Banter Banter

This week, the Banter Boys take another trip to the Trailer Park and set eyes on the new D&D movie 'Honor Among Thieves'. Aaron gets nostalgic about his early tabletop gaming days and checks in with Manny and Mike about the different products from D&D they interacted with in their earlier days. Mike replaces all the toilet paper he pick-pocketed from Aaron before reality attacks via Hasbro's fresh sound. Bust out your own Drow Samurai and slice into the latest episode from Banter Banter.

Forget the trappings of old.  Nostalgia comes in as a substitute for creative substance.  Less and less original content is presented to us as crossovers, but in exchange, we give up any of the trappings that would give a context of reason for it to happen.  Join Mike and Manny as they try untangle this mess.

The banter gents talk about the influence of media in our world views.  Is our choice in media indicative of the values we hold, or are we at the whimms of what shows, films, books, and games we partake in?

Getting into the thick of collection culture, our hoarders in chief, Aaron, Mike and Manny get to talking.  Both stuff they're into and things they aren't, everything is on the table, ready to be graded and marked up as a one-of-a-kind limited edition.

Aaron gets patched back into this episode and downloads some updates to remember talking about speed runs. Mike ties speed running to the Rubik's Cube and seeks knowledge about other physical types of speed runs that are not video game related. Manny mentions Cup Stacking, in both solo and team competitions as another niche physical speed run where there is a league to help confirm/validate time records. While the Banter Boys enter a blindfolded podcast recording speed run for this episode, they ponder if cooking competitions are just variants of a speed run. Fill out your request form and submit it to be on the front page of the largest 'world record' collection while you sit at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality with Banter Banter this week.

The hosts of Banter Banter try their hand at running through the obstacles of their podcast, giving their thoughts on the precursors of speed running and its place in the landscape of hobbies. From high scores to doing tricks to spaz out Mario Kart, we race to come up with a call on this craft.

Mike and Manny chat about finished products that was released back before the internet and post internet, and how patches are easier to provide constant updates and upgrades. Has the ability to release games without cleaning most of the bugs and glitches and just patch the game after release created a bad environment for the gaming community or the gaming industry? Do gamers see a benefit in helping correct these bugs and glitches? While waiting for the code updates to Aaron's processing UI, Manny and Mike mention some games from the pre-internet times that somehow got greenlit and were disasterous failures. Maybe if those games could have gotten patched like they can now, those games might have succeeded, or maybe they would have died before release. So come sit at the corner of Reality and Nostalgia with the Banter Banter Boys and imagine what could have been saved by a patch and what could have been great if it wasn't rushed to market with a fist full of glitches.

What happens when publishers get too obsessed with making changes to previously released media, it isn't always pretty.  Our hosts are quick to point this out and bring up some thoughts on just what was wrong with these releases and whether  its worth keeping your old media.
