IJBM: The WOFF episode on Fallout 3

Odradek · 2016-01-01 18:34:03

I thought it would be good, but SA goons have a Pavlovian need to say "Fallout New Vegas did it better" every time they express any possible sentiment about Fallout 3, and I cannot listen to three hours of that.

Which sucks because they're doing three weeks of this.

Odradek · 2016-01-01 18:34:21

I feel no compulsion to explain what I'm talking about when nobody would respond anyway.

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 18:44:06

i remmeber i bought follout new vegas because you could be gay

eventually i got around to playing it

i liked shooting things while listening to the oldies station

Odradek · 2016-01-01 18:44:48

Yes that is fun.

Tachyon · 2016-01-01 18:50:25

the Warm Or Fuzzy Feeling episode

Odradek · 2016-01-01 18:51:57

I think a Manchurian Candidate thing happened to goons

I don't know HOW this shadowy conspiracy is going to take power by making people say "X was good in Fallout 1 and 2, bad in Fallout 3, amazing in Fallout New Vegas, and is better than it was in Fallout 3 in Fallout 4" but I am clearly the one man who can stop it

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 18:52:06

Grand Woff Tarkin

Odradek · 2016-01-01 18:55:45

Fiiiiine http://duckfeed.tv/woff/117

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 18:56:47

man ducks are fucked up yo, i know better than to click that

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 19:00:33

one minute you try to give them some food, the next minute they're swarming you and they're like 9000 feet tall it's fucked up

Odradek · 2016-01-02 15:43:11

It's like the refrain of a chorus.

Still pretty annoyed tbh

Odradek · 2016-01-06 18:32:56

I know no one will respond, but like the ant in the Doris Day song, I have high hopes.

Odradek · 2016-01-06 18:33:04

High apple pie in the sky hopes.

Odradek · 2016-01-08 00:18:38

Part 2 came out today who's listening to it not me

Section42L · 2016-01-08 04:30:51

I don't even know who these guys are.

Odradek · 2016-01-08 13:18:47

Podcasters, obviously.

Odradek · 2016-01-09 02:53:31

Goon podcasters more importantly.

Princess Alice · 2016-01-09 02:54:04

Assertion: Peridot has better social skills than the average goon

Odradek · 2016-01-09 02:54:48

Goon religious dogma includes feelings about Fallout games and feelings about Rape Letter Media

Actually I don't know Gary and Kole's opinion on Violence Against Women Is Conducive To Good Film Criticism.

If they have one.

Odradek · 2016-01-10 22:52:32

tbf, they did a 24 hour charity stream for Transactive, an organization that provides support and information to transgender children and teens in the Portland area.

So that's worth some gooning.

Odradek · 2016-01-14 21:28:18

They finally did the DLC, and they can go on to something else and I won't have to wait out goonpinions.

Haven · 2016-01-14 21:35:49

this is still really confusing to me because i mostly read their politics threads, so to me "goonpinions" is like "Full Communism Now"

Ha

Odradek · 2016-01-14 21:36:57

Maybe it's Full Communism Now and the holy litany of Fallout Opinions

Salix Babylonika · 2016-01-15 01:37:19

I'm more like "slightly more communism now" personally.

Obā-san · 2016-01-15 02:02:50

I wonder if I would have strong political opinions if I found ones I actually liked

Tachyon · 2016-01-15 11:07:21

i find it difficult not to hold strong political opinions, because it just seems so obvious to me that certain ones are correct and sensible and other ones are bad and harmful

Tachyon · 2016-01-15 11:08:06

i realize this has nothing to do with the topic

sorry Myr, i'm not into Fallout

Section42L · 2016-01-15 13:33:36

I'm kinda with Naney on this one, honestly.

I'll need to elaborate on this later in a more appropriate venue.

Odradek · 2016-01-15 13:59:41

I like how everyone is implying this thread would have ever had discussion of the beginning topic.

Odradek · 2016-04-02 16:18:07

I'm not sure what your point is. Are you denying that there's an aesthetic that's common in goonpinions? When you bring up criticisms, is it not in reference to things you dislike?

This is my starting point: goonpinions has an aesthetic. Yes, #notallgoonpinions, but by and large, there is a collection of visual, dialogue, plot and characterization tropes that are common to the medium. I don't dig those visual, dialogue, plot or characterization tropes. I don't think it looks cool, or sounds cool, I don't respond to the dialogue ticks. They're annoying to me, or, if you'd like, they're silly in a way I dislike.

When I end up liking goonpinions, it's when it avoids those things. Which does happen! But I'm not sure if you're saying the aesthetic isn't there (which I disagree with) or you're saying you shouldn't dislike an aesthetic (which I also disagree with). Yes, I can scour the world of goonpinions for exceptions but why would I? I know they exist, they land on my door step sometimes, but life is too short to swim upstream for media. There's media everywhere.

Odradek · 2016-04-02 23:18:05

I should just stop listening to duckfeed.tv shows.

I keep getting driven to distraction by increasingly invasive and irritating gooniness.

I guess this shows that gamer culture can still be obnoxious minus sexism and racism if you just add gooniness to compensate.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-04-02 23:34:57

Game Goons

Odradek · 2016-04-08 01:33:38

THEY ARE DOING A MONTH OF FALLOUT NEW VEGAS

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

*falls into sun*

Salix Babylonika · 2016-04-08 02:04:33

RIP

Odradek · 2016-05-25 20:56:36

This June is the month of F:NV

Goodbye to something to listen to thursdays

Salix Babylonika · 2016-05-25 21:06:52

well that sucks

Klinotaxis · 2016-05-25 21:38:55

i read SAL so goonpinions is an unorganized maelstrom of a lot of deeply held opinions about phonetics

lee4hmz · 2016-05-25 21:40:14

hooked on goonics

Klinotaxis · 2016-05-25 21:40:55

the linguistics thread is titled "The Linguistics Megathread: What is with the hostility?"

lee4hmz · 2016-05-25 21:43:05

oh jeez

I'm sure "English is a bastard child, unlike that bastion of linguistic purity [my pet language]" come up a lot :P

Crystal · 2016-05-25 22:30:40

Odradek · 2016-06-01 15:37:58

I am listening to it and it is already wanky

In summary: Screw goons forever

Aliroz · 2016-06-02 01:43:57

I keep reading WOFF as WAFF, as in Warm And Fuzzy Feeling.
