Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Re: Swag - Tribes of Tokyo T-Shirts?
« on: October 03, 2017, 08:35:22 PM »
I would only have seen it on the RPPR site itself, so pirated design seems unlikely.
More probably I somehow misinterpreted the context of the picture and thought it was advertising physical stuff when it was just linking to a particular episode.
Sorry for the confusion.

Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Swag - Tribes of Tokyo T-Shirts?
« on: September 28, 2017, 10:32:52 PM »
Is a government conspiracy implanting false memories in my head again, or did there used to be a t-shirt available for sale with the Tribes of Tokyo looming sky beast image?

Months back I thought this was a thing, but can't locate a link to it now.

One of the episodes (I'm thinking Eclipse Phase) had a reference to the moon base bear problem.  Can only assume this is a WKUK reference:

(Sung in a low psychotic voice or through gritted teeth) "Tammy...  Tammy... Tammy's in love!"

From the tone it's usually spoken I figured Tammy was being filtered through a re-quote by an actor in another movie (Fear and Loathing maybe?).  But I can't find an exact reference.

It is indeed a requote.  :)

In a somewhat forgettable 1988 comedy called The Wrong Guys, John Goodman played an escaped convict/psychotic killer named Duke Earle.  I really wish my google-fu was strong enough to locate the scene, but he puts together a rifle while singing that song.  Sadly, we cannot begin to do justice to the scene through mere description; you have to see the descent into madness yourself.
Sadly not free anywhere I can find on Roku either.  Just through snail mail Netflix.

Might as well put it in the queue.  Oh, the lengths I'll go to.

Thanks for the insight.  :)
Finally got around to seeing this.

Unfortunately, John Goodman kind of throws away the line.

In all honesty I think Tom sells it better.

Where does one even get a copy of Lacuna? Seriously, I've been looking for a while now: it's right up my alley.

I'll second wanting to hear you folks run Lacuna.  The soundtrack would be a non-stop loop of the Inception noise.

Others that would be interesting to hear:

Cyclopean Ruins
System:  Grim War or Godlike
Premise:  You have incredible powers, what could go wrong?  Yet typical paranormal military plot ensues as Army occult types and/or Talents ransack an ancient city for alien/occult war materiel.

Whale of Noise
System:  Mutant Future or old school Gamma World.
Premise:  The Concordat of Cetaceans has passed judgement on the land dwellers:  You're all a bunch of jerks and will be blasted from the Earth's surface Star Trek IV style when their space brethren come to retrieve them in a month.  But the world may yet be spared if you can procure for the Concordat the one redeeming work humans ever produced:  Master discs of the lost Enya album Whale Song.

Cydonian Nights
System:  OctaNe
Premise:  Postapocalyptic kung-fu Spaghetti Western.

Please ignore.

In CoC: The White Stairs, I would have sworn that the inscription on the playground was a reference to Kurosawa's film Ikiru.

But the name Ross cites as the playground's benefactor does not sound like Kanji Watanabe.
Also Hiroshima ≠ Tokyo.

"What I remember, I say.  What I don't remember I make up mid sentence."

I feel like this was mentioned in one of the Base Raiders sessions.

It's funny how certain ordinary words invoke Know Evil in my mind.

e.g.:  Today I was reading the internet (as one does) and couldn't help thinking Augustine would still be safely tucked away somewhere if hir handlers would just have consistently applied some elaboration of these simple rules.

In a Hagrid voice:  "You're a wizard (Insert name here) !"

Typically, "You're a wizard Harry!"

Somebody please let him know that proto-Tachikoma/SAIROC chassis is kickstarting:

Comes with the eponymous AGI at the million dollar pledge level.
Or for a billion dollars, your own Seed AI.

"Why can't I quit you!?"

Possibly a misquote of Brokeback Mountain:  "I wish I knew how to quit you."


Also:
