Goodbye Mythbusters

By -

Mythbusters just wrapped their final season and it was fantastic!

I've followed the Mythbusters for as long as they've been around.  It's been almost 15 years and it's finally come to an end.

There were some seasons that were better than others and occasionally an episode or two wouldn't quite hit the mark but overall it's been one of the most consistently good shows on TV.

I stopped keeping up episode to episode around the time where they were testing 4-7 myths every episode.  I've heard from a lot of friends that they did the same and only watched the show sporadically since then.

If that's you... you should know that this final season has been amazing.  All 11 episodes were fantastic and I was excited every week to see what was coming up next!

Not to mention they went out with a huge bang.  After rocket-sledding Buster in oblivion they drove a giant wedge truck through props from all the seasons of the show and then had the biggest explosion in the history of their show when they blew up another cement truck.

If you are a lapsed fan I can't stress enough how much you should go back and watch this final season.  It's completely worth your time!

    Dang! Sounds like I need to watch at least the final episode then.

    For me, I've seen pretty much everything up into season 11, but then I kinda fell off from it. And I loved Kari, Grant, and Tory, so when they took them out of the show I didn't particularly care to pick it up again either. It was fun when I watched, but there was just so much of it.... too much of a good thing, I guess.

      Yeah, lots of people fell away over the years. It's completely worth your time to check out the finale. It was really good.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently have.

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing games way ahead

What is Blaugust? 2023 Edition

I jumped right into the previous post without actually explaining Blaugust.  So... what is it?  Blaugust is an excuse to get people blogging... in August.  Hence, Blaugust! I'm not the best person to pitch it, but Blaugust is put on by a long time friend of mine, Belghast.  Here's what he had to say about Blaugust for the 2023 kickoff: Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place in August each year that focused on blogging and other serialized content. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. For years blogging has been dwindling, and in part, Blaugust was my attempt and reversing that course by compiling a bunch of veteran bloggers in one place and making it super easy to ask questions and get answers. The idea is that this festival of blogging can help reignite dwindling fires for the next year and give folks a sense of kinship as a result. Ea
