In the immortal words of Doctor Sam Beckett, oh boy! Do we have a treat for you this week, lovers and dreamers. For a second episode in a row, we have a guest, and, once again, we’re not worthy! The luminary, artist, and friend Dominick Rabrun (@CountBlackula on the Twitter) joins us for a sit down session of gab. Dom’s known for his work on Dom’s Sketchcast and, most recently, on Hip Hop RPG, an ongoing animated series about rappers battling the Illuminati in a post apocalyptic near future (yes, it’s exactly as cool as it sounds). When Aleks and Arie let him get a word in edgewise between their customary ranting, Dom shares some excellent thoughts, insights, recommendations and scoops.
The music for this episode was provided by the fantastic Holographic Sticker Club. The intro is taken from Gravitational Collapse, and the outro from Drop 5. Pick up “This is not a Tset” (pay what you want). Aleks didn’t put any robot voices into the podcast this week, so you can listen to the sweet jams without as much interference.
Stuff We Need to Clarify and Whatever:
– The full cast list of the British comedy Spaced is on IMDB. Aleks likes this program.
– Here’s a dry University lecture by a UVA professor (Ian Stevenson) about reincarnation research.
–Expeditions:Conquistador was developed by Logic Artists. (Aleks says: “Buy this game!” – it’s available on Steam)
–Sunless Sea is being developed by Failbetter Games (Aleks says: “Looking coooool!” – currently in early access)
-Here’s Leigh Alexander writing about, playing, and talking about Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin (of Naughty Dog fame) early game, the Dream Zone
