too long. But they reign things around with an in depth analysis of who would win in a fight: a Bengal Tiger or Sasquatch.

Thank you Gilgamesh Brewing for sponsoring this episode.

DUEL OF TAINTS EPISODE 19: A SUBURBAN FILM

Awesome! Internet Radio now has a brand new phone line that you can call anytime to tell us what you think? Tell us you hate us. Tell us you love us. Tell us that Han Solo is better than Indian Jones. And if you’d like, and if your message is actually good, we could feature you on one of our podcasts!

This weeks Duel of Taints has Kane and Rett listening to the very first voicemails left by you guys. It’s true that Dick Wilson is probably not real (just listen to that voice! [ Dick if you are real then follow us on twitter]). But his number was definitely from Kentucky. So there’s that.  Listen past the outro for one of the more bizarre messages left….

Its Episode 19! One more to episode 20!

DUEL OF TAINTS EPISODE 9: YETI SPAGHETTI


This week on Duel of Taints, Kane and Rett go camping! You need to see it to believe it. It’s the ultimate in survival podcasts. Will they make it out alive… probably.

As Kane and Rett gear up for their very own bigfoot hunt, they begin to ask the important questions, “is bigfoot real?” They take a look at stories throughout the years and try to determine how much credibility many of them carry.

Their highest hopes for their bigfoot hunt are laid on the table as Kane and Rett discuss what it is to believe.
