Episode 107 - Netflix Removing Stuff

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When Netflix removes stuff with little warning. Now, don't get me wrong, I still love having Netflix, and I'm not pissed off about them simply removing stuff.  I understand that the stuff that's not their own IP is only temporary.  They sign a contract to have something they don't own put on there for a specific amount of time, and then it's gone and then something else comes on for awhile.  And I know it varies by region.  I understand all that.

Episode 106 - Dystopia

Hey.  Y'know what's starting to grind my gears?  Dystopian fiction. The way that the future is depicted in fiction acts as a barometer for how our planet is doing and how humanity feels about our prospects for the future.  When I was a kid in the 90's, there was still a good amount of utopian science fiction, like classic Star Trek.  People seemed interested in exploring potential futures in which humanity got everything right.  My childhood marked the tail end of that era of fiction.

Episode 105 - Distorted Audio

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  Distorted, grating audio. I absolutely hate it when I'm watching a youtube fail compilation or similar video, with clip after clip of nice, shiny, HD video and proper sound, and then all of a sudden a grainy, blurry, 144p video clip pops up, and then something loud happens, like a car crashes through a metal gate, or a deer smashes headlong into a metal trashcan, and the audio is grating, distorted, and sounds like someone just got in their car, dr

Episode 104 - The Halo Show

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  This Paramount+ tv show abomination that they actually have the audacity to call "Halo". I'm an olde school Halo fan from way back.  The Bungie-made Halos are some of my favorite games of all time, and one my favorite game stories.  Huge fan of the original books as well.  A real purist.  The fact that this vile, heinous anathema actually bears the name "Halo" is despicable treachery.  I'm not going to write an essay dissecting everything that's wr

Episode 103 - When Characters Don't Speak Up

I couldn't think of a good title for this one.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When tv characters. particularly cartoon, don't simply speak up to clear up simple misunderstandings.  See, that still doesn't really make it very clear.  I can only do this through examples. Imagine an episode of a cartoon.  The protagonist goes to a comic book convention.  She then loses a belonging, and said item is found by someone else, and that someone mistakes said item for a rare collectible (which

Episode 102 - Cartoon Crying

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When cartoons characters cry projectile tears.   ...Huh, didn't really mean to make a rhyme there.  I hate it when cartoon characters are crying and they shoot out massive arcing waterfalls that flood the room and then the other characters go by in a rowboat with raincoats and umbrellas.  Now, I'm not at all averse to a slapstick show if that's show's entire foundation such as Rocko's Modern Life, but I'm talking about when they do it in show that

Episode 101 - Onions on TV

This'll be a quick one for a change.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When characters on tv, especially cartoons, are cutting onions.  Yes, it makes your eyes water, ok, but cutting onions doesn't make you SAD.  It doesn't make blubber and sob and go "WHAAAAAA HAAAA HAAAA HAAAAAAA!"  It doesn't make you bawl like Rainbow Dash when Tank died. ... or... hibernated... or whatever.

EPISODE 100 - Modern Gaming: It's Nerf 'r Nuthin!

Wow.  100 friggin' episodes.  Never thought I'd get this far.  There sure is a lotta sh*t that annoys me!  Well, this momentous occasion deserves something special, so here's something that really, really, REALLY grinds my gears: constantly changing modern games. This is probably going to be a polarizing, controversial issue.  Pffft.    Oh well.  This is just my opinion and perspective.  I f*cking hate how all games today are constantly updated and changed.  I miss the days of finishe

127. The Number of This Episode.

My gears. Y'know what really grinds them? When characters separate out either the subject or object of a sentence and move it out in front as a lone fragment in an attempt to sound more dramatic.  This is one of those things where you probably have no idea what the f*ck I'm talking about until I give an example.  This is where, instead of asking, "Where did you hide the money?", the character will say, "The money.  Where did you hide it?"  Or instead of, "You must not trust Mr. Smith",
